It isn't that difficult if you know how much candy you have at the start. I think Mike has said that they give away big bars of candy. Word of that spreads like wildfire (pun) among the kids on the street.

So, it would seem that the Jelly Bean Initiative has been abandoned. My work here is done.

Forgot to mention one of my favorite portions of the weekend show from a couple weeks ago - when talking to Tom Izzo about the Illini this year, Pappy liked the Illini's chances this year with talents like Wayne Blackshear, who I believe, is a high school Senior that is going to Louisville next year.

The new feature on the website is a daily "Mike North's 5-Minute Half Hour News Show" segment. I like to punish myself, but even I won't subject myself to the Mike North all-subjects talk-fest again. Somebody else can take up that cause.

His explicit instructions are to NOT fade him!

Is the game on Sunday? If so, good luck with that. He's 100% on Sundays.

If you're lucky they'll move the game to Saturday where he's only 63-65%.

11/12 Bookie Priest picks
Dolphins +2 (Over Titans)
GOTW: Seahawks +3 (over Arizona)

His voice is more pirate this week. argh.

I'm tired of this. It's not really any fun any longer.

When he only makes 1 pick every two weeks, even he can get that math right.

His handicapping has morphed into Bookie Priest videos and that is more commitment than I'm willing to make.

OK, I can't help myself. He lost 300 beans last night on the Bears game over 40.

So, he's +6570.

And this has to be the strangest update yet. What the hell is he talking about...I think he's really lost his mind...

OMFG....I'm pounding my head on my desk! What a NO TALENT - UNFUNNY stupid SOB he is. He never ceases to amaze me with his level of BAD. I'll never buy a car from Athens EVER...because now I associate them with pure stupidity.

I won't believe that Athans pays for that unless i see an actual check.

I missed his bookie priest prediction of Washington over Philadelphia. Yes he did.

His cigar falls off partway through. Hilarious...

Stanford -6.5
Michigan +5.5

Touting 101, make up point spreads. Michigan was no higher than 4.5 on Friday.

Bengals -5.5
Carolina +10

The number in both NFL games is moving against him.

1-3 for the week even with the free point in the Michigan game. It looks like the bookie priest will have to wait at least another week to get some new vestments.

Broncos +10 for 100 beans.

Here we go again. Where is the number 10? I haven't seen 10 since late last week. Even blowdog is hanging a 9. He hits a bump in the road, and now he starts making up point spreads. What a joke.

Doc, this play should be graded at 9. That is what is available today, when his blog was released.

Look out, he's starting to dip into some NBA action!

Pappy must be heading out of town to be putting up NBA games that are 5 days away. I'm not even sure where he's getting that line. I couldn't find any spreads for Sunday NBA action online.

+6470

NFL
Sunday Seattle +1 over Kansas City - 200 Beans

NBA
Sunday Houston Pick over Oklahoma City 100 Beans

Who has a line out for that game yet? Both teams play two games between now and Sunday. Many books don't even have tomorrow's games lined yet.
