NFL Nuggets:
- Antonio Brown has now decided to stop taking runs at BIG BEN and instead is now bravely aiming his Twitter cannon at Juju Smith-Schuster.
- Going so far as to blame Juju for the reason the Steelers “fumbled away” their chance at the playoffs in Week 16 against the Saints.
- Which has led to a back & forth that demeans them all.
Crazy how big that ego got to be to take shots at people who show you love! Smh

- Better Steelers news: Ryan Shazier is able to do three-foot box jumps.

- Betterer news is that more former AAF players have been signed to NFL contracts:
- The Steelers signed three players.
- The Cardinals signed two players.
Tonight’s sport:
- NCAA:
- National Championship Game: Virginia vs. Texas Tech – 9:00PM | CBS / TSN
- Ralph Sampson in the house!
- National Championship Game: Virginia vs. Texas Tech – 9:00PM | CBS / TSN
Although it’s not as cool a story as my brother’s friend who ran a $500 Eagles bet in Week 15 then double-or-nothing all the way to a potential $400,000 payout if they’d beaten the Saints, the largest payout on Texas Tech tonight is a $1500 futures bet from back in November that will pay out $300,000 if they can beat Virginia. (He apparently wanted to bet more than $1500, but the Sportsbook stopped him.)
I can’t say I have any real animus towards either school. I remember Ralph Sampson because any guy my age from the 80s couldn’t forget how tall he was versus the rest of the team, and how Jim Valvano completely owned him in both the 1983 ACC Tournament finals and the Elite Eight. And I’ve been to Lubbock.
The current spread on the game is Virginia by 1.5, with an over/under of 118.5. I’m not Hippo, nor an especially devout worshipee of GAMBLOR, but I’m going to pick Virginia by six & advocate for the under – I just see these two teams taking too much first-half time trying to feel each other out, and that will leave the scoring kinda flat. It won’t be as flat as the Super Bowl or your first girlfriend, but it’ll be close enough to give you flashbacks.

Following tonight’s rec league softball performance, I think the lesson is to always drink more beer before playing.
I tried to tell you.
I think three and some sake was the right amount. I played the best defense I have in years. The ump was complimenting me. It was weird.
Now who wants to do the dishes for me?
Lazy millennial. Gen-X would have grabbed the purse & run.
Meanwhile I remain a stupid fucking loser.
Well. Fuck it. Later taters.
You are neither stupid nor a loser, dude.
Also, just saying….
and he’s humble.
I can’t help it if I was awesome this year.
Like I said.
Hehehehe.
/Remembers the rest of his life has sucked royally for the past three years
OK, it’s not so fun anymore.
I’m just impressed there are no porn tabs or “Pron” folder.
As I’ve already said gents…do as I say, not as I do. When the account began to grow, I wanted to prove I could get it up to 10K. I got very lucky on some stupid bets. But I got it there.
I’m cashing out and will never bet again.
Probably.
Congratulations.
Thank you good sir.
Right on man!
Bet you won’t.
This guy gets it
THANKS OBAMA!!
They may be Champions for 2018-19, but this will live forever.

It’s like the Yankees blowing a 3-0 lead to the Red Sox. It’s in the history books, and can never be unwritten.
So, hey, Seamus, what’s our cut now?
I’ll take your wife out for a nice dinner if she’s into it.
Oh, she’s into it alright.
Not incorrect.
Congratulations to Virginia for winning the championship. Congratulations to tWBS for winning money. And congratulations to my bed for zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Shit, you have bees in your bed?
I told you Oprah wasn’t going to just ignore that shit you were talking about her.
Morbid as fuck question: has any professional or college player legit commit suicide after a big loss?
James Dungy after losing his Father’s love.
Donnie Moore, but years later.
Oh, come on Texas Tech. Accept your defeat!
They’re a Texas team dude. Either they win or blame someone
Every team that has lost to a 16 seed has won the championship the following year.
Sign this man up to do color next year.
THIS GUY GUY I CALL HIM GUY BECAUSE HIS NAME IS GUY AND HE’S THE GUY
I’m glad that TWBS has won his bet, but the finish of this game left a very bad taste in my mouth.
It was an ugly game to be sure.
But I gotz mah moneh!!!!!
And I won the bracket challenge.
I’m kinda happy more tonight than any time for the past coupla months.
I’m back baby!!!!
Actually, that bad taste is now gone, because I realized that a) I don’t give a fuck about Texas Tech and b) my friend TWBS won a bunch of money that I can hit him up to buy me a beer with next time I see him!
Oh and also Duke lost, and the team that beat Duke didn’t even make it to the final.
Yes, Duke lost.
Now what’s this about free beer?
Everything is coming up Milhouse!
Shiny Hiney.
Almost life size.
I’d eat there.
You still can.

If Texas Tech wins this, that means their last two losses came against WVU. WVU went 16-21 this year.
Did any couches survive?
2019: The year of the Novemdecuple Overtime!

I’ve got bananas. Can anyone spare a cup of flour for some bananacakes.
But he still has the ball, though, when the TO was signaled. Shouldn’t that be granted?
Timeouts are granted at the official’s discretion. If they don’t notice until after the ball is passed, too bad.
Pass went off that Guy’s ass!
Me and my dad just said unbelievable in perfect stereo

Its always comforting when there’s 3½ minutes left in the Championship Game and your coach is going “I’m open to suggestions. I got nothing.”
Oh, the New York Jets Method?
Is that you, Andy R?
tWBS, what did you bet $10Gs on? Is it against the spread or do they simply have to win?
He only bet 1G, and it was on the spread.
Usually when twbs puts $1000 on the spread, she leaves afterward
Usually?
He was too polite to complete the “alive” part.
Hehehehe
I suck at gambling so if its TT +1 that means:
VA wins by 2 or more: Bet loses.
VA wins by 1: Bet pushes.
TT wins: Bet wins
He bet UVa at -1.5. They have to win by 2 or more to pay out for tWBS.
I’m trying to learn spread betting. Ohio, Kentucky and/or Indiana may be getting Sports Betting, and I like to know why I’m losing money when I gamble. Its more fun that way.
Hippo would tell you not to bother and stick with the money lines.
this is indeed what I say, at least for hoopsball
Didn’t bet 10G….1G.
The win puts me above 10 overall for the season (NFL/College Football/College Basketball).
And that’s gonna buy a lot of weed in a coupla months.
And yes, it was against the spread. I put it down UVa -1.5. I was sweating it out there for a bit.
Odds Man has let the mask slip, it seems
That is much larger than anticipated
NOT what she said.
Is that English?
For what was supposed to be a crapfest, this is pretty goddamned fun.
How many beers is too many before softball?
30?
Ok, Wade
May he rest in peace
Yes
That’s why they make the ball so big.
Ralph Sampson turned into a crack whore so gradually I barely noticed.
As much as I hate it because the money I have riding, this is turning into a really good game.
RIP Nadja Regin.

I thought alcohol was a disinfectant.

I think that was my grandmother.
The Baltimore Orioles scored 12 runs tonight. Topped the A’s 12-4.
It might take them another month to score another 12 runs.
But for now they are back up to .500 at 5-5.
This has been your Baltimore Orioles Update for tonight.
Oh there’s also this….
Really great contract….
