Week 5 Results

Things turned around a little bit this week. I'm still pissed the Saints are so bad they can't beat a Panthers team led by David Carr and the Packers threw away an easy win.

Through Sunday's games

Straight up: 12-2
Against the spread: 7-7

For the season

Straight up: 52-24 (.684)
Against the spread: 38-33-5 (.533)

Kornheiser, Shut Your Kornhole

I've never liked Tony Kornheiser, because he's a loudmouth who thinks he's so much smarter and knows more than everyone else. When he had his show on ESPN Radio, he wouldn't talk about sports -- he would talk about things he liked and the listener should like it, too. Yesterday, while I was listening to John Seibel on my way home from work, I was rudely interrupted by PTI (Dick's, huh, that's about right) and Kornheiser put me over the edge. What an asshole!

Everyone knows he couldn't have possibly watched the first 9-10 innings of the tiebreaker game between the Rockies and Padres, because he was doing Monday Night Football. Yet, he was adamant the Rockies shouldn't be in the playoffs, because Matt Holliday never touched home plate with the winning run. Well, if the Padres had won, should they have been in the playoffs after Garrett Atkins' home run in the seventh inning was incorrectly called a double? Who should be in the playoffs, Tony?

He didn't even watch the freaking game and he's talking about the one call he saw on a national show. Way to put your ignorance on display and let everybody know how much of an idiot you really are. Nobody is making a big deal about Holliday, because it was justice -- the bad calls evened out. Tony should quit one of his many jobs, so he doesn't continue to make a complete ass of himself.

By the way, I was going for the Padres, but there would have been a lot more controversy and discussion about instant replay in baseball had they won.

Week 4 Results

What a crappy week -- again. Here's where we stand before tonight's game:

WEEK 4
Straight Up:
7-7
Against the Spread: 7-7

SEASON
Straight Up : 40-22 (.645)
Against the Spread: 31-26-5 (.540)

Hey, at least I'm as good as Bill Simmons. And, at least I'm keeping up with the pace car. If you only picked the favorites in each game straight up, you would be 40-22. ESPN needs to find a place for me.
