The Mighty Quinn in 2014

[FGators]

I got the paper today and he wasn't in it. He did have the Broncos and 49ers in the NFL picks section with the 49ers as his best bet.


His predictions are

Broncos 40, Patriots 27
Seahawks 26, 49ers 25

Why he has the 49ers as a best bet yet losing is beyond me when he has the Broncos winning by almost two touchdowns.

thanks , no daily play from him on 1/16 or 1/17 , nobody knows why MQ does what he does

If mediocrity was money, Hondo would be a millionaire.
Mr. Aitch continued his so-so season last week, going 2-1-1 with the Divisional spreads and 2-2 in the over/unders, which left him one-under even on his postseason cumulative total.
As for Sunday’s title tilts, he expects to be half right with the following:
Patriots-Broncos: Omaha!
First of all, don’t put too much faith in the home-field advantage. Now that marijuana is legal in Colorado, Bronco fans are much more laid back because of frequent trips to the new Mile High ganja and mangia concession stands. Also, don’t waste your money investing in Peyton Manning’s rep as playoff bust. Since 2004, he has the same pedestrian postseason record as The Great Brady, 8-7. The only difference is Manning won a ring during that time.
A quick check under the Hoodie reveals why Belichick went to the Blount-force running game — Brady has no one to throw the ball to other than miniature WRs Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola. Contrast that pedestrian pair with Manning’s fleet of sticky-fingered playmakers and you can see why the big-play Bronco offense was like a broken record when it came to breaking records this season.
This should be easy. The Patriots struggled to beat the god-awful Browns, Bills and Texans, and were fortunate to split with the dreadful Jets. The Year of the Horse begins Jan. 31; ride those Broncos to MetLife: 41-27.
Another prediction: If Belichick sticks with the running game and it doesn’t work, the following postgame quote will be heard from Gisele: “My husband cannot f—ing hand the ball off and run it at the same time.”
Aaron Hernandez, who has been placed on the PUP-LUP List (Physically Unable to Play, Locked Up in Prison), won’t receive a ring if the Pats win the Super Bowl. However, rumor has it his teammates voted to buy him a commemorative set of chain-linked ankle bracelets. ....Omaha!...................................................
49ers-Seahawks: If you love hatred, this is the game for you. The Niners again are facing a team built in their image, although unlike in last week’s punks-on-parade battle with the Panthers, the Seahawks can back up the talk. Russell Wilson has been less than sharp lately, but he has Marshawn Lynch, aka Beast Mode, the Legion of Boom and the 12th Man to bail him out. Watch for another loathers’ quarrel to break out during the coaches’ postgame handshake. Seahawks 24-13

 

[BEHONEST!!]

What's the record? If you're going to do this, do it right. This is not a bash, thanks for your efforts so far.

 

[BEHONEST!!]

Ok, I see it nvm my bad.

 

[sniperpicks]

Mighty had no play on Sunday and likes the Brooklyn Nets -1.5 to beat KNICKS and NYK is home team, on Monday 1-20-14. The deficit is 135 sirignanos ..................................................... so MQ claims NO PLAY yet we have reports of him backing SF to lose by 1. The MQ , Hondo, and LANG all had SF covering/winning yesterday, and they LOST , so I am adding a LOSS to his record but not to the $$$$$$$ , his record is roughly 4-10-3

 

[sniperpicks]

EARLY GAME DUE TO MLK HOLIDAY , 2pm eastern start I think , I got NYK on dog ML and +105 .................... dbanana0-9

 

[BEHONEST!!]

Good luck! I'll be on the same side.

 

[BEHONEST!!]

I went back and did a little research on MQ. If he is reporting his wins/losses correctly each day I have him at 57-47 from 9/5-present. I could've messed up a bit, however it doesn't really seem profitable to fade this guy. Maybe someone can fill me in here...

 

[sniperpicks]

fade at your own risk, I tail him sometimes also, especially when he is opposite LANG , the MQ is a great MLB fade, I like fading him , I often double down if he wins, he is not very good , people have faded him for many years

 

[FGators]

Personally don't think you should add that lost to his record; he is forced to pick every game each week against the spread but he had no column yesterday. I believe the record should be only column picks.

 

[sniperpicks]

Even Mighty knows to pick against the Knicks these days!



Mighty hit with the Nets (-1 1/2) on Monday and likes Wright State -7.5 on Tuesday. The deficit is 85 sirignanos. ................................................. I altered his record to reflect both NFL plays only because he won with denver and lost on SF so i should credit both or none , he was opposite LANG on the Denver game so for those like me who fade BOTH but fade LANG as priority then you can take note. When MQ and LANG are opposite I tail MQ . Thats my policy, he missed a couple other days with no play at all in 2014, so i think counting the 2 NFL non-blog 1-1-0 plays sunday puts him at 6-10-3 , thats 19 plays in 20 days of 2014 . For my tracking purposes , if I see a documented and verified MQ play then i will count it. Its rare for him to do that. Sometimes he will reply to someones letter in his blog and take a side but not make it a real tout.

Mighty shrinks the defecit by oh such a small amount.




Billy (The Burglar) Lavelle, bartender to the stars at MaryAnn’s Castaways Tavern in Bradenton, Fla., has already made up his mind on which team he’ll root for in SB48:
“Now that the football team from New England has been dispatched once again, maybe we can stop with this myth that they are some kind of dominant team. That makes 10 years since they won a Super Bowl. Yet they, and the press, and their fans act like they win ever year.


“The Giants and Steelers have each won two since the Rats have won any, and since I wasn’t sure who I was going to root for in the Super Bowl, Richard Sherman, for his behavior last Sunday, just made that choice easier for me.
“Go Broncos! Plus my Mom is a Manning fan, so there ya go.”


Someone needs to inform BILLY that there is 1 NFL team thats won 10 or more games in regular season every year for like 10 years



Mighty hit with Wright State (-8) on Tuesday and likes Saint Joseph’s -9.5 on Wednesday. The deficit is 35 sirignanos.

 

[sniperpicks]

7-11-3 record for the MQ ............. I didn't fade him last night because his play was same time as LANG and I didn't want to go 1-1 , [h=4]hno: Oh! Mighty is so close to getting back in the black, but, alas, a miss pushes the deficit up!
[/h]

Jeffrey Lynch called: “Any extra Super Bowl tickets?”
“Yeah, right, how many you want?” Mighty kidded Jeffrey.
Jeffrey made Mighty a super offer. “My wife (Sigal) and I own a bus, which we rent for events like weddings, proms, casino trips, parties on wheels, and for you or any of your readers, a trip to the Super Bowl.”


“A bus to the Super Bowl?” asked Mighty.
“Mighty, the game’s in New Jersey. Our bus is a coach bus, with wraparound seating, TV’s, bathrooms, multi-bars, LED lighting, stereo system. The bus is 45 feet long. We call it ‘The Ultimate Party Bus.’
“Here’s my phone number, Mighty. B and Z Transportation, 516-524-7444 (bzlimos.com). If any of your readers mention reading this in your column, I’ll donate a percentage to the Wounded Warriors.” .................................................................
Mighty missed with Saint Joseph’s (-9 1/2) on Wednesday and likes Ohio State -11 on Thursday. The deficit is 90 sirignanos.

 

[sniperpicks]

[h=4]Aaaaaaand just like that the early 2014 deficit is back up to triple digits. Way to go, MQ!
[/h]

“Hey, Mighty, who is Shipwreck (Kiss Of Death) Sharples picking in the Super Bowl? I hope it’s not the Broncos. Good luck. Johnny Rogo, Glen Cove, N.Y.”

Shipwreck Sharples has already called and requested a day next week when he’ll give all of Mighty’s loyal readers the winner of the Super Bowl. Not! This guy never wins, so just go opposite his pick.




Mighty missed with Ohio State (-10 1/2) on Thursday and likes Manhattan -10 on Friday. The deficit is 145 sirignanos.

 

[sniperpicks]

Mighty hit with Manhattan (-10 1/2) on Friday and likes Iowa State on Saturday. The deficit is 95 sirignanos.

 

[sniperpicks]

Mighty missed with Iowa State (-9 1/2) on Saturday and likes Mass on Sunday. The deficit is 150 sirignanos. ........................... I assume he means UMASS and -15.5 to squash fordham

It appears Maxim's psychics and MQ have something in common: Bad football picks!
Back in October, Maxim magazine asked three psychics for their insight on Super Bowl 48. So, how’d they fare?
Hilary Parry: “I pulled the Judgement card, which kind of has this Christian iconography about it. So I’m going with the Saints.”
Thomas John: “I have a strong feeling that it’s going to be a team from the West. It’ll be the Broncos.”


Laura “Astrobabe”: “I see the South rising again. I’m definitely getting a Southern area and something about horses. I also see the Patriots.”
What’s the weather going be like? Laura: “It’s going to be sunny, a little breezy, maybe a little cooler than the 60s, but not too cold.”
What Super Bowl commercial will be the most talked about?
Laura: “Something about an insurance company. It will involve animals or dogs.”
Mighty hit with UMass (-17) on Sunday and likes Towson -10 on Monday. The deficit is 100 sirignanos. ........................................ 9-13-3 record

 

[sniperpicks]

[h=4]Mighty shrinks the deficit again but, in this brand new year of 2104, hasn't been able to get over the hump (this despite his being WELL over the hill!)
[/h]

Finally, Shipwreck (Kiss Of Death) Sharples’ Super Bowl pick, so we can all go opposite, and make a ton of money:
“Hi Mighty Quinn. Shipwreck Sharples and his Bronco buddy Jimmy Gabriele have been Bronco fans since 1975. No one at Bobby Dee’s in Jersey City want to see the Broncos win, especially the Giants fans, because they will have to listen to Shipwreck till next year. I’m sure Jimmy and I will have to listen to them if Seattle wins. Jimmy says ELI will show PEYTON where Jimmy Hoffa is buried and where Papa John’s is in Hoboken! Broncos, 23-20.........this guy might be worse than MQ, he has Denver covering the -2 and under 47. Lets see if MQ fades this SHIPWRECK guy or decides to be Gilligan to shipwrecks "Skipper".


“It’s Mr. Peyton Manning MVP, 3 touchdowns, Broncos, 33-23! Tell that to Johnny Rogo, Glen Cove. For the first half, I’ll be at Bobby Dee’s, the second half at St. Joseph’s Catholic Club, in case I need to say a prayer. Shipwreck.”
Mighty hit with Towson (-10) on Monday and likes Wichita State -20.5 on Tuesday. The deficit is 50 sirignanos.

 

[sniperpicks]

[h=4]This one is no 'Shocker': MQ picks Wichita State and loses! Get it? See what we did there? Oh, never mind. Memo To Mighty Quinn and Shipwreck (Kiss Of Death) Sharples. From Poor JR and Kenny The Lip:
[/h]
“Please pick the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Bowl. We bet on the Denver Broncos to win the Super Bowl. I don’t want to go into your past record and make you look bad in print. Let’s just say you’ll both be doing us a favor. We’ll owe you one. Maybe we can do you a favor in the future. Thanks guys.”


Joe Knows? Our old Rosedale buddy, Joe Loughran, now producer for New York Jets Radio at ESPN Radio, thinks he has the winner: “Denver by 2 touchdowns.”
Little Nicky’s Pick: Nicholas Blette has been a Seattle Seahawks fan his whole life. He eats, breathes, sleeps Seahawks. Okay, Nicholas is only 7 years old, but he guarantees a Seahawks win on Sunday.
Mighty missed with Wichita State (-20) on Tuesday and likes Eastern Michigan -7 on Wednesday. The deficit is 105 sirignanos. ....................... 10-14-3 record
