It’s Not My Money!

Friday, November 30th, 2007

Well, now I have to turn in the rest of my picks. Because I fell asleep at the wheel in posting my picks, missing the NFC Championship Game preview called Packers-Cowboys, now playing on DirecTV and your sports bar, My fantasy quarterback, Brett Favre, who never gets hurt….got hurt.
Well, he’ll be okay, his seperated shoulder […]

The Best Job In College Football…Kinda

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

In a surprise to no one who knows that losing to your arch-rival six consecutive times in college football means the coach is going to get canned, Chan Gailey got the ax as the head coach at Georgia Tech yesterday.
Some less-informed commentators, looking on the surface at Gailey’s winning record of 44-32 and six consecutive bowl […]

The Darren McFadden Sweepstakes

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

The namesake of this feature is pretty good, no? With the help of the future high draft pick, LSU’s national championship hopes ended. McFadden looks like he may be the kind of game-changing player one of the crappy teams on this list (except the 49ers, who apparently want the Patriots to get more Lombardi trophies […]

Top Five Teams That Could Beat the Patriots

Monday, November 26th, 2007

It was a nailbiter last night, but there are five games left to go for the Patriots - and that means five more chances to ruin that perfect record. In my opinion, there are just five teams that could beat the Patriots this season - and none of them are actually in the NFL.
5. The […]

It Is My Money!

Saturday, November 24th, 2007

2-1 on Turkey Day! Not bad, except for my belief that the Jets might put up a better fight. In the interest of (my) time, I’ll keep it short and sweet.
Broncos (+1.5) over BEARS: Underachieving teams making their move!
BENGALS (+1.5) over Titans: Figuring the Bengals are due for one.
JAGUARS (-8) over Bills: David Garrard seems […]

It Is My Money! Thanksgiving Edition

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

Gobble, Gobble gamblers! Is there anything more that siginifes the giving of thanks than gambling? No?
Okay, probably not.
In any case, with three games on the docket today, I have to put in my picks or miss out the chance to lose three more times. So, without further blather, let’s get to it!
Home teams in caps, […]

Rivalry Week Swag

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

I’m not sure if you’ve heard, but it’s Rivalry Week in college football. It’s that time of the college football season when you can throw out the records. When legends are born. When memories are made. When coaches are bought out or “reassigned” for going to the Meineke Car Care Bowl every year but going 0-7 aginst […]

Did You Really Expect Any Less?

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Every MSG announcer is saying some variation on the same thing: “One of the worst nights at the Garden in years.” The Knicks, not surprisingly, lost again tonight to the Golden State Warriors. It was a dispiriting 26-point beatdown that had the fans chanting all throughout the fourth quarter, “Fire Isiah!” There was the requisite […]

OH MY GOD!!! Have you heard!?!? There’s this new TV show premiering on TBS tonight!
You probably haven’t heard about it. It’s called Frank TV.
Oh, sorry. I guess you just wanted to supress that memory of the never-ending promos during the Division Series and the NLCS.
If this incredibly awkward interview between Frank Caliendo and the folks of the […]

The Darren McFadden Sweepstakes

Tuesday, November 20th, 2007

Well, the sweepstakes is heating up. Or actually, cooling off. Some of these teams are, like, trying hard and making an effort to win. That’s because, as Herman Edwards says, “You play to win the games.” You’re not playing just to play, he further pointed out. So what the hell are these teams playing for, exactly? That’s […]
