Super Blog

Did you miss me? Sorry after I denounced my Cowboy's faith I had to join the witness protection program for a while. You wouldn't believe the living hell I've went through ever since that infamous blog hit the net three weeks ago. I've had kids spit at me as I walked down Las Colinas BLVD,People honking and flipping me off,others yelling GO Cowboys outside my front door at 4AM,death threats from someone I used to call Mom and other unmentionable stuff that it wouldn't be appropriate to write about here. I missed blogging so much that I decided to go the way of Sammy the Bull & Henry Hill and leave the program and get back to it. What better way to return to my blog then with a Super Blog? It just so happens my Super Blog coincides with the Super (can't type it here or I'll get sued) Game.

I made my first ever lightning bet on the Super Game 10 years ago. It was the Mighty St. Louis Rams and their "Greatest Show on Turf" playing the upstart Patriots with some rookie QB named Tom Brady. Now the Rams were favored by 14 points and I bet them to the tune of 10 bucks a point.

Maybe I should explain a Lightning Bet next. You know just in case you're not a degenerate gambler like a certain blogger who is fresh out of the witness protection program.

A lightning bet is wager where the amount is determined by the point spread. Now if you bet the favorite and they cover you get paid your set amount per point for every point they cover the spread by. Now if the underdogs win like they did on that faithful day in '02 you owe. You owe the point spread plus how much the dogs won by that day.For example I had a lighting bet a $10 a point on that 2002 Super Bowl. I took the Rams -14. Since the Pats won by 3 you add that to the 14 point spread and get 17. Now Multiply it by $10. I lost $170. Does that make since? By The way I stil wish I would of listen to Jimmy Kimmel on Fox Super Bowl Pre Game Show in 02. He was the only one with enough guts to pick the Pats!

My buddy and I have made it a tradition since 2002 to make a lightning bet on every Super Game since. My record is an awesome 2-8 since then. My friend has a simple winning strategy. This genius strategy will blow your mind! Are you ready? It's simple,he let's me pick the team I want.

This year I went 21-9-2 in the NFL Regular Season with my picks right here in this very blog. As good as I maybe at picking regular season games,I am that bad at picking Super Games. I don't know what it is. I can't pick that damn game! The Football Gods smile on my all season until Super Sunday(Can I say that?) rolls around. Then they all the Football Gods gather around and have a good laugh at my expense.


I am about to give you my pick. If you want to win I would really suggestion you do the opposite!

In the 2012 Super Game I like
