Had the Red Sox blown yesterday’s doubleheader on the heels of the Patriots’ collapse in Buffalo, I don’t think I could have made it through today’s BS Report with our friend Cousin Sal. Fortunately, Jonathan Papelbon, Franklin Morales and Jacoby Ellsbury saved the day (at least for 24 hours) and allowed me to guess the Week 4 NFL Lines with Cousin Sal without having to tape it from a drug rehab center. That reminds me, did you know Cousin Sal is writing a weekly gambling blog for Grantland every Thursday? He only went 1-for-19 with his picks last week; you should check it out.
