Ben Wallace returns to Detroit Sunday to face Pistons

Here's what the Detroit Pistons faithful have been waiting for since day one of the 2006-2007 NBA regular season.

And that's the day when former Piston Ben Wallace returns to the Palace of Auburn Hills, bringing his Chicago Bulls squad with him, to face the Detroit Pistons. And yeah, Pistons fans have been itching to see Ben Wallace get his ungrateful ass kicked all around the goddamn court.

The Chicago Bulls will visit the Detroit Pistons at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Sunday, marking the very first time Bulls center Ben Wallace returns to the very court that made him the NBA's defensive powerhouse.

The Bulls will come into this game probably banged up, drained and tired. After all, they did visit LeBron James and the rest of the Cleveland Cavaliers in Ohio before taking the trip to Washington D.C. to face the red hot Washington Wizards of Gilbert Arenas.

For what it's worth, they have Saturday off before taking the trip to Motor City. But when you take on a team like the Detroit Pistons, especially these days with a rejuvenated Chris Webber on their roster, you got to bring more than your A game. Heck, the Bulls could might as well bring Scottie Pippen with them too. I hear he wants to come out of retirement.

And remember, these Pistons are probably holding a grudge still since Ben Wallace decided to sign with Chicago in the offseason. Of course, Ben Wallace knows that the Pistons fans are waiting and ready for his ass.

''The Palace will be rocking,'' Ben Wallace said. ''They know I'm coming.''

It's time to see if the Bulls can make a playoff push with their young cast of scorers and if Ben Wallace can make a difference in the middle as envisioned. More importantly, it's time for Big Ben to show the Pistons what he is truly worth.

And I'm betting Wallace will come up with ZERO points, ZERO rebounds and five fouls, making his value to the Pistons a mere $2.99. Sorry Ben, you know you're the enemy now right?

Can Ben Wallace lead the Chicago Bulls to the NBA Playoffs? Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:

Chicago Bulls 7/1

Detroit Pistons 9/1

Dallas Mavericks 7/2

Miami Heat 4/1 (boo!)

Curt Schilling's last dance with the Boston Red Sox is the coming 2007 MLB Baseball Season?

Yep, this is it.

Apparently, Curt Schilling will play out the entire 2007 MLB Baseball season as a member of the Boston Red Sox. After this season is over, (heck, this season haven't even started yet!) he's testing the market and will file for free agency.

Hmm... At least the guy's telling the Red Sox organization that this early eh? Curt Schilling said he will become a free agent after the MLB Baseball season and won't let that distract him during his fourth year with the Boston Red Sox.

Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein wouldn't rule out in-season discussions for a new contract though. At a brief meeting between the two, Epstein told his pitcher, Curt Schilling, that the team would not give him an extension during spring training, as the veteran had wished.

And they expect him to sign a contract in the middle of the season? Jeez...

''Curt's going to be 41, and at that age we've got to be a little more conservative,'' Epstein said. ''It doesn't mean we don't want him back. I have all the confidence in the world that if Curt wants to pitch in 2008 and he's still pitching effectively, as I expect he will, then we'll find a way to keep him in a Red Sox uniform.''

Of course, you just know that Curt Schilling wasn't happy about the team turning down the extension that he wanted.

He said he was ''disappointed'' but understood the club's position. He also said he would not negotiate with the Red Sox during the 15 days following the MLB World Series, when they are the only club allowed to discuss money with him.

''I will file for free agency at the end of the season and they know that,'' Curt Schilling said. ''I'm going to get ready for opening day and this is not going to change anything that I do or how I do it''

Can Curt Schilling lead the Boston Red Sox to the World Series? Who will win the 2007 MLB World Series Championship? Bodog has the odds.

New York Yankees 7/2

March Madness should be's in the Pac 10

The Pac 10 has always been the UCLA Bruins' thing and guess what, it hasn't changed.

The UCLA Bruins have always been strong in the Pac 10 and by the looks of things, it looks like they're still the team to beat in the conference this year. They are accompanied at the top this season by the Washington State Cougars but c'mon, you think these Cougars will stand a chance against these UCLA monsters?

Coming to the March Madness bracket battles, certain teams from the Pac 10 are looking to dethrone the UCLA Bruins atop the Pac 10 food chain and here are just some of them.

The Arizona Wildcats SHOULD definitely be included in the coming March Madness bracket battles. If March Madness started late February, (it wouldn't be called March Madness now does it?) the Wildcats will definitely make the cut.

Why start that early? Well, the Wildcats, as of press time, are stumbling down and if they keep on eating dust like this, they won't have enough for them to last until March and be invited to the annual NCAA College Basketball tournament. Arizona's now 1-7 against the four highest-rated Pac-10 conference schools (UCLA, USC, Wazzu and Oregon) and 5-8 in its last 13 games, including the disaster against North Carolina.

The USC Trojans, another football-crazy team making some noise in the basketball courts this season, should be invited for the March Madness bracket battles. The big win at Arizona means the Trojans should all but wrap up a bid with a win at Arizona State.

The Bay Area teams come in next week ahead of a trip to the Washington schools to close the regular season. Only the softish computer numbers are holding USC back right now. The USC Trojans have swept Oregon in addition to Arizona, and also have beaten GW and Wichita State (neutral).

Last, we have the Washington Huskies. Although they don't have anything going for them right now to get that March Madness invite, they are still a dangerous team at this point of the season. They don't have anything to lose and everything to gain. If they can just crawl back to .500 and get to the March Madness bracket battles, watch out.

Can the Washington Huskies win the NCAA College Basketball championship? Here are some odds from Bodog sportsbook.

Florida Gators 9/2

Ohio State Buckeyes 8/1

North Carolina Tar Heels 5/1

UCLA Bruins 8/1

Scotland going for a 2007 Cricket World Cup shocker with an upset win over powerhouse Australia?

If these guys play at the Cricket World Cup in kilts, now THAT will surprise me.

According to Scot Majid Haq, Scotland beating Australia will be the shocker of the tournament. It would be a massive feat for the Scotland team too. Of course, we also know how bad Australia is playing with their sticks these days. (Well, those who follow cricket anyway...)

Majid Haq said, ''For us to beat Australia would be like the Faroes beating Brazil at football. In fact it might even be bigger than that, more like us beating Brazil when Berti Vogts was in charge.''

Oookaaay theeen. Well, for what it's worth, Majid Haq will have the chance of coming up with an upset win over the powerhouse Aussie cricket team. He will be a part of the 15-man squad that will go to the Caribbean to face South Africa and Holland as the team prepares for the 2007 Cricket World Cup.

''If we can take early wickets, which I'm sure we can with the way we've been bowling, we might set a few nerves jangling and cause the likes of Australia and South Africa a few problems,'' Scotland head coach Peter Drinnen said.

''Teams are going out and giving it the gun really early in their innings and setting targets of 300, but you run the risk of losing early wickets. In the one-day game anything can happen and if we get it together we are going to be very dangerous, even against Australia. We have a game plan and hopefully we can stick to it."

He adds, ''You hear a lot about our amateur status but that doesn't wash with me or the players.''

Scotland recently reached the final of the World Cricket League in Kenya, a performance which also earned them a place at the inaugural Twenty20 World Championship in South Africa in September.

Can Majid Haq help Scotland win the 2007 Cricket World Cup? Who will be the 2007 Cricket World Cup champions? Sports Interaction has the odds:

Australia 2.50

India 8.00

England 9.00

New Zealand 10.00

OK, Jason Kidd is still in New Jersey, now what?

Yep, the trade deadline passed and... nobody moved.

At least in New Jersey anyway. In spite all the hype about Vince Carter and Jason Kidd bolting out of New Jersey, both of 'em stayed put, probably wanting to find out just how much more can they fuck up an already fucked up season.

I like Vince Carter and I have tremendous respect for Jason Kidd, but c'mon, these guys need to turn it up a notch. The once pathetic Toronto Raptors have overtaken the New Jersey Nets in the pathetic Atlantic Division for crying out loud and Jersey can't have that.

Heck, the Raptors only have this lizard-looking Chris Bosh whereas the Nets have multi-time All Stars in Vince Carter and Jason Kidd. Surely, the Nets beat the Raptors in paper. What the heck is wrong with these guys?

Maybe they're just giving Miki Moore a lot more touches than he should be?

And yeah, the Nets kept Jason Kidd but that doesn't necessarily mean better things will come from here on out. Yes, the Nets DID made the right move in keeping both Carter and Kidd but as far as Jason Kidd is concerned, the guy's just hurting these days.

The New Jersey Nets confirmed reports that Jason Kidd has a cracked rib in addition to the back injury that forced him to miss two games and the NBA All-Star Game. Nets coach Lawrence Frank defended the team's decision not to publicize the rib injury, saying it didn't force Kidd to miss any games and was discovered only when Kidd's back was being examined.

After all, why would you let other teams know that your guy is injured just moments before you send him to them?

''The implication was that it was being concealed, which would be a falsehood,'' Frank said. ''We're not going to disclose every nick, bruise or bump that's not preventing a guy from playing.''

OR... ''We're not going to tell anybody Jason Kidd is injured not until the trade deadline has passed.''

Can Jason Kidd lead the New Jersey Nets to advance to the NBA Playoffs? Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:

Chicago Bulls 7/1

Detroit Pistons 9/1

Dallas Mavericks 7/2

Miami Heat 4/1 (boo!)

Please Be Quick was killed by an automobile even before the four-year-old horse got to Belmont Park

Yep, a van actually killed a horse contender much to the dismay of horse bettors at Belmont Park.

In a bizarre freak accident, four-year-old New York-bred gelding, Please Be Quick, was euthanized at Belmont Park after getting his hind legs severely injured while it dangled through the floor of the van.

Ouch. Please Be Quick was apparently being transported from a training center to Belmont Park. After they let the horse's legs dangle through the floor of a van in the middle of a major New York highway, they might as well transport him to hell.

Jeez... How stupid can these guys get? Now THAT is not the way to die. Even for a horse.

Motorists on the Cross Bronx Expressway noticed the horse's legs dangling through the floor of the van and notified the driver to stop. The van was owned by Ebert Vans Inc. of Elmont, N.Y.

Please Be Quick had one win in nine starts before those guys' stupidity ultimately killed him.

And get this, they had other horses inside the goddamn van. Four of them actually. But thankfully, he was the only one injured. Please Be Quick was one of three horses trained by Linda Rice while the remaining horse was trained by Bruce Levine.

''Obviously, it's horrible,'' Linda Rice said. ''The horse had raced well on the grass last fall and we were just bringing him in to resume training to point for grass races in April and May. We're all just devastated by this. As far as what took place, they're sorting that out.''

So much for Please Be Quick winning the 133rd Kentucky Derby eh? Who will win the 2007 Kentucky Derby on May 5? Bodog has the odds:

Nobiz Like Shobiz 7/1

Ravel 8/1

Any Given Saturday 12/1

Toronto Raptors have finally gotten over Vince Carter

It seems the present day Toronto Raptors are better off without former Raptor king, Vince Carter.

When Vince Carter first entered NBA Basketball with the Toronto Raptors, he was all the rave. It's like Vince Carter this, Vince Carter that. Hell, even sports programs like Sports Center chimed in, showing advertisements on when VC supposedly watches Sports Center at midnight. (Yep, still remember that one...)

When he left Canada to join Jason Kidd and the rest of the New Jersey Nets, the only remaining NBA Basketball team in Canada was left without anyone to lead them. Oh yeah, watching promising talent Charlie Villanueva leave the Raptors to join the Milwaukee Bucks didn't help too.

Well, that's what we thought anyway. It turns out, the Toronto Raptors are better without the eyebrow-less Charlie and the explosive VC. Chris Bosh is leading the team to a probable playoff berth and as of press time, his Toronto Raptors are leading the Atlantic Division, getting pass... guess who, Vince Carter and the New Jersey Nets.

How's that for sweet revenge eh?

And get this, the Toronto Raptors can thank Vince Carter for all the success these guys are getting in this NBA Basketball season. The Raptors wouldn't be this good if VC was still here. Outside of an average amount of vitriol that Raptor fans still shower on Vince Carter, well, it may be a little more than average, the success of this year's squad has allowed Toronto to finally disassociate itself from their former favorite son.

They have embraced a completely new cast of characters that they feel confident will eventually take this city to the basketball summit. And the most surprising part of this success is that if the falling out never took place and Carter were still a member of this club the Raptors likely wouldn't be in this situation, and would probably have continued its stumble into mediocrity.

As big a fan as I am of Vince Carter, it's true. And now, it seems this ''VC Curse'' is starting to unravel itself with the New Jersey Nets.

Can Chris Bosh lead the Toronto Raptors to the NBA Playoffs? Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:

Chicago Bulls 7/1

Detroit Pistons 9/1

Dallas Mavericks 7/2

Miami Heat 4/1 (boo!)

Pro Football Hall of Fame finally recognizes the Arena Football League and everything AFL Football

It's about time.

Finally, the Pro Football Hall of Fame is scheduled to unveil its very first exhibit dedicated to the Arena Football League as it aims to present the past, present and future of the AFL.

Yep, AFL Football in the Pro Football Hall of Fame folks, and it will be on February 26, merely days before the AFL kicks off its 21st season on March 1. And yes, it has been 21 years already since the AFL, now with 19 football teams, started.

''The Arena Football League is a mature property that has experienced explosive growth in recent years,'' said Pro Football Hall of Fame President and Executive Director Steve Perry.

''A true success story, the AFL has earned its place in pro football history and the Pro Football Hall of Fame.''

Since 2002, total viewership of the Arena Football League has increased from 12 million viewers to 65 million, its team values from $12 to $20 million and its average per game attendance from 9,957 to 12,378.

When combined with the AFL's minor league, called ''Arena Football 2,'' Arena Football will be played in 49 markets in 2007.

''There are many milestones for a growing sports league but I can't think of one that is more meaningful for our league than an exhibit in the Pro Football Hall of Fame,'' said AFL Commissioner David Baker.

The said Pro Football Hall of Fame exhibit that will feature AFL Football exclusively, will have both AFL historical and interactive elements designed to illustrate Arena Football's fast-paced action.

A large photomural of an AFL field will serve as the backdrop to a display that will feature a large video screen which will play a continuous two-minute highlight loop, a display panel and two interactive touch screens that will host a variety of videos designed to communicate the league’s past, present and future.

The display will be built on real AFL turf and guests will be able to examine an official AFL football, jersey and helmet.

From Las Vegas gambling to prostitution at the BunnyRanch

Tired of the same old ''gamble your life savings away'' thing in Las Vegas?

Well, there's this ''alternative'' you'll definitely dig. Apparently, somewhere deep in the outskirts of all these gambling activities, there lies a brothel that takes advantage of Nevada's legalized prostitution crap.

Yep, apparently, prostitution is legal at the Moonlite BunnyRanch brothel and owner, or should I say, ''King Pimp,'' Dennis Hof is having, ''a lot of fun'' in Nevada for sure.

Heck, if he was able to pull this off, then Hugh Hefner ain't got shit on this dawg. This guy even has his own HBO series for crying out loud, entitled ''Cathouse,'' featuring Dennis Hof's beloved brothel where countless hot whores call home.

Oh yeah, Dennis Hof found his ''wife'' there too.

Dennis and his ''bunnies'' will be flying into NYC to do some major media concerning the next season of Cathouse, including many radio stations on The Sirius Network, like Eminem's Show, Shade 45, Alex Bennette, Rude Jude, Derek & Romaine and The Howard Stern Show.

It is Dennis Hof's goal to see prostitution become a major economic force in society's mainstream, if you can imagine that. He'd like to help sanitize the sleazy ''street corner hooker'' image. He foresees a coming cultural atmosphere in which those seeking female companionship can easily find a safe, legal place to get laid.

''The BunnyRanch is an example of how sex-for-sale is going to be in America within the next 30 years,'' Dennis Hof said. He tells his girls, ''Everybody likes sex. If you're not buying it, you should be selling it.''

Amen to that brother.

Hof said, ''A guy will think of events to come to in Reno; ski trips, bowling, Hot August Nights, poker tournaments and in the back of his mind think of going to the BunnyRanch.''

The Eastern Conference meets the Western Conference at the NBA All Star Game in Las Vegas

And no, unlike what Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. started years back, there won't be any guns involved whatsoever.

The NBA's ''mid-season classic'' returns for it's 2007 offering as the best players from the Eastern Conference meet the towering giants of the Western Conference. Yep, it's the East going up against the West and judging by this year's starting line-ups, the East will get their asses creamed good.

This year, unlike last season's Detroit Pistons theme, the East will only have two Pistons on their roster. Yep, they actually snubbed Tayshaun Prince again. And to make matters worse, Rasheed Wallace wasn't even asked to return.

Richard Hamilton and Chauncey Billups were selected as East reserves but c'mon, snubbing Sheed and Tayshaun for a struggling Miami Heat tandem of Dwyane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal? Puh-leaze...

Yep, you read it, D-Wade and Shaq made it to the starting line-up yet again, despite all their struggles this season. Hell, Shaq did not even played MOST of the first half of the season for chrissake. Something's definitely wrong there.

Joining the pathetic Miami Vice wannabes are the likes of LeBron James, Gilbert Arenas and the much improved Chris Bosh.

The West is where it's at this year. They were able to form one solid starting five, and that's saying with or without a Yao Ming at the starting center spot. For all ya'll who don't know it yet, Yao Ming won't be playing in this year's NBA All Star game in Las Vegas with him nursing an injury.

NO PROBLEM. The likes of Memo Okur and Dirk Nowitzki can definitely fill that void.

This year's West lineup is a mismatch waiting to happen compared to what the East came up with. The frontline of Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan will definitely dwarf anyone on the court matched up against them while the backcourt of Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady can take advantage of their combination of size and speed against an East backcourt of two natural point guards. (Wade and Arenas)

Egad.

Curse of the Boston Celtics cheerleaders in the NBA

Maybe the late Boston Celtics head coach, Red Auerbach, knew something.

Since his tenure as the Boston Celtics head coach, Red Auerbach despised the idea of having cheerleaders in an NBA Basketball game. Now that the Celtics cheerleaders made their debut this 2007 NBA Basketball season, the Boston Celtics basketball team can't seem to win games.

Hmm... Are these lovely cheerleaders the one to blame why Paul Pierce and the rest of the Boston Celtics are losing this much? Hmm... At least they have a huge chance of drafting either Greg Oden or Kevin Durant in the NBA Draft. The only problem is, that day is still a LOOONG way from February.

Since legendary NBA head coach Red Auerbach, the patriarch of the once proud Celtics green, passed away, two things he resisted most took to his home court, a dance team and a losing team.

What gives? Are these Celtics losing because of a godforsaken dance team? Well, if you believe that, then you might as well believe that infamous Madden cover curse is causing all them season-ending injuries in the NFL.

Wait, come to think of it, maybe it does. And if that is the truth then the Boston Celtics will be having one fucked up season for sure.

Should Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers have the opportunity to coach either Greg Oden or Kevin Durant in the next NBA Basketball season, then perhaps this lengthy trip through purgatory was worth the disappointment. Until then, though, all his fellow coaches can do is send sympathy cards.

Maybe if they get rid of their cheerleaders, will they turn this godforsaken season into a winning one? If they do that, they will take the only remaining reason why Celtics fans come to their home games away.

Can Paul Pierce still lead the Boston Celtics to the NBA Playoffs? Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:

Chicago Bulls 7/1

Detroit Pistons 9/1

Dallas Mavericks 7/2

Miami Heat 4/1 (boo!)

Greg Oden who? It's the Kevin Durant show in this College Basketball season's March Madness wars

Just when you thought Greg Oden of the Ohio State Buckeyes is a lock for the overall no.1 draft pick in the NBA Draft, a Longhorn comes out.

Yep, Kevin Durant of the Texas Longhorns, all of a sudden, is playing like Superman in basketball shoes. No one can seem to stop Kevin Durant lately and it seems all that media hype surrounding Ohio State's dominant giant seem to fade and starts to surround Texas' young superstar.

Every NCAA College Basketball team unfortunate enough to face Kevin Durant and the rest of the Texas Longhorns are just going nuts trying to stop this kid. They threw basically everything at the guy but Kevin just kept on going.

Full court man to man defense? Half court zones? They used 'em all, and NONE can't seem to work.

''He's the best freshman and one of the best players I've ever seen,'' Texas A&M head coach Billy Gillispie said. ''I don't think anyone has figured anything out. I think it's going to take NBA players to slow him down, and I doubt if they're going to do a very good job either.''

''I know people have tried to do different things (defensively),'' Texas assistant coach Russ Springmann said. ''Some people have face-guarded him. Some people have tried to be physical with him.''

''To Kevin's credit and his teammates' credit, he's continued to move and play in the flow of the game and his teammates have done a great job of paying attention to where he is and trying to find him when he's open.''

Yeah yeah, I'm sure Kevin Durant is a talented player. But we all know what happened to college standouts with hype like this heading to the NBA Draft. Remember when they said Michael Olowakandi was a combination of a young Hakeem Olajuwon and Shaquille O'Neal?

Of course you do. He plays like a jackass and runs like Charles Barkley.

Can Kevin Durant lead the Texas Longhorns to win the NCAA College Basketball championship? Here are some odds from Bodog sportsbook.

Pistons found out there's gas left in Chris Webber's tank

Chris Webber is doing better than Allen Iverson, let's just put it that way.

Yep, Chris Webber and Allen Iverson, once known as the Philadelphia 76ers formidable tandem, are now with two separate teams. Iverson joined the Denver Nuggets and C-Webb went back home in Detroit to join the Pistons.

Since then, Chris Webber has been faring awfully better than his ex-76er counterpart. Allen Iverson, since his move from Philly to Denver, has continually battled with injuries all season and his presence on the court did not necessarily meant more wins.

The Denver Nuggets were hovering around .500, before and after the Iverson trade.

Chris Webber, on the other hand, has given the Detroit Pistons another solid offensive threat. Almost everybody thought Chris Webber was done, damaged goods, but after watching C-Webb put up 15+ points with 5+ assists in his No.84 Pistons uniform, everybody knew then that they were wrong.

Heck, there's a resurrection in the East coast and it ain't Tupac. It's Chris Webber.

The Chris Webber we see today could be even better than the Webber who underwent a microfracture surgery in 2003. Hell, this Webber could be even better than the explosive Fab 5 guy who first entered the league.

Why? Well, C-Webb is wiser these days. Instead of trying to overpower seven-foot, 300-pound monsters inside the paint, Chris Webber is using his veteran savvy to get the best out of every opponent.

Heck, add that to his STILL incredible passing skills and you have one great pickup nobody saw coming.

Can Chris Webber lead the Detroit Pistons to the NBA Playoffs? Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:

Chicago Bulls 7/1

Detroit Pistons 9/1

The Duke Blue Devils gaining on the North Carolina Tar Heels coming to the March Madness wars

Yep, and all this at the expense of the Boston College Eagles.

Apparently, the then struggling Duke Blue Devils all of a sudden has caught fire after their 78-70 win over the Boston College Eagles a few days ago. And to make matters more interesting, the once invincible North Carolina Tar Heels are slumping... (NOOO!)

Josh McRoberts, refusing to let his Blue Devils fade away in to the sunset with the March Madness wars just a few more weeks away, came up with a solid double-double performance of 18 points and 11 rebounds to help his team avoid its first five-game losing streak ever in the era of head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

''It's a big win for us. It's a huge win,'' said Duke Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski, grinning. ''We're young. We're getting better. We just have to keep fighting.''

Playing their first game after dropping out of the Top 25 for the first time in nearly 11 years, Duke pressured the Boston College Eagles guards from the start and used an efficient halfcourt offense that led to a number of layups and dunks in beating the no.1 team in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).

''I was confident,'' McRoberts said. ''It wasn't like 'we've lost four straight so we're going to lose this one.'''

And just when you thought the Boston College Eagles had enough, they will face the North Carolina Tar Heels, a team determined to get back on track, on Saturday.

North Carolina's shield of invincibility is slowly being stripped away as more NCAA College Basketball teams realize the Tar Heels can be attacked (before they can attack you). Big game Saturday night at BC which could help determine the ACC champ.

Isn't it weird that the fate of both the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Duke Blue Devils rely on the ACC-leading Boston College Eagles? Just one of those things that makes this year's March Madness wars even more interesting.

Can Josh McRoberts lead the Duke Blue Devils to win the NCAA College Basketball championship? Here are some odds from Bodog sportsbook.

Another comeback for John Elway, this time with AFL

Yep, there's no reason why we should stop talking about football.

Remember John Elway? Yep, he was that great Denver Broncos quarterback who just kept on leading his team back in what should've been lost football games. Yep, he was that NFL Football icon who walked out of the game as a Super Bowl champion, TWICE. And yeah, he's that guy Jake Plummer tried to replace, and if you really want to know, Plummer failed miserably.

THIS TIME, it seems John Elway is making yet another comeback. He won't be in his familiar Broncos No.7 though but in a suit as he will begin an era in the Arena Football League (AFL) as chairman of the league's prestigious Executive Committee.

Expect John Elway to make a comeback in ESPN's sports headlines, provided that the AFL does good this year. Well, with ESPN finally covering AFL Football games, it's a possibility.

Colorado Crush co-owner John Elway was elected chairman of the AFL Executive Committee by the members of that committee at the AFL Board Meetings in Miami. The said committee works closely with AFL Football commissioner David Baker on all pertinent league matters and generally votes on all issues before they are presented to the Board of Directors.

Owner of the Los Angeles Avengers (Avengers? Where did these pathetic AFL team names came from?..) Casey Wasserman was the Executive Committee chairman before John Elway. He served as chairman for almost three years before rotating out of the position.

Now that the legendary Broncos QB takes over, Wasserman will serve the committee as Chairman Emeritus.

Elway, on the other hand, also rotates off as chairman of the Rules and Competition Committee, although he remains a member of that group.

The NBA All-Star Weekend Slam Dunk Contest will be judged by REAL Slam Dunk Champs

Who better to judge a slam dunk contest than these slam dunk champions right?

Yep, we all saw the likes of Charles Barkley bastardizing the most electrifying play in NBA Basketball, THE DUNK, blabbering about things they don't understand. Hell, one of the greatest dunkers in the game today, Andre Iguodala, even said Kenny Smith screwed him last year, leading to his decision not to join the slam dunk contest this NBA All-Star weekend in Las Vegas.

Well, it will be different this season. THIS TIME, slam dunk champions will judge the slam dunk contest on All-Star Saturday night, not aging overweight retards like Sir Charles Barkley.

Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins will lead the Slam Dunk contest judges this year. 'His Airness' and 'the Human Highlight Film' will be joined by 'Doctor J' Julius Erving and two of today's most electrifying aerial displays, Kobe Bryant and Vince Carter.

Wow. It doesn't get any better than that right?

Michael Jordan gave us that classic ''leap from the free throw line dunk,'' Kobe Bryant gave us that ''between the legs slam'' and Vince Carter showed us that crazy ''360 counter-clockwise between the legs jam.'' WHEW!

New York Knicks guard Nate Robinson will return to defend his Slam Dunk title. He will be joined by Chicago Bulls rookie Tyrus Thoms, Boston Celtics forward Gerald Green and Orlando Magic superstar, Dwight Howard.

After the 5-foot-9 Nate Robinson needed 14 attempts to complete a dunk in last year's dunk-off, a new rule is being implemented this season allowing competitors 2 minutes to complete a dunk once they've received the ball from the referee. If they haven't dunked within that time, they will have two more chances to do so.

Can Nate Robinson lead the New York Knicks to the NBA Playoffs? Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:

Chicago Bulls 7/1

Detroit Pistons 9/1

Dallas Mavericks 7/2

Miami Heat 4/1 (boo!)

What to do without NFL Football

Now that the Colts destroyed the Bears at Super Bowl XLI to end the season as champions, football season is officially over.

Yep, sad to say but we would have to wait for September until the brand new NFL Football season starts all over again. Yep, it will definitely be one long wait. But hey, there's always the NBA anyway.

We will remember the time when big brother Peyton made little brother Eli cry like a baby to start the season, we will remember the time when the Arizona Cardinals just went nuts after blowing a 24-0 lead to the Chicago Bears and yep, we will remember how Rex Grossman looked like a jackass at Super Bowl XLI to help Peyton Manning win his first Super Bowl.

Now what? Now that the NFL Football season is over, what is there left to do? Will time stop just because football season is finally over? Will the world stop turning? Here are just some things you can try while waiting for the new NFL Football season on September.

If you're the married type, you can start learning the names of your children. LEARN IT, don't use name tags only to put it on your children's backs and have jersey numbers corresponding to which one was born first.

Again, if you're married, you can say something to your wife without using the words ''blitz, shotgun, nickel package, dime umbrella and motherfucking referee.'' Oh yeah, NEVER call your wife for a ''false start'' when too much time elapses between the call for dinner and the meal appearing.

Give your liver time to get in shape for the next Super Bowl. Hold off drinking until noon.

Help your children with their Math homework. If they are having a hard time with, say, percentages, explain that if they were betting on the Indianapolis Colts, the bookie's 10 percent vig would necessitate risking $55 to win $50.

Last but not the least, if you really have to have your NFL Football, you can always watch ''games'' with Madden. Just set-up a CPU vs. CPU game between any two teams and enjoy. Heck, you can bet on those games too if you want.

The North Carolina Tar Heels will win the NCAA College Basketball championship and cream Duke

I'm telling you, this is the year when the Tar Heels blue will be at the top of the food chain again.

Tyler Hansbrough and the North Carolina Tar Heels. Yep, this edition of J.J. Jack's favorite NCAA College Basketball team sure has come a long way since winning the title with Rashad McCants and that fat boy, Sean May.

March Madness is coming folks and it's about time the North Carolina Tar Heels goes back on top. Oh yeah, you just know they're coming baby and not even the stupid Blue Devils can do a damn thing about it.

While it was merely a couple of years back, McCants' Tar Heels are waaay different from Hansbrough's boys. This time, the North Carolina Tar Heels don't have that single explosive player that can ignite whenever he chooses. Rashad McCants was exactly that for North Carolina a couple of years ago.

THIS TIME, North Carolina is beating NCAA College Basketball teams with gang mentality. They don't rely on any single player these days, as talented as Tyler Hansbrough is. They are just THAT deep this season and having the rest of the team ganging up on anyone is always a possibility any given basketball game.

''They can overwhelm you with their speed and how fast they get the ball on you,'' Miami Hurricanes head coach Frank Haith said.

''You have to have the ability to get back and set your defense very quickly. That's the one thing that you really have to be prepared for. You can't turn the ball over. If you turn it over, it's the kiss of death in terms of how fast they put the ball on you. Even if you score, you've got to be in a dead sprint getting back in transition defense.''

''North Carolina, in my mind, might be the best team in the country,'' Haith said. ''I think in terms of their depth, in terms of their talent and in terms of what coach [Roy] Williams brings to the table, I think they're a great basketball team.''

''I don't think anybody is better than North Carolina in the country right now,'' Maryland Terrapins head coach Gary Williams said.

Can the North Carolina Tar Heels win the NCAA College Basketball championship? Here are some odds from Bodog sportsbook.

Florida Gators 9/2

Ohio State Buckeyes 8/1

North Carolina Tar Heels 5/1

UCLA Bruins 8/1

NBA Trade Deadline is near, who is Untradable?

Well, is there such a thing as ''untradable'' anyway?

Hmm... After seeing Shaquille O'Neal get traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Miami Heat and Allen Iverson going to the Denver Nuggets from the Philadelphia 76ers, I guess NOBODY is ''untradable.''

Yep, not even LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. Besides, why would you keep a guy who gnaws at his nails all day and someone over his 20's who still can't spell his name right?

Los Angeles Clippers forward Elton Brand apparently thinks there are some guys out there who are ''untradable.'' Of course, why would we even bother to care what this fat retard has to say right? He he... Here it is anyway.

''I think it goes probably Yao [Ming], [Tim] Duncan, Kobe [Bryant], Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, and a few guys are right there on the cusp. But that would be my five, and I would say right now they're untradable,'' Elton Brand said.

As it turns out, Brand believes the exact opposite that I do huh? He actually thinks LeBron and Wade are both ''untradable.'' Of course, for somebody who plays for the Los Angeles Clippers, we all know his credibility is as solid as the Clippers' pathetic frontline.

Elton Brand does not expect to be traded, but he believes the Los Angeles Clippers would move him if an unbelievable offer came their way.

''I don't think it's too absurd [to consider]. It is what is it, it's a business. And if they ever felt that money-wise or to improve team-wise, they might do something, I think it could happen. Not just because Shaq got traded or this guy got traded, but you know, it happens,'' Elton Brand said.

Then, five minutes later, Elton Brand learned that he got traded for Jason Kapono. He he... Just kidding.

Can Elton Brand lead the Los Angeles Clippers to the NBA Playoffs? Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:

Chicago Bulls 7/1

Detroit Pistons 9/1

Dallas Mavericks 7/2

Miami Heat 4/1 (boo!)

NASCAR Superstar Dale Earnhardt Jr. wants his mom to just stay the hell away from the family car

Only in NASCAR will you see a son screwing his mom.

No... Wait... Get that sick image out of your head... PERVERT. No, when I mean Dale Earnhardt Jr. is screwing his stepmom, I don't mean it in a perverted kind of way only Dennis Rodman will do to his own mother. No, what I meant was, Dale Earnhardt Jr. wants to screw his stepmom, Terese Earnhardt, of her money.

Yep, this two-month old drama between Dale Earnhardt Jr. and stepmom Terese Earnhardt apparently took a rather dramatic turn. It turns out, all junior wanted was simple, he wants all of it.

If ya'll don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Teresa Earnhardt were going toe to toe over ownership of their NASCAR Racing team. They can't seem to find one solution that would make everybody happy.

Now, Dale junior wants all of it, and you bet, this situation will only get worse from here on out. (Not that I give a flying fuck anyway...)

''I want majority ownership, that's basically it,'' Dale Earnhardt Jr. said. ''I want more than 50 percent, absolutely. The main factor is the ownership part. It has nothing to do with money or nothing else, really. I really like my team, I like the way things are going, Max [Max Siegel, DEI president of global operations for DEI] is going to be great for the company, the motors are improving.''

''Everything's on the upswing, but my father's been gone for five, six years now, so I want majority ownership,'' he added.

Uh oh...

Oh yeah, Terese Earnhardt removed herself from these negotiations with her stepson. She left the negotiations to Siegel and DEI vice president of racing operations Richie Gilmore.

Can Dale Earnhardt Jr. win the NASCAR championship? Who will bag this year’s Nextel Cup? Bodog has the odds on who will win the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series.

Jeff Gordon 8/1

Juan Pablo Montoya 50/1

Final AFC-NFC battle at the 2007 Pro Bowl in Hawaii

This is our last taste of NFL Football before we make that long wait for next season in September.

Yep, the best players in the AFC will meet the best players in the NFC to play in the annual Pro Bowl game at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii. Unlike Super Bowl XLI where the last two surviving teams of the playoffs play for the Vince Lombardi trophy, the Pro Bowl is THE battle of the very best, they just don't take it seriously as they do a Super Bowl championship game.

At the 2007 Pro Bowl, you'll see the best players in the world. Guys like Super Bowl XLI Champions Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning and WR Marvin Harrison will be there, teaming up with San Diego Chargers RB LaDainian Tomlinson and Kansas City Chiefs TE Tony Gonzales NOT to represent their respective teams but to play for one team, in this case, the AFC Conference.

Speaking of the AFC Conference, five players from the Super Bowl XLI champions will be there. Joining Peyton and Marvin will be Colts wideout Reggie Wayne, tackle Tarik Glenn and center Jeff Saturday. (You just know Jeff Saturday will be out this Saturday to have a huge NFL Football Saturday game on Pro Bowl Saturday... He he...)

As for the NFC Conference, watching the demise of their conference brothers, the Chicago Bears, is still fresh from their memories. Either that or they just don't give a rat's ass about the Bears or Rex Grossman. Nevertheless, they will be out to prove that they are the better conference in the league and would stop at nothing in teaching Super Bowl XLI MVP Peyton Manning a thing or two.

New Orleans Saints explosive QB Drew Brees will lead the NFC offense. Wideouts Donald Driver of the Green Bay Packers and Steve Smith of the Carolina Panthers will be waiting for Brees' deep 40-yard passes while Atlanta Falcons TE Alge Crumpler will be ready whenever Brees looks in his direction in case both Driver and Smith are covered.

Who will win the 2007 Pro Bowl at Aloha Stadium in Hawaii? Bodog has the odds on this NFL Football game on Saturday.

AFC Conference -4

NFC Conference +4

What if the Indianapolis Colts made a mistake and drafted Ryan Leaf instead of Peyton Manning?

Ryan who?

Yep, the name Ryan Leaf is almost synonymous to TRADE BUST these days but back in April of 1998, his name, and that of a young Peyton Manning, were always mentioned in a debate on who should be drafted first.

Ryan Leaf was as good a quarterback as a Peyton Manning back in college. If not better. Leaf was a junior quarterback in Washington State when he decided to forego his senior year and enter the NFL Draft.

Nobody expected Ryan Leaf to have the season he had in his junior year. He passed for 3,968 yards and 34 touchdowns with 11 interceptions to lead the Washington State Cougars to their first Rose Bowl in 67 looong years.

As for our Peyton Manning? He entered his senior season at Tennessee as the consensus top pick for the upcoming NFL Draft. Manning did little to disappoint, throwing for 3,819 yards and 37 touchdowns, compared to 11 interceptions. But he wasn't the HOT STUFF so to speak then, it was Ryan Leaf, and yep, his overall No.1 pick status sure was in jeopardy.

Peyton Manning was viewed as the conservative choice, while Ryan Leaf, who had a considerably stronger arm, actually was thought to have the bigger upside.

The Indianapolis Colts ultimately went with Peyton while Ryan Leaf was signed by the San Diego Chargers after trading up to the second pick to get him. San Diego then inked Leaf with a contract that has the largest signing bonus ever paid to a rookie.

Now, Ryan Leaf is nowhere to be found while Peyton Manning just won a Super Bowl for the Indianapolis Colts. Isn't it weird that San Diego passed on another Manning, this time Eli, to get Philip Rivers, after passing on Peyton a few years back?

And yeah, what if the Colts drafted Ryan? Um... The Colts would've still won with Ryan Leaf at Super Bowl XLI as long as Rex Grossman is there to fuck things up for the Chicago Bears. He he...

J.J. Redick No.4 Jersey retired by the Duke Blue Devils

At least J.J. Redick can smile for a change.

In a year when J.J. Redick sees more of the bench than the court, the Duke Blue Devils retire his No.4 Duke jersey to pay tribute to perhaps the greatest Blue Devil to ever play for Duke University.

Well, we can't see Redick's greatness these days since the Orlando Magic just refuse to put their Blue Devil on the court but I got to tell you, J.J. Redick is one helluva' shooter.

J.J. Redick is the most prolific scorer in Duke and Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) history. Watching him is just plain ridiculous. Double team him, triple team him, it won't matter. It doesn't surprise me that the guy is receiving all these accolades at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

The 6-foot-4 guard was honored during a Duke Blue Devils basketball game. A banner bearing his number was unveiled in the rafters at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

''I am just extremely humbled,'' Orlando Magic rookie J.J. Redick said. ''Every time now that I walk into Cameron, it's going to mean something more. This is something that I crazily dreamed about years ago.''

He became the 13th player in school history to have his jersey retired, and second this season. Two-time national defensive player of the year Shelden Williams had his No.23 retired before Redick had his.

J.J. Redick, now playing for the Orlando Magic as a rookie, wearing No.7, averaged 19.9 points during his four seasons. Redick finished 16th in NCAA history with a school and conference record of a whopping 2,769 points.

He is also the record-holder for most three-pointers in the NCAA with ridiculous 457 long bombs.

Can the Duke Blue Devils win the NCAA College Basketball championship? Here are some odds from Bodog sportsbook.

Florida Gators 9/2

Ohio State Buckeyes 8/1

North Carolina Tar Heels 5/1

UCLA Bruins 8/1

Forbes Magazine and their new list of the Most Valuable Sports Brands and Events... Whatever...

Once again, Forbes magazine made yet another list that nobody seems to give a shit about.

Well, I don't but I'm going to give it to ya'll anyway. Yep, Forbes magazine, the very publication that just keeps on giving us lists like ''the top 10 richest celebrities in the world,'' or ''the top 10 richest gay men who have a crush on Rex Grossman,'' (okay I made that last one up...) has another one.

THIS TIME, it's Forbes magazine's list of the top 10 sporting brands and events in the proud US of A. Of course, you just know that the Super Bowl will STILL top that but hey, here goes.

Super Bowl is still champ. The Super Bowl is worth $379 million, which explains why the National Football League (NFL) is the media giant it is today. Hell, consumer brands like Pepsi and Sprint Nextel pay a lot of money just to have a spot at a Super Bowl broadcast. Advertisements on a Super Bowl, more often than not, appear only DURING a Super Bowl. Some even are made only for the Super Bowl. That's how big it is.

Next in this Forbes magazine list is the Summer Olympics. In terms of total revenue, next summer's Olympics will rake in more than any other sporting event, $3 billion. The Beijing Games will leverage their global audience with $1.7 billion from broadcasters, a record for the Olympics. But because the Olympics cover 17 days, its brand value is $203 million less than the Super Bowl.

Third is the FIFA World Cup for reasons beyond me. So I guess we'll move on from here mmmkay?

Fourth is the Daytona 500. Yep, the redneck art of NASCAR racing made it folks. Once considered almost exclusively a sport of the U.S. South, stock car racing has become the second most popular sport in the country. Worth $91 million, NASCAR's Daytona 500 is Forbes magazine's fourth most valuable brand. Last year's race took home $47 million from broadcaster Fox, which is owned by News Corp.

Who will be your Super Bowl XLI pick? Colts or Bears?

Yep, after a week of over-analyzing this game, Super Bowl Sunday has finally come and it's time to choose sides.

So who'll be your pick? Who do you think will win Super Bowl XLI at Miami, Florida? Will you go for Peyton Manning and his Indianapolis Colts or Rex Grossman and the Chicago Bears?

Which defense will be a factor on Super Bowl Sunday? Will it be Dwight Freeney and the great Colts pass rush or will it be Brian Urlacher and the intimidating Bears D? Urlacher may have the edge over this match-up but where the Colts give the edge to the Bears on D, they take the advantage on offense with Peyton Manning over Bears QB Rex Grossman.

So I guess that puts us all back to square one now right? He he...

Okay, let's analyze Super Bowl XLI for the last time... Let's start with the quarterbacks. Without a shadow of a doubt, Peyton Manning WILL CREAM Rex Grossman. Manning has been preparing for this game his entire life after being denied by Tom Brady and the New England Patriots year after year.

Peyton Manning was finally able to beat Brady and he'll be damned if he lets a young and inconsistent quarterback like Rex Grossman deny him of a Super Bowl ring yet again.

As for Rex? Well, he's good on his good days but he's at his worst on his bad ones. He's cocky and confident yes, but cockiness doesn't win championships, experience does. Advantage? Indianapolis Colts.

As for defense, of course, the best defensive guy on the field this Sunday would have to be Chicago Bears MLB, Brian Urlacher. But as good as Urlacher is, he may not be ''good enough'' to get the best of Peyton. Remember, Peyton Manning already faced one of this types when he faced MLB Ray Lewis and the Baltimore Ravens defense in this year's AFC Divisional Playoffs.

Manning will find a way to get the football to his receiver one way or another and I doubt it if Urlacher can stop this guy for every play. Besides, Urlacher can't be in two places at once right? And when you're playing the Indianapolis Colts, you have to be, with guys like Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne waiting for Peyton to drop them 20-30 yard passes in their direction.

If the Colts go conservative and decides to run with the football, then maybe Brian Urlacher can become a factor. But of course, Colts head coach Tony Dungy knows too well that nobody can get through that Urlacher wall so my best bet is these Colts would choose to go airborne.

We're going to get a great game from Peyton Manning. The Chicago Bears D isn't a defense like the New England Patriots that shows confusing looks in putting pressure on the quarterback. This is a straightforward defense that will show him where the pressure will come from. That means Manning is going to have time to throw the ball, and when he has time to throw the ball, he's deadly.

Sorry Patriots fans / Bears fans / Peyton Manning haters, but Peyton and the rest of the Indianapolis Colts will win Super Bowl XLI. You can hate on Peyton all you want but the fact remains that he's one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. PLUS, he's the one who made Tom Brady cry like a baby a few weeks ago. He's so good this year that I'm becoming a Colts fan myself. Or I'm just saying that because the Oakland Raiders just SUCKED. He he...

Rex Grossman may be the young quarterback ''destined'' to win the Super Bowl just like Ben Roethlisberger last year but Peyton wasn't around last year to stop ''destiny.''

He is now and he's coming for his ring. In case you don't know it yet, J.J. Jack is picking the... (drum roll please..) INDIANAPOLIS COLTS.

Can Peyton Manning lead the Indianapolis Colts to win Super Bowl XLI? Who will win Super Bowl XLI at Miami, Florida? Bodog has the outright odds on that one.

Indianapolis Colts -7

Chicago Bears +7
