JD’s Picks – Ready for the NBA

Ok, Ok, so my hockey picks weren’t all the best. Believe it or not, I didn’t start doing poorly until I started posting them. So now, with the NBA, I hope I don’t jinx myself again. I’ll give it a go for about a week or two, and if I start to slide…well, I won’t. I don’t care to take the time to back and figure out how many units I am down, I am going to estimate it at -4*’s. So I am starting out in the hole. It’s all good though.

Tonight, with a small slate, I’ve got a few picks that I feel pretty good about.

  • Sea/NJ Sea +3 2*
  • Orl/Bos Orl -1 1*
  • Parlay Sea+5/Orl-.5 1*(bought the hooks for the parlay)

Now, let’s go and take the man down!
No picks on the MNF, I’ll leave that to Stonecold. But I’m hoping he is at least pulling for the Panthers!

Butterfingers

I had planned on starting my hype-machine for Steve Slaton for the Heisman tonight. But instead, here we are, 3 min. into the 3rd quarter, and he has put the ball on the ground not once, but twice. And the second resulted in a TD for Louisville. Who the heck is slathering the ball with Vaseline tonight. There have been 3 TO’s in the 3rd quarter alone (and remember, we’re only 3 min. in). In addition, the first half wasn’t much better. It seemed like every kick had a mishandle on the receiving end. Slickery, Slickery…..

btw…..I had WVU and the over 56 tonight. There, that ought to assure that it’s a loser now! ha!

Somebody Give Oklahoma a Cookie

I gotta tell ya, nothing gets by that steel trap of a mind out in Oklahoma. It seems as though they have decided to ban student athletes from working at the dealership that cost them two players for the upcoming season, including their starting QB Rhett Bomar. My question is, why did it take this long?! Surely the investigation into how a college kid made $18k working 5 hours a week this summer couldn’t have dragged on this long. But, they can now announce to the world and shout from the rooftops that they are TOUGH ON CRIME!…oh yeah, TOUGH ON RECRUITING VIOLATIONS! Everyone and their cousin knows that there is more going on there, or they would have shoved this under the rug. The very fact that they were willing to give up their #2 guy to keep from having an investigation from the NCAA is very telling.

NBA Draft Review

This is what I remember from last night, and why I no longer watch ESPN.

Stephen A Smith Blah Blah Blah…..I’m Captain Obvious….. Blah Blah Blah…..I’m loud and obnoxious……. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah…..I have the intelligence of a rock…… Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah…..Can I have a cookie?…. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah…..Do I ever shut the hell up?….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah…..Will I ever have a coherent thought?….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah…..NOOOOO!…. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah….. Blah Blah Blah…..

And Stuart Scott, will you stop, JUST STOP with the SLANG! OR just use it right! Or better yet, act like you have a real vocabulary and stop with the “It’s just my baby daddy” shit! Holy crap. I heard someone else say it and it needs repeating…Stuart Scott has the street cred of Carlton Banks

JJ Redick Busted for DUI

Excuse me, but what the hell is JJ Redick doing less than a month, 2 weeks actually, from the NBA Draft, drinking and driving!??! I….I mean….What do you……That’s just stupid! I hereby declare that we will be awarding a SU.com Dumbass of the Week award. The problem here is, who gets it this week? Obviously, Redick would be choice #1, but then you remember just yesterday Ben “Kneival” Roethlisberger demonstrating his human torpedo act. Some folks just aren’t very smart. Leave us a comment and tell us who ought to be the winner this week!
