Just some random thoughts going through the twisted mind of a sports bettor:
1. Isn't it wierd how when a team is on a roll, everybody's yapping about how unbeatable they are and it's "on to the Super Bowl" and all the hooplah and horsehit that comes along with a winning streak -- and when then they come back down to earth, like USC in the colleges and the Packers and Cowboys this weekend in the NFL, the talk suddenly changes to: "I told you they were over-rated, they haven't played anybody yet" and so on............and it changes from week-to-week depending on how good or how bad a particular team looks in their last game........The same can be said for the opposite end of the spectrum.........Look at the Chargers........right when everybody west of the Mississippi is calling for the head of "loser-boy" Norv Turner, they show up for a change in Denver Sunday, and all of the radio talk is how the Chargers are back.........Sure they looked good yesterday with everything going their way, but it was only Denver, who will struggle to finish at .500 this year because they also suck (hell, even the Raiders almost beat 'em at home).........Just goes to show you how short the memory of the average fan is............They only remember what happened last week, and that's it.
2. Trent Green will never again play competitive football at the NFL level ............He will end up going the Steve Young route and heed his doctor's advice to quit while he can..........I said in an earlier thread this year that the K.C.Chiefs hadn't been the same team since Trent Green suffered his concussion, and even though he's not with the Chiefs anymore, it won't shake the cobwebs in his head anytime soon no matter where he surfaces.......Give it up Trent, trade in your helmet for a headset........You'll do just fine in the T.V. booth.........You sure can't do any worse than half of the dorks they've got up there now.
3. The Cleveland Indians and the Colorado Rockies will meet in one of the least-watched World Series ever -- because nobody outside of these two cities will give a shit, yet it promises to be one the most exciting series played in recent years and a good one to bet on.............Only two words stand in the way of this transpiring -- Can you say Arizona Diamondbacks?
4. Now that LSU is ranked at the top of the mediocre College Football world, they will no doubt be the next to fall from the ranks of the unbeatens..........Doesn't matter who you are, or how many points you may be favored by, you've still gotta show up to play............Just ask the USC Trojans, who probably lost to one of the 10-worst teams in Division -1 last week at home.
5. Now that the New England Patriots have acquired a 5-0 record by beating up on such powerhouses as the N.Y Jets, Buffalo and Cleveland, all of the smack talk is on how they could and should go undefeated this season..........Yeah right, what happens if they get to 12-0 or 13-0 and decide to start resting players for the playoffs -- not to risk injury, like Tony Dungy did a couple of years ago with the Colts..........You can kiss your future wager at sucker odds goodbye my friends.........Don't fall for this hogwash, there is no value offered and pretty much a lose/lose situation...........But either way, that's all we're gonna hear about until they or the Colts lose a game.
Just my zany opinion that I need to spout off with once in a while just to keep my sanity in this crazy unpredictable world of sportsbetting...........Your's is welcome too !! Good Luck to you.
