I look at all of these “power rankings” in the NFL (thank goodness there’s a playoff, right?), and I scoff. These are people whose opinions I trust, but when it comes to them trying to rank teams, I just wonder if that’s something they are just unable to do. Or maybe I’m just cynical by...
I think I’m late to this party, but I just stumbled across this today. You ever thought “why doesn’t R. Kelly write a sex song that connects with a hockey player?” No? Me neither. But he did it anyway. hockey song by random_sports (sigh) Give me a cigarette. Here’s the entire piece from RollingStone.com. [Photo...
Five years ago, it was bad news at IU.
I cannot believe it’s already been five years since Kelvin Sampson put my favorite college basketball program in a really bad spot. The Sampson “show cause” has expired. Schools no longer have to tell the NCAA why they should be able to hire someone pegged by the NCAA as a cheater without penalty themselves. Sampson...
Romo, Cold Weather Super Bowls, and the best photo of the year...
Yes, I will grant you, this is pretty heavy on the Patriots-Broncos game. Rightfully so, in my opinion. Let’s get started. (First: Rams fans, I gave you all a quick six-minute podcast on the win over the Bears) 1. You’ll have to excuse me if I’m not quite in love with the Carolina Panthers like...
You're welcome...
What does it feel like to go undefeated over the course of a weekend in the handicapping department? Well here were my picks from the weekend. Let’s review: Saturday New Mexico/Fresno State OVER 68.5 (WIN) Arizona State -3 (WIN) San Diego State +6.5 (WIN) Wake Forest +7 (PUSH) Sunday Patriots PICK (WIN) This Week College:...
Belichick with a huge middle finger to Manning on Sunday Night.
Let’s jump right in. No. 1: Can everyone please stop telling me about how Peyton Manning lost the game because of the wind or the cold weather? His stats, obviously, aren’t the best thing to ever happen to him. 19-for-36 for 150 yards isn’t good by any means. Consider: I know it’s not easy to...
When someone leaves your team, why does it have to be on the team's accord for fans to accept it?
One of the things I will never understand about us as fans: if the star parts ways with our team, we will only celebrate that star if he left on our terms. But if, God forbid, the star wants to leave on his terms, then we’re just not going to like him for the foreseeable future....
I know... you hate the Patriots...
In a league that does all it can to make sure that every team ends up 8-8 every season, I’m a big bettor on teams that had a crushing loss the week prior. Enter the New England Patriots. They were hosed last week on Monday Night Football against the Carolina Panthers. I’m always going to...
Get out the Bradford homers and haters for this one... Rams beat the Bears 42-21.
I have a theory as to why the St. Louis Rams are, all of the sudden, God’s gift to running the football. I don’t know if it’s right or not, but I’ll present it anyway.
Feeling good...
For some of these games, I took what I felt is extra value on some of these lines that is there based on an out-of-character game in the week(s) prior. Here is how I did last week. Good luck.
