No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

The NFL is now dead to me

by @ 21:59. Filed under Sports.

I was going to post a expletive-filled tirade, but the title says absolutely, positively every fucking thing I have to say. 0-2 ATS, 1-1 O/U, 1-1 straight-up (with the -1 part in the game I cared about). The Inveterate Gambler will be back in September, minus a couple knees.

Bring on Spring Training!

NFL Conference Championship weekend

by @ 11:09. Filed under Sports.

We’re at the penultimate Sunday in the NFL season, and we need a sweep to end either half of the formula above .500 after a 2-2 week ATS (and straight-up) and an extra-chunky 1-3 on the over/unders. Oh well; let’s hit Bodog one more time…

NY Giants @ Green Bay (-8/over-41.5) – The forecast is in; cold and not windy. The Game That Cannot Be Named, here we come! Bonus prediction; your final will be Green Bay 31, New York 13.

San Diego @ New England (-14/over-47.5) – Injuries are going to catch up to the Bolts this weekend as the Cheating Pats set a record for most consecutive wins in a season.

Reality check – by the numbers

Time for some cold, hard facts of life to intrude on some delusions beyond my own (I’ll get back to those shattered dreams in a while, and I’ll come back here):

– Cold, hard fact #1A (from Bruce): John McCain’s vote total in the 2000 South Carolina Republican Presidential primary – 238,000. John McCain’s vote total in the 2008 South Carolina Republican Presidential primary – 143,000 (with 3% of the precincts left to report)

– Cold, hard fact #1B (same source): Total number of votes cast in the 2000 South Carolina Republican Presidential primary – 556,000. Total number of votes cast in the 2008 South Carolina Republican Presidential primary (again, with 3% of the precincts left to report) – 431,000.

– Cold, hard fact #2 (from Jim Geraghty; a special for the gang at On the Borderline) – Mitt Romney’s non-Mormon vote total in Nevada – 12,524. Ron Paul’s vote total in Nevada – 6,077.

Somewhere in my feed reader, there’s a compilation of the total number of votes to Romney, McCain and Mike Huckabee. Let’s just say that the leader isn’t who the presstitutes would lead you to believe.
