We all want to believe we're wise beyond our years. That's why you can't get through a Thanksgiving gathering without a fight, or what I like to call a Gobble Squabble.
My sister-in-law and I got into a mildly heated exchange on the eve of Turkey Day. I still think I’m right, she still thinks she’s right. We agreed to disagree.
But I’m searching for more opinions on the matter so if you feel like chiming in answer the question to this hypothetical scenario:
Your mother has been an upstanding citizen for the 60 years of her existence. Never been to jail, never even had a traffic ticket. Every week she goes to her friend’s house to play bridge, which is two miles away from her home. This week she won (which was common) and had a few glasses of Pinot Grigio to celebrate. While driving home she accidentally swerved into the left lane and clipped the back of another vehicle. That car spun out of control, hit a pole and the driver died.So my question to you is does your mother deserve to go to jail for involuntary manslaughter?
I said no. My sis-in-law said yes. She said she would even put her own mother behind bars for a long time (and she likes her mom).
I say there are extenuating circumstances with every case. If the mom was a drunk and had three DUIs on her record then she probably deserves to spend some time in the pen. But a first-time offender should not.
Anyway, none of that has anything to do with what you guys and gals are really reading this blog for…the picks!
We got the week started off on the right foot with Cowboys team total under 26 on Thursday. If you missed that play and don’t want to in the future,
follow me on Twitter because I post all of my ordinary bets there.
Broncos +6, ML +220 (half unit on each) - I love Timmy but this is all about the Donkey defense. The push up front has been nasty the last few weeks and the Chargers’ O-line is bleeding like a stuck pig.
And that’s it for now ladies and gents. I’ll certainly have a few more plays but I’m hoping lines move in a more favorable direction. Added bets will be posted in the comment section below. Good luck this week everyone.
NFL Record: 34-20-2, +11.48 units
