Texas Tech Football: Leave It On The Field

Wes — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 11:00:57 +0000

I don't even understand why people get all worked up about ball games. Well, I kind of do, but once the game is over, it's over. We can 'renew' the rivalry in about 50 weeks. The problem is the University wants you worked up to buy tickets, vendors want you worked up to buy t-shirts and your neighbor wants you worked up because he likes seeing you pissed.

Sure Vernon Davis scored, but his little celebration sure made him look silly. More after the jump. After one week, the San Francisco 49ers look like the class [...]

Floyd Mayweather Bets On The Cowboys, And Wins!

Wes — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 21:00:13 +0000

When I go to Vegas, I pretty much say, 'okay, I'm going to loose $200 bucks'. Once I know I'm going to lose, I can just enjoy the ride. I'm basically paying $200 to play video games, which you like to call slot machines and poker machines. All of this is to say, I'm not really a better, I'm more of just a 'fun haver". Floyd Mayweather Jr. is better. He's tweeted his bets and sent out pictures of this betting slips and he recently had one pay off BIG.
