It’s here, it’s finally here! When I was a child, I looked forward to Christmas. Now I look forward to the start of football season. No more Little League World Series games, no more women’s basketball, no more golf tournaments sponsored by car-washes, it’s FOOTBALL SEASON!!!!

And what fun would football season [...]

WOW, what a game. Probably the best Super Bowl I’ve ever watched. Of course, I wouldn’t be saying that if the Patriots won, but they didn’t so, GREAT GAME! It looks like the Giants put to rest any talk of the “best team ever”, as they beat the Patriots up and down [...]

Well, this has been one of the worst years for me in terms of predicting games… and for that matter, who I want to win. The Eagles stink, I detest the Patriots, and don’t like the contenders to the throne much better. Anyway, I’m hoping to salvage something here with a correct prediction [...]

Well, about the best thing I can say about my football predicitions is my preseason Super Bowl pick of Seattle beating New England is still alive.  I am now reduced to rooting against the Patriots and the Cowboys.
seattle +7.5 over GREEN BAY     I think the Seahawks win the game outright.  Hey there has to be at least [...]

Well, again, I had been having such a bad year making football predictions, that I let the cat pick the games, and then eventually gave up.  But here it’s Wild Card Saturday, so let’s recap.  My Super Bowl prediction was Seattle defeating New England.  Well, one half of that looks pretty good, although I’m not [...]

Well, I kind of gave up on predicting games every week, as 1) it was taking too much time, and 2) I was getting all my predictions wrong.
However, we have a little free time here around the holidays, so we’ll throw some things down on paper, just for discussion.
Holiday Bowl:  Arizona State +2.5 over Texas…  [...]

So last week, Squeaky the Cat blew his BESTBET when the Vikings crushed the Giants, but he did pick up the other two games, making him 2-1 in BESTBETS, and 7-5 overall.  We’re giving Squeaky credit for the Eagles game, even though I forced him to pick that one.  25 points?  Jeez, if the lousy Eagles [...]

Well, last week we were off the air, as the website went down for half a day.  Oh well, Squeaky had a bad week, missing with Tennessee and San Diego.  However, he did nail a BESTBET with the Eagles.  His record is now 2-0 BESTBETS, 5-4 overall.
So much has been happening in the sports world, [...]

I have turned over the handicapping duties for now to my cat Squeaky.  I have been well below .500 this year, so virtually no matter what Squeaky does, it’ll be an improvement.  Squeaky went 3-0 last week, including a BESTBET, as Dallas smoked the pathetic Eagles.  So again, using the random cat treat method, we [...]

Well, our record is now 6-10 for NFL games, 1-4 in BESTBETS, as all the games lost.  Convincingly.  Not even close.  Well, the Redskins made it close at the end, by scoring that touchdown, so it was 52-7, instead of 52-0.  Why even make the effort, 52-0 says so much more about what a pathetic [...]
