Granted, I will go to the voting » finish reading this post...

The clock is ticking and we are just over a week away from the opening week of college football. I already have that uneasy knot in my stomach of joy knowing that within a couple days I can start making college football picks . Some of the bigger games to watch are: NC State South Carolina -12 Oregon » finish reading this post...

What JD! Are you crazy? Big Brown is a "mortal lock" to capture the Triple Crown and take home the Belmont Stakes. Well, you are probably right. Personally, it is difficult not to just concede the Triple Crown right now and hand over history to Mr. Big Brown. The problem is that I am one » finish reading this post...

There is no denying that the SEC is the best conference in college football. At the same time, there is no denying those numbers are not AS GREAT when you take away the games played in the friendly confines of southern weather and fans. For example, Tennessee has only lost two season openers in » finish reading this post...

Every person who lives the life of a gambler has times when they hit rock bottom or go bust. When I say the life of gambler, I do not mean working a 9-5 and placing some wagers online. I mean 24/7 living it. The people, the money swings, everything. I got my start off young running parlay cards » finish reading this post...

Playing around the web I found this pretty amazing list. I honestly think Michigan should not be ANYWHERE near a list like this. Most of the hot chicks end up at Michigan State or Central Michigan. But overall, worth the read and looking for feedback: 50. Illinois Nothing better than a hot girl » finish reading this post...

I must admit, despite being around football and gambling since running parlay cards during Junior High, I have never played fantasy football. Watching people in these nerdy little leagues and acting like it was "cool" always annoyed me. Personally, I felt the fantasy football people were » finish reading this post...

I know USC reloads and does not rebuild. I know Ohio State has almost the entire team back and will probably make a third straight trip to the BCS Title Game. But, and a big BUT, with the SEC being the best conference in college football, there is no way you can start off the season and NOT give » finish reading this post...

There is not a baseball fan and/or expert in the WORLD who at this point in the season would have believed the Tigers would only be behind the San Diego Padres as the worst team in baseball (record wise). Being a long time Tiger's fan who had season tickets the year they were the worst of all » finish reading this post...

The line right now for game seven is the Celtics minus a whopping 14.5. So here is the task for today: I do not want any "no way" or "will be a blowout" talk.

Growing up in the 80's I watched a lot of wrestling. As I became older and wrestling went to being a comic book it lost the allure of being a soap opera for men, but those memories will always be there. Back than wrestling was bigger than it ever was. The 80's were the best time in wrestling » finish reading this post...

I mean "bad beat/back door" cover as in "DOH" and not as in "$$$". Poker stories need not apply as I hear enough of this drival at the casino and the home games I play in. I can only take so many "one outer" and "can you believe he called me" tirades » finish reading this post...

Being a long time Michigan fan, last season was a HUGE disappointment from jump street. With the core of the offense all opting to return and Ohio State supposedly in a rebuilding year it was BCS Championship game or bust. After game one and losing as 27+ point favorites at home to Appalachian State » finish reading this post...

Last season they went 12-1. Won the Orange Bowl 24-21 as 3.5 point dogs over Virginia Tech. Went 11-1 against the spread, cashing 92% of their games for bettors who made college football picks . +21 on turnovers Return 6 starters on offense and 9 on defense in 2008 AND, they have a head coach that » finish reading this post...

You seem to always see the debates about Lebron vs Kobe, 80's vs 90's or Brady vs Manning. These arguments take the best of the best and end up in a pretty good discussion.
