Betting Dork: 2011 NFL Team Win Totals Part Deux w VR, Fantasy Football Advanced Metrics Sleepers

 The look on our faces when Gill & VR said they'd never seen The Big Lebowski....

LOL...and yet I've seen Boyz n the Hood roughly 50 times.

Somethin' wrong?  ...Yeah.   It's just too bad you don't know what it is.... "brotha"

LOVE IT!  ...watched a few minutes of it this weekend.

As  P-1 listener, I would also love to hear some Basewinner's hockey talk.  ....of course, I might be the ONLY listener.  But would appreciate it anyway. 

 I would love nothing more than a horse racing podcast

Excellent use of P-1! That is old school right there. And will definitely have Basewinner have a go at hockey. But only because I'm anxious to hear about how the actual line compares to his Puckwinner line.

Big Sack! Dude, always appreciate you listening and giving your feedback.

I have nothing against horse racing. In fact, the lengthiest single one-guest Betting Dork we've ever done was the one previewing this year's Derby w Marco (who hit the longshot winner, by the way). I actually am fascinated by how folks cap it and am committed to segments prior to the Triple Crown races, no matter what. I actually remember when those races mattered to a huge percentage of our population.

But, sadly, what I alluded to on this week's show was not me giving my opinion but rather me just relating the numbers. The two least listened-to pods I did in the entire 2011 calendar year were on hockey and horse racing. And I mean, by far the least listened to.

It certainly could be my shortcomings. But it has nothing to do w the guests whatsoever. They were all great. I think if we got on and whispered the word "football" over and over for 40 minutes straight, it'd get more listens than shows focusing on those sports. Okay, maybe not, but u get the idea. Ultimately, while I have one eye on doing the best shows possible, I also have to bow down to the numbers because they don't lie. So, yes to hockey and horse racing in the future, but in doses.

 Mr. Alexander,

How are you doing sir?

What are your thoughts on Stanford to win the BCS Title Game at +2500? Do you see any value there?

Also, what are your thoughts on the Green Bay Packers to win the Super Bowl at +700? Do you see any value there? Looking forward to your thoughts on both topics. Thanks.

Mr. Mendez

Howzit Gill - Been a while.  Wasn't sure how to contact you so I'll hit you up on this thread.

Just wanted to say thanks for posting your College Football records for last year's season.  Yes, I do remember the low volume approach and many, many winners.  Great record indeed. 

Additionally, can you provide the overall record for the Bowl Season too?  

Many thanks!  Keep up the great Podcast.

Mr. Mendez

I think there's lots of value on the Packers at +700, Mr. Mendez, but while I love Stanford, it's tough to see them going all the way this season, no matter how juicy that number may look.
