All Night Appetite w/ Andrew (SEN 1116)

3,899 Comments »

A discussion about the biggest sports rivalries in the US is brought on by the Thrilla in Manila documentary and the rivalry between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. A blast from my past as we talk about Julius Hodge who is playing basketball for the Melbourne Tigers. He is playing in Australia as he tries to get a chance to return to the NBA. A discussion on the NBA action this week as the Cleveland Cavaliers have been playing good ball, Andrew Bogut is injured, the Nets are winless, the Hornets have won a couple and the Knicks pass on Allen Iverson. The NASCAR season comes to an end today, Marcos Ambrose should be very happy with the year his team had. The NFL Week 11 is underway with the New York Giants facing a near must win against the Atlanta Falcons. The pressure is on Eli Manning and his receiving corp to produce. The 2-7 Oakland Raiders take on the 7-2 Cincinnati Bengals, I give the Raiders a shot and definitely would take the 9 points. The Minnesota Vikings are threatening to leave town, they can’t leave winter is depressing enough in Minnesota.

No Pick for Nov. 10th

22 Comments »

I can’t come up with a game worth suggesting. The Tuesday college football game is Buffalo hosting Ohio University. Buffalo is favored by 1 after opening 3. Buffalo has suspended starting quarterback Zach Maynard for the first quarter. I wouldn’t touch this game, I think this is a public line move due to their respective records.

Check out the documentary on Jimmy the Greek tonight on ESPN at 8pm. This doc is part of a series called 30 for 30, ESPN is showing 30 sports documentaries covering topics in their 30 years of existence. Probably some of the best work ESPN has done in awhile. Jimmy “the Greek” Synder was a pioneer in bringing sports (football mostly) gambling into the mainstream.

Picks for Oct. 1st NHL Opening night

21 Comments »

It is the opening night in the NHL and in honor of one of the biggest degenerate gamblers this world (he is a Canadaian to boot) has ever seen I am going do something Dan Mahowny would do and take the road team in each of the 4 hockey games. If you haven’t seen the movie Owning Mahowny, Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Dan Mahowny who is based on the real life Brian Molony. Mahowny/Molony embezzled over $10 million from the bank in Toronto where he was employed. Though most of this money was lost at Caesar’s in Atlantic City, he was very active betting horses and sports. He would bet the same number horse in every race or the entire slate of games in a particular sport the same way. I could hear him say “give me the all of the road teams tonight”. I actually like the road teams tonight and I don’t think there is such a strong home ice advantage in hockey. Most places will offer home vs road goals, tonight it’s a pick ‘em so that could be an easier way to make this play.

Canadians (-105)
Capitals +115
Sharks -170
Canucks +105
or
Road team goals -110

All Night Appetite w/ Christian (SEN 1116)

NFL season is about to start Thursday night here in the States and excitement is brimming over. The popularity of football has continued to grow and with the Major League Baseball division races in little doubt the NFL is dominating the US sports world. In the NBA Ricky Rubio decides to stay in Spain and not join the Minnesota Timberwolves. In Tennis the US Open is in full swing as I am looking for a repeat of last years finals. However this year I see Andy Murray taking the title over Roger Federer. In Horse Racing, Rachel Alexandra enters legendary status with her win in the Woodward over older male horses. Who is going to play Calvin Borel in the movie? The second FedEx Cup tournament is being played in Boston with Tiger Woods struggling in the 3rd round.
