POLLitically Incorrect – 1/3/2017
It appears that some AP voters have made a New Year’s resolution to not be so awful anymore, but unfortunately that trend hasn’t continued for the majority of folks. You see, The Baylor/Kansas conundrum finally got fixed by a UCLA loss of all things. All of those #1 votes that were on UCLA went to […]

Friday Degenerate Board – 12/30/16
Well, we put out $300 in futures last week, so we’re down $165 on the past week. Hopefully one of those three teams wins the NHL Eastern Conference and we can flip that result. Last week was the first week we really couldn’t find the right underdogs to ride, but luckily the parlay came through. […]

POLLitically Incorrect – 12/28/16
As you’ve probably noticed, college basketball doesn’t typically play any meaningful games the week before/of Christmas. Most teams try and beat down an inferior opponent and send their players home for an extended break before starting conference play. Surely you can see how this would make for a really boring column, so I’ve decided to […]

The Outback Bowl: A Preview and More
Depending on when you read this article, this is one of the stranger weeks of the year, at least for me. I put a butt-ton of effort, energy and emotion into the holidays, Christmas specifically, and then it’s over. It’s just over. And I’m sad. But there is a silver lining – the NCAA reserves […]

Friday Degenerate Board – 12/23/16
We’re getting to the scary point in the season where I’m almost convincing myself to actually put money on my bets. We hauled in another $317.13 last week bringing our five week profits to $2,102.13. That’s a cool 42% ROI since we began this venture together. We were incredibly close to raking in another $1k […]

This week in the Group of Five: Bowlmas Edition
Bowl season is magical. The winter holidays can be stressful at times, but Bowlmas is the greatest event in modern times. It should be a national holiday. A week long celebration of amazing athletes and dramatic games…and maybe some less dramatic games, but we love ‘em all. There are not too many bowls, there’s just […]

POLLitically Incorrect – 12/20/16
Well last week we bitched and moaned that Baylor needs to be ahead of Kansas. Guess what? The voters still screwed it up, but I firmly believe we got through to a few. Baylor was 16 votes behind the Jayhawks yesterday, and they closed the gap to 11 votes this week – yes I’m taking […]

Friday Degenerate Board – 12/16/16
Ok, now we’ve almost certainly learned our lesson about betting on the Saints, right? RIGHT? In all seriousness, there isn’t much to be upset about this week. It was by far our best week and we raked an $1,800 profit with another $1,000 left on the board to win (go Chiefs). We got lucky in […]

NFL Week 15 Preview
Last week I called for mayhem and we got some mayhem when it comes to the playoff race. The Chiefs beat the Raiders on TNF to take first place in the AFC West and the second seed in the AFC playoffs. The Seahawks played their worst game in the Russell Wilson era and blew their […]

My experiences in sports media
I am a lifelong fan of sports business, media, and the games themselves. I find there is no greater reality television than live sports, particularly the NFL. I am also intrigued with sports, and the impact they have socially and culturally in all corners of the United States. I have now lived in different time zones, from cities […]
