Superbowl, Gambling, and Rambling

Sorry I haven't updated in the past few days, the college life is busy (insert your OW in the comment section). I'll start off with the Superbowl, which I believe was almost just as good as last year's game. James Harrison's INT return was ridiculous and basically won the game for the Steelers. What I didn't notice at the time which was brought up on SportsCenter, if you go back to that play and look at Larry Fitzgerald running down Harrison, Antrle Rolle gets in his way on the sidelines and slows down Fitz, allowing Harrison to get into the endzone. How you get into your own players way on the sidelines confuses the hell out of me, but Rolle did and the result was game changing. Speaking of Larry Fitzgerald, he was unhuman like during the playoffs, like Frank Luongo when put up to an eating challenge. You can't believe it's happening, and when it's over you wonder how and why it happened. You can't hate on Santonio Holmes either, who even though was a huge bust in the fantasy season stepped his game up and was huge in the playoffs.

This brings me to my next topic, gambling. As you may remember my "lock" of the night a few nights ago was Illinois over Minnesota. That obviously didn't work out so well, along with my bet on Cleveland over the Magic, and loving Phoenix over San Antonio. 0-3 that night, but I remdeemed myself come Superbowl time. I felt that betting on just the Superbowl wasn't enough for me, so I took Cleveland (-4) at Detroit. I figured I've lost $65 on LeBron, he has to pay me back eventually, and he did. So after asking around I found out that the biggest jinx next to myself is Mellea, so after hearing he was taking the Steelers, the under, and Big Ben as MVP, I knew I should probably take the Cards (+7). And it finally paid off, 2-2 on the Superbowl and out of debt. I don't have a lock of the night for tonight cause I'm taking a day or two off of betting. That's a lie. I like San Antonio (-4) at Golden State tonight. Get ready for the Knicks starting off "Dream Week" against the Bynum-less Lakers tonight.

  1. Holy Moses Ger, your "lock" of the night barely covered, 110-105. You're either really good at this or really bad. I'm leaning toward the latter.

    BTW, Santonio Holmes should be counting his lucky fried chicken strips that he wasn't flagged for that Lebron celebration. Those 15 yards would have been tremendous.
