It’s an open thread, discuss what yinz want to.

Week 1 had no games that were interesting, Week 2 does. So, as usual, let’s start with $1000 and make some bets for $100 each unless otherwise stated.

Thursday:

#4 Ohio State at Minnesota 8:00 PM. O State is a 14 point favorite and won’t cover this spread on the road against a bunch of 13 striped pocket gophers.

Bowling Green at Tennessee 8:00 PM: The VOls are giving 35??? Nope. BGSU covers. Sorry Eagles and Rain!

Friday:

Michigan State at Northwestern 9:00 PM: Wildcats are 3 point favorites against the lowly Spartans. The Wildcats are pretty erratic tho…but 3 points…at home…I’m picking the Spartans to cover.

Saturday:

#19 Penn State at #12 Wisconsin 12:00 PM. This is a VERY important early game for both programs. Camp Randall is hell to play in, the noise is unreal. Penn State is 5.5 point dog tho??? Nah, they cover.

#17 Indiana at #18 Iowa 3:30 PM. IU is giving 3, they have been pretty good the last couple of years, they cover at Iowa.

#23 Louisiana at #21 Texas 4:30 PM: Ragin Cajuns ranked!!! They are getting 8 points. I don’t think that they cover. They just might win tho!

#5 Georgia at #3 Clemson 7:30 PM: Easily the game of the week. UGA is giving 3 at Death Valley. This is a tough one. UGA covers. But I don’t feel great about this pick.

**result for week 1 and 2 6/8 $1400/$1000***

Like him or not, Cleese has new show going after the communist cancel culture. They will need to be very very careful. Cleese is a brilliant guy who can gut you while smiling politely and then you thank him for the evisceration.

Last year, the comedian slammed cancel culture, saying that it puts “emotionally unstable and fragile” people in positions of power. “Everything humorous is critical,” the Monty Python star said at the time. “If you have someone who is perfectly kind and intelligent and flexible and who always behaves appropriately, they’re not funny.”

This cracked me up some months ago

The line in the title dates to 1810, is attributed to the Romantic poet William Blake, and is reputed to be the source of the children’s taunt “Liar, liar, pants on fire.” But that’s not what I want to talk about. I want to talk about pants and pantaloons in particular. read more ›
