Well, all this CBA crap has me in a bad mood. I should be watching preseason games right now. Yes, I watch preseason games. Sad, I know. Anyways, I have already laid out my feeling about this whole mess that is the NBA a couple of weeks ago. Today, I want to offer a blueprint [...]

Random Thoughts From The College Football Weekend
Random thoughts. They might be right, they might be wrong, but at least they’re mine. USC vs. Notre Dame: This game showed us a few things about both teams: We learned that while Notre Dame is on the right track, they are not as close to BCS level as many in the media would like [...]
NFL Week 7 Breakdown
Last week when Arizona was on a bye, Seth mentioned it was nice to be able to go into a week not worrying about his team losing. The other positive that comes from your team not playing is you don’t get too invested in one game from the week and get to enjoy the lineup [...]
BCS Implications: Week 8
It took us 8 weeks but we finally have a shake-up at the top of the polls. What was a pretty pedestrian Saturday (in terms of upsets, at least) absolutely blew up with the last two major games to go final. Michigan State upset Wisconsin on a hail mary and Texas Tech absolutely stunned the [...]
Complaints About the US Open
Before we begin any type of honest discussion about any tournament really, we need to admit an honest truth to ourselves: tennis fans love to complain. Whether it’s about alleged doping, draw-rigging, match-fixing scandals, organization of tournaments, or even just a player we don’t like winning, tennis fans love to complain. It’s almost become part [...]

Season ATS: 14-10-1 Season Over/Unders: 1-3 Season Parlays: 1-3 Season Teasers: 0-5 Season Units: -18.5 units Week 6 Recap: I honestly don’t know what to say. In week 5 it was the Giants bitching out and somehow losing to the Seabags. Last week it was a plethora of inexplicable happenings. The Steelers were up 17-0 [...]
Week 7 NFL Preview and Picks: W/ the Mrs.
Week 7 NFL Preview I’ve been having so much fun developing my draft board, watching as many YouTube videos I can find on guys creeping into round 1, Robert Griffin III, and some falling out of it, Vontaze Burfict, that I have started to hit a lull of sorts in my picks, but honestly I [...]
NFL Week 7 Preview
If you watch enough sport, you will start to see strange parallels between different games no matter what type of sport you’re watching. Last night in the Rugby World Cup Third Place Playoff between Australia and Wales, the Australian flyhalf Quade Cooper went to make a step off his right foot and his knee gave [...]
TSHQ’s Gamblers CFB Sexy Six Week 8
You didn’t expect me to stay down forever did you? You must not pay attention to how this goes. I win, and I win consistently. Las Vegas has nothing on me. I should be funding my college education off of this. Week 7 saw a decent slate that produced a 5-1 SU, 4-2 ATS week [...]
