Thursday, December 27th, 2007

Not to jump in late in the game or anything, but it’s high time I voice my opinion on some key football games this week.  I don’t know the odds, but I do know my gut.  Football fans:  Meet my gut.

It Is My Money! Stop Snitching Edition

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

9-6 and 2-1 in the overall picks and Best Bets, respectively.

OMG WTF LOL BCS

Monday, December 3rd, 2007

Well, it’s that time of the year again. It’s the time when we all bitch and moan about how the BCS doesn’t work, how we need a college football playoff system, and how none of us are willing to do anything about it. So, instead, we end up with a bunch of crappy bowl games […]
