After four days in Boston and two in New York, I’m safely back home in Redondo. Luckily for me, the weather was pretty much gorgeous on the east coast, but it’s good to be home. I think the biggest problem with me leaving Southern California isn’t the weather, or the people, or the [...]

Last week was a bit unfortunate, with both Brian and I posting matching 1-3 records, bringing our overall marks to 14-13-1. Hopefully with me picking the slate this week, we can avoid falling into complete mediocrity.
On to the picks!

Ravens at Saints (-2)

Jeremy: To hear sports writers tell it, the Saints can’t lose [...]

I’ve been in Boston for 2 days now, and surprisingly, have heard that obnoxious Boston accent only once. Part of this, I imagine, is due to my current locale; my sister lives in a trendy, somewhat upscale (and apparently gay) section of Boston. Part of this, I further imagine, is because of the [...]

So I’m going to Boston tomorrow.
Suffice it to say no one should ever bet on football. Ever.
Is it bad that this still cracks me up, like, a bazillionty years later?
More to come….

Brian, apparently, didn’t like my slate last week. At least that’s the impression I got. I could be wrong. As a result, he’s apparently decided to pick 4 “high interest” games that no one in their right mind would actually gamble on. Except the Eagles game. That’s a gimme. Of [...]

So, I doubt anyone who reads this doesn’t already know, but in the off chance….
My friends Sam and Paul have started what they style as an “Original On-line Television Network”. It’s available at PandaSmash.com. It’s a repository for things they’ve written, directed, filmed, etc.
It’s actually pretty good, and you have to [...]

I’ve never been a particularly photogenic person. I blame my dad.
See, my dad’s an old photography guy. He used to have a dark room and everything (in an old Airstream trailer in the backyard, if I remember correctly). He’s actually quite good. He’s taken any number of competition-level photos. I [...]

So last week was a bit of a debacle. With a late score, the Rams didn’t cover, robbing me of at least a respectable 2-2 weekend. I must say that finishing 1-2-1 was a tad better than Brian’s 0-3-1 mark. Although I don’t know how I feel about these “ties” against the [...]

Sorry things have been slow around here. Seems like nothing but football lately. Not that I mind that, personally, but the other seven of you out there might take issue.
My question for the day is: Can someone please tell me where the IMDB.com “Movie of the Day” went? I would always [...]

Brian is picking this week’s slate. The last time this happened, I had my disastrous 1-3 week. You’ll note last weekend I went 3-1 picking the slate. As my not-so-esteemed not-so-colleague Bill Simmons would say, “warrants mentioning”. (It also warrants mentioning that Mr. Simmons went 6-8 last week and is even [...]
