Don’t fumble before the deadline

Now before I begin, please I do not condone gambling. I do enjoy the odd scratch and win or the optional $5 poker game at Greg’s on Thursdays. However, I am way to chicken-poo to wager anything into the double digits.

I do work in an industry that is neck deep in gambling, Sports. At the Radio Station we have our Football, Hockey, World Cup, regular season, post season pools that go year round, they are cheap they are fun. It’s always nice to be crowned office champ and strut around with a little extra gusto from February to September. It’s one of the reason’s why the NFL still on top of the Sports World economically.

Because so many people are involved, in fantasy football leagues, survivor pools and the standard pick a winner pools. More people watch and more people get engaged in the great game of football. I love football from playing it in the hockey boards at Northview Park in Pointe Claire before the snow came, I love it from playing for John Abbott College in CEGEP. But it still helps to watch sometimes when the 49ers are getting killed 35-12 by the Cowboys but Joe Nedney kicked four field goals.

With The parity in the NFL today, you do not need to be an expert to succeed. The strategies are great, which animal would win in a fight, does the teams jersey colour match my favorite colour blue, My cat pee’d on my Brett Favre Packers jersey, so that means the Dolphins will beat the Jets. Whatever works for you. As long as your responsible and are having fun with it.

This year, I’ve actually decided to go out and search for help outside the regular routine sniffing out feline urine. I’m going to be asking help from my girlfriend. I’m thinking this is will either be the begging or the end of the relationship, but it will help on those Sundays, when she starts reaching from the remote at 1230pm. Its something we can do together… right?

Her lock of the week is… if you wanted to know then we all have problems.
