When you get your money in good and a weak player sucks out it camn be very tempting to put them down, letting them know what you think of their play – but please don\’t! Not only can it not help, it can really work against you since you\’re effectively \”teaching\” your opponents not to make bad plays (and that will hurt you in the long run).

The players that complain online are losers. Mentally and financially. If you want to become a positive ROI player online, this is one of those practices you need to eradicate immediately. This doesn\’t mean talking about dissing yourself, to yourself. I am referring to using the chat box to criticize or insult your opponents\’ decisions.

More often than you think, you are in the wrong anyway, and your opponent\’s play may very well have been correct. Even if it wasn\’t, what would be the benefit to having them uncover something about their lack of understanding of the game? These very players that you feel the need to lash out at, are the same players that make the game profitable for educated poker strategists.

Complaining will also result in tense feelings in your poker game and may produce divisions between other players there who decide to join in the discussion. If you feel upset at the table, you will make further weak decisions while also revealing your own tactical thinking to the rest of your opponents. Ask yourself, how can this help you? It cannot.

There\’s a simple way to do away with complaining to other opponents and that is plainly to not yak and keep your disparagement to yourself. Once you are able hold your tongue, you will find very little yearning to do it to yourself and eventually develop a winning attitude whereby your only desire for contact with your dumb-luck antagonists will be, \”Nice hand\”.

New Orleans Wins First Superbowl In Franchise History

The New Orleans Saints used a 14 point fourth quarter to defeat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17 on Sunday to win their first Superbowl in franchise history. Drew Brees broke open a tight game midway through the final quarter with his touchdown pass to Jeremy Shockey, and Tracy Porter scored on a 74 yard interception return as the Colts were driving on the next series to secure the victory. Brees was named Superbowl MVP on the basis of his 288 yard, 2 touchdown, 0 interception performance.

After enthusiasts had come in early on the favored Colts, a good deal of buyback on the Saints had pushed the line to -4\’ and the New Orleans backers were enriched by their team\’s outright victory. The underdog has now covered three straight Superbowls and taken the money in five of the last seven games. The 48 points scored stayed well under the posted total of 57.

In his postgame interview, Brees gave much of the credit to the city of New Orleans:

\”We play for so much more than ourselves. We played for our city. We played for the entire Gulf Coast region. We played for the entire Who Dat nation that has been behind us every step of the way. It means everything. We\’re here because of their strength and everything they fought through here the last few years. They\’ve given us so much support, so we owe it all to our fans.\”

\”Just to think of the road we\’ve all traveled, the adversity we\’ve all faced. It\’s unbelievable. I mean, are you kidding me? Four years ago, whoever thought this would be happening? Eighty-five percent of the city was under water. Most people left not knowing if New Orleans would ever come back, or if the organization would ever come back. We just all looked at one another and said, \’We\’re going to rebuild together. We are going to lean on each other.\’ That\’s what we\’ve done the last four years and this is the culmination in all that belief.\”

Peyton Manning had little to say after the game particularly about the decisive interception return:

\”Made a great play. Made a great play. Corner made a heck of a play. Certainly disappointing, very disappointing. Disappointing.\”

Saints\’ coach Sean Payton made a bold call at the beginning of the second half when he called for an onside kick. New Orleans linebacker Jonathan Casalis suggested it was a game changing play:

\”We were really excited when he made the call. That changed everything.\”

Payton explained the unorthodox decision:

\”We\’re going to be aggressive. We\’d seen the onside kick all week and guys executed it well. It turned out to be a big change of possession.\”

The city of New Orleans will celebrate their team\’s victory with a parade. With Mardi Gras celebrations already scheduled to begin shortly thereafter, it could be quite some time before New Orleans returns to business as usual. Add New Orleans to cities like Miami, Bar Harbour, Palm Springs and Fire Island as must see spots for any fabulous football fan on the go.

Eagles Add To Redskins Woes

The \’new look\’ Washington Redskins offense under Sherm Lewis looked much like the old offense under Jim Zorn, and the Philadelphia Eagles had little trouble as they opened a 27-10 halftime lead en route to a 27-17 victory on Monday Night Football. DeSean Jackson scored a long touchdown both rushing and receiving, and Donovan McNabb threw for 156 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions in the victory. The Eagles improved to 4-2 on the season, while the Redskins dropped to 2-5.

The Eagles also rewarded NFL betting enthusiasts with the pointspread cover as -8\’ road favorites. Philadelphia is now 4-2 against the number while the Redskins continued their struggles against the NFL pointspread dropping to 1-6. The 44 combined points went OVER the posted total of 38.

Jackson\’s only complaint after the game was that a sore ankle undermined the artistry of his post touchdown tap dance:

\”I was out there having fun, man, honestly. My ankle was kind of hurting. I really didn\’t feel it, but it did kind of affect my dance a little bit. I could put it to perfection a little bit better than that.\”

Redskins\’ defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth suggested that this team has to learn to play as a unit:

\”You can say but so much. You\’ve got to actually want to. So once we get to that point — where we want to do something — then we\’ll do something. But if we just keep going our separate ways, then we\’ll just keep getting slaughtered like we have.\”

Jim Zorn was apparently more interested in playing \’gotcha\’ with the management that replaced him as the Redskins\’ offensive play caller than in analyzing the game:

\”Well, the result was the same. We got 17 points. It was difficult for me. It was difficult to stand and watch. The hard part is to keep your mouth shut.\”

Washington running back Rock Cartwright expressed Washington\’s struggles in a philosophical light:

\”You have to take the bitter with the sweet. And right now we\’re at a bitter moment.\”

The Eagles will host the New York Giants this Sunday, with the game currently \’pick\’em\’ and the total posted at 44. The Redskins have a much needed bye week before they travel south to play the Atlanta Falcons on November 8. They\’ll host the Denver Broncos the following Sunday before playing on the road against the Dallas Cowboys on November 22.

Panthers Derail Struggling Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers\’ quarterback Jake Delhomme struggled on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and was fortunate that his running backs bailed him out. Delhomme threw for only 65 yards with two interceptions, but D\’Angelo Williams (152 yards) and Jonathan Stewart (110 yards) kept the chains moving as the Panthers won their second straight game defeating the Bucs 28-21. Tampa Bay has now lost ten straight dating back to last season and are 0-6 for the first time since\’85. The fact that they ended up starting that year 0-9 on their way to a 1-15 record doesn\’t bode well for the rest of the season. Carolina improved to 2-3 with the victory.

NFL sports bettors were faced with a choice between two teams with dismal ATS records in this game, and those who had the guts to take a 1-3 team as a -3 road favorite were rewarded with the cover. It was Carolina\’s first NFL pointspread cover of the season and left them with a 1-4 record against the number. Tampa Bay has covered one of their six games this year.

Delhomme attempted only seven passes in the second half, but the way Williams and Stewart were running there was no reason to put the ball in the air. Williams said that even though Tampa Bay knew what was coming they couldn\’t stop the Panthers\’ running game:

\”I\’m sure everybody in the stadium knew what we were going to do. There were times they had nine in the box and we were still getting 7 or 8 yards.\”

There\’s been little impatience locally with Bucs\’ rookie head coach Raheem Morris, but his weekly habit of explaining the obvious to rationalize yet another loss is starting to wear thin:

\”We got overpowered at the end, and really throughout the game.\”

Carolina safety Dante Wesley was ejected after clobbering Bucs\’ return man Clifton Smith after a fair catch call. After the game, Wesley gave this defense for his actions:

\”I was just trying to make a play. You can check my record. I\’ve never really tried to hurt anybody. I\’ve never tried to take a cheap shot on anybody.\”

Wesley could face a possible fine or suspension from the NFL but, in all fairness, it did appear to be a momentary mental lapse as he was trying to make a big play and not a deliberate attempt to injure Smith.

Tampa\’s schedule has the look of them going from \’the frying pan into the fire\’ as they host the New England Patriots next Sunday-fresh off of their 57 point drubbing of Tennessee. The Bucs are +14 home underdogs to the Patriots with the total set at 45. They\’ll get a week off after that contest and return to action on November 8 as they host the Green Bay Packers. Carolina has an easier draw, hosting the Buffalo Bills next Sunday. The game is currently off the board pending the status of Bills\’ QB Trent Edwards who suffered a concussion in Sunday\’s win over the New York Jets. The Panthers will then play on the road the following two Sundays, traveling to Arizona and New Orleans.
