Ryan's Superbowl Report

Like all of you, I will be watching the Superbowl this Sunday. It'll be a nice send-off for me, because personally, I have had my year's fill of football. So I'll be watching with some beer, pizza, and lots of fervor.

I'm going with Pittsburgh to win by 10. I like their offense matched up against Seattle's defense, which, let's be honest, has shown some holes over the course of this season. Also overlooked is Pittsburgh's special teams, which have really been clutch in pressure situations these past few games. The Seahawks are a good match, no doubt about that, but their run game won't have as much of its late season success against Pittsburgh's formidable line.

That whole last paragraph was made up. I know nothing about these two teams, but you probably believed me since football is an inferior sport to baseball, henceforth, dumber fans. But I will actually be watching since they show funny commercials and brand new movie trailers. I guess I'll root for Seattle since grunge came from there.

Don't worry Ryan. I used to struggle with the same problem: not caring at all about the outcomes of sporting events because I have no vested interest in them and they have no impact on my personal life whatsoever. Just 22 complete strangers throwing a ball around and hitting each other.

But then I discovered betting, a life-altering event that has changed my life for the better (this month, at least). For a few hours in late March, I suddenly became the biggest Boston Celtics fan in all of Las Vegas (Tim can attest). I know I'm supposed to "hate Florida" and all, but why? The Gators have never personally wronged me. In fact, they sent $75 my way this past season. In October, I became a staunch, hardcore Minnesota fan when they played Michigan, but then turned around and became a loyal Wisconsin Badger when they played the Golden Gophers the very next weekend. I love pulling for the underdog, not because I want them to win, but because I want them to lose by less than 18.

Ryan, when you get some time open up an account on sportsbook.com, and thank me later

P.S. -- sportsbook did not pay me to say this

Ryan, I must ask......Have you ever even played organized football OR baseball? My senses tell me you haven't.
