    Monmouth Park 8/3

    Headed to the Monmouth Park Track today for the first time in 10 years. Any picks or thoughts as horses are not my sport at all? Or any local bloggers or writers to follow? Thanks in advance to all.

    9/11 Picks

    Not too many picks jump off the page but there is good value: GB/DET OVER 46 - GB's defense has yet to show up from last year and I think the DET WR's with their size will take advantage of this matchup. Harrington has shown little but will have Jones to keep the defense honest. Favre and the...

    Anyone been to Perth, Australia?

    I will be traveling to Sydney and Perth to work with banking/insurance companies along with Financial Services institutions. Looking to get an idea of places to eat (from what I hear Frasers is the place) along with areas for nightlife. Also, any ideas with tourist ideas would be greatly...

    Bowl Games 12/27-1/4

    YTD (posted in other bowl threads) 4-1 I have posted bets in other's threads but looking to lay out my plays the rest of the way here. Still can't get over the UCLA loss as that was as bad a call as the GT game was good... UVA -4.5 - Here is a match-up where one team is taking a "step up" in...

    NCAA 12/14

    Duke -13 1H OVER 141 - Line is almost similar to Toledo game on Sunday yet Toledo is a much more solid team and Duke was coming off finals exams with a 9 day break. The first half here has a lot of value as they nearly covered on Sunday in the 1H although Reddick and Ewing were cold. I see...

    Bases 09/20

    3 solid plays for tonight MIN/CHW - Under 9.0 - both pitchers faced each other last week in a low scoring affair. Reading weather reports which say it should be somewhat cool tonight with the wind blowing in. Both are tough GB pitchers who should keep the hitters timing off all night...

    2004 Phil Steele College Magazine

    Just picked it up last week and as usual TONS of info. Glad to see he agrees with me about Missouri having a legit shot at National Title. He also lists WV, OSU and UVA as sleepers for BCS Title game. A great pickup for those new to college FB and many who have been cappin' for years...

    If General George Patton was alive and president...

    If General George Patton was alive and president of the USA, this would be his Fireside Speech: My fellow Americans: As you all know, the defeat of Iraq's regime has been completed. Since Congress does not want to spend any more money on this war, our mission in Iraq is complete. This morning...

    More salt in the wound for Sox (and Mets) fans...

    Thursday, February 19, 2004 Associated Press NEW YORK -- In just four days, Alex Rodriguez has nearly paid for himself this year, at least as far as the New York Yankees are concerned. New York has sold nearly 104,000 tickets worth a total of $4.6 million since Monday, when it acquired the...

    John Henry... cry me a river

    Basically he is saying, "A-Rod going to the Red Sox would've been great for baseball and going to the Yankees is the worst thing to ever happen.." Just like the ball going through Buckner's legs, the Red Sox let this one slip away. Wednesday, February 18, 2004 Associated Press BOSTON...

    Sandals Honeymoon...worth the money?

    I'm in the process of planning our honeymoon for this October and I've been asking people their thoughts on different resorts. It seems as though people seem to be split down the middle on the Sandals resort as some have loved it and others didn't think it was worth the money and hype. As of...

    Say hello to your 2005 BCS Champion...

    In each of the last 4 years the team which has won the BCS Championship had EXACTLY 5 losses the year before. Taking that into account we can look at some of the 5 loss teams to see if any merit consideration for next year. Did any LSU fan really think they would win the BCS title game? I, as...

    Bowl Games

    YTD 53-22 Future Bets 4-2 After a two month break I'm back to pick up where I left off. Although I feel some of the best value is in the earlier bowl games there are 5 picks for the remaining schedule: Oregon +6 - once the books hit at this number I jumped all over it. Most books had it at...
