Monday Night Preview by Nick "The BookieKiller" Parsons Anyone who loves football surely enjoyed last Monday's tilt between the Cowboys and Eagles, especially those of us who had Philly.

Week 1 ? Early Leans By Nick "The BookieKiller" Parsons After cashing at a 64% clip last year, I?ve gotten off to a great start this preseason. Entering Friday?s action, I?ve gone 8-1 with my sides.

From Nick Parsons Credit given where credit due - Bob Gainey was mostly right and the rest of us, including me, mostly wrong. At the National Hockey League's February 26th trade deadline Gainey made the strangest deal of the day - packing starting goaltender Cristobal Huet off to the Washington Capitals. Coming the other way was nothing more than a draft pick, and a second rounder at that. The verdict was delivered... Read more
