The way that they were playing in the first month-plus of the season, it looked like the Dallas Cowboys would be lucky to be a .500 team at season’s end, that Wade Phillips would be lucky to have his job come January 4, 2010, and that Tony Romo would have ... Continue Reading

November Chumpservations, Part Two: Tim Lincecum, Las Vegas, the NFL and Hall & Oates
Wanna bet?
Las Vegas sports books have been taking a bath lately and I don’t mean comfortably inside a lavish Bellagio hot tub. Weeks ago, Vegas reported its biggest losses in years. The reason? The disparity between the haves and the have-nots in the NFL is so broad that when these ... Continue Reading
