Get The Rubber Hose: Sandusky Details Emerge
The Public Professor is an actual Professor with a real site, but since he doesn’t have a cell phone or cable, he’s goofy enough to be here. THE LOCKER ROOM – according the Attorney General of Pennsylvania, it turns out Jerry Sandusky was diddling boys as young as eight years old. And apparently, he also [...]
Lin, Baltimore Blast, Rangers, Knicks… Anything Till Opening Day
The Nether Reaches of Sport- It’s downtime in my sporting world. No football, no baseball, time to dig deep. Sure, the Jeremy Lin situation’s been a fun distraction for a loyal, though hardly excitable, Knicks fan such as myself. It’s really starting to seem like they could make the playoffs and perhaps advance to the second [...]
Drugs: Lin, Lance, Lundquist, Carter & Whitney
STREET CORNER, USA – Drugs seemed to be the theme of the week: those who took em`, those who deny taking `em, and those who never will take `em. So let’s consider then, who’s a druggie and who ain’t. As Cookie mentioned yesterday, Lance Armstrong recently took second place in a competitive half Iron Man triathlon. Lance [...]
Welcome to the Void
The Void- It’s done. It’s over. No more football. And baseball is still nearly two months away. Sigh. For you hockey and basketball fans, these are good days. And while I’m loyal to the Kincks and Rangers, the truth is that for me basketball and hockey are in a limp-wristed arm-wrestling match to see who [...]
Go Break a Leg-acy!
Looking Down from On High- It’s rare that a Super Bowl Big Game, such as the one that will be played Sunday, features a relatively recent rematch of relatively recent champions. In fact, it’s only happened once before: January 21, 1979, when the Pittsburgh Steelers faced off against the Dallas Cowboys in Super Bowl Big [...]
I’m On A Roll: Picking The Big Games
Rolling In It- Last week I offered four picks for the NFL Conference Championship games. In response, our very own Lori Levine made a wonderfully strange offer: if I nailed them all, I could watch her pee. I hit three-out-of-four.So close. So close, but yet so far. Sigh . . . So while I might [...]

The Winnter’s Circle: Last week I hit 4 of the 7 picks I offered up here. Four out of seven, people! You should be so lucky. So let’s keep moving forward, why don’t we. There are two games on tap tomorrow, four bets to be made. (Home teams in CAPS). NEW ENGLAND 7.5 Baltimore [...]
Publicly Professing NFL Picks
The Gaming Parlor – I didn’t do too bad with last week’s Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs, correctly picking out the Broncs to cover and the Under in the Giants-Falcons game. Of course the only one I bet in real life was Cinci, and that didn’t work out too well, but I won’t [...]
Bet The Farm On Our Bookie! The Public Professor’s NFL Picks
PHONE TO MY BOOKIESVILLE – It’s a beautiful, crisp and clear Saturday. Perfect for football… Let’s talk about the best ways to throw away some money! I’ve got derelict musings on all four games of the NFL’s Divisional Round; Home teams in CAPS. HOUSTON 4 Cincinnati O/U 38.5 Both teams have pretty good Defenses: Houston is [...]
New Year’s Resolutions To Keep Sports From Sucking
Under the Mistletoe – What? You think I’m gonna create a list of stuff that I should change about myself? Nice Try. No, I’m doin’ just fine, thank you very much. Quite happy the way I am: middle age, middle class, no wife, no kids, a weekly poker game, and tenure. Now’s not the time [...]
