NFL vs. College Football

Along with afternoon cocktails and Asian women, another minor vice of mine is gambling on football. I don't gamble much, and don't do it consistently, but I do find myself sitting on the edge of my seat for a Central Michigan - Idaho State caliber matchup from time to time. My theory is that lesser known college games have softer lines than the marquee games. This approach has treated me well over the years. Yesterday was not one of those days. Went big on USC, and they did not cover. No worries, just dropped my Michelob Light for a Famous Grouse. All was well.

However I do temper the said vice in that I choose not to gamble on the NFL anymore. The parody in the NFL turns every game into a coin toss. 4th quarter backdoor covers have ruined my Sunday afternoons more than a few times. Nothing worse, as Sundays are bad enough without the smart of debt.

So, akin to my taste in women, I'll steer clear of the professionals (for now) and stick with what works : the college-age contingent.

Introductions

I enjoy gallivanting through periphery countries in an inappropriately inebriated state, entertaining business proposals, reading the law, and generally trying to keep myself stimulated in every applicable sense of the word.

I'll spare you any more of my background and tell you what it is I plan to provide on this blog. I thoroughly enjoy, and take great pride in, analyzing the nuances of life which others may not necessarily notice and/or feel comfortable discussing.

This blog intends to feed the hungry mind through stories of personal conquests, insight into popular culture, as well as quotes and quips from quintessential yesteryear. In my posts I'll touch on: travel, sports, libations, architecture, cigars, music, grammatical correctness, political incorrectness, politics, and generally any other important matter of the day, brought to you in the most brutally honest, yet refined, manner possible. As far as I am concerned, it is perfectly acceptable to openly discuss non-gentlemanly activity, so long as it is done with a gentlemanly cadence.

While many of my contemporaries may have similar blueprints, my perspective is unique. I proudly boast a scrupulous, discerning, pragmatic, attitude, which celebrates the constant driving forces of humanity: peace, love, sex, and drugs (which incidentally is where my valediction for each post is derived = PLS&D). So, until tomorrow.....


PLS&D,
