Go play intramurals brother

Colorado coach Dan Hawkins is one of our favorite coaches to have on every year. We can always count on him to wax philosophical about football and life, and give us a book to read. He will be on in the 4oclock hour.

Tommy West (The Audio), guests this week

Tigers coach Tommy West joined us on the show Monday to talk about the season so far, spread offenses in college football, changing recruiting philosophy, etc.

Scheduled for the show this week... Colorado coach Dan Hawkins, Georgia coach Mark Richt, Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Whitten.

The show is on the road this week twice. Thursday we will be live from Moe's Southwest Grill in Cordova and Friday (before Memphis game) we will be at Ubee's on the Highland Strip.

Who takes care of you?

This is another actual photo of me bursting into flames this weekend. Vinnie Verno takes care of you. 4-1 this weekend and the NFL parlay hits for the third time this season. This is getting totally ridiculous now. I will imagine that we can all now meet in the ocean on our yachts. Let's be honest, I might be the best handicapper in the world. The picks on the show (Philanthropy) now...

24-8 (75%) ATS documented.

Philanthropy (The Picks)

Vinnie Verno picks winners, you make money. The rich get richer. Philanthropy record is now 20-7 this season (74%).

Missouri -10 over Nebraska (Daniel has 12 tds and 1 pick, Huskers gave up 377 yds to V Tech. Last years score...41-7)

Kansas -12 over Iowa St. (Mangino is a covering machine. They kill this team every year.)

Florida -24.5 over Arkansas (Arkansas is trash, they continue to prove it. Until the line against them hits 35, we keep winning)

Ball St -8 over Toledo (Toledo lost to Florida International House of Pancakes.... by 19! This is an insult)

Nevada -24 over Idaho (Every week we bet against this team, every week we win. So easy)

The NFL Parlay is the Chalk Road Warriors 3 team parlay of the year!
Titans -1 over Balt
Bears -3.5 over Detroit
Pats -3 over San Fran

Hahahahahahahahha....

Best. Postseason. Ever. I told you so. What a total embarrasment the Cubs are. Their winning this season and having all those fans buy into it makes this so much better. "This is the year!" Nope! Actually it is the year, the year that the pain gets even worse because they actually believed they had a chance. The Cubs will never win, ever. The regular season highlight video is gonna be great. 100 years... and counting. Muuahhahahahahahaha. I would implore all Cubs fans to ditch their team now and root for the Cardinals, a real team.

Derrick Mason and Patrick Willis (The Audio)

These two are truly some of the great guys in the NFL. I always thought that Willis was an amazing story considering all that he had been through. He was the best linebacker I have ever seen in person when he was at Ole Miss. Derrick Mason is the consummate pro and keeps gettin it done at 34. Both were great to talk to on the show. Audio is loaded if you missed them.

A couple of NFL guests on today...

Ravens WR Derrick Mason and 49ers LB Patrick Willis are scheduled to join us on the show today. Both should be in the 4oclock hour.

The Movies Song has been added

I put the song on the side along with the other songs. Every week we get requests to send it to people or to put it on the site and I am not real sure why we never have. Anyway, the link is on the side now.

The Romo audio is loaded

I had gotten requests to put up the audio of our bit with Romanowski from Monday. If you scroll down to where the player is, it is there. If you missed it, Romo talked about how he tried to cheat once, how he choked Tony Gonzalez, and you will hear what he called JJ Stokes (we had to bleep when it was live).

The Playmaker in Memphis...

Michael Irvin was in our studio this morning. He hosts his own show in Dallas and was in town for some business, so he used Verno's golden microphone, ha. The guy was totally cool to everyone at the station. I had never met Irvin before, so you never know with guys that are that famous, but he was way cooler and more humble than a bunch of guys that we have run across.

CVERNON.COM Exclusive: Tigers getting big time transfer

This dude looks mean.

I was told that Jon Demps is transferring from Florida to the U of M. He was ranked as the #8 inside LB in the nation coming out of high school.

When I ran a search for this dude, the article that came up was about him beating another guy with a sandwich. In fact, that was the title-- Florida player beats a guy with a sandwich.

Here is the actual story about it....

And here is the Rivals profile of the kid...

Rudy Gay, Mike Conley, and Kyle Lowry...

all called in to the show today from Grizzlies Media Day. We talked about the summer, the roster, Rudy Gay- Thespian, Conley having to go in public with Greg Oden, etc. The audio is loaded...

I could not see the Cowboy game...

because my TV was hidden somewhere in the piles of money. Someone told me that they lost. Well, there goes my undefeated season. Watch your kids, because Redskins fans are all pedophiles and they will all want to celebrate like they won the friggin Super Bowl.

Back to the money...
Vinnie Verno picks games and Vinnie Verno wins. 3-2 this week (and the Teams in Turmoil parlay also hit) and the overall record now stands at 20-7 (74%) so far this season. The seven we lost were clearly fixed.

For the show this week... I know that Grizzlies media day is Monday of this week, and I know that Rick Pitino is scheduled for the show this week, and I can't remember what else we have going on.

If you missed the TV bit (MIC CHECK) this week, here it is...

Philanthropy (The Picks)

17-5 (77% documented) so far this season. Get on this train or get hit by it....

Ole Miss +22 over Florida (you can make a living betting on 20pt dogs in the SEC year in and year out, and we do. Too many points)

Troy +17 over Oklahoma St. (Troy is a ATS team, in fact 13-3 in last 16 ATS. We love them. Not to mention they beat this team by more than 2tds last year)

San Diego St -11 over Idaho (Idaho is the worst team in the world. A total abomination. They have played 3 d1 opponents and lost a combined 163-35. )

Texas -27.5 over Arkansas (This is another one of the worst teams in the world. I thought this line should have been 50 or more. This is a massacre waiting to happen. Hide the women and children)

Colorado +6 over Florida St. (I don't think FSU should be a 6 pt favorite over anyone. I love Hawkins and I love that their RB is Rod Stewart. Wake up Maggie, Colorado.....strrrrr.....)

goofy parlay is...

Teams in Turmoil Two Team NFL Parlay of the Year!
Buffalo -8 over the Rams
San Diego -7.5 over Raiders

The streak continues...

While the world sits stunned by the outcome of the USC/ Oregon State game, the listeners of the Chris Vernon Show cannot help but chuckle. Watch out for that Beaver trap. This is too easy. I went to the Black Keys concert last night and I probably got a hundred text messages. They were mostly the same... "Vinny Verno, you are the greatest!" "You are the man!" "You truly are a genius!" Really it was just a bunch of stuff like that, stuff I already knew. The world is taking notice and I am using this incredible brain for some good. This year we play for keeps. 16-5 now going into the weekend, actually 17-5 because we didn't add the Colorado win from last week. Philanthropy is today.

Phil Fulmer and O.J. Mayo (The audio)

Fulmer and O.J. were on the show today, loaded in the player...

Bill Romanowski joins the show as a regular

4 time Super Bowl champion Bill Romanowski is scheduled to join us on the show weekly during the NFL season. Romo was on the show today to talk about who the best coaches are, the situation in Oakland, who hurt him when he hit them, what he regrets, etc. Romo will be on with us on Mondays at 5pm.
Still to come this week on the show... Illinois coach Ron Zook, Tennessee coach Phil Fulmer, O.J. Mayo.
Romo audio is loaded if you want to check it out.

Illinois coach Ron Zook (play Penn St. this weekend)
Grizzlies draft pick O.J. Mayo
Arkansas St. coach Steve Roberts (play Memphis this weekend)

Philanthropy now 15-5

I may not be at the show today. If I don't make it back in time, I will let Roser do the show. On Sunday night I bought a private jet and headed to a tropical island to stay in the mansion I bought last weekend. I will try to make it back but it will depend on the weather. In such tough economic times I am a beacon of light for the community. Vinnie Verno: Change you can believe in and country first.

Philanthropy is now 15-5. That is 75% if you are scoring at home.
