Thursday Links

Lots of inspiration this week…
Follow-ups and excerpts from the Marvin Harrison story.
Jason Fagone also wrote an awesome story on Tim Tebow a few months back.
All these humanizing details tend to take the edge off the fact that Tebow’s entire role-model persona doesn’t work unless he can convey that, fundamentally, he’s better than you: stronger, more [...]

Wild Card Playoff Preview and Picks

First of all, thanks to the referee/Shane Graham combo below in Wk 4 that hit a FG in OT versus the Browns that was the key Miracle Cover in my Browns Under 5.5 bet (Season review here).  oddly, I really liked the way Mangini and Co. played and the end of the year and profited [...]

Week 15 Ramble Drill

We start the week with this mantra I learned from Eric Mangini’s interview with NFL Network this week: “Sometimes punting isn’t always a bad thing” (you know that’s a shot at BB).
Herm Edwards’ advice for Tiger Woods
Thanks to Brian Billick, his adjective for Jay Cutler, “Jeff Georgish”, is now going to be an EXTENSIVE part [...]

Week 13 NFL Ramble Drill

Some thoughts on last week:
When this happens in a game, I think that means it’s time for Bobby Bowden to retire.  The play is almost Longest Yard-esque, I wonder if the QB banged his girl or didn’t pay for that lineman’s dinner the night before.
Who would of thought the Miracle of the Year would have [...]

Site Name Change

Van Tran while visiting the site and viewing Lou’s most recent picks
“Lou should change the name to ‘Miracle Covers: Losing at Sports.’”

Week 9 Quick Picks

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 [...]

College Football Picks

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 [...]

Will you complete my teaser?

So I have decided that I want to bet the under on the South Carolina/Tennessee game.  Its around 41 I think.  But I want to tease it and I really do not like any college games too much so I am going to do the game I played two weeks ago where I try to [...]
