    a case for the broncos

    One of the smartest people to ever post on this site once told me that the most important factor in winning football games and covering spreads is the offensive line. A good offensive line provides two essential elements: 1) they give a QB time to pass, resulting in higher yards per pass attempt...

    NBA funnies

    I started a thread like this last year, and while I may have been the only one entertained...why not. Need to lighten things up around here a little bit :0074 By the way - at least over the last 17 seasons, because that's as far as I can search, the Sixers are the first team to win three in...

    Tuesday

    I didn't think I would play anything the first couple days, but found one I liked for opening night. Bulls-Heat NBA opening night kicks off with the champions hosting a revived Bulls team. A championship team, coupled with the long anticipated return of Derrick Rose, makes this by far the...
