Against the Spread: 2009 NFL Week 5

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

I am writing this hungover and sad as I had to watch the whole bar sing NEW YORK, NEW YORK in my face after watching Alex Rodriguez hit a home run in the bottom of the ninth and Mark Teixeira hit the game winner thereafter. Bitter much?!?!?! Don't expect stats on ...

Friday, October 9th, 2009

It was a pretty uneventful, yet positive start to the handicapping season for me. Hopefully this week brings me better luck.

Against The Spread: Run for the Derby Preview

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

Just over five weeks until the ladies sing "My Olde Kentucky Home," and the bugle will blare "Call to the Post," proclaiming the long awaited start of the 135th run for the roses.  This run is special, and I plan on covering it every step of the way.  Just like ...

Against the Spread (Superbowl 43 Edition)

Friday, January 30th, 2009

Here it is, the biggest event in Pro-Football, The Super Bowl So why no excitement? I think this game will be better than most people anticipate. Pittsburgh has a talented defense, and Arizona has an equally talented offense. Make no mistake, the Cardinals are no Cinderella team, just ...

Against the Spread (Antonio Margarito v Sugar Shane Mosley)

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

I am shying away from my usual sports handicapping of football to discuss my other great love: Boxing. This weekend represents a truly magnificent match-up between Shane Mosley and Antonio Margarito.
