Always Be Covering: It’s Not Who You Bet On, It’s Who You Bet Against


Hey brah, I’m not wearin’ a bra, brah!

Welcome to another week of Always Be Covering, the blogosphere’s premier source for retarded gambling advice. While the bets we make won’t always play out the way we envision, it certainly does make things interesting to see them blow up every week (I really did bet on that Thigpen guy…twice). What’s the alternative, dumping all of your money into one of those fancy financial stocks? That’s all well and good, but then every Sunday all you get to do is cheer for all the teams to play well. You pathetic piece of shit. Just sack up and make some foolhardy wagers based upon those of a blogger under the influence of various substances.

On to the picks!


The “Because Not All of These Home Favorites Are Going to Cover” Road Dog Singles of the Week

Pittsburgh +3.5 at Philadelphia
Donovan McNabb, Brian Westbrook, and Andy Reid’s annual attempt to suck me in before draining my Bodog account have snagged me in the past, but this year I’m not letting them fuck me like that. Besides, the Steelers are easily one of the five greatest teams in NFL history and it makes Ape turn all red when you talk about it. I don’t see what the big deal is, then again I don’t believe in jinxes. In fact, I fucking love it when people talk up my favorite teams.

What’s that? Jason Campbell has all the tools to win the NFC and Gilbert Arenas is going to average 35 a game in the second half of the season before leading the Wizards to a playoff win over the Cavs? Please elaborate!

Cleveland +2.5 at Baltimore
Let’s all welcome Joe Flacco back into our lives and wait for the inevitable failure to shine through. Although I’m sure having an unscheduled bye in the second week of the season will do wonders for Baltimore’s rhythm. Who am I kidding? Derek Anderson’s just gonna screw me again (I do however believe in the reverse jinx, because that’s just science).

Carolina +3.5 at Minnesota
Did you hear that Adrian Peterson didn’t practice and might not play this week? Did you hear that Gus Frerotte is playing quarterback and his only receivers that don’t totally suck will be playing hurt, if at all? Did you hear that Steve Smith has been sitting around for two weeks waiting to make Antoine Winfield squeal the way Steve Smith’s bitch outta squeal? I forgot where I was going with all of this.

The “I’m never betting on Detroit again” Parlay of the Week…

San Francisco -4 vs. Detroit
The Lions can’t cover for shit. I’m so confident in this concept that I’m putting money on those crappy, you’re not fooling anybody, Niners. The last time I put money on them Alex Smith was getting blowjobs from rebellious Mormon cockfiends.

Jacksonville +5.5 at Indianapolis
No Bob Sanders? Here’s all of my money.

The Single Game Parlay of the Week…

Denver and New Orleans OVER 51
The largest number of the week, and rightfully so. Both teams have been gone over their number in the first two weeks of the season, and both teams are going to throw the shit out of the ball.

Denver -6 vs. New Orleans
The Saints will get back a few of the defenders they were missing last week in Washington, and not a moment too soon. But if they’re counting on the Scott Fujita’s and Randall Gay’s of the world to go from a team that gave up 455 yards to Jim Zorn to a team that can shut down the Broncos then they’ve been sipping on some GHB Hurricanes (or as they’re known during Mardi Gras, Hurricanes). Brandon Marshall is going to beat up on them like they were his former domestic partner. Uhh…the moratorium on domestic violence jokes is still six months, right? RIGHT?!

So uh…yeah. Hey, here’s a picture!

It’s relevant because Shockey plays for the Saints. Also, he’s a girl with low self-esteem who will get naked for money.

SEXY UPDATE!

    Nice to see sexy Friday has arrived

    Also, I like the Falcons -4.5

  2. Christmas Ape Says:

    Damn your Jew jinxes!

  3. TDub Says:

    /Looking for two post-it notes to put over their faces.

  4. Nince Veil Says:

    Neither of those girls are over 18, hell neither is over 16.

    I am conflicted, should I be feeling bad?

  5. NoTeamGo Says:

    Sign you may look at too much internet porn-when you can name the girls posted on “Always Be Covering” more easily than naming the 5 people sitting around you at the office.

  6. Broseph Stalin Says:

    Woah, woah woah, Ape dropped a hard J…

  7. Unsilent Majority Says:

    They are both performers in the adult industry, so yes they are certainly over 18.

  8. SofaKingHuge Says:

    Love me some Allison Angel with some gambling.

  9. Nince Veil Says:

    @ UM - Thank you for relieving my guilt.

    /back to being a creepy, disgusting, overweight, drooling, balding, old lech/pig

  10. Bob Says:

    “They are both performers in the adult industry, so yes they are certainly over 18.”

    Link, please!

  11. devin hester's speech coach Says:

    The eyes on the girl on the right just scream “I’ll blow you for an 8-ball.”

  12. Unsilent Majority Says:

    NSFW!

  13. twoeightnine Says:

    Mmmmm, Skittles.

  14. StuScottBooyahs Says:

    Jacksonville +5.5 at Indianapolis
    No Bob Sanders? Here’s all of my money.

    Who needs Bob Sanders? The Jags have a shitty offense.

    Also, I’m going to need a bit more than two weeks before I decide that Jay Cutler is capable of shelling anyone on a regular basis.

  15. Daydream Billiever Says:

    Jags have no o-line and MoJo Drew is injured, Sanders will not be necessary. The question is whether Peyton can actually get the offense going from the beginning of the game.

    also, the girl on the left looks like she’s not quite sure what’s going on but is happy to be hanging out with her friend and all these nice people with cameras

  16. twoeightnine Says:

    Lia19 loves to get naked and tease, her dressup sets are very entertaining. This girl isn’t shy, yet you could still take her home to mom.

    Anyone have her phone number?

  17. Unsilent Majority Says:

    Who needs Bob Sanders? The Jags have a shitty offense.

    The Jags and their shitty offense have covered at Indy every year since ‘04.

  18. pistolabus Says:

    “awww, the denver broncos”

    whats wrong with the denver broncos?

    you just dont understand football marge

  19. jackin'4beats Says:

    God, why do you hate me so? You take away the Colts #1 run stopper last week and PJ still can’t find the endzone. Now you get rid of Bob ‘Hit Man’ Sanders and MJD is hurt. Can you put the Jesus healing power on MJD this week? 3TDs is all I ask for, then I’ll leave you alone until next week. Oh and heal PJ’s hammy - thanks. Amen.

    - j4b

  20. Unsilent Majority Says:

    MJD participated in practice yesterday. He’ll play.

  21. StuScottBooyahs Says:

    The Jags and their shitty offense have covered at Indy every year since ‘04.

    Well fuck me.

  22. StuScottBooyahs Says:

    Not that I should be handing out gambling advice, but Carolina +3.5 and San Diego -8.5 are my stone cold locks of the week! /puts giant lock on desk

  23. Mike Lupica Says:

    Do girls that look like they’re twelve go with Sexy Friday? Must be the pig tails and stripey socks.

  24. glass_family Says:

    Alison Angel, I would do dirty, dirty, DIRTY things to you.

    Alright, gotta go start the morning in my office’s bathroom.

  25. Unsilent Majority Says:

    The Leinart chick is 22, quit bitching or I’ll post pictures of your mom.

  26. Reggie Bush's Pimp Says:

    Probably important for betting purposes: The Saints have signed Joey Harrington.

    I’ll now proceed to let a team of cheerleaders kick me in the groin.

  27. dr_brunster Says:

    I fucking knew that Shockey and Leinart were gay!

  28. 29 Says:

    as opposed to Cooley who takes pictures naked for no monetary compensation whatsoever

  29. Oz Says:

    The least Cooley could do is include his wife in those pictures

  30. glass_family Says:

    P.S. — I think there is also an Alison Angel set with her in a Bears jersey. Or maybe it’s USC. Or something. Whatever. Use it. Please. Every week.

  31. Jimmy_the_Freak Says:

    The one in the Shockey jersey looks like Elisha in a wig.

  32. The Stig Says:

    I was thinking more like pre-21 Chris Evert with no gag reflex, Jimmy, but whatever works yo.

  33. NYcON Says:

    Since when did KSK post kiddie porn? There’s no way those girls are legal!

  34. The Stig Says:

    I’m pretty sure that Alison’s QB rating is well above the Kordoza Line.

    /70.7′ed

  35. NYcON Says:

    whoops! I posted that before reading the other comments. Flame away gents, that was pretty stupid on my part.

  36. NYcON Says:

    although UM might just give us a “sexy grandma Friday” just to spite us next week

  37. The Stig Says:

    Maj, you start posting chicks from Naughty America and I’m setting this thread on fire.

  38. futuremrsrickankiel Says:

    Those girls are definitely my age, if not older. It’s called makeup, boys. You can see the creases in their foundation. Stroke away.

    Also, I have to say that betting on the Panthers feels rull rull good. Do it. Do it now.

  39. Horseballs Fan Says:

    I like your calls on the Denver game….

  40. Booby Miles Says:

    WWRD - What Would Romeo Do?

  41. jackin'4beats Says:

    MJD participated in practice yesterday. He’ll play.

    SWEET! Now I get to rook folwald to him not getting into the endzone for 60 minutes. Just stab me in the nuts already.

  42. Hakim Drops the Ball Says:

    Broncos 47, Saints 29. If the Saints pull that game out, I wouldn’t know how to celebrate…

  43. Rocco Says:

    Because the first thing I always look for is whether she has creases in her foundation. And YES and YES. Kinda looks like my ex.

  44. Otto Man Says:

    The Maj knows a disturbing amount of detail about these ladies.

    What’s the over/under on a restraining order in the near future?

  45. L Says:

    @J4B

    Did you just accidentally type like Hines Ward? If you did, that’s awesome.

  46. ognihs Says:

    i thought all porn girls used too much makeup because they have bad skin? i’m not sure i want to see one of them up close.

  47. Rocco Says:

    @ognihs: Bad skin because of the drugs. And no, up close is not good.

  48. jackin'4beats Says:

    @L - yes, yes I did.

    Glad to see that I’m becoming proficient in Hines-ese. Not all those hard characters to realn and shit like Chi-neesy or Japa-neesy.

  49. jackin'4beats Says:

    can see the creases in their foundation

    @fmra: as long as they don’t have creases in their tits were good to go.

  50. Upstate Underdog Says:

    I’m only worried about one crease

  51. Daniel Snyder's Bongwater Says:

    Now this was a very informative blog. UM you are a scholar and a complete sleaze. Thanks!

  52. Jay Says:

    Hey, I recognise those whores.

  53. david Says:

    @ Jay:

    I’m stealing that quote every time I have to go to my girlfriend’s mom’s house to visit her predominately female family.

  54. porky1 Says:

    #80 has a Jay Cutler “Mr Softee” chin thing going.

  55. ForWhomJayBellTolls Says:

    So I try to post something about the Denver Broncos, and then some guy tries to say I have testicles in my mouth! Yeah real funny man….
