    Nicely played.

    Even though I'm not that far from Buffalo, I'd never heard of this paper. I wish it had stayed that way ...

    Maybe the bookie is just as stupid as the guy who wrote this blog and doesn't charge any juice.

    There's a guy in Eastern North Carolina that I could totally see writing this column, outside of the hooters references, because of the tone, language, etc.... So that made this even funnier for me.

    I actually felt my brow ridge getting lower and jutting out while reading that. Then, I nearly tripped over my knuckles when I got up from the chair.

    I'm suddenly hankering for a bronto burger

    Actually, you have to hit about 52.5 percent to break even with a 10 percent vig. For example, if you made 100 $100 wagers and hit 53 percent, you would profit $130. $5300 in wins, $5170 in losses.

    Well, I'll give this sexist moron one thing: He's found a good way to make sure NO parent asks him to write a story about their son or daughter. Would you want him writing about how your daughters' hooters bounce as she rounds the bases?

    Thanks for explaining that to me. I always assumed 60 percent was the over/under.

    Man. Here's to hoping he actually DOES show up for the women's game and all the players are waiting to stomp on his back with their cleats.
