Royal Review
By Victor Ludorem
Last week the feel at Royal Sports was much better than the previous week. Better like the difference between dropping a bowling ball on your toe and refrigerator on your head. Believe me the difference is significant. Some places might fret or distress over processing so many payout requests but we are so proficient at it, the only one’s bitching are the accountants and the FedEx guy. Royal pays ’like lightning’. Read along further to find out why.
In a classic remake of Aesop’s ‘Tortoise and the Hair’, the Terps beat the unshaven Mountaineers of West Virginia 32-20. This time the 8 out of 9 bettors backing the Turtle drove the line from –7.5 to –9.5 across the finish line watching Maryland collect more turnovers than Sara Lee. So much for a quick start, but we got some back in a couple of nail-biters when South Carolina got their first victory ever against the Crimson Tide, 37-36. In this exciting, hard-hitting Dixie Duke Fest too bad the public took the Gamecocks -6.5 instead of Franchione’s Bama squad. Next up, everybody’s favorite the Sooners –5 gained only 9 yds.on the ground and still maintained the nation’s longest winning streak somehow. A 7to1 ratio of bettors is still puzzled how the K-State Wildcats kept coming back on OU in this Big12 battle, but we’re glad they did just so we could pay all the folks who loaded up on UCLA-4 versus Oregon St. Must of been somebody’s big game of the century. Like never before, there were so many people jumping naked on this one you could have started 3 Nudist Colonies. The Bruins took a road trip to lick the Beavers in every offensive category. This contest was not even as close as the 38-7 Beaver ass- whooping might indicate. One of the biggest stands ever…. down the drain in Corvallis.
It would seem most people went out to celebrate how easy Saturday was. The cure for a post- victory party pounding hangover is to pick a “No brainer” and go back to sleep it off. That’s just what they did with the Colts laying anywhere from 9 to 12 on the road against the hapless Patriots. With backup Tom Brady filling in for faded star QB Bledsoe and no running game to speak of, the pickings looked oh-so easy. Just put Manning, James and Harrison in all your parlays and hit the snooze button. Even better yet to tease and super-tease your return visit to the sandman. Not! Anyone who tuned in late for the highlights must have felt like Rip VanWinkle watching Peyton throwing two touchdowns to the wrong team! Final Scorch: NE 44 Indy 13, huge for Royal. Another big stand was set up on Monday Night with no interest on either side, all the action was on the total here. The Niners were expected to air it out but instead ran for over 200 yards shredding a porous NYJ defense. The Jets’ air-attack was also grounded and a battle for field position ensued. The ball stayed near midfield or just close enough for the former XFL place-kicker Jose Cortez to boot 4 enchiladas through the uprights much to the dismay of the public and the delight of our FedEx guy.
