Chris and Vincent are warming up for the premiere of the live edition of Nosebleed. As such, this episode is as live as you can get for a recording. The boys talk gambling, Olbermann, the demise of the Minnesota Twins, and how Vinny’s teams seem to just not want to win.

On this week’s action packed episode…

• J! E! T! S! Jets! Jets! Jets!
• How exactly does the spread relate to the over/under?
• Did you know that holding a lead against the Patriots for three quarters but still losing means that the Patriots are beatable? No, really.
• Keith Olbermann waxes Tolkienian on Sunday Night Football. Don’t be a man of cleft chin and stick, just click here.
• Sean Taylor, safety for the Washington Redskins, was shot in his home. He’s in critical condition and it’s been reported he’s in a coma.
• Joey Harrington is going to remain the Falcons’ starter. That makes sense, seeing as he’s the team’s most successful QB — Joey’s taken the snaps for the team’s three wins.
• The turf at Heinz Field has seen more action than your mom.
• The Red Sox got to split up their World Series prize money — about $19 million. Would you believe that prize purse has gotten smaller?
• Vinny’s Mets, in a great move, signed Johnny Estrada. Other teams are content picking away players from the Minnesota Twins — the Angels grabbed Torii Hunter, and the Red Sox are seriously looking at Johan Santana.
• Hockey makes Vinny hurt.
• “George BushJim Dolan doesn’t care about black peoplewinning.”
• The boys are taking on each other in a good old fashioned game of weekly pick ‘em. This week (home teams in caps), Vinny takes NEW ORLEANS (+3) and the under, CHICAGO (-2) and the under, and Denver (+3) and the over while Chris takes Green Bay (-7) and the over, WASHINGTON (+5.5) and the over, and San Francisco (-3) and the under. The boys can earn up to six points weekly — a point for each winner and a point for each correctly picked over/under.

The Nosebleed theme music is “Bad Attraction” by Brad Sucks.
