Alliance... » The Degenerate Gambler had been running on a 3-week

As we head into the final weeks of the season Los Angeles Chargers Jerseys Stitched , the Chargers are looking good. win streak until last week. His instincts were right in most regards, but things just didn’t fall his way. He said it would be a three-point game, determined on the last play. Correct! He said Roethlisberger would throw for a lot, and that was true, too. But he thought it would be a more defensive game, and it was not.Each week the Degenerate Gambler, a ne’r-do-well NFL betting compulsive gambler, puts $100 on the line on various bets that the Chargers faithful might have some opinions about. Let’s take a look at what went wrong last week, shall we?Week 13:Chargers @ Steelers Wager 1 Total Points (Under 52.5) $45 [-110] L$0Wager 2 Total receiving yards - A. Brown (<84.5) $10 [-115] L$0Wager 3 Total receiving yards - A. Ekeler (>28.5) $15 [-110] L $0 Wager 4 Total passing yards - Big Ben (>301.5) $15 [-115] L $0Wager 5 No team scores 3 consecutive times $15 [+200]L$0 Week total:$ -100.00Season total: $ -1.46Well.That could have gone better.In 5 fell swoops, the season’s profits were effectively wiped out completely. Not a good day at the office. Luckily for you and I Youth Nasir Adderley Jersey , the Degenerate Gambler has built enough credit over the weeks prior that he was easily able to scrape up $100 to lay on the line today. Week 14Bengals @ ChargersWager 1 Total points (Over 48.5) $45 [-110]Wager 2 Total receiving yards- M. Williams (>39.5) $15 [-115]Wager 3 Interceptions thrown - J. Driskel (>.5) $20 [-225]Wager 4 Total Field Goals Bengals (>1.5) - Bengals $20 [+125] Total possible win: $87.84Total possible loss: Everything (again!)Well, let’s take a look. The Degenerate Gambler doesn’t feel that the Chargers will have any problem clearing the +16.5 spread, but he’s not touching that with a 10-foot pole. There is no incentive for teams to go up by 3 touchdowns in the NFL, so if they are 14 points above the Bengals in the 4th, they’d better give Geno Smith some reps. Garbage time will ruin that spread, but don’t take the Bengals either. They are really decimated right now. However, he’s giving Ohio the benefit of the doubt by taking the total Over. The Chargers have been able to put a lot of points on the board lately, and this should really be a 30 point endeavor at minimum. With lots of points on the board, receiving yards should be a-plenty. Again, be wary of them taking out Rivers Nasir Adderley Jersey 2019 , so receivers are a nice bet to aim for.Those looking at Wager 4 might be wondering why there is a +125 attached to what should be a shoe-in. Well, their kicker, Randy Bullock, has only made 2 FGs on the day once this season. He was 1-1 last week and 0-2 in all the three weeks prior to that. They haven’t attempted many kicks, but when they do.. it’s not been good. That said, the Degenerate Gambler is a proven sucker for positive bets. The Bengals are going to be eager to get points on the board against the LA defense, so it sounds reasonable that they’ll have to attempt 3 or so kicks. Just make two of those, Randy. -Jason “Don’t let the tiger catch you by the tail” Michaels Former NFL linebacker Shawne Merriman has been named as a defendant in a wrongful-death lawsuit filed by the estate of a woman who died of a drug overdose in 2017.According to TMZ.com, the parents of Kimberly Fattorini have alleged that Merriman drugged and possibly assaulted her before she died of a drug overdose. The death, ruled accidental at the time Cheap Nasir Adderley Jersey , determined that Fattorini died due to an overdose of alcohol, cocaine, and GHB, commonly known as a date-rape drug.The family contends that the allegations will be supported by text messages and other evidence that they believe will show Merriman gave Fattorini GHB. Text messages that apparently will be used as evidence in the case allegedly include one person saying “Shawn killed her ass, what a f–king idiot” and another person saying of Merriman, “That dumbass been drugging girls for years.”“As of right now Shawne, nor his attorney, have any knowledge of him being named in any lawsuit,” Merriman’s representative told TMZ.com. “This alleged lawsuit is baseless. Shawne attended an after party more than two years ago where a young woman unfortunately overdosed. . . . The police thoroughly investigated and found no wrongdoing whatsoever by Shawne. The fact that they are raising this now, two years after the fact Youth Michael Schofield Jerseys , demonstrates the baseless nature of these allegations.”Actually, the fact that the lawsuit was filed two years after the fact shows merely that the lawyers decided to wait until the eve of the applicable statute of limitations to file the lawsuit; the delayed filing is irrelevant to the merit of the lawsuit or lack thereof. It’s possible that the lawyers tried to resolve the case without filing suit, recognizing that keeping claims like this from ever becoming public has value when it comes to determining a fair settlement amount — and waiting until the last possible moment to make the allegations formal and public.It’s not surprising that Merriman and his lawyer aren’t yet aware the lawsuit was filed. There’s usually a lag between the filing of a lawsuit and service of the summons and complaint on the defendant. If, as TMZ.com reports, a lawsuit was filed, Merriman will be getting a copy of it soon enough.
