Billy Crystal’s one man show is titled “700 Sundays”. NFL underdog bettors in 2005 may have felt that last season lasted 700 Sundays, as the favorites ‘covered’ at a record pace. However, the current NFL season has added just 20 Sundays (including Christmas and New Year’s Day). My free game for Friday is in the […]

The Premier League week 16 game will bring football action to Villa Park, with hosts Aston Villa set to take on Liverpool, on Sunday 18 December 2011. Aston Villa are coming off a commendable 2-1 win against Bolton on Matchday 15, just their second win in eight league games. Marc Albrighton broke Villa’s three-match goalscoring […]

Los Angeles has decided to shorten the height of their home run fence, possibly in an effort to boost the newcomer’s power numbers to Los Angeles. The 10-foot reduction from eighteen to eight seems to coincide conveniently with the team’s signing of international star slugger Shoehei Ohtani by the team. It should be noted that […]

One of the unique things about soccer betting, at least in the past, is that you could bet on three different outcomes.

Things were looking very good for the Steelers entering the 2009 NFL season. Coming off an incredible Super Bowl victory, the team looked as strong as ever, having kept most of the pieces from last year’s team. With Ben Roethlisberger back for another year, a strong receiving group and a trio of running backs that […]

In my opinion, the Winter Classic is one of the top ten sporting events of each year. Hockey… outside… snow surrounding the rink, how not to like it? While the pregame festivities lasted about 37 minutes longer than necessary, I enjoyed most of the hoopla. Bringing back legendary players, reliving the rivalry and growing up […]

The NBA West will produce a standing team in the end, but what a battle it will be to narrow things down. All eight teams are good, some great, but perhaps no great team in the group. The reason may be that they hit each other a lot during the NBA regular season, and the […]

Usually, I don’t pay much attention to college football. It’s not that I don’t enjoy watching football, and at the college level there’s an intensity and excitement that isn’t always there in professional sports. But the only reason I ended up watching the Fiesta Bowl was because my son attends Boise State University. When the […]

Sixteen of the AP’s 20 Top 25 teams won in College Football Week 12, but none won bigger or more impressively than Urban Meyer’s Florida Gators, who literally crushed Steve Spurrier’s South Carolina Gamecocks, 56 -6, in what many thought would be a much closer contest. After being blown out 31-30 at home by Mississippi […]
