Posted by: | Comments
Instead of watching a couple mediocre college football teams battle for the rights to the Idaho Potato Bowl Championship this weekend we should have enjoyed the first round of the College Football Playoffs. Those who are against a playoff system are simply against the concept and don’t think about the entertaining mathcups the system would [...]

Our Sunday Night double dip capped off another winning weekend (40-29 on the season, 58%) and the Giants now look to be back on track. But I’ve thought that before, only to be fooled. Is there any better team in a big game against a team with a winning record though? even when they don’t win, [...]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and there’s nothing better than cashing in on mediocrity, which is the basis for the college Bowl Season.

This is a little something I like to do every year when College Football’s regular season comes to a heart-breaking end.

We’re deep enough into the NFL season to actually know what teams are made of. Everybody has played a number of quality opponents and nobody has proven to be susceptible in some way, shape or form. It’s almost comical to take a look back at some of the “experts” Top Ten lists throughout the season, [...]

I hope everybody had a better Turkey Day than the Lions, who went down the toilet right after Ndamukong Suh decided to become a WWF bad guy. The Ravens took care of business in the Har-Brawl but we finished 1-2 overall. I took Houston earlier today in what seemed like a trap game but they [...]

After a weekend that included two sister-kissing pushes, we’ll start the rebound with a Thanksgiving Treat. Riding a 5-1 Turkey Day record into the 2011 Holiday Season, and considering every year some type of trend seems to take place -whether it’s all dogs covering, all road teams winning or something of that nature- we’re going [...]
