Week Five College Football Picks

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

Record after week 4: 48-13 (29-30-2 ATS) 12 pm ET (2) Ohio State (4-0) at Illinois (2-1) (+17) I have no idea why I'm picking this game. Illinois is going to get destroyed, and it will be incredibly uninteresting. Sorry, Illini fans, but the UI football team sucks. They're going to produce a ...

The Pittsburgh Pirates Lock Up No. 1 Pick In 2011 MLB Draft

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

Start celebrating Pirates fans. Pop the champagne, spray each other down, get crazy, your team has just locked up the No. 1 pick in the 2011 MLB Draft. On second though, scoring the worst record in baseball is a tad different than clinching a playoff spot, and given how cheap ...

Carlos Marmol: Nastiest Pitcher In Baseball History

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

There's filthy, and then there's filthy. A 48-year old chain-smoking, Atlantic City cocktail waitress toting a purse filled with Valtrex is filthy. The mess two honeymooners leave between the bed sheets qualifies as filthy, as well. But ladies and gentlemen, let me bring to your attention a whole other type of filth. That ...

Sasha Vujacic May Get To Relax A Lot This Season

Wednesday, September 29th, 2010

Sasha Vujacic might want to have his girlfriend, Maria Sharapova, put her "friends and family" tickets up on StubHub or something, because the 26-year-old guard might not be playing much this season for the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite making two insanely clutch free throws that endeared him forever to Lakers fans ...

Ten Ideas Worse Than A J.J. Redick Rap Album

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

With the news hitting the internet that J.J. Redick would be releasing a rap album, I frankly couldn't think of a worse idea initially. The most hated white player in NCAA basketball history venturing into the rap game? Really? Whose idea was this? I really want to know. Has to ...

God Bless David Price

Tuesday, September 28th, 2010

It seems that athletes can no longer speak the truth without a ton of people getting their panties in a bunch, which makes every one that does a refreshing dose. And right now none are more refreshing than David Price, who called out the pathetic fanbase of the Tampa Bay Rays ...

Style Points Are Ruining America

Monday, September 27th, 2010

All the talk this season related to the BCS is whether or not Boise State is going to make the national championship game. Everyone seems to agree that simply going undefeated isn't enough anymore (even though BYU won a national title by winning 24 straight games) because the Broncos simply ...

I Quit

Monday, September 27th, 2010

This week, the truth finally dawned upon me: fantasy football is horseshit, and I will never play it again after this season. I should have realized this in 2005, when a girl who knew nothing about football other than she liked Tiki Barber won our league title. And I'm not saying ...

Marcus McNeill Could Be Getting That Long-Term Deal After All

Monday, September 27th, 2010

San Diego Chargers left tackle Marcus McNeill finally signed his one-year restricted tender Saturday, clearing the way for him to return to the team. He will have to sit out three weeks because of his holdout, since the team was forced to put him on the roster exempt list, but ...

Your Week Four College Football Scores

Saturday, September 25th, 2010

Read my week four picks here. Record after week three: 36-10 (22-22-2 ATS) Can't believe there aren't more good noon games today. I'm sleeping in. Yeah, who am I kidding? I have an eight-month-old son. I'll be up at 7 am and probably live blogging Gameday or something equally awesome. 7:26 am ET ...
