Do you smell that? Spring is in the air! Today, Thursday February 22nd, we get to watch a real MLB game… sort of. At 3:10 Eastern, the Dodgers take on the Padres, although there likely won’t be any household names playing.

It’s baseball season!
Around here, the end of football season means the start of the greatest time of year: baseball season. February brings the start of spring training, with pitchers and catchers having reported this week. Position players report on Monday, and we’ll start seeing games on the 22nd. Hell, I’ll even watch a little college baseball forContinue reading “It’s baseball season!”
How’d we do?
It’s time to assess the damage I did to my bank account on Super Bowl LVIII bets. This is the best part of the big game for some, and the worst part for others. Most of us sprinkle so many plays that it’s tough to keep track of on gameday. So the next day (whichContinue reading “How’d we do?”
Some fun props to look at:
Something I look forward to every Super Bowl is sprinkling money on as many prop bets as I can. It’s the last football game we’re able to gamble on for seven months, so I like to try and make the most of it. Here are some game and novelty props for you to consider: 1.Continue reading “Some fun props to look at:”
Is this game going over or under?
On Monday we took a look at the spread for Super Bowl LVIII. While that line hasn’t changed, money is starting to come in on the 49ers (an estimated $20 billion has already been wagered on this game). The ratio on DraftKings is now 78/22 in favor of the Chiefs, and the closer that getsContinue reading “Is this game going over or under?”
Predicting this Super Bowl won’t be easy.
The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers met in the Super Bowl just four years ago, and it taught us a lot about both teams heading into this weekend. However, I’m still going back and forth deciding which team I want to ride with. At first glance, Kansas City +2 felt like free money.Continue reading “Predicting this Super Bowl won’t be easy.”
But the refs!
Continuing with the theme of lazy sports arguments on this page, there’s one that makes me angrier than the rest: blaming the officials for a loss. You can take to Twitter every week and find thousands of people saying the referees gifted every single team every single game. The hated teams around the NFL (i.e.Continue reading “But the refs!”
An argument for Brock Purdy:
Before I start writing, let me first apologize for my absence the last two months. I’ve grown a loyal audience in my beginning stages (I am so grateful for all of you) and it was not my intention to abandon it. My real-life job has been extremely busy due to people quitting and retiring. I’mContinue reading “An argument for Brock Purdy:”
The sad state of New York sports:
New York football fans were so eager for this season to get started. The Giants were coming off a season in which they won a playoff game, and the Jets added what was supposed to be the final puzzle piece in quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Halfway through the 2023-24 NFL season, fans of these teams haveContinue reading “The sad state of New York sports:”
The Texas Rangers are World Series champions.
Other teams around Major League Baseball should be taking notes; the Texas Rangers had to tweak their original plans and still built a winning baseball team. The Texas Rangers put on a management masterclass the past two seasons, crafting a team piece by piece with an even mix of free agent signings, trades and draftContinue reading “The Texas Rangers are World Series champions.”
