Marco losing a personal bet to Houston Rockets-loving pool winner Jimmy the Weasel - pretty freakin' priceless. This photo was taken moments after Marco's visit with Jimmy's personal late-night barber.
If it's any consolation, James Harden is making OKC management look like a Titan at a Bear fight.
As for this past weekend, I hope everyone did as well as we did and as well as ESPN reports the general public did. You know it had to be an easy handicapping week when every one of the CBSSports experts were above .500.
Mid-Season Awards to Our Fans
Here at The Spread Zone, we keep on rolling - four winning weeks in a row, 36-19 ATS during that streak, and a remarkable 13-3 ATS with our Friday Fives. Please know that we could not have done this without the continuous support and commentary of our loyal readers. Much like the Seahawks 12th man at CenturyLink Field, the passion, energy, and blind devotion of our fan base propels us from the ranks of sub-par handicappers into an echelon of mediocrity. That's about as much as any gambler can hope for. So, thank you.
Forget the mid-season report cards, NFL team grades, MVP forecast, we're going to keep it simple here at The Spread Zone by honoring our followers in hopes that their recognition from relatively anonymous strangers will shepherd in more traffic.
And now, without further adieu, the 2012 Zonies are as follows:
Best Mustache: No surprise here - Curtis. Our number one fan. And by number one, I mean the first one. You're all equals to us - unless you shop at Amazon.com or OldNavy.com or ebay.com, then your ranking becomes commission-based. Click away people.
Best Gambling Pseudonym: Our newest follower, Mysterio, earns this honor in a landslide. Is there a cooler name than that in the world? Probably, but not as multi-faceted. Mysterio can move effortlessly through the Hall of Justice, the Halls of Hogwarts, and the Halls of the Betty Ford Clinic. This pseudonym says, "Chameleon" and "bi-winner" at the same time.
Best Almost Rock Star: His name makes me want to "run through the halls of my high school" and "scream at the top of my lungs," until I realize it's only Jeff Mayer. You almost had me asking for an autograph, Jeff. Welcome to The Spread Zone.
Best Name that Starts with a J: Sorry, Jeff, you already got one. Jayden - we're glad you're here. Loved you in the Karate Kid and can't wait for the sequel. Keep on dance-kicking.
In all seriousness, thank you all for being here and inspiring our continued success. If you did well last week and you feel like donating a cup of coffee to the cause, check out the Coffee for Vinny and Marco Button. Remember - caffeine is Marco's secret weapon when it comes to out-smarting Vegas.
See you all in the morning,
Vinny and Marco
