I entered one $100 fantasy league and won $440. Hows that ROI%? I can ship ESPN login info to verify. Escrow with Sanlmar first though
I did say I would count FD against my earnings lol... tough but fair.Quote:

Maybe the most in depth analysis of the National Anthem time I have ever seen.
Quote:
As luck would have it, I took a new gig assisting with a university marching band, and we work closely with the athletics and sports media departments. The business of producing a football game is a very well planned script that is pulled off similar to a Broadway show, except it’s “one night only.” This stuff is planned down to the second. Somewhere, behind closed doors, there is a script with a slot for “National Anthem, Luke Bryan.” My guess, is that Bryan’s window is 2:30. Insanely expensive commercials to follow immediately after our anthem. The Thunderbirds (who will do the flyover this year) add the exclamation point to the anthem, and have the best timing IN THE WORLD.
There are only a few observations I am able to share about the upcoming performance. #1. Luke Bryan is a dude. He is the fourth dude in 20 years to perform. It’s less characteristic of male voices to sustain high notes. Musically, it makes more sense for upper voices to sustain the high notes, and low voices to sustain low notes. See Western Music. People have been making the mistake of assuming that just because the singer is “so and so,” they will therefore sing our anthem into infinity. If you ask me, that’s a rather arrogant mistake. See Renee Flemming. There is more than one factor at play here. #2. Form. There are many versions of our national anthem. Most of the super bowl renditions are the version in 4/4 time. Looking at Bryan’s examples on youtube, he prefers the version in 3/4 time. That potentially (but not necessarily) means the anthem is 25% shorter. In fact, he actually slips a 4/4 bar into his version on occasion. #3. Tradition. I’ve never been a big patron of country music, but in my opinion, some of the strength of this genre lies in the pauses. The anthem has several spots where a dramatic pause would be very expressive. But in addition, the tempo, be it fast or slow, traditionally remains unyielding. Bryan is Country, not Soul or Gospel. Aretha Franklin (Queen of Soul) gifted America a rendition of our anthem on Thanksgiving, that embodied the timeless greatness of her genre. I was even able to go to the bathroom and come back before she finished. #4. History. The Youtube examples are good. The one example I toss out as ‘irrelevant’ is the version he did as part of a live concert. His show, his time, his program, his rules. Imagine for a second, that YOU are the one standing in between Super bowl LI and planet Earth. During Bryan’s live show, he has no pressure or concerns other than delivering that sweet apple pie of a voice to the people. As you noted Kmarko, all his sporting event performances were less than 2 minutes. #6. Time of 2:09. I heard that the over/under was originally 2:15. But damn. 2:09 is a tough time. Well played vegas. It seems like more of a psychological suggestion to me. As with Renee Flemming, her over/under was way outta line with the reality of what was possible. 2:09 is a very realistic time. I wasn’t able to confirm, but it looks as though it will just be the Luke Bryan pipes, and no piano or ensemble with him. If that’s the case, there will be no intro music to add unnecessary seconds to our anthem.
Sounds like I’m suggesting the under doesn’t it…? There’s only one condition in which I DO NOT place prop bets on the Super Bowl, and that’s when my Patriots are performing. All the life or death motivation and thrill I need comes from watching them play. Adding $$ to the equation is too much of a conflict of interest. But that’s just me. But for everyone else, I think the facts support taking the under. I hate the time of 2:09, but I gotta go with my gut. 2:06 is my prediction. Sorry to disagree on the back end of your blog Kmarko. It feels safe to take the over, and risky to take the under, but I would be no good to you or the stoolies if I didn’t tell you exactly how I feel.
Well, I pulled the trigger for a couple dimes on Atlanta. Just couldn't lay the points. I also tried to talk myself into the under, but I just don't see it; all due respect to Daly of course. Should be a great game.
Yeah? You should have deleted this one too because you're a total retard.Quote:

That awkward moment when you have so many bets going you start to forget what you need.
I made a bet on curry points + assist -2.5 vs something in the super bowl...... I have no idea what the fuck it is.
Time to get serious.
Shady Brady and the New England Cheats -3. Worst Super Bowl line since 1999, which had the wrong team favored by a TD, which BTW was the Falcons.
And for a bonus.
After the game, Shady announces his retirement from the NFL.
You're crazy if you think Brady is quitting after this year.Quote:

I'll tell you why I know Tom and Bill aren't done win or lose....Quote:

Scarnecchia will turn 69 in February, but he will be allowed to roam the sidelines in New England as long as he wants.
These three walk out together in 2-5 years.
The difference in the offensive line after Scarnecchia's return is like night and day.Quote:

Patriots owner, Robert Kraft, has lost his fastball. He's a bit of a doddering old fool. The week before the Super Bowl he drops that Bill Belichick has a secret retirement date.
After a 2 year hiatus, his son & team president Jonathon Kraft agreed to come on the top local sports radio station. Jonathon Kraft diplomatically said the story is true.Quote:
At 64 years old, though, Belichick will have to call it a career eventually. It’s been difficult to pin down exactly when that will be, but he knows when he’s going to retire – and so does Robert Kraft.
“We have a pact that we don’t talk about that,” Kraft said, via the Washington Post. “He knows and I know. But he won’t be done this year.”
Belichick has a coaching lineage traceable directly back to Lombardi. (Do you know what this is Daly?). Belichick was part of the Parcells crop of assistant coaches that includes Sean Peyton, etc etc.
As important as Parcells' influence on Belichick was, Belichick does not want to duplicate Parcells' ugly habit of suddenly bailing mid contract and leaving teams high and dry.
So yeah, I believe there is a date. Nothing lasts forever. Someday Boston will become like Detroit. Just kidding. That's hyperbole.
No tweets from President Trump yet. Will have work to do to cover Over 7.5 today. 56% of bettors hit the Under. bit.ly/18q9SG8
ACR down to 57.5 right now...timmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmber
Just punched in under 59 - 110 with a local
He is crazy af but it's not cus he thinks Brady is going to quit after this seasonQuote:
