Pick #25 is Elusive No Longer

Bigsam1122 was patient. He waited 6 days to make his 24th pick and when he selected the Bucs he was just one pick from being a millionaire. And so he waited, he waited an entire week to make his final selection in his lengthy quest.

Throughout the week Bigsam1122 opted against many different options. He avoided monday night football and the Canucks vs. Jackets. On tuesday he opted to stay away from whether Stoke or Arsenal would score more goals, the over under on the Lakers Pacers game and goal total in Lighting Fliers game. On wednesday, the goal total in the Lazio vs. AC Milan game, the winner of the Penguins vs. Rangers, nor the winner of the Bucks vs. the Bulls were his cup of tea. On thursday night 6 different options were available including the over/under in the Raiders game but no cigar. Fridays 6 course slate included whether Paul Pierce or Brandon Roy would score more points, but this was not the dish for him. Yesterdays college football slate consisted of 7 options including the obvious pick of the Wannstache against the Huskies but he didn't want a mustache ride to a million.

And finally today he skipped over the early games and went straight to taking the home favorite Steelers against the Cowboys. At about 7:10 it must have looked dire. The Cowboys were up by 10 with only so much time left on the clock. But all of that changed. The Steelers put up 10 offensive points to tie the game with a litte over 2 minutes remaining. And then Tony Romo threw a beutiful touchdown pass of BigSam, one directly to Deshea Townsend. After a 4 incomplete Romo passes it was complete, ESPN is paying one random individual 1 million dollars thanks to some smart decisions and some luck. Congrats and don't spend it all in one place.

my guess is that he waited til Sunday as he could get a lot more money down as a hedge on the biggest NFL game of the week than he could on anything else. If he didnt want to hedge one of the English Premier League soccer games UNDER would likely have been the best % play available to him.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big...

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
