Everyone Should Go Camping At Least Once. Here’s Why

Since when have you slept under the stars and prepared dinner over an open fire? You never know, you might just fall in love with the presence of nature all over again and decide to make it an annual excursion! Here are just some of the reasons why everyone should go find a tent, get the right equipment from ecogearfx.com, and go camping at least once in their lives.

It gives you the chance to escape city life

What exactly is the objective of going camping in the first place? Why? Because, in contrast to many other types of vacations, it allows you to do virtually nothing for a week. It is a wonderful opportunity to relax and unwind. Having your tent and campground ready means you will not have to worry about cleaning, laundromat visits, putting on your best outfit for a night on the town, grocery shopping, or any of the other things that seem to consume so much of our time on a daily basis in our contemporary lives. In addition, it provides an opportunity for you to switch off your smartphone and other modern gadgets and simply relax and enjoy the moment with family and friends.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 8 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-11 against the spread last week.

I had another rough stretch during the early games on Saturday, but the Pac-12 pulled me above .500 and above.

Iowa had the worst defeat of the week when they were smoked by Purdue at home. It was surprising and few really had that one which would have been a huge moneyline win.

There aren’t any championship-altering games this week. We have some rivalry games like USC vs Notre Dame, which should be a fun watch.

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 8 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (October 23rd, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 7 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 8-6 against the spread in Week 6.

I had a rough start with my noon game picks, but was perfect in the afternoon slate of games. I want to thank the Cowboys for scoring a touchdown in overtime instead of just trying to get a field goal.

There are only 13 games on the schedule due to six teams being out on bye.

There are three games with double-digit point spreads. Will any of the favorites cover the large spreads?

How will Seattle QB Geno Smith fare in his second start with the team?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 7 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 7

There is a stacked list of teams on bye this week.

The Buffalo Bills, Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Pittsburgh Steelers, Los Angeles Chargers and the Jacksonville Jaguars are all on bye this week.

You could have multiple spots that need filled this week since the bye teams are loaded with automatic-start talents. We give a few suggestions on streaming options.

Can Cardinals QB Kyler Murray racked up a monster fantasy week against the Texans on Sunday?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 7 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Kyler Murray of the Arizona Cardinals.

2021-22 College Basketball – All-Name Team

We lost a few players on last year’s College Basketball All-Name Team (I wish the best of luck in the future to guys like Goodnews Kpegeol). We have a lot of returning faces due to the NCAA giving another year of eligibility to athletes due to the pandemic, but we do have a decent amount of new names on this year’s list.

We picked through every Division-I college basketball roster and a few smaller schools for our list. This year’s class is strong and is a better version of last year’s All-Name Team.

My name is Bobby Roberts, so I am often jealous of people with unique names. The most unique thing about my name is that I was not born ‘Robert Roberts’, Bobby is my given name. I don’t know too many grown men named Bobby.

This list consists of names that we wished he had and ones we find humorous. Enjoy!

2021 NCAA Football – Week 7 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-13-1 against the spread last week.

My bets were looking great…but then Oklahoma replaced QB Spencer Rattler with Caleb Williams. and that was a turning point. How the hell did Texas lose that game?

Kentucky has a huge ‘prove it’ game against Georgia. Both teams are undefeated, but the Wildcats are far less respected. Can Kentucky surprise everyone and keep it close against Georgia?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 7 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (October 16th, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 6 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 9-6-1 against the spread in Week 5.

The bye weeks have started and we will only have fourteen games on the schedule. It feels like a fuller slate of games since we have a London game and an important game on Monday Night Football.

We saw a few potential season-shifting injuries last week. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson injured a finger on his throwing hand and will be out until December. The Giants also have injury concerns with QB Daniel Jones, who is currently sitting in concussion-protocol.

Can the Steelers cover against the Geno Smith-led Seattle Seahawks on Sunday Night Football?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 6 of the 2021 NFL season.

2021 NFL Fantasy Football Start/Sit – Week 6

Are you ready for the start of the dreaded bye weeks?

The Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints, New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers all have the week off. Luckily, these teams aren’t full of fantasy football studs.

Even though there aren’t a ton of automatic starts on those teams, you may need to fill a flex spot or a defense this week. We give a few suggestions on streaming options.

Which Dallas Cowboys players are worth a start against the Patriots on Sunday?

Here is our Fantasy Football Sit/Start for Week 6 of the 2021 NFL season…and enjoy our awesome MS Paint masterpiece of QB Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Sweetbob’s Hipster Music Playlist: FALL 2021

I used to do these music playlists every month, but real life stuff got in the way and then the virus bastard hit and killed the music industry for awhile. I needed to make a playlist for this season because it’s been long overdue.

I have headphones glued to my ears during football season. I’m writing about 10,000 words every week and I’m listening to music the entire time.

These tracks are all recent, other than a couple that I think flew under the radar and needs more attention.

I always keep an ear out for new music. I love discovering new bands/songs, it’s a habit from my days as a music journalist. Even though this is mostly a sports blog, I still add quite a bit of music and pop culture content. Keep sending me tracks via email or Twitter.

If you want to listen to songs that appeared on past playlists, you can listen to our playlist on Spotify or go here to view our past hipster playlists.

2021 NCAA Football – Week 6 Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 14-10-1 against the spread last week.

I killed it in the early games on Saturday (again), but the late games really beat me up. I was 10-3 after the early games, but the Pac-12 games did me dirty.

There are some big Big Ten games this week. We will know if Penn State and Maryland are contenders after this week.

Can Notre Dame rebound from their home loss to Cincinnati last week?

Can Texas win the Red River Showdown?

We at ‘America’s White Boy’ pick 25 college football games against the spread in Week 6 of the 2021-22 NCAA Football season (October 9th, 2021).

2021 NFL Week 5 – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread (again) in Week 4.

There are some big games on the schedule this week. I think we will have an idea of which teams are potential playoff teams after this week.

There are a few injuries to keep an eye on going into the weekend. Broncos QB Teddy Bridgewater is in concussion-protocol, Niners QB Jimmy Garoppolo has a calf injury that may or may not force him to miss this week and Panthers RB Christian McCaffrey could return this week. All three of those players statuses are up in the air.

How will Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes manage against the Bills #1 ranked defense?

We pick every NFL game against the spread and throw out a few upsets in Week 5 of the 2021 NFL season.
