NFL Week 3

Evil’s Week 3 Preview

Picked another 12 games last week. I had one perfect game, I called the score exactly in the Panthers Buffalo game. Sadly, I’m a Panthers fan. Amazingly I got the bets both right in Kansas City. After remarking how Kansas City seems to be playing better, my Queen informed me that they have a new coach: Andy Reid. Well duh I guess. One day I’ll have time to watch news, when that happens I’ll take up watching college football.

I picked little brother to take his Giants over Denver. The computer doesn’t understand how it is to be the oldest brother. I do. I think that Peyton should have tousled Eli’s hair at the end of the game and said, “Better luck next time.”

This week, there’s one good bet. Cringe if you lay money down on this. Continue reading →

Spring’s Week 2 Results & Next Picks

Sep17

2013-14 Season Week 2 Results

Well I had a much better week in week 2! I went from a 32% win ratio in week 1 to 69%. Yeah!!

So I lost 5 of the weeks 16 games. Carolina didn’t win my wild card pick, but come on, that was a long shot to begin with. So I’m not feeling too bad about that.

I am thrilled with Seattle’s performance over San Francisco though. Which brings up the weather. Wow!

The dangerous lightning in Tampa Bay was matched by the dangerous lightning in Seattle. Not to mention the rain delay and rain interruption in Chicago for the Nascar race. It sure made Sunday a very long day! Continue reading →

NFL Week 2

Evil’s Week 2 Picks

I picked 12 of the games last week, 75% is not bad. So I guess I shouldn’t complain. Oh but I am going to complain. Let’s start with Baltimore. Yeah I picked Denver to beat them. But I picked them to cover the 7.5 point spread, unfortunately it appears that their D never made it back from the Superbowl.

Up until the Miami game, I was at 100%. Of course it’s Miami and Cleveland, hard to tell which loser will lose the most. I guess it was Cleveland’s turn.

Despite the good numbers on raw picks, I managed to start the year down 10% on gambling, not that I would have put real money on any of the bets last week. Continue reading →

Spring’s 2013-14 Season Week 2 Picks

Sep12

2013-14 Season Week 1 Results

Well I said my first week picks were never very good and Week 1 proved that to be true. So let me say I don’t mind losing the pick for the Titans since they’re my 2nd favorite team. I was born in Tennessee so it’s awesome when they win. But I was raised outside of DC and I was disappointed my Skins lost. Course they were playing against our little Prince’s favorite team so it wasn’t a total loss. Yeah Eagles.

So here’s my results from the first week of NFL Football. Continue reading →

2013-14 Season Week 1

Meh. Sadly all the team fanboys are all still broke from 2008 so there are no good bets to take, nothing but safe sane money in Vegas. There appears to be one scheduled ass whoopin by Indy over Oakland.

My computer is predicting one we’ll be watching, Pittsburgh over Tennessee by 8 points. Hope I’m wrong there.

My take: Continue reading →

It’s Time For Football!!

Spring’s Week1 Picks

Well it’s that time of year again. Yeah! Seems like it’s been a very short summer. Probably because around here, it’s either been raining or too cold to get into the lake, it seems like we barely got summer at all. Even today we had weather from “The Day After”. I’m not sure how it can be Sept. 4th, with a high of 83, lo of 59, yet it’s 38 in our neighboring town of Milford. I think the Weather Bug flew into a refrigerated or something.

But that doesn’t have much to do with Football season does it?! I’ve never been good at picking the first games of the season. My picks for Week1 are based on nothing but my gut instinct and how I perceive finished last year. So if you’re using my picks for your football pool (as some have told me they do), I’ve warned you first. 😉 Continue reading →

Tony Stewart & Joey Logano Feud

3-Time Sprint Cup Champion

It’s Fontana Baby – Part II – Transcribed

Fontana California – March 24, 2013 Sprint Cup Auto Club 400

Anyone who thought the Gen6 cars were boring, didn’t watch the Nascar race at Fontana. The entire day was entertaining, with battles up front and back in the pack. But nothing like the final 10 laps.

After a late race caution, the last restart began with 11 laps to go. Kyle Busch was leading, Joey was 2nd followed by Tony, Kurt Busch, Brad Keselowski, Kevin Harvick, Greg Biffle, Carl Edwards and Matt Kenseth was 10th. The green flag flew and Joey didn’t get a very good restart. Tony was up on his bumper right away dropping to the inside line to make the pass. Continue reading →

It’s Fontana Baby!!

Fontana California – March 24, 2013 Sprint Cup Auto Club 400

First everyone in our house hopes Denny Hamlin is ok. As of this post he has been transported to the local area hospital near Fontana California. Kyle Busch said he heard it was a back injury, but no official news has been released.

Update: 03/25 Nascar Tweeted this today:
@dennyhamlin suffered L1 compression fracture in Sunday’s wreck. More information -> http://bit.ly/11EpfLG #NASCAR

More information can be found at NIH.gov: Compression Fractures Of The Back.

The race promised to be thrilling from the get go. The battle all week between Denny and Joey built the tension even before the cars hit the track.

Their battle started after the Daytona 500 Twitter Feud, when Denny tweeted a snide comment to Brad Keselowski about Joey’s racing. Which carried over to last week’s race in Bristol and the Twitter Feud Part II (by Nate Ryan USAToday). Continue reading →

Danica Patrick and Boss Tony Stewart
Celebrating Her 1st Historical Sprint Cup Pole Win

Another Glass Ceiling Broken

We want to recognize a day in history and the power of female energy by saying Congratulations to Danica Patrick for becoming the first woman to secure a pole position in the Nascar Sprint Cup Series and the Daytona 500!

Another glass ceiling has been broken! Yes!!

And congratulations to her Boss Tony Stewart for having the courage to hire her for his Stewart-Haas Racing Team!! He really is a pretty smart man.

Tony Stewart took a lot of criticism for bringing Danica into the Sprint Cup Series for 2013. Well let’s face it, he took a lot of criticism for helping her from day 1 to come into Nascar. Some of that criticism even came from me and I love the guy. (Why Nascar Fans Don’t Like Danica). Continue reading →

Superbowl XLVII – Results

Feb4

Ravens Overwhelm The 49’ers

Last night was the first good Superbowl game in a long time. But it didn’t start out that way. The first half seemed to be all Baltimore. They came to play and they were going to win big. There are enough people talking about the halftime show, so I’ll skip my commentary about that. Then the second half started and the Ravens came out like gang-busters!

Jacoby Jones of the Baltimore Ravens set an NFL postseason record with a 108-yard kickoff return to start the second half. As reported by ESPN:
Jones took the opening kickoff of the second half, a line-drive shot from David Akers, deep in the Ravens’ end zone and ran it the other way for the score, stretching Baltimore’s lead to 28-6.

And then…a few minutes later; the lights went out for San Francisco. Ok..so the lights went out for everyone as the stadium experienced a power outage. Stadium officials reported a feed into the stadium was disrupted, though they didn’t say what that disruption was. Rumor throughout the stadium, as reported by Nascar’s 2012 Sprint Cup Champion Brad Keselowski on Twitter was: Continue reading →
