I just got a text from Geilfuss. He's at the O's/Yankees game at Camden Yards. Anyway, Geilfuss informed me that the people running the ballpark just set off fireworks after A-Rod hit a homer. I texted Geilfuss back and told him to demand his money back. That is ridiculous.
Real quick - to the anonymous commenter who informed me in a recent comment that the NY Post has been referring to Big Ben as Genital Ben, thank you. I laughed when I read that. And was a little jealous I hadn't come up with the moniker first.
Another recent commenter informed me that the redheaded member of the Dream Team from Get Bent Lounge infamy is currently in rehab in N Dakota. Now, anyone who has read this blog back from the beginning should recall the sordid stories of my, and Geilfuss' for that matter, interaction with the Dream Team. They all involved being blinding drunk and fending them off, admittedly, to varying degrees of success. Anyway, the redheaded Dream Teamer had a very big coke habit for as long as I knew her. And I hope she gets her shit together. Because for all my mocking of her, Vicki (the redhead in question) is a good girl at heart. A good girl who makes really poor decisions. Also of note, is that Vicki is the only Dream Teamer with even half a brain. She actually graduated college. When she finishes rehab, Vicki should never go back to the town Elaine Benes is from again. She should move somewhere that no one knows her and get a fresh start - not in the Gate City mind you. But anywhere else.
Survivor update - after much debate and back and forth, Geilfuss and I are gonna roll with the Cheese this Sunday. We hate taking the same team as all the idiots in Survivor, but this week we're gonna bite down hard and do it. I'd considered SD strongly, but I could see a scenario where the Jags have a lead in the 4th quarter of that game. I also considered Denver, but that defense is so banged up and that coach is still such a terrible egomaniac, that we stayed off them as well.
Games of note Saturday -
1) Ga Tech/UNC (-2) - I like the Heels. They have revenge on their mind. Everyone is doubting them and they're at home against a Tech offense that looks like a work in progress right now.
2) ECU/Va Tech (-20) - Big bounce back for the Gobblers. I like them to get the cover. What I'm really liking about this bet is that the public is betting the Pirates and Vegas is not dropping the number, instead they are raising it.
3) ASU/Wisconsin (-12) - I like the Badgers here. Early start time hurts the Devils and the Badger running game should thrive.
4) USC/Minny (+11) - Huge game for the Gophers. I like them to get the cover and would not be surprised if they got the outright win. USC should not be double digit road favorites right now against anybody.
5) BYU/FSU (-10) Take the Noles. Bounce back theory in play again. That and the Mormons have serious quarterback issues right now/ I'm looking for a 3 to 4 TD Noles victory.
I am interrupting this post (it's 8:29 Friday night) to go and meet Greensboro's favorite bartender, Dave, for a beer. He just called and he's already shit-faced. Be back later...This is always interesting...
Okay, it's 12:41 now & I'm shit-faced....shocking...
Sunday bets - take Baltimore, Miami, New England, Tennessee, G-Men
I'm drunk...tomorrow night take Wyoming +24 against Boise.
Bye, bye - I am hammered.
