I was born and raised in San Diego, California - so I'm still a big baby during the Minnesota winter. My 10 year old son, Isaac, is the most important thing in the world to me - but don't tell that to my dog or three cats. I am a sports fanatic, and admittedly, a fan of most types of gambling (good thing I never have any money, eh?) I love St. Cloud, and currently live in the great city of Sauk Rapids....Go Storm!

Ty James’ Week 5 NFL Locks
Last week was "money, money, money, money" - as only the Rams let us down. Did your bookmaker start running with his tail between his legs, when he saw you coming to collect? Hopefully so.
Don't feel bad for "the man", however, because there are plenty of suckers out there...
Ty James’ Week 4 NFL Locks
Only the Jets let me down last week - as we crushed the bookmaker with three solid, easy winners. I love the action this week - as I will try to nail my first "5-pack" in a while.
This is the time of the season that the real contenders, start separating themselves from the "wannabes"...
Ty James’ Week 3 NFL Locks!
If it wasn't for a late New England touchdown, we would've had a perfect week 2. I love the action in week 3 - as injuries and line-up changes begin to have a very significant impact on every Sunday's results.
There are a few "sucker bets" out there this week, so tread carefully, because all those home underdogs are not going to lose...
Monday Night Football Is As American As It Gets!
Today marks the 41st anniversary of the first Monday Night Football game. There was no way to know on that night in Cleveland, that the entire landscape of the sporting world, and especially the popularity of the National Football League, was about to change forever...
Most Disappointing Viking So Far – Coach Frazier!
There is no question that the play of Donovan McNabb has been iffy, at times so far this young season. Penalties have hurt the Vikings, as well. The defense has given up touchdown drives at crucial times. There is a lot of blame to go around, for sure...
Ty James’ Week 2 NFL Locks!
Week 1 in the NFL season is always a little bit wild. There's always a few results that have most of the football world scratching their head. Last week was no exception.
The two most surprising scores, to me, were the 'Skins whooping the Giants, and the Bills winning big in Kansas City
...
Ty James’ Week 1 NFL Locks
The NFL season is finally underway - and we got a pretty entertaining game from Lambeau Field last night. The Packers won, and covered the spread - no shock there - many of us know that the Pack is usually MONEY at home. The game also easily went OVER the total...
BUSTED – 2011 Fantasy Football Busts!
Yesterday I covered some sleepers for this fantasy football season, and today we will discuss the busts.
A 'bust' is not necessarily a bad player - he is just a player that, for whatever the reason, will not perform up to the generally expected level...
Are You Ready? 2011 Fantasy Football Sleepers!
Let's be honest, most of us are glad this football season is proceeding as scheduled, and it's not because we think our favorite team is going to win the Super Bowl. Heck, many of us love a team that is a playoff longshot every year.
But we can always dream about building that fantasy football dynasty...
McNabb Gives Vikings Fans – At Least The Smart Ones – Reason For Optimism!
To my surprise, the acquisition of Donovan McNabb by the Vikings, has been met in the twin cities with mixed emotions. Because I am not a native Minnesotan, I am often bewildered at the feelings, opinions, and thoughts that I often hear from Minnesota sports fans...
