Some thoughts on last week:
Put $5 on the Niners, -3, last night; they still found a way to give me a heart attack at the end of the game. Thank you, Jay Cutler, for sucking (he threw his 9th Red Zone INT yesterday!). My friend Rahul said it best about this abortion of a game: [...]
Two NFL notes that have me confused today. First, the Green Bay Packers are a mess right now, starting with their offensive line and ending with their front office. These two stories happening in the same week offer some insight to what’s going on in Green Bay. Why is everyone bitching and [...]
Currently watching the Bears getting called for not one, but TWO delay of game penalties on their 2-minute drill. They actually got called for a delay of game when lining up for a field goal with 6 seconds in the half while they still had a timeout remaining. Someone needs to be fired [...]
First off, I’d like to show some love for Matt Stafford’s Miracle Cover. We might need to add this one to the definitions & examples page as Stafford’s first four picks just weren’t good enough for Seattle to cover. It took a 5th INT returned for a score with under 30 seconds remaining. [...]
Loving Pat’s “fun units.” It sounds like a groupie nickname for an NBA team. As usual, follow these at your own risk.
Detroit +10 @ Seattle
Too many points for one crap team against another. Fully aware this means backing Matthew Stafford on the road.
Tennessee @ San Francisco -4
I don’t understand this [...]
So Van dodges a bullet because the three picks yesterday were all good. That puts us up 75 fun units for yesterday, let’s try to keep things moving. For good or bad, here are the NFL plays…
Kansas City (+6.5) @ Jacksonville
This is just a line that immediately stuck out to me in looking at things [...]
Before the picks, here’s my tip of the week: Josh Duhamel, if you are going to cheat on your wife, make sure it’s not with a stripper that works at an Atlanta club called, “Tattletales”, and certainly don’t act like you are susprised that news got out after knowing said strip club name.
It’s almost [...]
So Van Tran got me out of bed this morning to talk college football gambling. And of course this led me to force myself to look at lines and now I am putting 25 “fun units” (dollars) on 3 games. If I lose I curse Van Tran for dragging me out of bed. If I [...]
Some quick NBA thoughts on a Friday. I have the Spurs at +1075 to win the NBA title despite their loss in Utah last night.
On a sad note, Utah’s Matt Harpring is likely to retire after this season.
Harpring continues to deal with the effects of a devastating infection that followed ankle surgery in 2008 [...]

I love this headline: FAT footballers to receive free Big Macs in Thai sponsorship deal. Somehow, I’m not sure this is exactly the best idea…
Thailand’s top footballers will receive free burgers as part of their new three-year, £545,000 sponsorship [...]
