You don't care about my picks.
Lost last week taking the years profit down to 1847.22. Hitting it hard this week with a two team home favorite 6.5 pt. teaser.
Ravens - 6.5
Miners - 2.5
Laying 1000 to make 833.33
Might be the most cynical bet possible as a Browns fan. God help me if there is betting karma.
Adrenaline
Doing car stunts tonight. An actor locked up the brakes on a car and skidded sideways at high speed. Directly towards me. I first registered that I was about to get crushed, then noticed the policeman between me and the speeding vehicle. He was looking the other direction and had no idea he was about to be run down. Took a step towards him, grabbed him with both hands and plucked him out of the...

What a wonderful life
Around 1989-90 I was stepping out of the old Tower Records at 4th and Broadway and bumped into Joey Ramone. We chatted a bit, I showed him the vinyl I just bought, and we went our separate ways. Looking back I saw him begin to cross the street before stopping and retreating to the curb several times despite the absence of traffic. Years later I wound up attending one of his gigs with his mother...

A word or two about the Baltimore Ravens.
Fuck them. Each and every player, coach, trainer, groundskeeper, scout, towel boy, every single person who has anything to do with the organization. Fuck the fans, and the owners. Obviously, fuck Art Modell. I eagerly anticipate his death and guarantee you that shortly after that glorious day a pic of yours truly pissing on his grave will appear on this blog. Fuck their ugly purple uniforms...

Okay, that was worth it right there
In the midst of switching from PC to Mac and frustrated by how much there is to learn, especially as I am doing it in the middle of a serious gig. Still, just Facetimed with the wifey for the first time and that alone justified the purchase. So easy and so instant, and there we were chatting away. Only problem was Moe. He went nuts when he heard my voice, tail wagging to beat the band. Poor...

You don't care about my picks

Going for a six team seven point tease this week:

chargers +8
Seahawks +10
falcons + 10.5
packers -3
ravens -2
Risking 300 to make 1500
How Cool is That?
Had a rough start to my day. Yelled at someone for ordering a sandwich too slowly. I mean, fuck you anyways for you and your “how is the meunster”. It’s processed cheese in a effing Brueggers Bagels you dipshit. STFU and let me order a coffee. Even so, I could have handled it much better.
Then I got to work and opened a card from my wife’s grandmother telling me how...
Breakfast of Champions
Got a solid five hours of sleep last night. Woke up, grilled a two inch thick prime ribeye and washed it down with a can of coke. As the man said, America, fuck yeah!
Give my regrets to Harrisburg
Was unexpectedly offered a high profile job that would involve a pay cut and a move to Pennsylvania. So very flattering, thanks, but I can’t make that move and I’m realllly not cut out for government work.

New job opportunity
Me: My God, that’s a fantastic butter. Sweet cream, definitely from a grass-fed cow. Just a hint of smoke to it, too.
Wifey: You should be a lard sommelier.

Hit most of ‘em but got hosed by the Steelers. As a Browns fan that is my lot in life. Profit for the year is 1676.47.

Wifey: You didn’t hear that they closed Porchetta?
Me: Sarah’s place? You serious? That was the best sandwich ever. No way. No effing way. They can’t do that. She brought those roasters over from Tuscany. Got the Berkshire hams. She sent her pork over to the Marines in Afghanistan. No way her restaurant closed.
Wifey: No, it didn’t.

Impeach Paul Haggis
Watching “The Last Three Days”, mostly because it also shot in the Burgh. My God is it awful. Everything about it sucks. The acting is very weak (with the exception of Russel Crowe). The story is poorly structured. It is horribly paced and set up more as an elegaic dirge than anything, which is an awful form for a procedural. The photography is pedestrian at best, shot largely in...

I love my job
Spent the better part of the day with the Chief Investigator for the District Attorney. He was the top homicide detective in Pittsburgh for many years and is one of the most respected police in town. The Movie Star himself was cool enough to chat him up and pose for a picture as a favor to me. The Detective and I are getting pretty tight, and he definitely gave me the “If you run into...

Hit on both. Profit on the season is $1926.47. Once again I say eff you to the federal government for not allowing me to wager.
No time to fully analyze the games this week, so this is a bit of a throwaway just to keep it interesting: laying a five team 6.5 point teaser
Bills +9.5 over Eagles
Panthers +13.5 over Saints
Titans +10 over Steelers
49ers + 3.5 over Bucs

Hit on both. Profit is 991.47 after three weeks. Damn Feds and their laws against offshore gaming. Taking food off my plate.
Not feeling as strong about anything this week. Going to play it safe with a three team seven point tease.
