Weekend Preview: 9-26-14

It’s the last weekend in September.  What to do? What games to tease?

IMG_7331Get to Spruce Street Harbor Park.  It’s the last weekend of this Philadelphia pop-up garden treasure.  I hear there is a free concert, Bardo Pond, on Saturday.  Sit by the river and drink a beer one last time.

RESCUE RUN.  The fine running folks at Monster Milers, who take shelter dogs for runs and just recently became an official rescue group, are having their annual Rescue Run 5K at the Navy Yard Sunday morning.  Register and run and/or walk and the money helps dogs! If you’re not up for physical activities you and just hang out.  There will be rescue groups, dogs to adopt, DJs, food trucks, vendors, etc.

OVERKILL/PRONG at the troc on Sunday the 28th.  Two great old-head metal bands with hits like Elimination and Snap Your Fingers Snap Your Neck

COLOR ME BADD, CHUBB ROCK, PRETTY POISON AND OTHERS are having a 90’s throwback party at Harrah’s PA Saturday Sept. 27th at 7:00 p.m.

TERROR BEHIND THE WALLS is up and going. Still the best haunted experience in the area.

FOOTBALL TEASERS:
I’m a big fan of the 6 & 10 point football teasers.  Two jump out at me this weekend.  One in college and one in the pros.

College: Rice is -8.5 vs. Southern Miss. I’m a Rice fan. Miami vs. Duke.  The public is all over Duke at +6.5 but the line is screwy. Tease Rice to -2.5 to get under the Field Goal and tease Miami to -.5 .

NFL: Steelers coming off a blowout win are due for a letdown.  They are currently giving the Buccaneers 7.5, but they are banged up.  The entire world is on the Falcons at -3 vs. the Teddy Bridgewater led Vikings and the line hasn’t moved.  Tease those Buccaneers to +13.5 and the Vikings to +9.
