In the 66 days since I started using @OddsShopper, I’ve had a crash course in extremes: soaring wins & gut-wrenching losses. Here’s my roller-coaster story and why I consistently finish with a profit each month🧵👇
Nick Sirianni (and Jalen Hurts) deserve more credit for keeping that locker room focused during a Super Bowl run, no matter how messy things may have been behind closed doors.
The Eagles gave up a 1st and a 3rd for AJ Brown and fleeced the Titans in that trade. They then got four years of elite production from AJ and made it to two Super Bowls, while winning one.
Then they traded a 29 year old WR, and got a 1st and a 5th when there was no market outside of the Patriots. It’s a good trade.

I spoke with Grover Cleveland Alexander today about Cristopher Sánchez possibly breaking his franchise consecutive scoreless inning record.
“I’m rooting for him,” said Alexander, age 139. “He’s an incredible talent.”
Classy stuff from Old Pete.
A couple of years ago I was about to propose to my girlfriend.
Ring in hand. Speech prepared. Everything ready.
My roommate Joseph burst through the door out of nowhere, tripped over absolutely nothing, and fell face first through a glass table.
Me: (ring still in hand)
Me: (staring at Joseph on the floor)
Me: (staring at the shattered table)
Me: (staring at my girlfriend)
Mood: gone.
Joseph got a large piece of glass in his eye. Was walking around with a cotton pad over it for two months. I put the proposal on hold and helped him through the whole thing because that's what you do.
Then one day Joseph was gone.
My girlfriend was also gone.
Together.
Apparently they bonded during his recovery. Eloped without leaving a single note. I tried to find them. Never could.
So if you've ever wondered why I'm not married right now.
It's because if it hadn't been for cotton eye Joe I'd have been married a long time ago.
Where did you come from.
Where did you go.
Where did you come from cotton eye Joe.
If Phil Mickelson actually cared about the PGA Tour and his legacy, he’d have spent the last decade getting high on painkillers while racking up DUIs and reckless-endangerment charges.
