B.S. Report: Cousin Sal, Bill Barnwell

Richard Mackson/US Presswire

You’re not going to believe what happened on the BS Report today. Oh wait, you’ll totally believe it: I called Cousin Sal to rehash yesterday’s games and guess the Week 6 NFL lines, and then I called Grantland’s Bill Barnwell to discuss things like “Should we write off the Eagles?” and “What’s the best long-shot Super Bowl bet right now?” (Somehow, Barnwell has been living on the Vegas Strip for two months and he’s still alive. I know, I can’t believe it either.) Sal also plays my embarrassing phone call after Tampa Bay’s blowout loss, and Barnwell tells us what it’s like to win $10k on a football bet, then blow it on coke and hookers. Fine, only one of those two things is true.
