NFL Super Bowl Exacta: Ride With YABO
I’ve been wrestling with the NFL (ATS) all season long. Favorites dominated early on and really never let it turn back. And, fundamentally being a contrarian who tends to find every reason to take the points, it was a struggle to say the least. I also had a Bengals Super Bowl future to start the season. And then sprinkled… Read more

Fran McCaffery … IT’S TIME TO GO!
I’ve officially had enough. This has been bubbling for quite some time. Years, really. There were some fantastic seasons. Some fantastic runs. Some fantastic players. A National Player of the Year (should have been 2x, but neither here nor there). And let me go back to the fantastic runs comment. I mean in the regular… Read more

George McCaskey is… Making Me Happy?? Ben Johnson’s Bears Intro
I can’t believe the title here either, don’t worry. Since Sunday’s news, I’ve mostly just felt excitement about finally landing the head coach EVERYONE was hoping for this offseason; but today, after watching our new coach’s introductory press conference, a new feeling crept in. Gratitude. For as long as I can remember, the Bears family… Read more

I Am Asking for your Trust: MichiganMan’s Picks of the Day (23-14-1)
I am sorry. Absolutely smoked yesterday to the tune of 3-7… gross. Let’s cut the card in half today and see if we can find the sweet spot to get back on track. A few bad bounces in the NHL from being even (which makes it worse that today’s picks are all CBB), but here… Read more

MichiganMan’s POD (20-7-1): The IceMan???
Let me start with, I cannot believe that I had to watch Ohio State win the CFP last night. A year after the peak of my Michigan fandom, and they come in and ruin it all. I will still, in face of the haters, remain that Ryan Day is a very overrated coach, but bringing… Read more

Ben Johnson, Welcome Home Big Boy!
Rewrote John Denver’s “Thank God I’m a Country Boy” up through the first chorus as “Thank God BJ Is A Bear”… If unfamiliar, click on the song title to listen. Well life as a Bear ain’t really laid back. Goes oh so close, not so close, heart attack. Georgie-boy’s loose, the fans are gonna craaaack.… Read more

It’s BJ Day in Chicago
Still in disbelief. Had one meeting today and it was at 2:30 right when Adam Schefter tweeted out that Ben Johnson will be the next Chicago Bears Head Coach. I am so glad. Relieved. So many great words to express my feelings on a day known as “Blue Monday”. This “holiday” (not MLK day) is… Read more

MichiganMan’s Picks of the Day (17-5-1): The enemy of my enemy is my friend…
I cannot promise this will continue, but we are SEEING the board right now. After saying that, I can almost promise today is a for sure 0-5. Disgusted that I have to watch Ohio State and Notre Dame play tonight, I really hope nobody wins. But my hatred runs deeper for the scum in Columbus,… Read more

Cakes’ NFL Divisional Round Sunday Preview
Hot off the press after the Commanders’ upset over the Lions and I am 2-3 after one day of picks. Not bad, but not the worst – I have nobody to blame but myself for the Lions jinx. I knew the Lions were beat to hell on defense, but I thought the moment would be… Read more
