Burger Bowl Week 3: Charleston Edition

Meet you in Charleston BurgerBets!

Meet you in Charleston BurgerBets!

Last Week (3-3) Overall (6-6)

Ok, this is an abridged version of Burger Bowl.  We are headed to Charleston, SC for The Burger Boy’s Bachelor Party so BurgerBets is very busy.  LobstersClaw isn’t coming because he sucks burgers, plain and simple.  You suck!  Anyway, got backdoor covered in the Eagles game last week and I am still furious.  Got to make up for it this week, this .500 crap is boring.

NCAA Picks:

Temple (+14) @ PENN STATE.  The Owl will cover.  Not convinced?  Go to www.pierce4heisman.com and look around.

ARKANSAS (+7) vs. Alabama.  This game will be a shootout that will come down to whoever has the ball last.  Go with Ryan Mallett & the Hogs.  Also love the over 55 for people that are into that sort of thing. 

Stanford (-4.5) @ NOTRE DAME.  Told you I love Stanford.  And I hate Notre Dame. 

NFL Picks: 

San Francisco (-2.5) @ KANSAS CITY.  San Francisco isn’t an 0-3 team and Kansas City isn’t a 3-0 team, that’s why this is a lock.

Detroit (+11.5) @ MINNESOTA.  Minnesota shouldn’t be laying a number this big against one of those lingerie football teams.  Plus, love Jahvid Best on turf.  

Green Bay (-3) @ CHICAGO.  Not a believer in the Bears yet.  Think that Packers D creates some Cutler mistakes.  

As always, bet with me and your burgers are free!

This was the result last time this crew of idiots went down South together.  And yes, that is the Burger Boy in the lei and BurgerBets in the dolphin hat with a black eye (caused by TwiggyBurger).

Plan B Glastonbury, CT

Plan B Burger

Hartfordbusiness.com- They had a simple plan to sell certified natural and certified humane beef, with no hormones, antibiotics, fillers, or colors, raised under the strictest natural food regulations available today. Beef would be ground fresh daily, at the restaurant. And vegetables would come from nearby farms.

“All of our produce is locally sourced in the growing season,” said Gamble, co-owner and CEO. “We work with Rosedale Farms (in Simsbury) right now. We publicize that we get our produce from them, so we hope our customers support them as well.”

Gamble said Plan B has truly developed a following among consumers.

Patty Melt: Heidi Montag

heidi_montag_topless MAIN 20-450x624

Examiner.comHeidi Montag’s relationship with her mother Darlene Egelhoff has been rocky, to say the least. Following a very harsh reaction on “The Hills” to the young star’s decision to undergo ten plastic surgery procedures in the span of one day, the relationship between the two seemed to quickly fall apart.

Now, in a new blog Egelhoff admits that things between her and Heidi have not gotten any better over the course of the past several months:

“Heidi hasn’t spoken to me in six months most likely because in her mind I betrayed and hurt her and likely because she’s assuming the worst of me. I handled her situation poorly and regretfully.

“Knowing in my heart I said what I thought might have the best chance of getting through to her, to MAKE her know that her precious, authentic self was the most beautiful of all God’s creations, doesn’t help my endless, sleepless nights or my ruminating thoughts of how I should have done things differently.”

Buns of the Day- JWoww

Jwow-thesuperficial.com

Bloginity.com-Plenty of JWoww pictures have surfaced on the internet featuring the Jersey Shore cast member in some pretty skimpy attire.  But apparently, JWoww pictures are about to hit a whole new level of skimpiness, as Jersey Shore‘s Jenni Farley has explained she’s been talking to Playboy to ink a deal.  And while everyone assumes this will mean Jwoww naked pictures, Farley said she hasn’t yet confirmed the level of exposure.

“I don’t know yet,” JWoww said. “It hasn’t been talked about yet.”

JWoww isn’t exactly afraid to show it off, and actually had her breasts enhanced “as a birthday present to [her]self.” The Long Island native has been catching some heat for fans due to her fight with cast member Sammi, which you can see in this video. Perhaps naked JWoww pictures are here attempt to smooth things over – if they happen.

Parting of the Seas!

Hello Burger Boy,

So as you know I spend most of my work day screwing around on the net, and trying to do as little as possible and still keep my job. This usually includes a good dose of Legit Games, Barstool, ESPN and Burger Boy.

I noticed that you just did some reviews of Boston Burger places namely Bartley’s. I think you should consider checking out RF O’Sullivans. Its a place that’s right by us and is very tasty. When our friend Jeff  came up we took him here and he loved it… We go every couple of weeks. They have great burgers and beer and is always packed….

On Tues we went and I snapped a few shots of my burger. The “Bacon-ator” as they call it is a 1/2 lb giant stuffed with crumbled up bacon and topped with Swiss cheese. All the red in the middle is the bacon crumbles…

They have like 30 different burgers plus a rotating burger special….Def would recommend checking it out….

Pat

Pat, (great name by the way!) The Bacon-ator look awesome and looks like you did a tremedous job polishing that bad boy off.  I can’t help but notice that your mornings look a lot like mine visiting the same website but just in a little different order!

Next time I’m up your way we’ll roll up the sleeves and go bite for bite and let our freak flags fly!

Happy Eating and thanks for thinking of BB as always!

-BB

PS- In my defense I have given RF’s some love in the past!  Check out Mailbag 9/09

Burger Bowl Week 2: Get your Ducks in a row!

Last Week (3-3) Overall (3-3)

OK so I went 3-3 last week even though I casually pushed the Saints game because the line was 5 by the time I got to it but thats OK, BurgerBets can handle an extra L here or there.  I need a week off from making fun of LC, so this week I am going to dominate my wook friend TwiggyBurger with a MINIMUM 4-2 week.  Yup Twiggy, I DARE you to give me 6 picks in the comments section to go up against mine. Hopefully he gets to see my shout out, but something tells me he is chained to a tree in Vermont somewhere in an attempt to prevent another housing development from going up.  IN YOUR FACE Twiggy!  PAVE THE PLANET!!!!

NCAA Picks:

UConn (-6.5) @ TEMPLE. Dear Al Golden, give the damn ball to Bernard Pierce or get out of my face!  I am picking against my Owls because Al Golden thinks Bernard Pierce is too cocky.  Um Al, maybe thats because he ran for a scillion yards a game as a true freshman last year!  I am going against the Golden Era until my man gets the rock.

BB & Jonathan the Husky (...standard)

BB & JONATHAN THE HUSKY....(STANDARD)

Alabama (-24) @ DUKE.  I know it says that this is a home game for the Blue Devils, but don’t be fooled.  There will be 10 times as many Tide fans as Duke fans and that is a fact.  Its science.  Duke dropped a TON of point on Wake Forest last week.  Good for them.  They will score 13 tops this week.  Meanwhile, the Tide gets Mark Ingram back.  Heard of him?

You're the ONE that picked us to win???

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT PICKED US TO WIN??

STANFORD (-17) vs. Wake Forest.  Speaking of Wake, they’re traveling across the country to play against Jim Harbaugh, Andrew Luck and the mighty Cardinal.  The Cardinal kicked the crap out of UCLA last week and they will continue to roll.  I love Stanford this year, so I get used to them.

I think I forgot my calculator...

I THINK I FORGOT MY CALCULATOR....

NFL Picks:

Kansas City (+1) @ CLEVELAND.  Anyone know whats going on with this spread?  Is this a misprint?  I know Arrowhead was bonkers last Monday Night which contributed to the outcome, but I also saw a team in the Chiefs that have some weapons.  I love Dexter McCluster and Jamaal Charles.  Cleveland sucks.  I will bet against them every single time they’re favored.

Ummm, 2 double cheeseburgers, one large fry, a diet-coke, fruit parfait, 20 piece nugget...(fart)

UMMM...TWO DOUBLE CHEESEBURGERS PLEASE, 3 LARGE FLY, A 2O PIECE NUGGET, A WHOPPER (OH YEA THATS BK..SORRY) AND...(FART) 6 BIG MACS...PLEASE!

Philadelphia (-6) @ DETROIT.  Shaun Hill, Shaun Hill, Shaun Hill.  I would rather have Hank Hill as my QB and I freaking hate King of the Hill.  The Burger Boy actually reminds me a little of Hank Hill now that I am thinking of it… body wise.  Anyway, the Lions are a joke.  The Eagles looked like crap last week but are just way more talented and are too good of a squad to start 0-2.

Kevin Kolb is out this week? Holy crap, did I really eat him??

KEVIN KOLB IS OUT THIS WEEK? HOLY CRAP! DID I REALLY EAT HIM???

New England (-3) @ NEW YORK.  Cue the furious Jets fans thinking I am just hating on the Jets.  Yes, I hate the Jets.  But I hate the Pats too.  BurgerBets has a rule of thumb when it comes to teams like the Jets.  “Until you make 7 first downs in a football game, I am betting against you.”  Sanchez sucks.  Hank Hill > Shaun Hill > Post-Burger Turd > Mark Sanchez.

Beef Content- 6    Burgers aren’t seasoned nearly enough…don’t be scared.

Bun- 7   Soft and  Fresh and doesn’t swallow up the beef.

Flavor- 2  Where is the flavor??? Bland and BORING, garlic powder, Worcestershire Sauce, red pepper flakes???

Venue- 3 Loosen up a bit fellas…youre not in Manhattan anymore.

Overall: 4 (WEAK)  Do us all a favor and just skip the burgers. There are some really great things on the menu….the burger  just isn’t one of them (not even close).

Buns of the Day: Ines Sainz

Ines Sainz Split

Cbssports.com-One day, we all woke up and NFL locker rooms had suddenly transformed into an episode of Mad Men.

New York Jets players are accused of harassing a female reporter. That was right after they told her to make dinner.

Would have been nice if the Jets had saved all of that pent up energy for the Baltimore Ravens, but I guess it’s easier to intimidate a petite female reporter than Ray Lewis.
