Real Madrid’s economic model looks unsustainable. Well, no shit. They don’t factor in bribing the government for hundreds of millions of dollars though. That usually doesn’t show up on the financial statements. At least they haven’t been caught betting on their own games yet. Anyone ever go to prison for the basketball games? As the [...]
1. Jamarcus Russell now has 43 completions through four games. Tom Brady completed 39 passes in week 1 versus the Bills. 2. The Bears average drive versus the Lions started at the Detroit 46 yard line. The Lions averaged starting on their own 18. Said Lions coach Jim Schwarz: We were poor on special teams. [...]

Some Injuries May Hurt More Than Others. No, this isn’t about a guy getting kicked in the balls. More on Atletico Madrid, the most entertaining team the other side of the Atlantic. The original mission the FourFourTwo bosses gave La Liga Loca was to deliver a careful, detailed and thoroughly thoughtful thesis of what Porto [...]
Going to stroll though my picks… Oakland (+9.5) @ Houston Houston will win this game. I think that is about a 95% certainty. I am pretty sure one of the reasons the line on this has to be 9.5 at minimum is because it gets teased down to a field goal if otherwise, and Houston [...]
