Go Home If You Don’t

The Solver

The Solver

Last week I went 0 for 8 on DK lineups created. In comical fashion, one of the lineups missed cashing by .12, which was a Tampa Bay stack that I would have never played without the Solver. Considering this was my best lineup, it should give you an idea on how poorly...

Living That Easy Avalon Life

Living That Easy Avalon Life

Sunday was not kind to me. I lost 18 bets in a row and lost all of the TJ Hockenson money. 4 were at the -110 or better. Others were long odds. Go figure. The Stortz family is taking a week in Avalon and it's life in the slow lane. I wake up. Eat breakfast. Read for a...

5 Favorite Right Now Bands

5 Favorite Right Now Bands

Metric - A Canadian band founded in 1998. Emily Haines is the lead singer and the star of the show. I had on their Spotify radio and a song played by them called Gimme Sympathy that I thought was clever and fun to listen to. Most people have heard Gold Guns Girls,...

When Did Breakfast Become 9am?

When Did Breakfast Become 9am?

Breakfast begins at 7am. Earlier if you're a dedicated establishment. However, I see restaurants advertising that they serve breakfast, and they don't open until 9am. This is bad business. My day usually begins at 6:30am. I like to be at work around 7am. When I go to...

Hock @ 19-1 First TD

Hock @ 19-1 First TD

I hit a nice one yesterday to end my horrific gambling Josh Downs-turn. The only way to get out of a gambling hole is to keep betting. This one, along with Evan's over lock last night, gives me some juice to hopefully run back up to 7k which was back in March...

Not Thinking Like a Monk

Not Thinking Like a Monk

I post really funny stuff. New funny posts starting today. Every Wednesday. Every Wednesday. Rain or shine, there is going to be a new funny blog post. (if anyone other than Sam knows where this comes from, good on you.) Seeing Red I hit a nice drive on 10 and had 100...

I’m Attending A Chess Club

I’m Attending A Chess Club

Every Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoon, a bunch of nerds gather in Rittenhouse Square to play chess. I have known about this for a couple of years, but like a kid in the school yard, I've been too scared to go. I've even been in Rittenhouse while they're...

Don’t Judge My Dirty Car and Low Gas Tank

Don’t Judge My Dirty Car and Low Gas Tank

I've always paid for people to work on my car. If you're going to say I didn't put the right kind in, you're wrong, I used 10-W-30. That scene strikes me when I consider flying down a turnpike at 80mph's knowing my life is in my own hands. I trust the professionals...

Boring Back

Boring Back

This is one of those great titles that makes sense in the moment because this post is boring and it's a fantastic contrast against Tom's 'Roaring Back', but it will not make sense in 5 years when I am rereading my old blog posts in isolation. Nearly three weeks...
