Ha, that'd be pretty funny. Kind of like the old Seinfeld episode where Kramer calls Jerry Even Steven.

Yup. My favorite show of all time. I can recite every line while watching but still makes me laugh. George as marine biologist is my favorite of all time. " like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli"

My favorite show as well. Marine biologist was easily one of the best episodes of all time.

What is that, a Titleist? A hole in one, huh?

Lmao. A classic. I was listening to Jason Alexander on stern.....he said that scene was put in last minute.....one take and done.

Also didnt know he hated working with the woman who played Susan. He told a story where Larry David called him and said " George is gonna get engaged to Susan this season" and Jason replied " who are you gonna get to play George"

Can't believe that as last minute. Ended up hilarious.

Ha...you amateur!

I'm on a 10-33 run at the moment. In fact, if anyone on this forum would like to make this bet with me, I'd be more than happy to do so. I'll bet anyone here that I'll post 100 picks and won't win more than 35 of them. I'm not talking about crazy ass +1500 longshots either...just regular sides and totals.

That's how bad I've been sucking lately...110% confident I won't even crack 35%. Anything that can go wrong will, unless you're fading. Then you'll discover the wonder of being on the right side every time. I have Arizona State -3 for the 2h (making them a pick for the game). They just went up by a TD with seven mins to go, and I can't wait to see how they blow the game.

Whatever the fuck is causing this, I literally would spend a weekend with Finch in Vegas if it meant the opportunity to strangle my shit luck to death right now. But...any takers?

If this is real, I'll take it.

Got faith in you.

My favorite scene ever. Close second was Kramer downing that beer with a cig in his mouth with that accountant and wool sweater. " I'm hip to the whole scene man"

Ha, that's another classic. "Here's to feeling good all the time".

Curb is better than Seinfeld. Had the liberties of being on HBO.

Basically an R-rated Seinfeld with Larry David. Although Seinfeld was the original.

Love Curb. Read a month or two ago that we may get more episodes.

I can honestly say I've never seen Curb....and I have HBO

Name your price and we can tangle.

34 or fewer, I win. 35 or more and you win. Out of 100 picks...sides and totals only. I'll even start my own "I suck worse than anyone else" tracking thread.

At the rate I'm going, I'll start off with an 0-66 run to wrap this up by next week.

 

[PatsFan1283]

I'd say you are a nice fav to win > 35 and likely just hit a bad run. Don't really want to take advantage if you are tilting.

But if you see it as some kind of insurance or reverse-jinx then I'll bet it if you want.

The plays are just plays posted in here for multiple sports I assume? Not sure how long it takes you to reach 100.

Consider yourself lucky cause you can watch it now. It really is a great show.

It isn't for everyone because some of the humor is so dry but if you like Seinfeld then you will like it.

Sorry you are on a streak from Hell that resembles a Halloween horror flick. Unreal L for you last night. I hope things improve for all of us in here in rapid fashion!

Vitt,
In Minny’s favor:
- Kill is widely beloved and if a team is ever fired up to get a win for a coach it will be for this guy
- Minny won last year
- Minny decent home dog lately 4-1 ats and 7-0 ATS as home dogs of 8+
- Michigan on a 4-9 ATS run as an away favorite
- Michigan only had 230 yards of O vs. Sparty
- U of M’s Jake Rudock was QB for Iowa last season and was 10-for-19, 89 yards, 0-1 TD-INT vs. the Minnesota defense
Reasons to be worried:
-Michigan’s defense is tops in the nation in scoring and total defense and are yielding just 2.1 ypc. Minny has to run to win: Minny has dropped 16 straight SU and 8 straight ATS when not getting at least 100 rushing yards
- Michigan has a 83-41points edge in their last 6 games
- Minny only 2 ATS wins on the year
- The Last time Minny won 2 straight in this series was in the 1960’s

Line at 13 at Heritage and with my local, not really sure I’d want it at less than 2 TD’s.

I enjoy your work Capping work Ace.
