Return of The Jedi

Hello, It's me, I was wondering after all these years if you would like to read my new blog, to go over everything? My first blog here in three years and I come out quoting Adele. The Larry Stanley from 2012 would have just showed me his pimp hand if he knew what I was up to. However I went with a Star Wars title,so that kind of makes up for it right?

You maybe wondering why after three years,  I have decided to return to blogging. That is a good question, and I wish I had a good answer for you, but I don't. I just felt like it was time to start writing and sharing my thoughts again. With my return to the airwaves tonight on Twisted Fiction Radio (link below and shameless plug..... ding) , the timing seemed right.

I know Big Bad Sports Daddy, my column in "The Burb" newspaper , and this blog all seemed to disappear abruptly in 2012. No, I haven't been hiding on Dagobah (Star Wars Reference #2), but I have been writing and producing indie films. Honestly in 2012 I was just spreading myself way to thin and something had to give and it was BBSD and everything associated with it, so I could pursue my film making passion.

Indie film making is great too!  Let me tell you, until you have worked 60 hours in a weekend living off bologna sandwiches and monsters, exhausted, but still trying to figure out if a light should be here or two feet to the left, you just haven't lived.

Three years ago Indie film led me away from this blog, but this year it has led me back. I started a new blog for my film Grey Agenda. As I was working on that blog, I started to realize how much I did miss writing. I have been thinking of relaunching this for a while, and I like I said the timing finally felt right.

Last year I did have short stint on a Morning Show here in Dallas, and put a podcast back on online for a couple of weeks. I can tell you honestly my heart wasn't really into either show. I wanted to be into both broadcast, I just wasn't.  Now I can  tell you I am 100% ready to run my mouth and broadcast again. That starts tonight with Big Jon on T.F.R,


If you are a new reader you may not remember like my returning customers(by which I mean my Mom & Dad), this blog was filled with topics like beer, women sports, and football picks in the past. In my late 20s and early 30s that seemed to be what mattered. Now as I am closing in on 40, I have realized I have so much more to share and I will right here in the future.

Before I sign off from the other side(dang it just quoted Adele again) I want to say how great it was to see the #9 Jedi back on the field on Sunday. Are the Cowboys playoff bound? I don't know, but I do know I am not going to be watching the Red Zone for extended periods of time during their games, at least not for the next couple of weeks.  You didn't really think I would write a blog without some football talk, did you?

8-31 Best Bets




The Old Professor L-Train is back for my third straight Football season of picking games right here on BigBadSportsDaddy.com. If you want to check my stats from last year, here you go.

2011 Professor L-Train's
NFL 17-6-2
NCAA 18-14
Overall 35-20-2




As Jen Welter and I talked about last night on the Fooseball Show live from Frankie's in Uptown Dallas, Week 1 of the college season is a "dust the dirt off your cleats" week. Going through the schedule on paper there are only 3 decent games. You have :

Mich State -6 vs Boise State
Clemson-3 vs Auburn

and in the main event

#2 Alabama-14 vs #8 Michigan

I'm not crazy about these lines, however my mom didn't raise a chicken. Let's do this! Here is where my money is going this week. Happy Betting and good luck!

Boise+6 over Mich State
Clemson-3 over Burn



Bama-14 over Mich

Also show me
LSU-44 over North Texas. Welcome to the ass kicking of your life Mean Green.
OU-30 over UTEP.


Remember to hold back early in the season. Lay off and bet low. We have to let trends develop so we can bust them up later in the year. I know we are all anxious to get some action. Just go Axl Rose and show a little Patience...OH....Yeah..

#4 Scenario Fantasy Football.




Fantasy Football dorks all over the world are gearing up for their draft dates. In my league we set our draft date and draft order over the past weekend. I drew the #5 pick out of 12 teams.

Originally I was thinking Aaron Rodgers at #5. However after studying some mocks and asking around the league I am not so sure he makes it to me anymore. This year the focus isn't on stud running backs. The reason being many NFL Teams have put together crowded backfield. Would you rather have a running back splitting carries or top QB?

As most of you experienced fantasy footballers know you always want at least one if not two work-horse running backs to carry your team. In the past I have seen 8 running backs come off the board with the first 8 picks. Over the past decade could make a case for Peyton Manning or Tom Brady late in the first round too. Now you can make a case for 3 QBs, A wide receiver, two tight ends all going mid to late first round.

This year there are only 3 Legit RB#1 . You have Arian Foster,Ray Rice, and LeSean Mccoy. I suspect in most drafts in some way,some shape,or form these are your top 3 picks. All other top RBS are have huge question marks that come along with drafting them.

Here is a scenario for you, what if you are setting there at 4 and those 3 Running Backs are off the board? What do you do?

I think your first options is looking at 1 of your top 3 QBS. I think you have to think about Rodgers,Brady or Brees. These guys are so far above beyond other QBS it's not funny! It would be nice to lock one of them up and not worry or gamble on a QB later.

Calvin Johnson is another name that could go at #4. No WR in the NFL can put up numbers like that guy. It's not an insane pick at all. His Average Draft position right now is 6. I think in this scenario I go ahead and take him at 4. Then I hope that Stafford or Newton make it back to me in the second round. Stafford to Johnson would be a nice one-two combo to lock up. All though I am not a huge fan of that theory. This year I think that combo could land you playing for your championship.

The last thing to consider in this scenario at 4 is Darren McFadden or Chris Johnson. McFadden is for the #4 pick if health wasn't a concern,but yet it is now. Chris Johnson could be the come back player of the year. He could also be one step of dropping to lower tier runner. He is your proverbial huge Gamble with that huge upside.

I think a little later towards picks #10-12 in the late first round you could see Jimmy Graham or Rob Gronkowski get chosen.

As we move towards our fantasy drafts the only thing for sure is this year is going to be insane! Here is my friendly advice; Be prepared! A little tip for you,if you don't know who Doug Martin is you better find out quick. Also stay away from Cowboys! Cowboys Offensive players = disappointment in fantasy football. Who am I kidding? Those Cowboys offensive players = disappointment in real life too.

Let Me hear how your draft shakes out.: YOu can find me all over the net:
