Let’s Get Crackin’By exRegionalWeenieSummer stunk. It was boring. You thought you’d give the World Cup a try, but the Americans lost, you endured endless minutes of scoring failures, and, well, it’s only soccer. Plus those awful vuvuzelas irritated the heck out of you. Don’t those people realize how annoying they are? At least most of us will be dead by the next time South Africa hosts another World Cup. So, then you turned to baseball for relief but there was a catch - you were treated to the Year of the Pitcher. Less runs and fewer long balls. Ok, perfect games and no hitters are cool, but the rest of those 3-1 and 2-0 games really weren’t any better than soccer (well, at least you didn’t hear that awful buzzing). What a boring stinkfest. And that’s coming from a hardcore baseball fan. >> Read more... Welcome to the Redesigned dirty-dawg!Here is the change you have been waiting (or could care less) for! After about 3 years of work, and changing our minds at least 4 times, and having a major server crash that lost some of our best work - at least that's what we will alway claim, we have finally redesigned the dirty-dawg website! The majority of changes are really cosmetic, with most of the remainder of the changes designed to make the pages load a little quicker and without choking most mobile devices. Here's a breakdown of some of the bigger changes. There is a new login area in the center of the screen that will let you know

What to Expect This YearMuch like a Vikings or Aggie fan, the beginning of the year is a magical time for the dirty-dawg player. This is surely the year you will finally uncover the formula for perfect dirty-dawg picks. You could base your picks on the opinions of Vegas experts who mearly make a living off selecting winning teams, but where's the challenge in that? They don't know that Louisiana Tech is undefeated on night games played on Croatia's Independence Day. But you, the consumate dirty-dawger, knows those little facts that make your picks solid locks for the Dog Pound Hall of Fame. Besides, those Vegas guys might be right most of the time but someone does walk away winning a big sum of money while visiting the Town of Sin. Speaking of which, have you ever noticed that no one you know ever actually loses money when they go to Vegas? It is incredible when you think about. The 5 or 10 people you know that have gone to Vegas in the last year have all won money or at least 'broke even' when you ask them. That means one of two things - your friends are pathetic liers or there is one (maybe two) people at the bottom of the pyramid bleeding money so that Vegas can stay afloat. These guys would have to lose so much money and have such bad luck that even Clark Griswald would feel sorry for them.
Back to your picks and what to expect. Every week a new set of games will be posted. We will try to make the games challenging and even ones you can also watch on TV if you have the interest. We will post the scores sometime after the last game -generally with an hour or two. However, the Board of Directors at DD have been known to partake in a few too many beverages while watching games and have left doing the high level math until the morning (but this generally only happens when our teams have one of those shocking losses). If something changes the game schedule (like hurricanes), we will try to either adjust the schedule or give you credit for that game. >> Read more... |
