Zuerst: The internet may be useful and all, but I can't get the CBS radio feed of the NFL game tonight. Yeah, I'm lazy and don't feel like looking; I did find this, and I was able to listen to the 'Skins-Jets game last week, but they're broadcasting the A's-Angels game. Can't really blame them: early season NFL games are interesting to me, but late season baseball games affecting the race for the pennant certainly have their appeal. Sorry that got out of hand. Just had to vent.

Since it's the weekend...

College Football: I finish my commentary on coillege football this weekend by noting that Ohio St. probably got jobbed by dropping in the poll. Texas, on the other hand, deserved exactly what it got. I won't dignify UF and LSU's wins with comments. I won the ECU and Penn St. games, but lost on ASU (side note: if they only won by 10 against Utah St. at home, then they'll get smacked around when either USC or Washington St. plays 'em.) and FSU (I guess I underestimated Ga Tech's defence. Shame they folded in the last 5 minutes. So I finish 8-7, having not picked games on which there were no lines. Having said all I'm going to say, off to...

Pro Football: I had a losing record for the 1pm EST and 4pm EST games. I won on North Havana, VD Central, Cheesetown, The Only Place That Snows More Than Chicago, The City Of Sin Now That Las Vegas Is Run By The Corporations, and The City That Would Tax Espresso.

I lost on:
  • Music City. Apparently their offense never found a rhythm.

  • The Heart of the South. Apparently my taters had more heart, coming back from 17 down to win by 2.

  • Steel City. Why don't you put some in your defence, Cowher?

  • Strippertowne. Yes, I just called Tampa "Strippertowne". Apparently I badly underrated Caccalac's defence.

  • The City Of Hate. I imagine that must be how it feels now that they've opened their crib with 2 bad losses.

  • Tijuana's Northern Neighbour. Beuerlein threw for more than Joke the Choke. And San Diego sucks!

  • No There There. Maybe the Queen City is on track to actually win more than 4 games sometime in the next decade.



By my mark, I'm 6-7-1 ATS (Arch City beat Bridge City by 3).

Programming Note: I doubt that I'll do more than 5 college and 5 pro games in the future. I'll devote future weekend blogs to other topics of note.

All I have for now. I'm exhausted from doing just about nothing over the course of the day. -- Ryan
