I've never checked whether the Woj account I was looking at was the real one, more than I did yesterday. What a whirlwind? In a move that surprised no one, the Cleveland Cavaliers overhauled their entire roster in what appears a last ditch effort to remain relevant in the Eastern Conference and make a run...

I shared a story last week of my greatest gambling win of all time but how since that year, I've been under .500 on NFL Playoff Picks. It's been almost 20 years. This year? You guessed it. I'm 5-5 going into the Super Bowl. Last week: 0-2 So this one for all intents and purposes... Continue Reading →
Last Week: 3-1 Overall: 5-3 Quick sidebar. In 2000, I was a sophomore in college and may or may not have had a couple of online sports betting accounts. That year, I went 11-0 in the Playoffs and turned a $100 playoff parlay bet into almost $15,000. For the upstanding citizens of our society who... Continue Reading →
Couple of thoughts: Oh my goodness, the Astros are going to have four 20 game winners. Oh my goodness, the Astros are going to win the World Series again. Oh my goodness, Jeff Luhnow is a Jedi and can mind trick people into trading him players for actual peanuts. Ok, couple of real thoughts: Everyone... Continue Reading →
In 2004, a show called "Dream Job" premiered on ESPN. The premise was simple (and some might say, ahead of its time). Eleven contestants, selected in a nationwide search, competed to land a job as an ESPN anchor.

I went 2-2 last week. Not bad for me considering I am still way behind on the NFL. Like, did y'all know Case Keenum is a legitimate MVP contender? Case Keenum. Happy for him, but wow. Couple of takeaways from Round 1: I picked the Chiefs straight up last week because "they had the more... Continue Reading →
This isn't going to be a popular opinion. Alabama is great. Disclaimer: When I say "(not a) popular opinion," I don't mean that my opinion is unpopular because people don't agree with it but rather because it simply won't be common opinion you hear today. The popular opinions you will most likely hear in response... Continue Reading →
Wait, it's the playoffs already? Believe, me when I say that I'm not trying to be funny or heap on to the already large pile of grief that the NFL has received for not being as compelling as in previous years. I'm being serious. I haven't paid attention to the NFL since Week 8. Now... Continue Reading →
The 2017-2018 NBA Season has been excellent. Granted, I only really started paying attention to the NBA some time after Christmas which in retrospect, may have been a good idea for the following reasons: I was spared from watching teams start the season sloppy and out of shape due to the early start. I was... Continue Reading →
On November 1st, 2017, the Astros won the World Series and ended the third longest drought (55 years without a championship) in MLB history. In doing so, the Astros (and Dodgers for that matter) dazzled fans not only with their unbridled youthful exuberance but with a relatively new wrinkle in the sport of baseball. Offense....
