Mattress Madness

Your eyes are not deceiving you. The sign above is real.

Question — Who would pay $36,190 for a mattress?

Happy 51st Birthday, Axl Rose!

The great Axl Rose and I have many things in common.

Roman Catholic Revulsion

I was raised in the Roman Catholic Church.

To this day, most of my family are practicing Catholics. I attended Catholic School (Holy Trinity in the Oak Lawn section of Dallas) — the same school run by the priest who gave President Kennedy last rights. I attended mass regularly (strong emphasis on the past tense). I was a member of the Knights of Columbus. I once played on the church soccer team, which was called the “Crusaders” (seriously). My Godfather graduated from the University of Notre Dame. That’s as Catholic as it gets.

CURRENT BANKROLL: $12,260. —– (+$2,260)

BEST BETS OF THE WEEK: 13-7-0

Comments: Despite the hype, this is my least favorite week of the NFL season. Betting is reduced to a single game. Give me any week of the regular season when there are a dozen or so games to chose from and a multitude of options. That said, the Super Bowl does provide some interesting opportunities for proposition bettors. That’s where the real money is to be made. I have four recommendations for this game.
