Heavy Favorites Parlay: A Sustainable Strategy?
I am not going to lie, this idea popped in my head recently but is probably being deployed by many skilled gamblers on a regular basis. I am also not the greatest gambler because I hate betting on teams I like and usually just look for crazy upsets. After scoring […]
Blaney Report: Daytona Round Up
On Sunday, some of the 12oz Sports crew decided we are adopting Ryan Blaney, NASCAR #12, as the network’s favorite driver. Not only does he don the “12” on his car, but he was also born in Ohio, so this is a natural fit. I apologize to anyone within the […]
Armored Knights with axes; In a ring made of cattle guards
I will admit, after seeing a Barstool Sports Facebook post, I had to do some research. It is called the Armored Combat League and it is…..glorious. Fighting rings made with cattle guards, and just enough medieval esthetics to make even the weakest dungeons and dragons fan smile. https://youtu.be/-II9K9coXUc There’s […]
Baseball elects nobody….again
This is starting to become a habit. The MLB has decided nobody was worthy of induction into their Hall of Fame for 2021, a hall in which has produced only one unanimous inductee (Mariano Rivera). I am starting to think the voters are complete snobs as if to say “nobody […]

Browns by 50
I was 13. It was bitter cold outside and the fireplace in the basement roared just off to my right. My chair, 3 feet in front of the TV the entire game. I was intense, the game was intense. I clung to every single play. My team was one of […]

The PAC 12 & Big 10 Dilemma
The PAC 12 and Big Ten have themselves in a serious pickle, with nobody to blame but themselves. Both conferences, coincidentally, sat around deciding whether or not to have a season while the SEC and ACC fired up conference games. The result? Both the PAC and BIG have undefeated Power […]
Is a College Football Super Conference on the way?
When I first heard the news, I immediately went into Michael Scott mode….. When the dust settled from that overreaction, I realized this would take a lot of consent. Not by the NCAA of course, they will never let go of their cash cow until they are forced to do […]

Tyson-Jones Event; Not a Technical Slam Dunk
Before everyone gets upset, read the article title clearly. My buddy and I, while clearly entertained the entire event between the really good early fights stuffed with live performances, including Snoop smoking a blunt during his song, we were still argumentative whether or not the two main events were technically […]
A Nation Divided Politically: Are Sports Divided Too?
What could easily be described as the most intense, hate-filled, and an incendiary presidential election in my 47 years on this planet could potentially heat up even more in the next two months as nationwide lawsuits and recounts get underway. A large portion of political speech has trickled over to […]
