Feed Addresses Changing

Filed under: administration, blog — anothergene @ 1:25 pm

Change is inevitable.  Don’t fear it, embrace it.  I’m piping all my feeds through Feed Burner now.  That includes the main feed for this blog and the comment feed as well.

The new feeds are

GeneMoreau.com/blog - http://feeds.feedburner.com/genemoreaudotcom

Comments - http://feeds.feedburner.com/commentsforgenemoreaudotcom

The old feeds will automatically redirect you through to the feedburner ones, so if you don’t understand any of this you don’t really have to do anything at all.  Great isn’t it?  you could always go find a 15 year old and have them do it too.

Of course, if you are a geek you will want to change these kind of things.  One reason to is to cut some of the lag provided free by my hosting company.  I won’t mention any names.  I guess that’s what you get when you cheap out and pay $10/month.

Week 7 CFL Picks

Filed under: cfl, football, pro-line, sports — anothergene @ 12:37 pm

Wow, what a week six. I don’t even know where to begin with that so I’m not going to. What a week for the under dogs.

On to week 7 picks. I hope things are back to normal, but who knows. I haven’t seen the pro-line odds yet so I’m gonna pick before hand. I may or may not change my decisions once the odds are published.

Calgary @ Montreal: Two 3-3 teams. Calgary has scored more, but has also let more in. I think I’m gonna call this one a tie.

Saskatchewan @ Toronto: The Riders. Toronto is in a bit of a tough QB situation. I don’t think they have it in them.

Winnipeg @ BC: Winnipeg. Looks like Dickenson won’t be back any time soon. I think the Bombers are looking to redeem themselves after that humiliation in Hamilton. They have the talent. Assuming of course they pull their collective heads out of their asses first.

Hamilton @ Edmonton: Edmonton. Hands down. I think the Eskimos are going to shut them down big time.

UPDATE: Ok the Pro-line odds are out and a I stand by my picks. $5 will get you $191.

Week 6 CFL Picks

Filed under: cfl, football, pro-line, sports — anothergene @ 6:11 pm

Ok. I found a lottery outlet while I was on my way go golfing so I do have some picks this week.

Toronto @ Montreal - This one was tough. The odds favour Montreal, but I think it could go either way. Since I thought the rest of them are a easy pics, I bought two tickets. One with Montreal winning, the other with Toronto.

Saskatchewan @ BC - Pretty cut and dried. BC will take this one. I don’t think BC is going to lose many games this year.

Winnipeg @ Hamilton - Not much to say here either. Winnipeg. When was the last time a team went the entire season with out winning a game?

Calgary @ Edmonton - Again, pretty cut and dried. Edmonton.

A $5 bet on Pro-Line will get you $96 if Toronto wins. $55 if Montreal wins.

Have a good weekend and keep it real.

Tiger-Cats’ Scott Mitchell Needs to Suck it Up

Filed under: cfl, football, sports — anothergene @ 9:32 am

Hey Scott Mitchel, I’ve got some advice for you. Suck it up and quit whining. The only thing people hate more then a bad sport is a whiny loser who tries to point the finger at every one but himself for his predicament. How you got to be president of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats with that kind of attitude I’ll never know.

I realize you are currently sitting at 0-5 and by all means looking like you will be 0-7 in a couple of weeks thanks to up coming games against Winnipeg and Edmonton. I’ve played various sports through out my life and most recently Ultimate Frisbee for 10 years now. I’ve played on enough bad teams in my life and been in the same situation and there is no one to blame but yourself.

You complained that the last play field goal attempt by Westwood was “disgusting”. Again I say, suck it up and quit whining. Of the bad teams I’ve played on we’ve had many an ass kicking administered to us. What I hated the most of it was when the other team realizes they’re going to win something like 15 to 2 and they start bringing their level of play down to “give us a chance”. I’ve always felt that is an insult. If you’ve got the ability to score on us that much I’ve always said do it. Run it up as much as you can, but be a good sport about it. I’m not going to whine and say the should not have tried to get that last point. That’s not sporting.
