$2.35 Million is a lot of money for a piece of cardboard with a picture on it and thats the amount that was paid for a 1909 Honus Wagner, considerd by some as the best one out of about 60 known to exist, it is in pristine condition. These cards were inserted into a pack of cigarettes at that time - not a good thing in todays world.
Honus Wagner played for the Pittsburg Pirates and was one of the first five players inducted into the hall of fame.

The #1 Wisconsin Badgers lost a big chance to stand alone as the team to beat come tourney time with a lost to Michigan State. The badgers looked tired and listless as the Spartans battled them back and forth during the entire game and finaly taking a lead with 2 minutes left and the badgers could'nt hang with them. Not being able to sink 3 pointers and tucker not driving to the hoop and drawing the fouls kept the badgers from winning one that would have sent them to Ohio on saturday with a full head of steam. Now comes the big game must win for Wisconsin to slam the door on Ohio to be the big ten champions. It will be a great game to watch and more than likely the best of the season for fans of BIG TEN BASKETBALL.

Vanderbilt slays another giant, this time it was the all powerful and cocky Florida. Florida has been flirting with disaster for the past several games and it was bound to catch up to them eventually. Dodging a near disaster against Alabama, Florida came out to play with flat feet and 22 turnovers - missed shots that they normally make and a lack luster performance by the normally self centered and cocky Joakim Noah to lose a - not even close game to a very confident and team oriented Vanderbilt.

WOW what a saturday of basketball! With the upset win by North Carolina State over # 3 North Carolina the polls should be a rockin on monday. McCauley and Atsur brought their A game to the upset and played some of the best nitty gritty ball that we've seen all year.

The one blemish on this game was the OBVIOUSE half hearted wimpy punch that was thrown by Hansbrough of NC, don't care if it landed or not - don't care if it was a frustration punch - his ass should have been pointed to the exit sign, period."

The games are getting better, the teams are getting tighter and the excitement is getting higher!! After watching the Iowa vs Wisonsin game - I gotta tell ya the badgers are going to be a tough one to BEAT!! If the badgers can tighten up the ball handling and give certain players a little more zest they will be unbeatable come tournament time. Coach Ryan has a handle on giving his stable of players the right moves to come away with a win.

For long I have been contemplating to join one of the sports betting programs.

I was really encouraged by positive testimonials but somehow did not gear up enough determination to join.

Today I was initially shocked to read news report that says ‘U.S. permanently bans BetOnSports'.

But selfishly I was relieved though.

Maybe I just shouldn't bet on college games. Every weekend something sort of eery happens and causes me to miss out on a boatload of cash. It was about 700 dollars earlier today. I need a strong showing on Sunday. I bet for money not for fun. I have a goal in mind and if I am going to meet it, I can't have slip ups. I have thoroughly broken down all of the games. Here's the deal:

INDY(-18.5) over tennessee-this is a ton of points anywhere, but especially in the the NFL. I would say it's equivalent to 30 point spread in college. Enough of that. The Colts beat the Titans 35-3 and 31-10 last year. That was with Steve McNair. The Colts may beat Tennessee worse than the Cowboys did last week.

I guess today's blog can best be described as better late than never. I am going to give you all a few college picks. I have been very well as of late, but I definitely do not want to jinx myself. Here's the deal:

oklahoma(+4) over TEXAS-Vince Young is the reason that Texas was so good last year, not Mack Brown.

michigan state(+15) over MICHIGAN-Michigan has been my favorite college team since Desmond Howard struck the heisman pose, but I just do not see a blow out here. That lets you know how real it is. I am willing to bet against my team if the opportunity to make some money is there.

Hey yall. I just felt the agony of defeat. I bet on Rutgers(-4) at South Florida. I took Rutgers because their running game is pretty unstoppable. And they have a pretty good defense. Not to mention South Florida's leading rusher and passer is a 190 pound freshman quarterback. Surely coach Greg Schianno can devise a scheme to stop one player.

Fast forward to the fourth quarter. Rutgers is leading by 8 with 4 or so minutes to go. They attempt a 42 yard field goal on fourth down with an 8 point lead. I thought they should have punted and made the Bulls drive 90 yards to tie it. One thing I should mention is that on third they Scarlet Knights were screwded by a defensive holding non call. SF linebacker Steve Nicholson tackled a Rutger running back on a screen pass before the ball arrived.

This is the second week in a row that I was not able to give any college picks. It's very difficult because of the research involved when picking college games. By the time Friday rolls around all I want to do is sleep when I get home from work. I passed out around 8:30 on Friday night. Pretty Lame, I know. But, during the week, I wake up around 5-5:30am and don't get home until 5:30-6pm. It's a grueling schedule. Hopefully one day soon it will be worth it.

I apologize for not giving you the college picks earlier today. Due to some incompetence on the part of my banking institution I do not have the funds available to make any bets. As a result I considered not giving pro picks either. But I could not let you all down. I have to admit that there is not very much research going into these picks because there is no money on the line. However I need less research to pick pro games so I am going to go for it. What makes it even tougher is the lines are pretty big. There are a lot of 10 plus point lines especially this early in the season. By the way I am going to try to refrain from making picks on games that invlove the Cowboys since they are my favorite team. I hope everybody had a nice weekend. Here's the deal:

Good Evening. It is the eve of one of my favorite days of the year. Tommorrow marks the first Sunday of the 2006 NFL season. 1 or 2 of you may have been looking out for my college picks today, but due to some exstenuating(?) circumstances I was not able to even place bets myself. You should be thanking me actually. My instincts and my research was, shall we say, sub par. It's still early in the season so this is to be tolerated. Many of the teams that played well last week struggled today and vice versa. Hopefully I'll hit my stride next weekend. I have to be honest, it's not so easy to pick NFL games this early in the season either so proceed with caution. Having said that, I still intend to pick all winners. And I more than doubled my money Friday Night at the Casino playing poker so I'm feeling lucky. Here's the deal:

I wanted to redeem myself yesterday and I think I did. I didn't give any losing picks at least. We tied on the Mississippi(-3) game. Down 11 with half of the fourth quarter in the books, the Memphis Tigers mounted a touchdown scoring drive with minutes to go. They had to go for the 2 point conversion so as to cut the deficit to 3 points so that a fieldgoal could still tie the game and send it to overtime.

It was sort of a rough day yesterday although I did come out on top in the end. I want to redeem myself with a couple picks today. Stick with me. Here's the deal:

This is actually a pick from yesterday, but the game is not until today. OLE MISS(-3) over memphis; Last year, the Rebels defeated the Tigers on the road in the first game of the season. Memphis had the nation's leading rusher. They don't have that luxury. Memphis was but just 1 of only 3 victories for Mississppi, but I think they pull this one off.

Hey Everyone. To my pleasant surprise the college football season actually kicked off last night. I mentioned that football is my specialty. I actually think I am better at picking pro games,especially this early in the season. There is so much turnover in the college game that it is sometimes hard to decipher what's what at this stage. My strategy is not to pick too many games and to stick to teams that are returning a lot of players from last season. Here's the deal:
