Week 9 College/NFL Picks: TJ’s Turn to Tussle
I’m proud of myself. Pats self on back. Last week, I took my time to delve through a limited slate of games. I found wagers I liked, placed them and struck gold. It was my third most accurate, and profitable, Continue reading Week 9 College/NFL Picks: TJ’s Turn to Tussle →
Week 8 College/NFL Picks: The Wife and the Hook
Let’s discuss “the hook” for a moment, shall we? It’s generally annoying to hear an amateur gambler use this expression, offering up verbiage like “seven-and-the-hook” or “I lost by the hook,” so what does it mean when they say that?

Lose, Rinse and Repeat: Entitled Gator Football Program Set to Stuck on Suck
My entire batch of college buddies are wholeheartedly, unabashedly and unashamedly delirious, and not solely because of all the partying we engaged in during our undergrad years and beyond. No, my fellow fan base, without a single exception other than Continue reading Lose, Rinse and Repeat: Entitled Gator Football Program Set to Stuck on Suck →
Week Seven College NFL Picks: Long Lost Lisa Lays the Lumber
I’ve had a few requests for updated standings so here we go. So far, our celebrity guests are holding their own, while Kevin is scrounging up spare change to pay off his bookies before they send Moose and Rocco. This Continue reading Week Seven College NFL Picks: Long Lost Lisa Lays the Lumber →
MVP Candidate Baker Mayfield Still Putting People in Their Place
“Every time he goes to a different team, it seems like he learns more about the league and more about himself” – Nate Burleson on Baker Mayfield When I think about Baker Mayfield, I inevitably think of Colin Cowherd.

Unadulterated Signs of Impending Authoritarianism, or A Day at the Movies
Many moons ago, I lived overseas underneath a military dictatorship. Rights were repressed and freedom of speech was halted. The media was controlled and many of the nation’s people lived in fear, remembering all too keenly the coup that had Continue reading Unadulterated Signs of Impending Authoritarianism, or A Day at the Movies →
Week Six College/NFL Picks: Coach’s Calls to Keep Collaborators Cookin’
Elimination, surprises and home teams gone bad. Last week, I bragged (bad idea) about how I was still alive in all four of my eliminator pools. Then came Week Five and a clean sweep in memoriam. Cue the Sarah McLaughlin Continue reading Week Six College/NFL Picks: Coach’s Calls to Keep Collaborators Cookin’ →
Week Five College/NFL Picks: BCole Looks to Avoid Balboa-like Beatdown
I know you have all seen Rocky IV. It’s one of the finest films ever made, a cinematic masterpiece if you will, so why wouldn’t you have? Last week’s picks reminded me a lot of Rocky IV. Less than one Continue reading Week Five College/NFL Picks: BCole Looks to Avoid Balboa-like Beatdown →

Week Four College/NFL Picks: DRealEmcee Joins an Increasingly Rude List of Houseguests
Have you ever hosted a house-warming party where the guests turn foul? I mean, they’re invited. Shit, you invited them.

Week Three College/NFL Picks: Milhouse’s Extremely Level Playing Field
Perfection. When we think of perfection, we think of things like the Sistine Chapel, the first two Godfather movies, Nolan Ryan’s fastball or the first 37 fights of Mike Tyson’s career. We fruitlessly chase perfection, hoping just to be good Continue reading Week Three College/NFL Picks: Milhouse’s Extremely Level Playing Field →
If you think things are bad now, Gator Football fans, wait until Jon Gruden becomes your next head coach.
My, how times have changed. It didn’t take all that long either. We fickle football fans change our minds on a whim, especially when given enough reasons. And by reasons, I specifically mean… losses. Only last year, I wrote about Continue reading If you think things are bad now, Gator Football fans, wait until Jon Gruden becomes your next head coach. →
Week Two College/NFL picks: Digging out of the hole with J-Dub
I turned on my stove the other day. It didn’t heat up. I clicked on the ignition to my Hyundai. It didn’t start. I tried to log on to my website to complain to you about all of this. My Continue reading Week Two College/NFL picks: Digging out of the hole with J-Dub →
