#seveneighteen Podcast: You Had One Job! ONE!

After a two-week hiatus, we return to discuss Ozzie Guillen’s stupid comments and Bobby Petrino’s stupid actions. We also discuss the “resurgence” of Carmelo Anthony, why Kanye West & Lamar Odom are girly men (not in those words) and present the newest evidence for Hoes Be Winning: Warren Sapp.

seveneighteen Podcast: PLAYOFFS?!?!?

seveneighteen Podcast: This Week in College Football

As the only two unbeaten teams left in the nation, LSU and Oklahoma State, both 10-0, control their own destiny in the race to the BCS title game. But getting those last two wins will be easier said than done. LSU could very well lose to Arkansas, while Oklahoma State has to get past big brother Oklahoma. And if one…or both… of those scenarios play out, a gaggle of one-loss teams try to climb over each other like crabs in a bucket.

To help us sort out this (potential) mess, I chat with sevenighteen’s senior college football correspondent Gideon “Corso” Jones XIII about all things national championship.

Oh, I’ve just been handed a card that says there are actually three undefeated teams left. But Houston has no shot to play for the BCS title, right? RIGHT?

seveneighteen Podcast: A Pennsylvania Nightmare

If you’re a Philadelphia native who went to Penn State, you have NOT had a good November, to say the least.

On today’s show, Midtown Mo and myself bring in @TheKidSkoob to discuss his Philadelphia Eagles after their home loss to the Arizona Cardinals and the future of Andy Reid and DeShaun Jackson. We also discuss the scandal surrounding the Jerry Sandusky investigation at Penn State, of which Skoob is an alum. Some interesting points made all around.

Monday Morning Rambles: Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda

Just a recap of the week that was. These are my thoughts, I sleep through the night. (© @DrJayJack)

I love how people are killing President Obama because Chicago was eliminated in the first round of voting for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Quite frankly, he was damned if he did and damned if he didn’t. And if he didn’t go, and Chicago got creamed the way they did, large groups of people (read: conservatives) would be skewering him on some random TV network (cough cough, Fox News, cough) with, “Oh, if he had went, we would have had a better chance!”

In sports…

  • Mark Clayton’s a bitch. And that’s from the heart. (Fast forward to 5:35 to see what I mean.)
  • Speaking of bitches named Mark, I’d like to thank Dirty Sanchez for single-handedly trying to push me to 0-4 in fantasy league. I should be good though…I have three players going Monday night (Aaron Rodgers, Greg Jennings & Ryan Grant) in a game that’s getting a little bit of pub.
  • I think we can all agree that the Rams, Chiefs, Buccaneers, Browns, Raiders & Lions are the seven worst teams in football. This season, the Washington Redskins have all of those teams (except the Browns) on the schedule. The combined margin of victory against those teams so far? Five points (Rams 9-7, Bucs 16-13). And don’t forget the outright loss to the Lions.
  • BTW, the Tennessee Titans would KILL for that schedule.
  • I like JaMarcus Russell…but if he keeps this up, he may become the worst quarterback in the NFL since the merger.

Degenerate Gambling Update!!! (College Edition)

Yours truly went 6-4 this week, keyed by taking Miami (OH) +29 at home vs. Cincinnati, and my Lock of the Week came through (Washington +12.5 at Notre Dame).
Mr. Jones went 5-4 this week, and he can thank Toledo for saving his rass with some last-minute heroics.
Meanwhile, Mike Lowery wasn’t as fortunate, going 4-6, and he can thank Colorado State (-3.5) for losing outright to Idaho.
(Last week’s picks are here, for your reference)

In entertainment news…I’ll keep it short and to the point.

To the right is a picture taken shortly after a wedding involving the man pictured. If you were him, which one of those three girls (assuming they were all available) would you propose to?
Now let’s try this: rank the three girls in order of preference. Look at your No. 3 choice. If Choice Nos. 1 and 2 weren’t available, and you could have damn near any girl on the planet…would you choose Girl No. 3?

Thanks for reading,

William

College Lines Week 5

Yes, more gambling.

College football “experts” @JMikey & @MrGetItOnJones13, along with yours truly, pick 10 games from this week’s slate, which, quite frankly, stink to all hell. Here are the pre-reqs:

  1. Pick one game from each BCS conference (only one team needs to be from the conference)
  2. Pick one game involving a mid-major conference (C-USA, WAC, MWC, etc.)
  3. Pick any other three you want.

We’ll keep a running tally of these games to see who actually knows what they’re doing.

All games are picked against the spread…for entertainment purposes only (ha, ha).
