So I was in Africa about ten years ago and as you can imagine, pretty much anything goes there. Gas stations consisted of benzine in a glass bottle, kids would fight like jackals over a snickers you just gave them and I have actually seen a chick fill a pot hole in town with a healthy poop in the middle of the day.
I was there with the Air Force and there are a lot of rules governing behavior, dealing with the population and things that could hurt the credibility of the mission.
So we were in Northern Cameroon near the Tchad, Nigeria and Central African Republic borders, the outer edges of the Sahara. We were staying in a pretty decent hotel for the mission which was to deliver and administer various medical treatments to villages all over this wasteland. Pretty cool, people walked 50 miles to come get a tooth pulled!
So General Order #1 was absolutely, under no circumstances...were we to have the secks with any local chicks. Reason? Estimated Aids rates in the local area were 30% to 60%!!! Problem was when we'd get back to the hotel each night there were 15-20 scantily dressed African women, fully browned and delicious.
Anyway, they were all hookers. So they had to remove them every night after complaints from the command staff but they kept coming back. So I wasn't going to let a good opportunity pass me by so I asked one of the girls what their rates were. I was referred to a man in a felt hat (Even if it wasn't felt I wanted it to be, so it was) who tried to tell me it was $100 for an hour. I said nothing turned and walked away. So the guy chased me down and almost tackled me. He said $50? I said $10? He said $40? I said $10. He said no, I left.
So I told this story to some weird guy we were out there with (he was an inoculation specialist or something) and he said he had never had a black woman. I told them he would be taking a big chance even with latex and he said he had other ideas.
So the next day I went back to the Felt Hat and began what was to be an hour of intense negotiations. I said I would not pay $40 for one, but would pay $40 for three. His starting point for three was $150 which I told him made no sense if he was giving me one for $40. When we finally settled on a price we had to start all over again because he wanted to pick the girls, some cost more than others apparently which I thought he was making up on the spot (Nigerian guy). So finally we settled on three girls of my choice for $65. Now the guy that wanted one had already given me $40 plus a $20 "finders fee" which allowed me two girls for $5.
But I wasn't crazy enough to do anything with chicks that might have Aids-ridden ######s, so I took all three girls to the hotel manager's office where we had access to a cot and the twot. Went to get the guy and brought him down to see the girls but did not tell him there were three. When he got there he said, "so which one do I get?" I said, "all three, two on me buddy." I told him I needed to see all the girls naked to make sure they met his high standards first so I had all three strip down and then felt sick I wasn't able to do anything. He assured me all he was getting was a handy and whatever else, but no penetration (I didn't care, I did it for the comedy and the borderline criminal aspects).
Left the guy and the girls, went about my business and then to my room (we were staying three to a room IIRC). About two hours later I heard a knock on the door next door and heard, "sir, we have a problem!" The vice commander was next door, he went with the MP to investigate.
Apparently the guy I got the girls for not only had intercourse with them but also left his DNA in one of the girls on purpose, which the girl didn't agree to nor particularly care for. So a huge fight broke out and the girls took the guy's cloths and locked him in the office. The MPs heard the ruckus and responded and when they got there they saw a naked Airman on top of the guy with the felt hat, rolling around on the floor with a couple of homeless dogs. The girls were screaming, a crowd formed and some bystanders (possibly gangsters) had even brandished a weapon.
MPs broke it up and they did interviews and all of that. I was ####ed, no way this dude was going to leave me out of this I thought...I was gonna be sent home in disgrace for arranging a prostitution ring. So that night, nothing. Next day, nothing. No one came to talk to me. A few days later I finally saw the guy and he just smiled, nothing was said. They sent him home that day but he allegedly told the MPs a story of deceit and betrayal, a heinous crime was committed against him. He said that the guy in the felt hat wanted his seed and the three girls were the man's daughters. At knife point he was to impregnate all three, or die. Stranger things have happened in Africa...
Not sure if he ever got the Aids.

The spiraling attitude that is the thread killer. Did Barry Sanders quit? Yes. Was that my fault? No. Tough pal- I buried a brother at 21. They hauled me out of class and said yer brother is dead- so sorry- see you. No help getting home. No compassion. Too bad. I went thru the floor of a car flying down the street. Skidded 20 feet and woke up face down in a puddle of mud. I am still here buddy. I worked my ### off in kitchens making peanuts with cuts and burns on my hands and face. Ever cook for 200 people in 2 hours with a chef scrutinizing every move you make while having a third degree burn on your right hand? I am in Kung Fu pal. Competitive enough for you? I have a family member that just had half his face cut off with cancer. You want tough? You go hug that man and tell him that he has dignity and pride. That is not a quitter. You have NO knowledge of my circumstances. Barry Sanders had Daddy call in for him and then hid behind a book. Sorry but I do not wear moccasins but if I had the gift of a Barry Sanders I know that I would never quit like he did and you would not either. I was in Cabo last summer and I was standing right next to Barry Sanders. He is a tool. He has a big chip on his little shoulder because he knows he is a Sally. He can write books but I will not buy them. You know what- retake your philosophy class or better yet examine yer referenced quote before you jump me. Pasty faced college bred guys like you can think about a LEGEND like Barry Sanders but I will always know him for being a quitter and until you can change history that is what he is and what he will always be........

INDIANAPOLIS at BALTIMORE (1 p.m. ET on CBS)
Las Vegas Spread: Baltimore by 7, total of 47
Home field is worth three points in the NFL, so the market is saying Baltimore would be -4 on a neutral field, and -1 at Indianapolis. This line has risen from a lower opener through the week, spurred largely by news that Ray Lewis will be retiring at the end of this postseason.
WON-LOST RECORDS (schedule strength according to USA Today)
Indianapolis: 11-5 (32nd ranked schedule)
Baltimore: 10-6 (18th ranked schedule)
You can see that the Colts played the easiest schedule of anyone in the NFL, which means they’re barely a playoff team. They were probably a 9-7 squad against an average schedule, possibly 8-8. Baltimore’s slate was close to league average, meaning 10-6 tells their story pretty well. Not good enough to be a bye team. But, playoff caliber as either a Wildcard, or the winner of a disappointing division (they turned out to be the latter).
TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL
Indianapolis: -12
Baltimore: +9
Huge difference here. Andrew Luck has had significant turnover troubles this season, particularly on the road. He’s been too aggressive throwing downfield when playing from behind. He’s been prone to fumble when the pass rush gets to him. There are many playoff matchups where turnover tendencies cancel out, and it’s something else that determines who covers. Here, Indianapolis NEEDS turnovers to cancel out if they want to have any chance to win. Whatever you think of Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco, he’s less turnover prone than Luck in a meeting where that could loom large.
OFFENSIVE STATS
Indianapolis: 362.4 yards-per-game on 5.2 yards-per-play
Baltimore: 352.5 yards-per-game on 5.4 yards-per-play
Very similar units here in terms of raw production. Luck stepped into the league as almost a Pro Bowl caliber quarterback outside of his turnover tendencies. He will need to push that per-play number up as he matures.
DEFENSIVE STATS
Indianapolis: 374.2 yards-per-game on 6.0 yards-per-play
Baltimore: 350.9 yards-per-game on 5.2 yards-per-play
Baltimore has a clear edge here. It’s important to note though that Indy plays a “bend-but-don’t-break” style of defense that generally shows up better in scoring stats than it does in yardage stats. If they can keep that up vs. playoff caliber teams instead of the #32 ranked schedule, they have a chance to take this game right down to the wire.
INDIANAPOLIS VS. PLAYOFF TEAMS (3-2 SU, 3-2 ATS)
Indianapolis (+3) beat Minnesota 23-20
Indianapolis (+6.5) beat Green Bay 30-27
Indianapolis (+10) lost at New England 59-24
Indianapolis (+11) lost at Houston 29-17
Indianapolis (+6) beat Houston 28-16
Indianapolis did post a winning record vs. playoff teams, which is something that rarely happens when somebody plays such a soft schedule. Typically the record vs. top teams exposes them as a pretender. It’s a credit to Luck that he went 3-2 vs. playoff teams. But, it’s also a credit to home field advantage! Indy went 3-0 at home, but 0-2 on the road. Both road games were double digit losses. And, the Green Bay game saw a double digit deficit before a big comeback. You really have to cross your fingers if you’re backing the Colts on the road vs. quality.
BALTIMORE VS. PLAYOFF TEAMS (2-4 SU, 1-5 ATS)
Baltimore (-7) beat Cincinnati 44-13
Baltimore (-2.5) beat New England 31-30
Baltimore (+6) lost at Houston 43-13
Baltimore (+1) lost at Washington 31-28 in OT
Baltimore (+3) lost to Denver 34-17
Baltimore (+5) lost at Cincinnati 23-17
That’s a very poor showing for a team that was supposed to be a Super Bowl contender this year thanks to their more aggressive offense. Note that the two wins came very early in the season, and that the home ATS record was a disappointing 1-2 (with non-covers vs. New England and Denver). Important to remember that Baltimore is really a Wildcard caliber team that happened to win its division, in terms of their form over the last three months.
BEST EXPECTATION
The evidence suggests this game will come down to turnovers. Baltimore hasn’t been playing at a level that would suggest they can run away and hide by themselves. Indianapolis actually has a better record vs. playoff caliber teams. Can Luck avoid key miscues on the road? He couldn’t stay within double digits of New England or Houston on the road. Solve the turnover riddle, and you’ve got the winner.
SEATTLE at WASHINGTON (4:30 p.m. ET on FOX)
Las Vegas Spread: Seattle by 3, total of 46
Seattle has been getting a lot of respect in the markets lately, becoming a popular choice to win the NFC out of a Wildcard slot. This line suggests the Seahawks would be -6 on a neutral field, and -9 at home.
WON-LOST RECORDS (schedule strength according to USA Today)
Seattle: 11-5 (5th ranked schedule)
Washington: 10-6 (15th ranked schedule)
You can see why there’s enthusiasm for Seattle from the sharps right there. They went 11-5 against a killer schedule, which suggests 12-4 or even 13-3 vs. an average schedule. Washington is a legitimate 10-6 against a league average schedule.
TURNOVER DIFFERENTIAL
Seattle: +13
Washington: +17
Amazing stuff for teams with rookie quarterbacks. Both head coaches were smart about running low-risk offenses that exploited the legs of the young signal callers without asking them to do too much downfield. Will one of these two quarterbacks start making mistakes with so much more at stake? Will the winner be well-suited to run the table because they’ve mastered the risk/reward ratio? If you’re talking about rookie QB’s, you’re talking about turnovers one way or another.
OFFENSIVE STATS
Seattle: 350.6 yards-per-game on 5.8 yards-per-play
Washington: 383.2 yards-per-game on 6.2 yards-per-play
Big edge here to Washington, though both grade out much better on a per-play basis than the AFC teams we discussed earlier. Rookie quarterbacks just aren’t supposed to be able to do this in the NFL!
DEFENSIVE STATS
Seattle: 306.2 yards-per-game on 5.1 yards-per-play
Washington: 377.7 yards-per-game on 5.9 yards-per-play
This is where Seattle gets its separation from Washington, and…in the minds of some of the sharps…from other contenders in the NFC. There aren’t a lot of great defenses in the playoffs this year. And, defense wins championships! Washington does not have a playoff caliber defense, which means a hobbled RGIII will have to carry a very heavy load.
SEATTLE VS. PLAYOFF TEAMS (4-1 SU, 5-0 ATS)
Seattle (+3) beat Green Bay 14-12
Seattle (+3.5) beat New England 24-23
Seattle (+7.5) lost to San Francisco 13-6
Seattle (-4.5) beat Minnesota 30-20
Seattle (-2.5) beat San Francisco 42-13
On the one hand, it’s a fantastic indicator to go 4-1 against playoff teams. That’s championship stuff. On the other, Seattle really didn’t beat Green Bay (that was a gift from officials), and they were a bit lucky to survive New England. Be impressed, but keep things in perspective.
WASHINGTON VS. PLAYOFF TEAMS (2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS)
Washington (-3) lost to Cincinnati 38-31
Washington (+3) lost to Atlanta 24-17
Washington(+1) beat Minnesota 38-26
Washington (-1) beat Baltimore 31-28 in OT
The Redskins only played four times vs. playoff caliber teams, which certainly creates some “pretender” potential. Plus, that was almost 1-3 both ways because they had to rally to force overtime with Baltimore at a time of year when Baltimore wasn’t playing great football. Those poor defensive numbers look even worse in this context.
BEST EXPECTATION
If you love defenses, then Seattle deserves the nod here. If you’re hesitant about asking a rookie quarterback to win as a favorite on the ROAD, then Washington starts to look pretty appealing in front of their rabid home crowd.

Just got in. Would love Kelly with the options left at HC.i would love it. Get rid of Vick please, and bring some excitement to the offense. McCoy, Brown, Maclin, and D-Jax give the Eagles so much speed in those positions it would be fireworks every time on offense. would be fun. Now just resurrect Jim Johnson or get zombie JJ on the D, and i would be happy to lay money on the birds next season

Great story, DD. Great read. Congrats on 50k, and your FFAWT contributions, gb!50kSo I was in Africa about ten years ago and as you can imagine, pretty much anything goes there. Gas stations consisted of benzine in a glass bottle, kids would fight like jackals over a snickers you just gave them and I have actually seen a chick fill a pot hole in town with a healthy poop in the middle of the day. I was there with the Air Force and there are a lot of rules governing behavior, dealing with the population and things that could hurt the credibility of the mission.So we were in Northern Cameroon near the Tchad, Nigeria and Central African Republic borders, the outer edges of the Sahara. We were staying in a pretty decent hotel for the mission which was to deliver and administer various medical treatments to villages all over this wasteland. Pretty cool, people walked 50 miles to come get a tooth pulled!So General Order #1 was absolutely, under no circumstances...were we to have the secks with any local chicks. Reason? Estimated Aids rates in the local area were 30% to 60%!!! Problem was when we'd get back to the hotel each night there were 15-20 scantily dressed African women, fully browned and delicious. Anyway, they were all hookers. So they had to remove them every night after complaints from the command staff but they kept coming back. So I wasn't going to let a good opportunity pass me by so I asked one of the girls what their rates were. I was referred to a man in a felt hat (Even if it wasn't felt I wanted it to be, so it was) who tried to tell me it was $100 for an hour. I said nothing turned and walked away. So the guy chased me down and almost tackled me. He said $50? I said $10? He said $40? I said $10. He said no, I left.So I told this story to some weird guy we were out there with (he was an inoculation specialist or something) and he said he had never had a black woman. I told them he would be taking a big chance even with latex and he said he had other ideas. So the next day I went back to the Felt Hat and began what was to be an hour of intense negotiations. I said I would not pay $40 for one, but would pay $40 for three. His starting point for three was $150 which I told him made no sense if he was giving me one for $40. When we finally settled on a price we had to start all over again because he wanted to pick the girls, some cost more than others apparently which I thought he was making up on the spot (Nigerian guy). So finally we settled on three girls of my choice for $65. Now the guy that wanted one had already given me $40 plus a $20 "finders fee" which allowed me two girls for $5. But I wasn't crazy enough to do anything with chicks that might have Aids-ridden ######s, so I took all three girls to the hotel manager's office where we had access to a cot and the twot. Went to get the guy and brought him down to see the girls but did not tell him there were three. When he got there he said, "so which one do I get?" I said, "all three, two on me buddy." I told him I needed to see all the girls naked to make sure they met his high standards first so I had all three strip down and then felt sick I wasn't able to do anything. He assured me all he was getting was a handy and whatever else, but no penetration (I didn't care, I did it for the comedy and the borderline criminal aspects). Left the guy and the girls, went about my business and then to my room (we were staying three to a room IIRC). About two hours later I heard a knock on the door next door and heard, "sir, we have a problem!" The vice commander was next door, he went with the MP to investigate. Apparently the guy I got the girls for not only had intercourse with them but also left his DNA in one of the girls on purpose, which the girl didn't agree to nor particularly care for. So a huge fight broke out and the girls took the guy's cloths and locked him in the office. The MPs heard the ruckus and responded and when they got there they saw a naked Airman on top of the guy with the felt hat, rolling around on the floor with a couple of homeless dogs. The girls were screaming, a crowd formed and some bystanders (possibly gangsters) had even brandished a weapon. MPs broke it up and they did interviews and all of that. I was ####ed, no way this dude was going to leave me out of this I thought...I was gonna be sent home in disgrace for arranging a prostitution ring. So that night, nothing. Next day, nothing. No one came to talk to me. A few days later I finally saw the guy and he just smiled, nothing was said. They sent him home that day but he allegedly told the MPs a story of deceit and betrayal, a heinous crime was committed against him. He said that the guy in the felt hat wanted his seed and the three girls were the man's daughters. At knife point he was to impregnate all three, or die. Stranger things have happened in Africa...Not sure if he ever got the Aids.

Gentlemen, I will have you know, when we have our FFAWTPhilly guys corn hole, look for the svelte, handsome gentleman who is adorned by multiple lady friends he met walking in
No seriously, I used to be overweight (240 at 5'8" was when my doctor gave me ish), but am back to respectable-like these days. For the single FFAWT guys showing up, just ended a 10 month-er with a lady friend, so I'll prowl with ya.Let's do this. Booked up the next few weekends, but I could do a early Feb deal.

tl;dr50kSo I was in Africa about ten years ago and as you can imagine, pretty much anything goes there. Gas stations consisted of benzine in a glass bottle, kids would fight like jackals over a snickers you just gave them and I have actually seen a chick fill a pot hole in town with a healthy poop in the middle of the day. I was there with the Air Force and there are a lot of rules governing behavior, dealing with the population and things that could hurt the credibility of the mission.So we were in Northern Cameroon near the Tchad, Nigeria and Central African Republic borders, the outer edges of the Sahara. We were staying in a pretty decent hotel for the mission which was to deliver and administer various medical treatments to villages all over this wasteland.

What the happened in here last night? I called it the night a bit early to get an
rangedot: and all hell broke loose.That Kent State Team is every bit as good as the MAC Champ NIU, and probably would have been better if not for the NIU superior kicking game. Ark State is a good team by Sun Belt Standards and they did play much better at the end of the year. If I can get a FG I'm going to side with the MAC team that played against better competition the whole year and managed to keep it close and win all year long.I can see a Bama 20-7 win.

Wild Card winner at Denver Broncos - AFC Divisional Playoffs
Sun 1/6 123 Any wild card winning team +9 -115
1:00PM 124 Denver Broncos -9 -115
They have baltimore at +8.5 and Indy at +10.5. I cant see Baltimore staying at +8.5 and would assume ends closer to 10, if not on the other side. Take Denver now at -9?

Yep! Shots on Goal props, here we come...As far as the Packers, I'm guessing the public bets based on what they've just seen. 49ers didn't finish the season all that strongly and AR and the Packers looked sharp vs. the Vikes so I strongly feel this will move off of the 3 even though it's hard to do.I'm going to take the Pack now and then see what the line does.

Kent St. +3 1/2 for 1/2 unit. The only thing making me scared to make this a full unit play is it seems that most of the guys I follow and respect are on Ark St. I don't see it. MAC has pretty much owned the Sun Belt this bowl season, I think Kent has been the more impressive team and you're getting a hook. We'll see.
As far as next week's playoff games, I'll be playing Green Bay at the 3 as soon as it's posted on Bovada and I'll look to play New England as well, although I'll probably wait to see if it falls below 10. Anything under 14 will have me on Denver next week and I highly doubt I play the ATL game.

I don't know what I'd do if one of these d-bags were my kids but I know what I'd do if this happened to my daughter. Do you get FFA privileges in prison?Well, this isn't the happy-go-lucky kind of stuff we have been having in here tonight bud, but it is interesting nonetheless. I have no idea what i would do if one of those d-bags was my kid. I guess you come to the realization that you are an atrocious parent and have failed in raising a productive member of society. And than i guess you either deny the whole thing or ignore it. For me, I am pretty sure things would get ugly. Luckily I work hand in hand with child protective services so when my kid calls them for me smacking him around they can get a good laugh out of it. And big fan of that Anonymous group, love reading about them and seeing some of what they do. And that is the last i will try of serious talk in here, especially while we are in the middle of the NFL playoffs. We can try this again in mid week, or a few weeks Bud, and I would talk it up for awhile. Especially if you catching me on a 4-figure winning day/night

I think the Ravens are living on their past reputation more than anything. They are probably the most overrated team in the NFL based on their record vs. their talent level, especially on defense. All of the wise guy money is on BAL which is keeping me off of this play, I heard someone on the radio last week say that the Colts are the worst NFL team to make the playoffs in many years, but Baltimore did it with smoke and mirrors this year. If it went higher than 7 I'd play it. Probably should tease it but I kind of got burned out on teasers this year.

Good morning, Jellyocks!!!
Not planning on playing any sides today (
), but I think if I did, I would like Baltimore ML and Redskins +3. I still think Baltimore is overrated but the Clots are even more overrated. Would anyone be surprised if either Baltimore romped 27-10 in a very workmanlike fashion or the Clots snuck by 24-23 because the Raisins shot themselves in the foot? And in the other game, I think Seattle is still the better team and it looks like the wiseguy money drove this up to -3. It's just hard for me to imagine this as anything other than a close game. I wouldn't be surprised if someone wins by 3, so taking the points makes sense.
