Friday........

After seeing their recent winning streak abruptly come to an end last night, I think the Knicks will embark upon another streak starting tonight versus the Clippers. However, the streak I am expecting is a losing one. Despite having seen only one Clippers game all year I still think they are more than capable of beating a Knicks team that has a roster littered with role players. One of the teams "stars", David Lee, couldn't get so much as a sniff from other teams during his offseason testing of the free agency waters. Bottomline, I would rather chew glass or play with a loaded gun then have to sit through this stinkfest. That being said, I am releasing the Clippers +2 just for the sake of doing so.
This day twenty one years ago the Jets led by a stellar performance from Al Toon beat the Giants and knocked them out of the playoffs. They say time heals all wounds. F that. As a high school student I was in no position to lose this game. Not only did this ruin my Christmas, it was the first time my parents had an inkling that "I might be involved in sports gaming". Think it was the fact that all my Christmas gifts were returned for cash and or store credit. Funny thing about the "book"- he had no interest in my brand new norelco razor or monogrammed luggage set, only cold hard cash. Remember this when you are all celebrating the epic run that I am about to unleash! Be back with the NFL cheatsheet later......
