Welcome to Deep Into Sports!

The push for an NFL team or teams relocating to Los Angeles are heating up again as more stadium proposals hit the table.

Forget the Coaching Carousel, What About the Los Angeles Team/Stadium Carousel?

The NFL in LA. Could it be?

It seems as if we’ve heard rumors of the NFL returning to Los Angeles every year since, well, since the NFL left LA twenty years ago. Hard to believe it has been twenty years…downright astounding that the nation’s second largest market has not had a team for that many years in a sports world driven by the media and TV dollars.

NFL Super Bowl XLIX picks and analysis.

NFL Super Bowl XLIX

MYTH VS. REALITY…CHEATING VS. GAMESMANSHIP…THE PATRIOTS AGAINST THE WORLD…THE ANNUAL SPYGATE RANT…

With the embarrassment of yet another cheating scandal tainting their organization, Patriots fans have retreated into the equally embarrassing and sophomoric posture of calling anyone who labels their team as cheaters, “haters.”

Theirs is a foxhole of delusion and denial in the name of revising history—and I’m sick of reading endless and wicked inaccurate commentary on the ‘net intended to exonerate the Patriots from their history of spying and more recently, deflating footballs below the limits proscribed in the NFL rule book.

Picks and analysis for the AFC Championship Games & NFC Championship Game of the 2014 NFL season.

NFL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP WEEKEND

We’ll have the year-end wrap up next week.

As things keep getting worse for the Gairzo…

It hit me this week; why people speak in the third person when referring to themselves….To disassociate from a loser.

Not to be overly self critical…

The post season has obliterated what began as a potentially promising enterprise for yours truly.  Last couple weeks my analysis was pretty much spot on, except in the Denver affair where it would have been nice to know Peyton Manning had a torn quad instead of simple fatigue.

We simply took the wrong side of the hook in a few games—we gave the Cowboys 5.5 and they lose by five.

That’s life in the fast lane.

And that’s why I love doing this—the Gangsters know what the hell they are doing—and you better be able to afford to lose what you bet.

Let’s try to go against the conventional wisdom, this week and carve up the baby in both games.… Continue Reading NFL 2014 AFC Championship & NFC Championship Picks & Analysis – Football

Picks and analysis for Divisional Weekend of the 2014 NFL season.

NFL DIVISIONAL WEEKEND

All year, I was consistent; pretty much a pedestrian effort, but I maxed out on the O/U of the Week and hit a couple Parlays.

Too bad I waited until Wild Card Weekend to go 1-3 on the games and a big fat goose egg on the Over/Under.

Here’s the sad tale of my tape: Continue Reading NFL 2014 Divisional Weekend Picks & Analysis – Football
