FMAD November 13th

Degenerate Dozen - Week Ten

After a fantastic Week Nine, Gator Jason has vaulted back to the front and looks to repeat as Grand Champion but newcomers AC Jerome and Pooty Inc. and aged casket Buchananite loom. The Degenerate Dozen can't be won with one good pick but it can be lost that way.

The New FMAD - November 13th

My loving and adoring fans and those who hate my guts,

I'm so very glad to be able to confidently say we are coming back to the airwaves without any mental reservations or purpose of evasion. The future's so bright I need to put sunglasses over my eyes.

Degenerate Dozen - Week Nine

A short primer to understand the picks: A minus sign (-) next to a team means that team is the betting favorite and must win by more than the point spread. A plus sign (+) next to a team means that team is the betting underdog and can either win or lose by less than the point spread. A total is the overall number of points scored by both teams in the entire game. Betting the "over" means they will score more than the total and betting the "under" means they will score less than the total.

An Open Letter To Man V. Food

Dear members of the Man V. Food production team,

Degenerate Dozen - Week Eight

Halfway through this NFL season and the top half of the Degenerate Dozen is bunched up while the bottom half is living on a prayer. Never say never in the world of sports handicapping though.

Great Moments In Poker History Redux

Just hours after we posted about some of the poker hands and scenes near and dear to my heart and just weeks after Black Man After Dark forgave Phil Ivey for getting bluffed out of a hand with pocket kings (go here for the gory details), Mr. Ivey gives us a true gem.

Great Moments In Poker History

Not only am I an avid poker player but a lot of the loyal FMAD readers are also into the true sport of kings. After an overload of watching a lot of poker lately and with the World Series of Poker "November Nine" final table coming up in mere weeks (which will be the base for an entire separate article), let's look at three of my personal favorite moments in poker history. These are graded on my personal scale of entertainment, not on prowess or importance to the game.

An Open Letter To Adam Richman

For those not familiar Man Vs. Food is a television program where the host, Adam Richman, goes around the country competing in contests of amounts of food or spice of food while sampling the most exciting culinary opportunities every city has to offer. He isn't going to Bobby Flay's latest catastrophe, he will be at the local diner drinking ten milkshakes instead. Since I am a humanitarian first and a pop culture icon second, I want to take this opportunity to reach out to the host and see if we can get him to quit while he's ahead.

Dear Mr. Richman,

Degenerate Dozen - Week Seven

We are pushing forward in the Degenerate Dozen. All it takes is one good week for current basement owners CB Town, SW Dave, and um...some other guy to get back into the game.
