Ernesto the Prediction Iguana has been on a cold streak the last three weeks. With a 1-2 in teasers, 4-2 week overall, the season record stands at a pedestrian 11-13-2 in teasers, despite a good 37-13-2 record in picks overall. Let’s turn it around with a great December. REDSKINS-Jets UNDER 45 STEELERS-Bengals UNDER 48 The under is still outperforming the over...
Steve Czaban is a flat-out Thanksgiving Day hero. Get this – the Voice of the Great American Sportsman – decided he wanted to build a backyard football field. So he did it in the most obsessive-compulsive way possible! We’re talking golf tees and kite string. We’re talking mowing patterns! We’re talking 24 cans of spray paint. He truly...
If it’s the day after Thanksgiving, then it must be time for our annual Jazzy Awards to start the holiday season! As usual, we kick off with the Turkey of the Year, where we celebrate the ludicrous, lunatic lunkheads and lugnuts that have ruined the sports year. As always, we do this feature in conjunction with our buddy and colleague Tony Korologos of Hooked...
We went 2-1 in teasers (5-1 overall) last week to make up for a dismal 1-2 the week before (3-3 overall). We won with the Ravens, Cowboys, Seahawks, and the under in the Seahawks-RAMS and Jets-BRONCOS. Only the Jets worked against a perfect record. That keeps us at .500 on the year – 10-10-2 in teasers and a nifty 32-10-2 on the year. For those of you who, like...
The Other St. George’s (Long Island) …In the name of God, St. Michael, and St. George, I give you the right to bear arms and the power to dispense justice. Rise, King Arthur… —The words spoken by Sir Uriens of Gore as he used Excalibur to knight Arthur Pendragon and install him as King— STONY BROOK, NY – Never have I been so...
This is his wrap-up of our weekend at the Grand Re-opening.
Good stuff, Tony! Here’s the link to my review.
Like Samwise Gamgee of Lord of the Rings fame, Fred Couples’s legs are too short, so he should use his head. Then again, that’s not his best part either… Couples appears to have hatchet-jobbed the 1st round pairings for the President’s Cup – creating milquetoast “strong-weak” pairings that seemed destined for bad chemistry...
I’ve never seen a course where pretty much every opinion pretty much agreed with every other opinion! What everybody said turned out to be right. There’s a goodly amount of Emmet left there – especially in the green surrounds. There’s a smattering of really fun holes: 6-9 for example, and 11. They had good green contours, (They were doing some...
So a quick reset for the week: Tony Korologos of the Golf Space is in town, so he, his lovely wife Ali, my cast off-beat friends and yours truly will be taking Manhattan by storm for the next few days. I’ll be playing some more Devereux Emmet golf this weekend, this time a Cherry Valley on Long Island. The course has a little Walter Travis and a little Robert...
We had a great showing last week 2-1-1 in teasers and 6-1-1 overall. That brings the season totals to 6-6-2 (we don’t lose ties) and a respectable 18-6-2 overall. Lets bust a move this week! BEST BETS! Ravens -1 at SEAHAWKS BROWNS – Rams UNDER 44 Say it with me – “The Ravens are an ATM machine…the Ravens are an ATM machine…”...
Though Rio 2016 and the International Golf Federation were expected today to possibly announce the finalists for the name of the architect selected to design the golf course for the 2016 Olympics, sources say that all 29 bids were preliminarily rejected and no announcement is forthcoming. Some of the biggest names in either golf or golf design, including Robert Trent...
MONROE TOWNSHIP, NJ – Annika Sorenstam has still got the magic, as hundreds of delighted fans got to see first-hand when she and PGA Tour star Brad Faxon visited Forsgate Country Club to host the club’s annual Charity Classic last month. Everyone came away deeply impressed by Annika the person as well as Annika the professional golfer on every level. She...
CLIFTON, NJ – For a club that’s 110 years old Upper Montclair still has the vitality of a twenty-something. They’re the only club in America to host professional events from all three U.S. tours, (PGA, LPGA, Seniors). They have 27 holes of Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf over a routing laid out mostly by A.W. Tillinghast. They just finished a $6.2...
After a 1-2 week (thanks Giants and Saints) I’m 4-5 in picks – first time I’ve been under .500 in two years, but 12-5-1 overall. We’ll fix that this week. FAVES WITH POINTS! 49ers +3 at REDSKINS Packers +1 at CHARGERS How about we OCCUPY Dan Snyder until the ‘skins get real ownership. Darth Vader meets Mini-me is no owner at all. Norv...
While we finish up our Annika/Forsgate/Brad Faxon Charity Classic piece, here’s Sherry St. John’s latest video.
Action!
