I honestly don’t care at all about this game. But it’s the difference between a “winning” season and a losing one. The line, I believe, is -4.5 for the Steelers. Which seems a little high. Honestly, I think I’m rooting for the Seahawks, mostly because I don’t like Jerome Bettis, and I [...]

So both my teams lost this week. It wasn’t even close. This, of course, has the added drama of bringing my record even at .500, with one game left: The Superbowl. But here’s the problem: WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT THE SUPERBOWL!? It’s Seattle and Pittsburgh for christ’s sake!
Whatever. [...]

We’re taking a little break from JeremyAbramson.com™ Presents: The Real World, Ultimate Hump List, just in time for the conference championships. I went 2-2 this past week, picking both NFC games (including a road dog and a home favorite that needed to cover by almost 10 points!), but losing out on both AFC games. [...]

We’re back with picks this week, trying to edge toward profitability. Picking playoff games is a bit rough, since both teams are, presumably, good squads who have a chance to win. Instead of “fun facts” or “favorite momements” this week, we’re going with another alternative way of picking teams: The number of USC [...]

…but, you know, I told you so.
Here’s a quote from today’s (January 12th, 2006) “Daily Quickie” on ESPN.com, written by Dan Shanoff:
Here’s the thing about Bush: It’ll take an innovative coach to maximize his effectiveness. Stick him in the “Vicksand” of inside-the-box X’s and O’s, and Bush might as well be Dave Meggett.
Here’s what I [...]

(Editors note: I am not a USC hater. I actually go to USC. I’m a Trojan. I wasn’t rooting for them — or against them, for that matter — during the Rose Bowl. My “rooting” interest in college football ended when the Miami Hurricanes decided to stay in Miami for [...]

This is why we don’t gamble on football. After a promising Saturday (with the Pats and ‘Skins winning) I went 0-2 on Sunday, after Carson Palmer’s ACL did it’s little string cheese impression. With the Bengals and Giants getting crushed, my push for profitability took a mild hit, as I went 2-2 for [...]

My first post of 2006! Whoo hoo!
I know, I know. It’s been awhile. I’m sorry.
This isn’t going to turn into a sports-only blog – I promise – but there have been a lot of sports-related things going on. Actually, there have been a lot of other-related things going on as well, [...]

Sigh. Week 17. Parting can be such sweet sorrow.
I didn’t really put a lot of thought into the picks this week, which is too bad. This is my last — unless I pick the playoff games, which I’ll probably do — chance to get above .500 for the season. [...]

So Jeffy is still busy, and Sam is busy on his “Hey, I’m a Jew / NorCal ‘05″ Tour, so it looks like I’m all by myself this week as far as picks are concerned. And I know things have been slow here this past week, but don’t worry. We’ll catch up soon [...]
