Dolla Dolla Bills Yall: Facial Hair, Hicks, and Fighters

For this week's edition, we'll be straying further from our sports-betting comfort zone. The Shark will be serving up picks for a couple growing sports. One I enjoy quite much, and the other I do not understand whatsoever.


Before we get to that, I have made an observation: Washington Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has a fetish, folks. He apparently has an insatiable craving for quarterbacks. Black ones. With more mustache than the common man would dare sport.

I’m pretty sure he has implemented a strict, non-negotiable pre-requisite to line up behind center for his Redskins. It appears he has cornered the market on black, mustachioed quarterbacks.



Jason Campbell’s mustache has been well documented. But when McNabb appeared at his first post-Eagles press conference, he had noticeably ditched the goatee and sported a very visible mustache.

Exhibit A:


Coincidence? I think not! Quite clearly, Snyder has a raging, mega-huge boner for mustaches.

Final thought - No one under 50 (unless you reside in one of our southern states) should have just a mustache. Guys that have them are creeps. And usually kid-touchers.

Alrighty then... time for your picks:

Kevin Harvick - 15/1 - To Win the NASCAR Subway Fresh Fit 600
Why? Cause my ability to look at list of unrecognizable names and pick out a winner is uncanny. No one does that better.  Having said that, is there anyone who reads this blog that actually likes auto racing? NASCAR is unwatchable. Just horrible and torturous.

Matt Hughes, Anderson Silva, and BJ Penn - All to Win at UFC 112
This is much more like it. Two guys beating the hell out of each other in extreme fashion. UFC is absolutely fantastic. If you haven't started watching, you should. It's roughly 8 boobillion times better than boxing.  When you're at the bar this weekend, make bets with you unknowledgeable buddy as each of these fights come up on the big screen. Bet all three of the guys I mentioned will destroy their opponent. You'll be swimming in free drinks.


That's it for this week.  Adios!

  1. there's roughly 20 boobillion hipsters with hipster 'staches running around nyc. every single one looks like a kid-toucher although i'm pretty sure many haven't had any sexual contact in years.
