Jesus, OBJ. What can’t this guy do? Seriously. Rookie of the year, dodgeball all-star…
…friend of LeBron James
and now adds “Professional Dunker” to the list. And to think the Browns could have drafted him instead of Justin Gilbert… *rushes to the nearest garbage can and throws up for six straight hours*
This was OBJ last April before the draft (why did we not take him why did we not take him why did we not take him why did we not…)
Are Matthew Dellavedova and Brendan Haywood the most random best friends ever? A 24 year old Australian guy and a 35 year old 7 foot journeyman became best friends right under our noses. We’re all focused on Lebron/Kyrie/Love’s chemistry and we totally missed the budding relationship between our backup point guard and our 7th string Center. A real life Odd Couple.
Question: Does every player on the Cavs have their own personal handshake with every fellow player? Is that a thing? If that’s not a thing then this pairing of Delly & Haywood is the strangest twosome I’ve ever seen in my life.
We speak in hyperbole a lot on this site but I can honestly say this handshake is about a billion times more interesting than Kyrie and K-Love’s. I have so many questions and don’t know where to start… What is this handshake referencing? When did it start? Do other players do this same handshake? Are Delly and Haywood best friends? When did they become best friends? Do they hang out on the weekends? Can they teach it to me? Can I hang out on weekends too?
We came. We saw. We conquered. If you took any of the advice from yesterday’s post there’s a chance you’ve probably already quit your job and/or are on your way to an all inclusive resort in the Bahama paid for by all your winnings from yesterday.
Let’s look at the tape:
Patriots (-2) & OVER/UNDER 47.5
Patriots won by 4 and the game total was 52
Easy money.
WIN and WIN
First player to score a touchdown
The pick: Marshawn Lynch, Julian Edelman, Shane Vereen
Like I said in the post, I’ve NEVER gotten one of these right. Brandon LaFell was +1,400 so hopefully some of you hit on that.
LOSS
OVER/UNDER National Anthem Length
The pick: Over 2 minutes and 1 second
Never a doubt. You know Idina was going to bring the flair and dramatics to the biggest sporting event in the world. Only a sucker would’ve bet the under.
It seems people had some insider info on the anthem length because it was taken off the board on some sites
Multiple MAX bets on OVER 122.5 secs (length of National Anthem). Insider info suspected. Betting suspended by sportsbook.ag
Which coach will be mentioned first after kickoff & which coach will be shown first after kickoff?
Pick: Belichick for both.
This Super Bowl was all about Bill and the Patriots
WIN and WIN
Bill Belichick’s hoodie: Sleeves or no sleeves?
Pick: Sleeves
Like I said, Belichick knew about this prop bet and knew cut off sleeves were the favorite. He 100% wore sleeves just to spite everyone.
WIN
Will Uptown Funk be used in a commercial?
Pick Yes +500
Bet of the day comes through.
WIN
How many viewers will the game have?
Pick: Over 113 million
There were 114.4 people that tuned in.
WIN
Katy Perry’s first song
Pick: Wide Awake
Really really messed this one up. Tried going for it all with the 12/1 odds with Wide Awake and not just going with the easy 3/2 odds with Roar. It’s called gambling for a reason. Losers take the safe route. Pretty sure she didn’t even sing Wide Awake.
LOSS
Will Katy Perry show cleavage?
Pick: Yes
Was honestly hoping for more but this was easy enough. When you’re blessed with the beautiful gifts that Katy is blessed with you make sure the entire country gets an eyeful.
Left shark killed it.
WIN
Katy Perry’s hair color
Pick: Purple
Tried to out think myself again and I did. I said it would either be purple or black/brown and it ended up being black.
LOSS
A commercial will feature under-inflated footballs
Pick: Yes +1,000
Said that this probably wouldn’t happen and alas, it didn’t. The +1,000 was too juicy to pass up though
LOSS
Gatorade bath color
Pick: Red
I picked red not really thinking it would be red since yellow mostly wins these all the time. Surprise surprise it ended up being blue.
LOSS
Who will the MVP thank first?
Pick: Teammates
Good ol Tommy Touchdown thanking the men around him. What a guy.
WIN
Final Count 11 wins and 5 losses with most of the losses being on longshots that you wouldn’t put any significant money on anyway. Hopefully you guys took the advice and won some cash.
