Sports Media Discussion (RIP ESPN) - Page 10 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I'll do you one better: I'll write it in one paragraph. I think

Christina Aguilera's national anthem will be more than 1:54 (-130) and she'll hold "brave" for more than six seconds (-130) because her new boyfriend seems seedy and I bet he'll wager on both of those things and then coerce her. no idea on this one

I think Fox will show Jerry Jones during the game more than three times (+115) pretty sure under 3

and mention Brett Favre more than 2½ times (-200). again, I'm pretty sure it was under but maybe I'm deaf

I think there will be less than 45 seconds left when the Gatorade dump happens (-145), he got this right

the color of the Gatorade will be yellow (-120), wrong, it was orange

and the defense will do the dumping (-125). no clue

I think a Steeler will mimic Aaron Rodgers' championship belt gimmick (even.) no

I don't think a punt will hit the scoreboard (-2,500). yes

I think the game will get over a 46 rating (even.) guessing yes

And I absolutely, positively think that a Packers player will attempt a Lambeau Leap (+115).no

above are Bill's weird props that he specifically mentioned in his SB mail bag the other day. correct my bolded if I'm wrong, and a few I don't know and might have missed due to canadian broadcasting.

pretty sure all their "serious" props were discussed between Sal and BS in the podcast but like loosekanen said above, they were wrong on the Kuhn one and they were definitely wrong on the Heath Miller o39.5 yds or whatever it was.

reading Simmons is a great introduction to how sports books make money

Every time I hear Chad Millman speak, I'm convinced he knows less about his job than anyone in the world.

He's either trolling us or is one of the dumbest people in the world.

wat?

seriously, you hang out with some of the crustiest folks in the world that do this for a living, write a supposedly knowledgeable book about them, and you still do a "piece" like this and have the audacity to look yourself in the mirror in the morning.

Just kill yourself, Chad.

Lol, just watched one from earlier in the season where he said to keep an eye on the Knicks because they were in the top 10 in defensive efficiency

J. McCarthy (I assume Jenny), who provides lines for a bunch of newspapers, is the GOAT. I only had to go back two days to find this one:

Quote:

The Lakers are 0-4 vs. the spread their last four games when playing on two days of rest. Los Angeles is also 1-10 vs. the spread its last 11 Thursday games. Boston is 11-3-1 vs. the spread its last 15 games when playing on two days of rest. Boston is also 25-10-2 vs. the spread its last 37 games following a loss against the spread. The Celtics are 6-2-1 vs. the spread their last nine home games in this series. Take Boston -3 for another Best Bet winner.

They're just about that bad every single day.

SG casually dropped a "Bill Macy" in today's trade value column.

He dropped this nugget in his column after discussing Nicolas Batum "Just kidding, Portland. Jokes! Come on! Loosen up! No, don't start the 150-post thread killing me on Blazers Edge!" Odds for him reading TZ are now off the board.
