This will have to be another quick one, as sleep is at a premium these days. According to Yahoo’s NFL Odds page, only 5dimes.com has a spread AND an over/under with half-points. I’m going to take both, as I’m 5-5 and want an opportunity to be 2 over .500. I used the reverse jinx to [...]

As always, it was a busy week. As you may know a visitor took had me off to explore Bellagio where I had a chance to take a look at their awesome Chinese New Year dragons. Feeling inspired by that I headed to Venetian and caught a look at their giant, fire breathing dragon. Certainly, [...]

Rarely is there a famous person that moves me enough to a) wish them to Rest in Peace in public and b) write about them. In fact, Joe Paterno may be the first person recently that has passed away that I wanted to write about. You know I’m a sports dork. When I was growing up [...]

While watching the Divisional round of playoff games, I posted a fleeting thought on my Facebook Wall that I just can’t stop contemplating: Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham should be the first and second picks in your Fantasy Football drafts next year.

Of course, ever since Baby MJP was born, sleep has been at a premium, so this’ll be quick. I found these odds on yahoo, from betonline.com. I like the Saints on the road at -3.5. I don’t know the history of this line, but it feels like one that was originally larger and has shrunk [...]

When I last wrote in this space, my family consisted of three queens, a king and one card left to be dealt. I’m happy to report that I got a second king on the draw for a real world ‘full house’. Baby MJP (and yes, his name is simply the reverse of mine) was born [...]

It already seems as if the year is already over. Things are slowing down everywhere except in retail outlets (you may have noticed me passing out Cyber Monday deals from Amazon all week). While things here wind down I’ll be taking some time to do a little reshuffling of the ECG family of sites. With [...]

Welcome to the fourth installment of ‘JMPower Rankings’, in which most writers would try and tie this into the holidays, by saying what teams should be thankful for or what each team needs for Christmas. As you’ve probably discovered by now, I’m not ‘most writers’. 1.

It was a short week thanks to Thanksgiving. Hopefully you enjoyed it as much as I did. It’s been pretty hectic with friends visiting and I have have more coming in the next few weeks. At some point I’ll be out of commission while I’m destroying Vegas as a tourist. I even have a tourist [...]

New York Jets vs. Tim Tebow – Who Ya Got?!

I like to gamble. You know this. You may also know I never bet on games involving the New York Jets. They’re the only team I root for that I won’t mess with when it comes to gambling. I’m already a rabid enough fan that adding any more emotion to the game is not good [...]
