Apart from the fact that the Giants are a better team the fact that Minny thought they had a home game then have to travel for an away game in essence, gives the G men even more of an edge.
On NY for 300 -4 GL ALL

How does he not make up a name to go on there. That's just awful...
I surmise he was so pist off at the world at 26 years old, and has received so much harassment with that name up to this point in his life, he probably just said, "Fuck it".

Great clip on Larson. Good luck with the Giants play.
Glad you enjoyed the Larson clip.
You look like a refined gentlemen in that pic...a game-show connoisseur who has watched a veritable boatload of Press Your Luck, Price is Right, $100,000 Pyramid, Sale of the Century, and Let's Make a Deal who can appreciate posts such at these...

Well played Mr. Larson... Extra credit for the obscure yet poignant reference...
Thanks
And now for the Michael Larson life story conclusion...
After Larson won the $110,000 CBS decided they'd cap the winnings at $75,000 for any one game-show. In addition they added a true algorithm to the board to ensure no one could attempt to memorize its sequences ever again. (costing the show even more money to take a hiatus and revamp it)
What did Larson do with his money? Like many here, he didn't like work and $110K was not enough.
Half went into a Ponzi scheme which he promptly lost.
The other half? On a local radio show he heard of a contest for matching serial numbers on $1 bills. If you had the serial number read on the radio on one of your bills (which I presume was either sent into circulation as a counterfeit of simply attained from the Fed), you won $30K. Quick way to recoup some of the $50K you lost in the Ponzi scheme right?
Wrong.
Larson withdrew his remaining winnings in $1 bills and searched for the number for days. Then, right around this time of year, he put the money in closet in paper bags and went to a Christmas party with his wife.
Of course someone broke in and took every red cent.
Ah well, his ingenious scheme on Press Your Luck was unparalleled at the time and lives as the greatest contestant heist ever with what was essentially a pre-determined outcome if he could hit his 'stop' button at the right time.
Tonight....
This G-Men victory honors one man and one man only...
MR. MICHAEL LARSON
And remember, next time you wanna bet the entire slate of NFL games, remember the word that propelled Mr. Larson to his epic victory on national television...
STOP!!!
