November 5, 2011

The Playhouse is very pleased to announce that, after a nationwide search and meticulous interview process, a new Crew was hired this week. Here's the official announcement in case you missed it:

To: Joe Berger Inc staff

From: The desk of the Chief Executive Officer

Date: November 3

Subject: Senior Vice President, Handicapping Services

It is my pleasure to announce that The Crew will be joining our company on November 3, 2011. The new Crew, which replaces the old Crew, has worked in the low-stakes handicapping industry for over 13 years and has extensive experience with several lightly-read, largely anonymous blogs.

Join me in welcoming The Crew to our company!



Sincerely,


Joe Berger 


The Playhouse thanks Gregory L Enholm, who last week produced two profitable days as our guest picker. Again, this is a man who once asked a woman he had never met, 'Hey, you're hot, where do work?' while standing in her kitchen cooking eggs and wearing nothing but boxers. He is welcome in this space anytime.


Couple thoughts from the week before we get to the Super Play...


Steve Williams used some salty language at a public event this week in Australia to describe his former employer. About his over-the-top comments after winning with Adam Scott at The Bridgestone earlier this summer, Williams explained they were designed to 'shove it up' Tiger Woods' 'black arsehole.' First of all, nothing, we mean nothing, screams class more than dropping a racial epithet on a room full of people. (Of course, Williams apologized on his website this morning, which is notable not for the gesture itself, but because, as a caddy, he actually has a website). Secondly, in doing so Williams accomplished something that no one, including Woods has been able to do in almost two years: make Tiger Woods a sympathetic figure...


Arizona Senator John McCain took to The Dan Patrick Show this week to say the Senate should hold hearings on HGH testing in the NFL. Considering all the challenges currently facing the country, we think this should be priority one. Really, when you think about it, the economy, the deficit, immigration, social security reform and education, ect. should all take a back seat to the NFL being jacked up on HGH. Can't believe Congress' approval rating hovers near 20 percent...




The Super Play of the Day


LSU travels to Alabama today for the much hyped, so-called game of the century. From a gambling standpoint, there's only two things you need to know. One, Alabama's defense is holding opponents to an average of 95 yards total offense. That's pretty absurd. Two, on throws of 15 yards or more, LSU's defense has more interceptions (7) than the opponent has completions (6). It's a bit chalky, but the under here is begging for some action.

LSU-Alabama under 41.5

Other picks


Arizona -3.5
Iowa +4
