Meow, meow, Meow, Howdy!
Well, just as I thought and what they continue to do the Houston Texans hit the First Half bringing me to up 1 unit and 3-4 for the preason with my picks. For those of you that watched the Dallas Cowgirls face the Lady raiders, you go what you paid for, Nothing! Worst display so far. I was tempted to pick dallas for the 2nd half at a pickem but was deterred since they are the cowgirls.
This week, the Texans will face-off with the San Francisco 49'ers my beloved team from my childhood. I am wondering if I should wear my Rice jersey just to piss everyone off, but I will wear my custom jersey.... or maybe I will wear both. The game kicks off at 6pm CST. So far the line is HOU-3 with an O/U of 36.
Yesterday, Kubiak said that Andre Johnsona and Brian Cushing should play this saturday, but more to come later. Also, I will have two more games that I am going to play coming on Thursday before the Thursday Night Games kick-off. Until Then,

Someone grabs the frozen peas....
Howdy!
Well that sucked... Last night preseason games were horrendous. 9 fourth quarter points by the browns killed my DET pick and a non existent cardinals were hammered by KC. That wipes out my 2 u it lead to bring me flush on NFL and 2-4 with picks.
Took some baseball action last night and for some reason felt that the Astros were due and they hit. With Strasberg on the mound for WASH, they continue to smoke with a 7 game win streak. The stupid cardinals let me down with Loshe on the mound, they could provide any support.
Tonight's pick is Houston Texans 1H +2.5. Bulls on Parade!

Thursday Night PreSeason Football Review and FRIDAY NIGHT PICKS
Howdy!,
Last proved to be uneventfull. Nevertheless, not sure if this is one word, but i dont care, The New England Patriots played the New Orleans Saints. Saints were off of a short week, since they played the Hall of Fame game last Sunday, but they were able to cover the 4 point spread favoring NE. This resulted in a loss for me. The Philadephila Eagles (-1.5) played the Pittsburg Steelers, with the Eagles edging out the Steelers by one point, hooray, Loss for me. Finally the third game that I played was the Buffalo Bills vs Washington Redskins (-2.5). I took the bills and ending up winning, by 1.5 points.
Tonight, Presason action continues with the following matchups that I will be playing:
DET(-3) vs CLE
ARI (+2.5) vs KC, will buy that up to +3
MIA (-3) vs TB, Dont know if I will play this, but I might...
So todate for the preseason I am up 2 units..... However, I will be more successful when the season starts. Until then.

Hall of Fame Pre-Season Game Review
Howdy!,
Well this past Sunday was the First Preseason Game of the year. New Orleans vs. Cardinals. For those of you who watched the game are probably suffering from PTSW, Post-Traumatic Sports Watching... The NFL Network coverage was horrible, if not horrendous... During the game they would focus on an interview while the game was still being played. We have waited months for this to happen, at least cut back to the game and still interview the HOF receipent. I did not watch the induction, but John McClain of the Houston Chronicle said that Curtis Martin's speech was by far the best and brought a tear to his eye.
The line on the Game was New Orleans -3, and the covered in dramatic fashion. With about 1:30 left in the fourth, Arizona threw a pick on the 1 yd line and NO sealed the game. This is just the amount of drama that I need. However I won, but the CFL games from last week still have me down. I took BC Lions -3 vs. TOR early Monday and won. Final Score 18-9. Weird Leauge indeed.
I have come to the realization that betting on Baseball is ridiculous and horrible. Needless to say I will continue to play but will stick to 2 team parlays on the moneyline. 3 Straight 2-1 3 team parlays are killing me and the results have put me in the hole. However, I will grind it out and wait until there is an obivous mismatch and conqueur. Side Note: Houston Astros are 3-21 since the All-Star Break.
Houston Texans will play Carolina this Saturday, Houston +2.5 as of today. Will have more info later this week. Until then.

Pre-Season Football Gambling aka "I think I might be a degenerate"
Howdy!,
The time has arrived.... Presason Football kicks off this weekend, Sunday August 5th, with the Arizona Cardinals vs New Orleans Saints. It could not have come quick enough. I have grown tired of following Canadian Football and its weird scoring system and unreliable players. How do you lose a 20 point lead in the 4th quarter Saskatchewan????? Anyways, the lines for this weekend is NO -3 +109. This is my pick and with last season, I play all of my picks in Las Vegas.
Houston Texans will kick off the Pre Season on Saturday August 11th at 6:00 pm CST at Carolina.
TV: ABC-13/KTRK
RADIO: 610 AM/100.3 FM/1010 AM
NO LINE AT THIS TIME
However, if you are interseted in CFL this is what is in store this week.
MTL vs WPG Friday August 3rd
BC vs TOR Monday August 6th

Take a Look Around
Howdy!
Do you feel that there are some movements and exercises at Crossfit that you need more work on? Do you typically arrive at your box 10, 15, or 30 minutes early to your class time? If you arrive early, do you just stand around and watch the class before you do the WOD and tell yourself, OMG I dont want to do that?
Well if you do, you are wasting valuable time. Take this time to work on your double unders, Kipping Pull UPs or Muscle ups if there is room available. Grab your jump rope and practice. Jump on a bar and work on just your kipping motion. Below is a link to a kipping tutorial.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cTAJnIGm6c
Each week the time that you wait for class to start can add up to 30, 45, or 90 minutes of training time per week that you are losing. Add that up per month.... Lots of time.
Also, if there is room available at the racks, get some strength work in. Do your Wendler's 5/3/1 work to increase your strength and your perfomance. Work on clearns, press, jerks, snatches, any thing that will help you at the box. Until next time

Why am I doing this???
Howdy!
Long time no blog... The theme of today's post is to identify the purpose of your goals. Without a clear plan, you will just be wasting time. You have to set your mind to a realistic goal in order to achieve it. Establishing small obtainable benchmarks allows for a higher probability of completing the larger goal. In this scenario the sum is greater than the individual parts.
Let me provide an example. If your goal is to bench press 300 lbs or clean and jerk 265 lbs, and you currently bench 200 and C&J 185, you will not be able to complete this weight successfully with months of hard work an dedication. Following a properly designed training and nutrition program is the only way to do so. I recommend Wendler's 5/3/1 powerlifting system. Nutrition is an important element to sustain the physical activity to add strength and size, if that is your goal. Water is the most important nutrient needed to fuel your body properly. De-hydration will make you sluggish and you will get gassed fast. Before I start to ramble, let me summarize.
1. Write out your Goal
2. Plan some incremental goals
3. Execute them.
4. Make a chart to visualize your goal to stick to it daily.
5. Do IT.
6. Check your progress Monthly to ensure that you are on track
