Yeah, Jimmy the Greek would talk some about point spreads, but that was a quick segment. Now, whenever I listen to sports talk it is all about the point spreads, and idiots bragging that they can make me money if I just take their advice. They no longer tell you who they think will win, just who will or won't cover (from which, I realize, you can deduce the winner, but you get the point).
