The Swamp

Picked my best three: I ended up going with the unders on Miami (64.5), CWS (80.5), and NYM (74.5). Also took Pedro Alvarez at 50:1 to lead MLB in homers. Brian, you put any change down on over/unders yet? I did get down on Baltimore under 79.5 at basically even money. Mulling over some other ones....

If you need some awesome custom reports, I'm your guy. But (thankfully) I don't have to deal with the administration of that shizz.

Gak. I always thought Buzz was a bit of horse's ass. I had no idea that he was highlighting his own horse's ass. One can't really get away with the shaved chest, that bizarre full body shave, look if one has moobs and that gut. And is in such denied reality terrible shape. Honestly, though. That's ...

Awww...does it get sucky? I hope it doesn't get sucky. Charlie finally died so I was looking forward not having to be annoyed by him every episode. I thought the third season was the worst and seasons four through six were quite good. There are a lot of varying opinions on Lost though so your milea...

That's just dumb. Are there people outside of Minnesota who actually think the Gophers should regularly be better than Tubby got them? I thought he did a pretty damn good job. Not top-tier elite, but still pretty damn good. I'm willing to bet that Minnesota won't be getting any better with the new ...

I know...I'm not sure how I feel about it. Apparently, you can watch them in any order you'd like and people will get completely different stories but they'll all make sense. Of course, that show is funny enough where you can have no idea what's going on and you'd have to be dead to not find it fun...

I hadn't realized this, but apparently the upcoming Season Four on Netflix is supposed to interactive (well, sorta).

You gotta hand it to Mitchell Hurwitz. That's either going to be genius or....well, at worst it'll probably still be better than 90 percent of the crap on TV.

Loving Ohio State and Marquette with those numbers.

La Salle's coach always looks like he's grinding out a dookie.

I don't give a fuck. I want to play in a snowstorm in May. Because we can. Because fuck Costa Rica.

Games in Whitehorse Yukon!

Exalt!

Keg & I were talking about that and if/when the US plays Costa Rica in the 2017 hex if the game is scheduled for May we should play that shit in Barrow, AK. Because fuck Costa Rica.

Sorry to all the Swampers whose teams were bounced today. Keg & I had a money line bet on the University of the Streets. That was a loser.

This is a classic N.C. State performance. All that talent and they look like a bunch of idiots.

I just hate Wisconsin so much (yes, more than Duke), so that was really nice to see Henderson get to run his mouth all second half. Now I hope he loses.

Terry Bradshaw is planning a one-man show in Vegas.

I mean, there's no way that isn't a trainwreck, right? I'm going to see if I can wrangle some free tickets and report back to yinz.

I'm betting the house on Wichita State. They play in a real conference at least. Unlike the WCC or the Mountain West.

Yeah, Lions worked him out a month ago too. He's had a few tryouts with different teams. He's working with a big-time kicking coach. He might get a shot somewhere.

A Trey Zeigler team chokes in a big game? What a surprise.

The always-anticipated MLB over/under column Here's an awesome one from some guy who calls himself 'Meat': http://heatnmeat.blogspot.com/2013/02/mlb-overunders.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I'm in almost complete agreement with you on these except Baltimore (though t...

If a county went for the MAC as a majority, it would have been on the map, no? I was thinking that...probably. The Big Ten looms large in the Midwest, but I would have thought at least a couple of rural counties in Ohio and/or Michigan with MAC schools would have gone for the MAC. Isabella County (...

The team one is a little messy but I like the conference one. http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18i2o7ujb6bfipng/original.png The B1G is kinda ridiculous, like the Soviet Bloc. If they would have included the MAC there would have been some small pockets of resistance. Inexplicably they included the f...

This is kinda fascinating. Some bizarre stuff in here, like the fact that San Francisco supports Michigan more than any other NCAA Tournament team (yes, including Cal)

We use this around the house for keeping track of schedules, to-do lists, etc.

I thought this was going to be a thread about a Grantland article.

Real bad news yesterday, as it was announced that Jason Molina of Songs: Ohia and Magnolia Electric Company died at age 39. He had some real demons and made some real incredible music.

Something something something pussies something?

(I don't have an issue with the rule. Of course, it'll get applied incorrectly because NFL officials mostly suck, but the theory of it is OK.)

We're basically fucked if the USMNT get one point or less out of these two games, right? At this point, I'd probably take a draw at home and loss at Azteca. Considering the US has lost 1 home qualifier in the last 32 years (even with some pretty dreadful teams back in the 80s/90s, a loss would be d...

Hope you weren't expecting to knock it out of the park on your first batting practice swing (to torture an analogy).

Just try to enjoy it for what it is for now. You're probably not ready for a serious relationship right now anyway. Just get out there and see people.

The entire 23-man roster combined has as many caps as Landon Donovan. Time to start drinking heavily.

That awkward moment the following morning after a night of drinking and gambling heavily where you look into your wallet to determine how bad the damage is.

So I think I'm finally going to pull the trigger on a road bike to augment my running with some cycling. But I have absolutely no idea where to start as far as what I want. I can share the following: 1) It'll be used solely on the roads/bike trails (paved) in an extremely urban setting for the most ...

I like a few upset possibilities. I watched just about every conference championship game this year and a bunch of semifinals of some of the smaller conferences and came away impressed with a few teams. I'll limit it to my five most likely (in no order) (also, going only #11 or higher here. #10 or #...

Yes, thanks Scottie. It's nice to be back. (That bryan guy sure was an asshole though.)
