A couple weeks ago we wrote that we would arrive in this space at least once a week until the end of the football season. Well, the football season hasn't even started, and our 'once-a-week' promise lasted maybe ten days, perhaps less.
Be advised: It's not our fault. Unexpected things happen, like when a totalitarian boss who neither respects American workers nor understands The Playhouse's influence on the national stage constantly spouts cliches about "showing up on time" or asks incredibly intrusive questions like, "Why does your breath always smell of booze after lunch?"
Working under that type of scrutiny, one can easily see how a gambling blog with an international following of six people can suddenly go to hell. While we will make no similar promises moving forward, we will do our best to be here. You need us and we need you.
A couple thoughts before the Super Play of the Day...
Some geek SI writer got his panties in a bunch because Michael Jordan's high school coach is in jail, and MJ apparently won't do anything about it. We'd only ask this a-hole one thing: Why is it somehow incumbent upon Jordan to take an active philanthropic approach to everyone that he's crossed paths with just because he happens to be the best basketball player who ever lived? Sure it's a sad story, and we feel bad for the dude, who is obviously struggling with some serious problems. But, ultimately, unless you are willing to take ownership of the destiny of everyone you have ever met, then it's completely asinine to presume that MJ should ...
Speaking of Michael Jordan, John Salley went on something called "The Colin Cowherd Show," and basically said that MJ was an average player and horrible defender who benefited because hand-checking was legal. Very solid commentary...
We knew it was coming, but it was still distressing when during final-round coverage of the PGA Championship CBS' golf crew continually suggested that players forced to play 27 holes Sunday (play was suspended Saturday because of weather) had suffered through a 'long day.' To be clear: 99 percent of America would give their left leg to play golf professionally, and playing more than 18 holes in a single day is simply not an arduous task. It's called a vacation. Go fuck yourselves. Nice perspective...
Super Play of the Day
Tampa-Seattle under 7 (even)
