My buddy Kurt Warner and NFL superstar Az-Zahir Hakim.
We are now capable of running the ever dangerous 'Az Fly' play.
Quick college football note: Even if we had a playoff system to determine a national champion, the same BCS fiasco could still happen. Just as there are 3 teams qualified to play for 2 spots in this year's Sugar Bowl, a USC-LSU situation could exist for the 4th spot in a 4 team playoff (or 8th spot in 8 team playoff) system. Who cares about the national championship? It's all about the Insight Bowl!!
We had our BARM staff Christmas party yesterday. It's a time for the staff to relax, talk, sing Christmas carols, play a few games, and collect our bonus checks. Our checks were smaller than last year's bonus, but given our financial state, I'm thankful we got anything at all.
Earlier this year, I had the idea to 'stretch' my paychecks and increase my income by wagering on NFL games. (Danny had me take a 'Do You Have a Gambling Problem?' survey. 7 out of 20 indicates you may have a problem. I scored an 8, but I bet $5 I can get a 6 next time.) I am in a non-wagering NFL Pick'em pool with some friends. At the start of the season, I was on fire. After week 8, I was correct with 75% of my picks (76/106)! That's not counting the pushes, which count as losses in this pick'em game.
However, my combined week 9-13 picks had only 38% of the winners (29/76), dropping my season to 58%. (So far in week 14, I already have 10 of 15 correct with the Monday night game still to go.) I read you need to win at least 55% of your picks to come out on top. I should have taken advantage of some ridiculous spreads earlier in the season, which brings up a question. Is it better to have bet and lost, or to never have been a bettor at ball? (the answer: be a better bettor)
Note: I did not bet on football (yet, ha ha). Please put me in the Hall of Fame. This blog is for entertainment purposes only.
