Last week’s 2-1 in teasers and 4-1-1 overall was a good start to the year. I even managed a draw with the Rams and keep the streak of never losing a bet when I get 20 points alive. The Steelers should have blown out Jacksonville and, instead, were victims of an easy cover, giving the Jags 19.5. And as usual, the Pats were an ATM for me. This week’s picks:...
So I’m coming off one of my three best years ever. The other two were when I – due to my QB getting hurt for the season!! – drafted Kurt Warner in Fantasy League in 1999 (Cha-ching!!), then in 2004 when I got in a league with all Lions fans!! Ha-ha wasn’t that fun! I had Steelers galore and they won the Super Bowl to boot! We do teasers here...
Well now we have a new spin on an old joke: I went to a fight and a Georgetown basketball game broke out. I have a grillion thoughts about this, but want to wait to weigh in until I get a chance to think about them in an orderly fashion. So sit tight, your best man is on it:) This much I will say – the dude who is seen here appearing to stomp on a Georgetown...
As someone who was in the Congressional hearing room where Roger Clemens – in my opinion – clearly and convincingly perjured himself, I can also state with certainty that, with the make-up of the jury pool in his perjury case that resulted in a mis-trial last week, that was a great result for the prosecution. Looking at some of the lugnuts that got that...
As expected, Barry Bonds’s trainer, Greg Anderson, refused to testify against his client and was remanded into the custody of corrections official. It’s the fifth time he’ll serve some sort of jail term for Bonds. It brings to mind that old conversation between Jackie Brown and Odelle Robbie… “If I have to do any time for you up to a...
The bang of the judge’s gavel in Barry Bonds’s steroids/PED/perjury will hopefully be the first carronade salvo against steroid/PED cheats in sports. Roger Clemens, stand up and take notice: that is if you can somehow overcome the psychological damage the drugs did to your brain. Meanwhile Timid Tim Finchem, the incredible shrinking PGA Tour Commissioner...
HARTFORD, CT – Continuing the longest winning streak in intercollegiate athletics, tiny but plucky Trinity College won its 13th consecutive National Championship in NCAA squash (called the “CSA” – Collegiate Squash Associationand its 244th straight match overall. Trinity squash has not lost since 1998. The school of only 2,200 defeated Yale in...
…and the NY press and Rex Ryan can have a nice bid cup of shut the hell up.
Back to golf tomorrow. I want to photograph a black and gold Empire State Building.
After a perfect 4-0, 2-0 in teasers record, the season stats are a beautiful 43-17 overall, and 19-11 in teasers. We’re having issues with our server at the moment, so forgive the brief piece, but here are this week’s NFL picks: GREEN LIGHT! PATRIOTS +1 vs. Dolphins Panthers +20 at Falcons OVER/UNDER SPECIAL! Bills at JETS OVER 31.5 Buccaneers at SAINTS...

Another 3-1 week and 1-1 in teasers brings the season totals on my NFL picks to 39-17 and 17-11 in teasers. GREEN LIGHT! Jets at BEARS OVER 28.5 – Remember last week when 30 was the lowest number and we won with the over? We get a free 1.5 this week. Book it. Ravens +3 at BROWNS. Who owns who in this series? Ravens getting points…I ask you… AMBER...
After a 3-1 week, (1-1 in teasers) the season tally stands at 36-16 and 16-10 in teasers. From the “I’m stupid for picking that game” department, my only loss was the QB-less Chiefs who played more like Chefs against the Fighting Norvs. My bad…and it cost me a $30 lunch against Gary Schulz, who still owes me from the week before...
Interesting analysis this week in our picks. There were ten games – all based on point spread, not over-under – that all attracted me…but each one I was looking at the road team. And that set my Spider-sense tingling. Did you know that from 1983-2008 home favorites only won at a 47.56% clip? Visiting underdogs win at a 49.75%. 2.70% of the time, the...
After another 5-1 week, 2-1 in teasers, the season totals rise to 38-16 overall, 17-10 in teasers.
Bet with Jay’s head, not over yours…:)
Well we went 2-0 last week, 1-0 in teasers bringing the season totals to 33-15 overall and 15-9 in teasers. We hit last week with the Steelers and the Patriots. This week’s picks: GREEN LIGHT! GIANTS -1 over Redskins Bears at LIONS OVER 37 We reserve the right, after the rest of the lines come out, to add one more pick…perhaps we’ll weigh in on...
