2025 College Football: All-Name Team

This is one of my favorite posts to do every year and I found a bunch of fresh names…and some longtime favorites are using up all the eligibility the NCAA will allow.

What makes a great college football name?

A good litmus test is if it works as a potential pro wrestling name, it works in college football. It also works if a name sounds like a verb, phrase, a certain body part or just a bad ass football name that makes them sound tough.

We went through every team in the top two divisions in the NCAA. We went through ever single name and picked out the ones that were funny and some names we just wish we had.

How to Make Music a Bigger Part of Your Life

You don’t need a big plan or loads of time to make music a bigger part of your life. It can start with something as simple as putting on your favourite album while you get dressed in the morning. Or maybe playing a playlist while you’re doing the washing up. These little moments count. Once music becomes part of your daily routine, it starts to feel less like an extra and more like something you couldn’t do without.

You don’t have to sit down and “listen to music” like it’s homework. Just let it flow in the background. Pick something upbeat when you’re cleaning. Go for something chilled when you’re winding down. Soon enough, you’ll wonder how you got through the day without it.

Super Bowl 59 – Betting Picks Against Spread & Prop Bets

Super Bowl 59 is this Sunday and it’s a prop bets smorgasbord.

I LOVE prop bets. I actually get more joy out of betting Super Bowl prop bets than betting against the spread. Yes, most are a crap shoot, but with the right research, you can end up winning bets with very favorable odds.

I’m not saying you can research who will win the coin toss, but there are many other player and team prop bets out there that have nice odds.

Some prop bets aren’t worth the money (the juice isn’t worth the slight risk), but sometimes you just have to lay a few bucks down, cross your fingers and wish for the best.

I picked out some of the most popular prop bets for Super Bowl 59 (or Super Bowl LIX for Roman numeral fans)…and we also pick the game against the spread.

2024-25 NFL Conference Championships – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 3-0-1 against the spread during the Divisional Round.

We have two very different games on the schedule this week.

The NFC Championship have a new contender in the race with the Washington Commanders being a surprise opponent for the Philadelphia Eagles.

The AFC Championship had no surprises, as these two teams were favored to meet here since the start of the season.

2024-25 NFL Divisional Playoffs – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 3-3 against the spread during Wild Card Weekend.

The Wild Card games were a bit ho-hum, but we did get one or two solid games. I expect a lot more drama this week. I think both late games will deliver just that.

The Chiefs and Lions are coming off their well-deserved bye week, will they look rested or rusty?

Does rookie Washington QB Jayden Daniels have any more magic left in him?

We pick every NFL Divisional game against the spread and throw out a few upsets for the 2024-25 NFL weekend of playoff action.

2024-25 NFL Wild Card Playoffs – Betting Picks Against Spread

I went 11-5 against the spread in Week 18.

Week 18 was a case in backwards thinking. A lot of bad teams won and ruined their draft stock. Bad teams/franchises tend to make things worse for themselves and I bet on a lot of those teams to do just that.

It’s important to look at weather reports, the strength of opponents down the stretch and injury reports before placing your bets.

Can the Commanders continue to surprise and cover against Tampa Bay?

We pick every NFL Wild Card game against the spread and throw out a few upsets for the 2024-25 NFL weekend of playoff action.

My Weekly TTM Autograph Haul #41 – Ryne Sandberg, Billy Sims & more

The holiday season was ending, but I felt like a kid on Christmas for the autograph returns I received in the days after the 25th. We got some big names in our TTM autograph returns, but we still only had 8 successes this video.

We got Baseball Hall of Fame second baseman Ryne Sandberg, Heisman Trophy winning-running back Billy Sims, and former New York Yankee (and current USC manager) Andy Stankiewicz.
