… for a gambler, but I’m layin’ it this week! I’ll update the standings tomorrow night because Kevin Durant’s NBA debut is tipping off right now and I’d like to watch it. The write-ups will be basic tonight and some of these may move in value like last weekend and I could add [...]

The following video, to me, demonstrates that emotion that is discussed by players on why they come to play for the Longhorns.

Step Aside Stanford and Cal
There is really no way to describe this other than AWESOME!
15 Laterals in one play to win the game. The total time to run the play was 1:02. Simply, an amazing play that will surely win an ESPY or two and knock the Stanford vs. Cal game from the [...]

Rebounding Nicely…
First off, in this wild and crazy season of college football, how foolish was I to assume that a team on the road down by ten points against a top ten opponent with four minutes to go in the game was finished? Well, sorry BC fans, I gave up on your team and published [...]

Be Careful What You Wish For…
LSU and Oklahoma, or you to could be the #2 ranked team in the land. At the time of this post, the current #2 team in the land, Boston College, is down 10-0 against Virginia Tech with about 4 minutes to go in the 4th quarter. If Virginia Tech holds on and wins [...]

Tarnishing your legend…
He is one of the greatest running backs in the history of the NFL. He has three Super Bowl rings, a Super Bowl MVP, an NFL MVP, is an eight time Pro Bowler, yet Emmitt Smith might be the worst TV analyst ever. Watching him these last several weeks has been painful to [...]

I don’t understand Brad Childress and other thoughts…
* 96 carries, 603 yards, 6.3 yards per carry; 11 receptions, 187 yards
Those were the numbers coming into the Vikings game versus the Dallas Cowboys for Adrian Peterson.
12 carries, 63 yards, 5.3 yards per carry, 1 reception, 12 yards
That was the production that Brad Childress decided to get out of arguably the top [...]

This has never been my cup of tea, but I’ll give it a shot because it couldn’t get much worse than yesterday. Anyway, here are a few picks, but there won’t be any write-ups because of time constraints.
Again, all lines come from TheGreek.com
All Three Stars
Tampa Bay @ Detroit -2
Bears @ Eagles -4.5
Patriots -15 @ [...]

Ramen Noodles & Bologna Sandwiches
That is certainly what I would be eating for the next month had I placed these bets. Crap.
The funny thing is outside of the Nebraska selection I don’t even feel like they were bad picks, so I’m not that down on myself. As I write, LSU and Auburn are about to go to the 4th [...]
