THE YEAR WAS 1975. Pittsburgh beat Dallas 21-17 in the
Super Bowl. Bobby Knight's Indiana Hoosiers went undefeated
to win the NCAA College Basketball title. The Golden State
Warriors, led by Rick Barry, won the NBA Championship. Barry
Switzer and Oklahoma claimed the #1 ranking in college football.
It was memorable year, but one that the bookmakers would
rather forget, because Sports Reporter made its debut
as a weekly forecast newspaper. Suddenly, their clients
got smarter.
Soon, "Blue Sheet" Best Bets and Major Wagers were
rocking the sporting world strongly enough to merit coverage
on NBC and in Newsweek. Sports Reporter handicappers
were celebrated as wily "foxes" and "gurus,"
entertaining and informing a new generation of sports bettors
with insights on how to be king of the hill in football.

Today, the "ol' Blue Sheet" upholds that tradition,
selling out on newsstands nationwide and making its way to
many mailboxes -- at front doors and online.

FEBRUARY, 2024 -- SUPER BOWL RECAP: Once again, the Kansas City Chiefs were not, as sportswriters, for some strange reason, like to say: The team that nobody wants to play in the post-season. LOL! I get such as kick out of the fact that the teams who win Super Bowls are
never: The team that nobody wants to face! Sportswriters can be lame-brained parrots. So, the Super Bowl pretty much went the way we/I expected it to go. In all honesty, if that game was played in the regular season along with 12-15 others on the weekly card, both teams needed
it, and were healthy, do you think we select one side or the other as a BEST BET or RECOMMENDED selection? Well, Ha-ha! I guess we will never know, will we? But it figured as a one-score game with the outcome in doubt until the very end, which is what it was. We also figured
that Patrick Mahomes would get all the credit for a win that was engineered by the Chiefs defense, and offensive line, and coaches. If the 49ers had won, their defense, their offensive line, their coaches, would have been the main reasons. Both defenses made things very difficult
for the respective sets offensive skill talents, including both quarterbacks. For a majority of the game, Mahomes and Brock Purdy looked more uncomfortable than in control. Because they were made to be uncomfortable. Because defense gets played and coached. It is called
Football. It is not called Quarterback, which is only one position out of 22. MORE
