Last week, we went over the calendar and thought about some of the complaints that top players have about the schedule. I haven’t changed my mind in the past week. Even though there is a lot that can be done by the sport to help out the players, especially the lower-ranked ones, changing up the [...]

NFL Week 3 Preview w/ The CEO
You know what fun is, winning money; you know what is even more fun though? Giving away money, which is what we have done continually over the last year since we opened up TSHQ. In fact we do it so often, and so well we should charge you, but alas, we are good people that [...]
Handicapping the NFL: Week 3
Year to Date Season ATS: 5-3-1 Season Over/Unders: 1-0 Season Parlays: 1-1 Season Units: +6.5 Week 2 Recap: That’s more like it!

NFL Week 3 Breakdowns
I remember back in April when the schedule was released (& just after I started writing here) week 3 was identified as the biggest week in terms of games being cancelled. Every team has the same bye week as this week’s opponent so that if this week was lost, it could be made up as [...]
Shanahan Makes Mark as New Disciplinarian and An UGLY Incident
It hasn’t taken long for Brendan Shanahan to make his presence felt as the NHL’s new disciplinarian, replacing the much maligned Colin Campbell.

While we are only talking about training camp and some preseason games that few will watch anyways, we are now finally seeing the effect of this long and drawn out process. Stern himself is cited [...]
CFB with the TSHQ Gamblers: The Sexy Six Week 4
What you up to, white stains? Bryan and myself, K.M., back up in your face with the resurrection. Bryan had a rough 2-4 week last week, dragging him down to 13-5 ATS, and only 10-7-1 ATS. BOO HOO BRYAN IS NOW ONLY HITTING NEARLY 59% ON HIS BETS. WHAT A TRAVESTY OF GREATNESS THAT IS. [...]
Week 2 Reactions, Recaps and Awards
Yeah I would say it is safe to say whoever wins the Super Bowl this year, won’t do so on the back of an suffocating defense. Offenses have ruled the league so far putting up astronomical numbers in both points and passing yards. Now that may change when the weather gets a little bit more [...]
TSHQ’s Own College Football Top 15 – SSR Rankings After Week 3
What’s up in the hizzy? It’s your good friend K.M., here to introduce you to Bryan and my version of the college football polls, the SSR. What does the SSR stand for? It’s the Superior System Rankings. Why is it superior? Because we are the ones who create it. Why is it a system? Because [...]
