I don't think Bruce marshall is with Goldsheet anymore. Personally, I don't think Bruce was/is that good. Write ups were detailed but not very good at picking sides the last several years.I do know that the Goldsheet College keys so far have been spot on.

Them 's da guys
G-Man, baseball has been really hard for me to beat. I worked on that with McCune in the 80's and
it was brutally difficult to beat. I applaud you.
Had a bad year in 21 w/Covid killing all the stats.
This year its the mandatory 3 batters faced by relievers and the stickum is gone for pitchers as well as the infield shift being gone. The reliever part ruined teams holding leads.
Old school managers are lost like Francona who is completely clueless now. He blew 16 games with large early leads this year aline.
Not done yet this year but should get back to even by the end of the season.
Best year was in 2007 at CTG (CappingTheGame) when I made over 18K in bases.. Its still there in my posts.
Probably should take this to the bases forum.

Awesome trip down memory lane. I remember getting up early to watch the tout shows on Saturday mornings, taking notes, enjoying the debates, determining who were full of it and who were just salesmen. Wanted to hear the banter - decide between the knowledge and the BS. Couldn't wait to get my GoldSheet in the mail! I might be naive still, but isn't there argument that the internet services and more published newsletters via the internet really prevent touts from playing both sides? Unless, of course, the same owner goes under two different tout names... Has anyone ever seen Wayne Allyn Root and Chip Chirimbes in the same room?...
Love the thread!
Used to watch Chip Chirimbes when he was on a public access channel in NYC. It was called the A-play with Chip Chirimbes and he always wore a CALIFORNIA Angels hat with the "A" logo. I think he was from Connecticut. This was Obviously before he moved to Las Vegas. He was an unknown (pretty good handicapper back then). Show disappeared and eventually I see him on USA network with Jim Feist, Wayne Root and friends on USA network.

Don't read it if it's such a problem.
Impossible not to...now we have to sort through all the text to get to the reason we are all here in this thread.

It would be nice if you could tell your war stories elsewhere...thanks in advance!

Red Sheet
NFL
88) 0-1
**********
CFB
89) 1-1
88) 1-2

Penn State 41 - ILLINOIS 13 - (12:00 EDT) -- Line opened at Penn State minus 16, and is now minus 14½. A year ago, we were all over the Illini & their super defense, which finished the '22 season as the 3rd best stop unit
in the nation, holding ten opponents to 20 pts, or less, with a spot in the ReliaQuest Bowl, with just one
of their five setbacks coming by more than a TD (late in bowl). They are just 4 pts from an 11-4 ATS
run. But this year's defense is a mirror of LY's edition, with last week's loss to Kansas a perfect
example, allowing the Jayhawks 262 RYs & 539 TYs. The 7th-ranked Lions are a study in efficiency, with current 7-0-1 ATS run (+103 pts). A bit of Nittany payback for LY's overtime setback.
RATING: PENN STATE 89

Kansas State 38 - MISSOURI 20 - (12:00) -- Line opened at Kansas State minus 5½, and is now minus 5. As we have written numerous times, the Wildcats are always ready, or at least it seems that way, having suffered through just one ATS losing campaign over the last 15 years. A week ago, they took on a Troy team
which feasted in the dog role, and promptly issued a 42-13 drubbing that goes along with a 375-76 RY
edge in the early going, with QB Howard an efficient 5/2 in the early going. The Tigers are annually figured as an upcoming force, but have had only 2 winning seasons over the last 8 years, & are in off
a 17-pt ATS loss in narrow SU escape vs Middle Tennessee. Lay the reasonable 5 pts in this game.
RATING: KANSAS STATE 89

Kansas 56 - NEVADA 17 - (10:30) -- Line opened at Kansas minus 28, and is still minus 28. Seems an impossibility that the Jayhawks can be listed as a 4-TD chalk over any other major foe. After all, they've been the
ultimate whipping boys over the last decade posting such straightup records as 3-9, 3-9, 0-12, 2-10,
1-11, 3-9, 3-9, 0-9, & 2-10, before things began to drastically change with LY's 6-7 log which did not wind up in winning fashion (0-4 SU & ATS). However, any thoughts of a "one year wonder" has been quashed with 2-0 start that includes last week's 14½ cover over Illinois. Nevada is faltering badly, with
a 99-20 pt deficit thus far (33-6 loss to Idaho LW, with a 463-266 yd deficit). Can't buck logic here.
RATING: KANSAS 88

MISSISSIPPI 34 - Georgia Tech 31 - (7:30) -- Line opened at Mississippi minus 14, and is now minus 20. Sure the Yellow Jackets have had many a preseason loaded with anticipation of a winning campaign, with the
vast majority falling short, only 2 winning seasons over the previous 8 years. They've scrapped the
triple option, that at least provided overland excitement at times. A year ago, however, things may have
changed, when Brent Key took over as head coach for the final 8 games, posting a non losing 4-4
record, including road wins over Pittsburgh, Virginia Tech, & North Carolina, as 21½, 4, & 21 pt
underdogs. Visitor has covered 11-of-14 OleMiss games, & Rebels have Alabama up next week.
RATING: GEORGIA TECH 88

COLORADO 55 - Colorado State 22 - (10:00) -- Line opened at Colorado minus 23, and is now minus 23½. Oh, what a story this has been, with many a so-called "expert" bucking the possibility of Deion actually pulling it
off, namely taking a downtrodden team, & turning it into a power, with the infusion of a ton of lesser
light talent. But the scoffs have certainly been proven wrong. Buffs, off a 1-11 SU, 2-10 ATS and now
stand at #18 in the nation, with 24 & 19 pt covers, led by a brilliant debut by Sanders (the younger): 903 PYs & 6/0. Any weakness has to be an overland game, which has produced only 55 & 58 yds thus far. However, the Rams ("O" pts in 12-of-13 games) simply do not figure to stay with them..
RATING: COLORADO 88

NEW YORK GIANTS 30 - Arizona 15 - (4:05) -- Line opened at NY Giants minus 4½, and is now minus 5½. Quite a shutout the Giants pitched in last week's total embarrassment hosting Cowboy, with the final score of
40-0 just about what NY deserved, the chant of "it could have been even worse" hardly applies. Not
quite what was expected. On the other side, the Cards again came so close to ending their 8-game
slide, altho new HC Gannon is in decent company, as noted in Pointwise. The 13th straight coach to
lose, or tie in his Cardinal head coaching debut. A remarkable stat, to be sure. Giants need the proper
tonic to regain their step, off LW's outcome, with the Cards providing such an elixer. Back on track.
RATING: NEW YORK GIANTS 88

NEAR CHOICES (Rated 87): Duke, Florida St, Texas A&M, Notre Dame

NFL: KC, NY Jets, Pittsburgh

This year its the mandatory 3 batters faced by relievers and the stickum is gone for pitchers as well as the infield shift being gone. The reliever part ruined teams holding leads.
Old school managers are lost like Francona who is completely clueless now. He blew 16 games with large early leads this year aline.
Not done yet this year but should get back to even by the end of the season.
Best year was in 2007 at CTG (CappingTheGame) when I made over 18K in bases.. Its still there in my posts.

Bob Melvin is lost too

That's the beauty of this internet thing (as opposed to in person) - you get to pick out what you want to hear/read, IGNORE all else..... getting stressed by something you voluntarily read is dumb - yet millions do it.

I get it Jake. It wasn't intentional to clutter the thread. I responded to Kevn because he was in this at one time as a capper on TV/Newsletters

That being said - maybe you feel the same way about seeing some plays and writeups by posters?

Im disagreeing in the main forum with LadyANN. I posted a thread there...

Go read that'. If you agree, then post something there about it.
Thanks

Appreciate the classy response, G-Man.

Not a huge deal...If Buzzkill is ok with it(which he seems to be), so be it.
