Let’s Talk Boobs, Football & Gambling

Which do you, prefer Real or fake? Ken, Hooters

Real, and it’s not even close. I just think fake anything probably means there’s some self esteem issue in your past, which will eventually rear its ugly head. It’s one thing if you’re 40 and have several kids. Women than often need a lift job, I get it. But if some already cute 23 year old gets a boob job, she’s probably insecure.

If the NFL is Home Depot, NBA is Lowes and MLB is True value, what is the UFC? Jason, couchpotato.com

UFC is probably a chain of really cool tattoo shops. They are rapidly building shops nationwide. The projections for the next several years are double figures growth. And Spike TV just signed the owner of the shops to a reality show and video game deal.

Colin, do you still bet games? Is there really such thing as a “professional gambler?” Robert, Ohio

YES. YES. There are hundreds of professional gamblers, from poker to sports. Our boys Al McMordie and Jeff Keim on tour free picks page are professionals. Damn good professionals too. I knew a sharp gentleman in Vegas in his late 40’s or early 50’s, who bet only NBA games. He made a very respectable living. Bet the sports that are slightly under the radar, like college baseketball. It’s impossible for Vegas to watch every game. Pick a conference and OWN IT. We’re going to start giving you a lot more info this football season, because I hate to see the everyday guy building casinos in Vegas and houses for guys named Guido in Long Island. We’re going to rough your bookie up this fall, trust me.

Do you think there will be another Joe Paterno in college football? Nuriddin, College Station

NO! The pressure is too enormous at the top schools. Paterno has built a wall around the program, so he basically does only what he wants to in terms of alumni and boosters. But to earn the top dollars, you have to kiss lots of butt and lots of babies. And that burns out guys pretty rapidly.
