Special to JayFlemma.com, AWITP, and the Golf News Net by Yaj Ammelf MARCY, NY – As the sun sets behind the bucolic hills of an upstate New York valley, a threesome makes its way up the first fairway of Crestwood Golf Club in Marcy, New York. They teed off on the second hole and are playing to the ninth green. “This is wicked fun!” marveled golfer...
See that picture? That’s what the Buccaneers and the Raiders did to Ernesto’s house this weekend. When’s the last time those two sad sacks beat playoff caliber teams in the same week? At a paltry 3-3, that’s Ernesto’s worst week in four years! It drops the season totals to a mezza-mezza 22-9. He’s benched for the next three weeks...
Peter Rohert Casey joins us on Jay’s Plays to preview the NBA season, close out the PGA Tour season, and tell us his favorite venues to watch sports. Plus he’s been to all 30 NBA arenas in 30 days with his magical SPORTS PASSPORT website and app.
It’s funnier than a failed Indianapolis Colts trick-er-ation!
Another 5-1 week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana – his third consecutive 5-1 week, which brings the season totals to 19-6. That’s a better than 75% record. (Once again, it was a darned Rams who tripped him up for the only loss of the week.) Here’s this week’s winners before they happen. OVER EASY! PATRIOTS-dolphins OVER 45 The Patriots look...
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. – It was late September in the Southern Tier region of New York, but for once the leaves had only just begun to change. Usually the vale of the Susquehanna River valley is aflame with color by this time, a rainbow of autumnal delight for the so-called “Leaf Peepers” who travel from as far as 16 hours away to see the dazzling...
The PGA Tour, Chambers Bay’s future U.S. Open chances, Tiger Woods’s injury, and a preview of the Western Conference of the NHL – all on the Jay’s Plays radio show on the Golf News Net – with special guest stars Jeff Brauer and Robert Trent Jones, Jr. Spoilers: Chambers Bay WILL get another U.S. Open in the next 10-12 years...
5-1 last week for our intrepid hero, Ernesto the Prediction Iguana. He hit the Broncos, the Bengals, and 3 over/unders, for a cumulative season total of 14-5. The lone blemish was the Redskins, who packed it in a halftime against the Jets. This week the best sports betting member of the animal kingdom is going with six game picks – no over/unders. (Although...
My latest travels took me back to the Southern Tier –Conklin and En-joie. The article is here at Golf News Net. As the Nutri-matic Drink Synthesizer used to say, “Share and Enjoy.”
A 4-2 showing on a particularly tough slate of games last week for Ernesto the Prediction Iguana puts him at 9-4 to start the season. Pretty good, but we’re aiming to get better still. While – of course – we correctly picked the Cheatriots, their defense refused to let in a oh-by-the-way touchdown at the end to hit on the over. The Browns win over...
Ernesto the Prediction Iguana went 5-2 last week, a good start to the season. (Still angry the Cardinals laid an egg at home against the vulnerable Rams. Gotta win those games if you want a first-round bye in the playoffs.) It’s especially good out of the gate as teams still have not identified themselves enough to our liking. There’s so much mediocrity...
The move deeper into the 21st century continues – it’s JayFlemma.com! “Simple, beautiful, classic,” said Ian Faith, as he looked into the jet black album cover for Smell the Glove. He’d say the same about this. Bookmark it – this is our new home for compiling everything from Golf News Network, Facewash Magazine, and the...
I’m sorry to be mercenary about it, but both the LPGA and the Solheim Cup got exactly what they needed this weekend: controversy. Before this weekend, the Solheim Cup was a niche thing recognized for what it was – a cutesy weekend of girls having fun rather than a true rejoinder to the Ryder Cup. Fans just really didn’t care that deeply if their...

Keeping with the trend of hosting the PGA Championship in a year ending in “3”, Rochester’s Oak Hill (East Course) will host the 2023 PGA Championship. It will be the fourth time the club will host the PGA, to go along with three U.S. Opens and two U.S. Amateurs. Oak Hill, regarded as one of the most difficult major championship venues, was torched...
The mailbag has been full for the better part of four months, so I figure I better keep my promise to all of you and reply in print to some of the best questions. Here’s a letter from reader Alan in New Jersey: “Dear Jay: I want to visit or vacation in all 50 states, but I’m married. That means I have to save the vacation states like California...
