2007-08 NFL Football Week 4 Betting Picks

The Patriots undefeated? CHECK. The Colts too? CHECK. Miami still suck? CHECK. Packers are perfect? Wha?!?

Yep, that's apparently the theme after three weeks into the 2007-08 NFL football season. Brett Favre and the Green Bay Packers are the talk of the town, topping the struggling Chargers, Belichick's cameras and of course, Terrell Owens.

On Sunday, Week 4 of the NFL season will see the red-hot Green Bay Packers (because green is the new red...) visit Minnesota to take on the Vikings. This would be an NFC North rivalry game you shouldn't miss, that is if you want to witness history on Sunday.

Yes, Brett Favre could very well be the all-time leader in touchdowns when they visit Minnesota. As of press time, the immortal Favre is tied with Dan Marino for most career touchdowns in the NFL.

That's 420 TDs for all ya'll too lazy to do your research. Another touchdown for Brett Favre against a very pathetic Vikings defense is inevitable. Oh yeah, in case you're wondering, there's no reason for you to bet against the Green Bay Packers. Take 'em to win -6.5 over the Minnesota Vikings people.

On NFL Sunday Night Football, one of the biggest rivalries in the NFC will resume their storied history as the Philadelphia Eagles visit the New York Giants at Giant Stadium. The Eagles are coming off a killer game, when Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb came up with a rather ridiculous four-touchdown game where he virtually ate up 381 yards in the air.

That's after Donovan McNabb made all those comments about how black QBs get scrutinized more in the NFL.

As for their Sunday night rivals, the New York Giants are just happy to return to Giant Stadium finally winning their first game in the 2007-08 NFL football season. Eli Manning had 232 yards passing as he led the Giants to squeeze past the Washington Redskins.

Who should you pick for Sunday Night Football? I'm picking the Philadelphia Eagles just because Donovan McNabb is STILL probably hot. And yeah, the Giants' win over Washington last Sunday was just a fluke.

Pick the Philadelphia Eagles -3 over the little Giants from New York City.

On Monday night, the still undefeated New England Patriots take on the high-flying offense of the Cincinnati Bengals in what should be a Monday Night Football extravaganza that will feature two of the best quarterback - wideout tandems in the league today.

In the New England Patriots, we have Tom Brady and Randy Moss. Both of them rank atop their respective positions in all of football and you just know that both of them will light up the scoreboard again on Monday night.

As for the Cincinnati Bengals, wide receiver Chad Johnson is still the man, leading the league in receiving yards with 442 after three weeks of football. QB Carson Palmer, on the other hand, is coming to his own now and should form one deadly one-two punch with Ocho Cinco for Cincinnati once the guy has finally settled in.

This should be one exciting game on Monday Night Football. Who should you pick? The New England Patriots of course. Why? Well, the 'Brady bunch' have something the Bengals don't.

Defense.

Pick the New England Patriots to win -7.5 over the Cincinnati Bengals.

As always, here's the rest of them picks for Week 4.

Oakland Raiders over the Miami Dolphins -2.5

Houston Texans over the Atlanta Falcons -6.5

Baltimore Ravens over the Cleveland Browns -13.5

Chicago Bears over the Detroit Lions -2.5

Dallas Cowboys over the St. Louis Rams (it doesn't matter how much handicap your bookie will give to them Cowboys. Just pick 'em for this one. Trust me...)

New York Jets over the Buffalo Bills -2.5

Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the Carolina Panthers -1.5

San Francisco 49ers over the Seattle Seahawks -2.5

Pittsburgh Steelers over the Arizona Cardinals -6.5

San Diego Chargers over the Kansas City Chiefs -6.5

Indianapolis Colts over the Denver Broncos -13.5

Ready for NFL Week 4 with your Fantasy Teams?

Just because we haven't been able to talk about fantasy football on our own little space, let's.

And NO, we certainly don't want to hear any of your fantasies about Britney Spears. As far as fantasy football goes, it's Week 4 of the 2007-08 NFL football season and you just know fantasy owners are just cramming to set-up their own teams for this Sunday's games.

So who should you start? Well, it shouldn't be Joey Harrington that's for sure. (Or anyone from the pathetic Atlanta Falcons for that matter...) Of course, guys like Randy Moss, Plaxico Burress and Tom Brady should always be starting for you, regardless of the number of times they go under the 'probable' list this season.

One player you definitely have to start is Green Bay Packers quarterback, Brett Favre. The guy is due to become the all-time leader in career touchdowns and the moment he sees the pathetic Vikings defense on Sunday, you just know he'll be dropping more than just one TD.

I'm this close to telling ya'll to pick up NEW starting Chicago Bears quarterback Brian Griese but I won't.

The New York Jets will take on the pathetic Buffalo Bills on Sunday. No team has ever given up more passing yards per game than the Bills this season, that's why you should pick up Jets QB Chad Pennington and his favorite target, wide receiver Laveranues Coles.

Of course, with the ''must start'' players come the names you should have no business starting for this Sunday's crop of NFL football games.

One of which is Green Bay Packers running back Brandon Jackson. Yeah sure, it is logical to assume that Jackson could have a nice game considering that the Packers are just red-hot the past few weeks.

However, if you're on a Brett Favre team going up against a Vikings defense that has one of the best run defense in all of football, you're simply screwed.

Oh yeah, Larry Johnson won't be rushing anything against the Chargers defense and stay away from anybody with a Cleveland Browns uniform on.

Suns forward Shawn Marion to join the Lakers?

That's good for the Lakers organization. Bad for Kobe Bryant fantasy owners.

Well, we just know Kobe will just hog the ball anyway so I guess that's that. And in case you're wondering, YEAH, Shawn Marion is thinking about leaving the Phoenix Suns to join Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers heading to the brand new 2007-08 NBA basketball season.

I guess the Los Angeles Lakers are giving up on their Lamar Odom experiment eh? As for Kobe's thoughts on this rumored Shawn Marion deal with the Lakers? Kobe wants it to happen... Badly.

Well, that's what 'The Matrix' (that STILL is the most ridiculous nickname in all of basketball... jeez...) claims anyway. Shawn Marion says he already talked to the Lakers superstar and he says Kobe Bryant ''embraced it.''

Shawn Marion has been playing with the Phoenix Suns even before they became this good after signing Steve Nash back from the Dallas Mavericks. Now that his team has become probably one of the best there is in the NBA today, Marion feels he's no longer needed.

And with a team with such names like Steve Nash and Amare Stoudemire on its roster, Marion feels he's no longer loved. (It probably has something to do with his stupid moniker taken from one of Keanu Reeves' movies...)

''My name has been mentioned in trades over and over,'' Shawn Marion said. ''I'm tired of hearing about it. It's time for me to take the next step and leave. It's like a bad marriage. It's time to get up. I love my fans, I love the city, I love my teammates. I just think it's time for me to leave.''

Shawn Marion is now in danger of succumbing to the ''Joe Johnson'' experience. That's leaving a powerhouse team in Phoenix to become a star in a team that's still miles away from becoming a title contender.

Just ask Johnson what's life like in Atlanta where they miss the playoffs every single season.

Who will win the NBA title in the 2007-08 NBA basketball season? AcesAce Sportsbook has the odds.

San Antonio Spurs EVEN +350

Cleveland Cavaliers EVEN +1,300

Manchester United says they're not panicking this 2007 English Premiere League season yet

Well, that's according to Man-U star Ryan Giggs anyway.

In case you were living under a rock lately, defending Premiership champions, Manchester United, had a rather humbling start to the brand new 2007-08 English Premiere League season.

Yep, Manchester United was caught sleeping after the first three games of the season. They scored just two points after three fixtures, failing to even make it to the top four spots of the early standings.

As of press time, riding from their impressive five-game winning streak, Manchester United now sits second best, erasing the fears Man-U supporters had after the rather disappointing start of their favorite team.

Of course, their win over Chelsea FC last Sunday was HUGE. A game that probably led to the demise of the Jose Mourinho era in Stamford Bridge. (With that said... Let's take a moment of silence to... Aw fuck it...)

Ryan Giggs knows that his club's sudden resurgence the past few days is big for their campaign to defend the Premiership title this year. Of course, he also knows playing second fiddle to Manchester City at the start of the season just sucked.

''Outside the club there might have been a little bit of a panic after those first few matches but there was none inside,'' Ryan Giggs said. ''The performances were actually quite good, it was only the results that weren't going for us.''

''When you look at how experienced the manager is, and also some of the players I suppose, you knew we were capable of going on a decent run, which is what has happened.''

''I guess the irony is that up until the Chelsea game, we had not played as well in the matches we have won as we did, certainly against Manchester City, when we created an unbelievable amount of chances but still lost.''

So does this mean it'll be all Man-U all the way to the title? Tune in and find out people.

Here are the odds from Bodog on who will win the 2007-08 English Premiere League title.

Manchester United +150

Chelsea FC +150

Liverpool FC +550

Arsenal FC +650

Steven Jackson NFL Fantasy Owners are now screwed

Thankfully, I just traded the sonuvabitch for Joseph Addai. Sorry Neo, I guess I just screwed you over after that trade after all. He he...

As the St. Louis Rams continue to struggle in this 2007-08 NFL football season, Rams RB Steven Jackson just got blitzed by a left groin injury that could have him out for a week, at least. Ouch.

Yep, Steven Jackson, after struggling for the third straight week, left last Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a partial tear on his left groin. He is now ruled out for their next Sunday's dance with the Dallas Cowboys and that's already the St. Louis Rams being optimistic about it.

How bad has this season been for these guys? Jeez... After losing Orlando Pace, the seven-time Pro Bowl tackle that clears the lanes for the Rams RBs, in the very first game of the football year with a season-ending shoulder injury, they lost Steven Jackson a day after losing guard Mark Setterstrom, who is also now out for the remainder of what should be a rather fucked up season.

For all ya'll who STILL owns Steven Jackson in your fantasy teams, you better drop this guy now because even if he turns out to be eligible to play, their won't be anyone left in the Rams' frontline to clear the lanes for him anyway.

St. Louis Rams quarterback Marc Bulger is the only guy left playing for St. Louis. Oh by the way, the guy is playing with bruised ribs and you just know that the Rams just can't afford to lose this guy too. He he...

We all saw that last Sunday in Tampa where the Rams just played conservatively and tried everything that they can to protect Bulger and those broken ribs. The Rams lost again to go 0-3 but at least they still have their only remaining star healthy.

That is perhaps the only thing the St. Louis Rams can hope for at this point, keep playing and stay the heck away from all those injuries.

Sad ain't it?

2007 F1 Season goes to Mount Fuji for the Japanese GP

Yep, it's time once again to rev up the engine and it's now going down the wire people.

Unless of course, you can care less about the 2007 F1 season. For the rest of ya'll, the top F1 drivers in the country will assemble for the first of the final three races of what has been a rather intriguing year in Formula One. *SOB*

The Japanese Grand Prix is the first of the final three legs that will conclude the season. After Japan, the F1 season will go to China before finally finishing in Brazil where, hopefully for Ferrari, homegrown hero Felipe Massa could win the 2007 F1 title.

Of course, Ferrari's Brazilian sensation still has a long way to go before he can have what would be a storybook ending not only to the 2007 F1 season, but to his career with Ferrari. (For all ya'll who didn't know, Felipe is rumored to be moving to Toyota next season...)

Felipe Massa currently has 77 championship points, trailing the championship points leader, Lewis Hamilton by 20. Mathematically, Felipe can still steal the title away from the top three drivers going for this year's championship. Hamilton has 97 points, followed by McLaren - Mercedes teammate Fernando Alonso who has 95.

Massa's Ferrari teammate, Kimi Raikkonen on the other hand, has 84.

Of course, this year's race for the title is best viewed between the two McLaren - Mercedes drivers, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, who have developed some kind of feud within their own team.

As of press time, the two-time defending F1 world champion, Fernando Alonso, is rumored to be leaving McLaren because of the aforementioned feud. Oh yeah, he hates his rookie teammates' guts too just because he knows Lewis Hamilton can kick his ass in more ways than one come raceday.

Who will win the 2007 F1 championship? Bodog has the odds.

Kimi Raikkonen 7/4

Fernando Alonso 7/4

Lewis Hamilton 9/2

Felipe Massa 5/2

Ugh... Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 0-4 for the first time

Yep, it seems the Irish just keeps on losing these days eh?

After four weeks into the 2007-08 NCAA college football season, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish have already set some sort of milestone that they can't possible be proud of.

For the first time in their 119 years of playing college football, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are a perfect 0-4. That's despite the fact that they got their asses all the way to the end zone, TWICE, against a team they normally would just bitch-slap all over the goddamn field, the Michigan State Spartans.

On Saturday, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish will be trying to snap what has been a rather miserable losing streak to welcome the brand new football year against the Purdue Boilermakers. That or we could very well see the Irish go 0-5 for the first time in their 119 seasons in the league.

Can you imagine what these guys will do if that happens? Well, keep on losing probably.

Against the Spartans last Saturday, the Fighting Irish scored in each of the first two quarters of their game at Notre Dame Stadium. That, however, would be the last thing they would be able to do against Michigan State as the Irish will get their asses virtually BLANKED in the second half.

End result? Michigan State Spartans beat the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, 31-14.

For what it's worth, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are already putting last Saturday's horrendous loss behind them and get ready for the Purdue Boilermakers next Saturday.

''Records to me is not the critical factor,'' Notre Dame Fighting Irish head coach Charlie Weis said. ''I'll critically evaluate this game and get ready for Purdue.''

And by that, coach Weis means how will they be bending over for the Boilermakers come game time.

According to Charlton, David Beckham is Rubbish and should just stay in England and not in L.A.

And for all ya'll who don't know who Bobby Charlton is, he's one of England's and Manchester United's legendary icons.

And as far as he's concerned, David Beckham can suck his balls and call it a good day's work. Well, maybe not but apparently, Charlton believes Beckham's lifestyle damaged his football career. Heck, Charlton says Beckham should be playing in England and not the United States.

''(Beckham) was a really, really great footballer, a marvelous talent,'' Bobby Charlton said at the launch of his autobiography. ''I saw it when he was about 10 and he has a terrific talent, but his lifestyle has gone in a different direction.''

David Beckham started generating some media attention when he was playing for the Manchester United Red Devils. Yeah, sure, a young Beckham lacked power then but that didn't stop Beckham from impressing Charlton himself.

''He wanted to be a footballer as much as any young player I've ever seen and I wonder sometimes if he thinks what's happening (now),'' Charlton said at Old Trafford.

''He's in America, he's committed to making millions of pounds,'' Charlton said. ''I would rather he was playing here in England than anywhere else, that's for sure.''

David Beckham joined Manchester United in 1989 at the young age of 14. He finally made his debut in 1992 and won six titles for the Red Devils, dominating the entire English Premiere League.

Beckham then moved to Real Madrid to play in the Spanish La Liga in 2003 before joining the Los Angeles Galaxy in MLS soccer last summer on a five-year, $32.5 million contract.

''Beckham thought that a celebrity lifestyle, being drawn increasingly into the showbiz world of his wife Victoria, was compatible with the regime of a professional footballer. His manager (Alex Ferguson) did not,'' Charlton wrote.

Don't worry Mr. Charlton, soon, you'll have the chance to come to Hollywood too.

2007-08 NFL Football Week 3 Betting Picks

It's Week 3 and one of the games I'll be watching this week is that game between the Patriots and the Bills.

The New England Patriots have a golden opportunity to finish the 2007-08 NFL football season PERFECT. Yeah, I know, it's still a little early to say that, specially about the Patriots who I heavily rooted against during last year's AFC championship game.

However, it's a little different this season. The New England Patriots have become, somewhat, devious, after the ''spying camera scandal'' and that's what I dig about them this year.

Oh yeah, they have my boy in uniform too, someone that goes by the name, Randy Moss.

They will be facing the Buffalo Bills this week, a team that's yet to win a single game this season. After getting that close to a win to start the season against Denver, they got their asses pummeled by Pittsburgh, 26-3 last Sunday.

And they have to travel to Foxboro to face a red-hot New England Patriots team?!? Jeez... I don't like their chances. Pick the Patriots to win -16.5 baby.

Sunday Night Football this week will feature a battle between two powerhouse teams from the NFC, the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Bears. Tony Romo, Terrell Owens and the rest of them Cowboys visit Soldier Field to take on what many are still considering to win the NFC.

That's considering the fact that the Chicago Bears got torched by the San Diego Chargers to kick off the 2007-08 NFL football season. If it wasn't for their win over the Kansas City Chiefs last week, they would be facing a red hot Dallas Cowboys team still searching for their first win.

And when you have a quarterback like Rex Grossman, wins are definitely hard to come.

The Dallas Cowboys are hot, just like they were when they decided to start Tony Romo behind center. The only difference now is the fact that Romo has matured from last season, not to mention moved on from that horrific botched field goal attempt that virtually booted them out of last year's playoffs.

The Dallas Cowboys will indeed be facing a very tough Chicago Bears defense. Brian Urlacher is still the heart of that ridiculously talented defense. Hell, this defense can also score if they have to.

But as long as these Cowboys get running back Marion Barber going to open up the passing lanes for Tony Romo and Terrell Owens, slaying the Bears at Soldier Field shouldn't be a problem.

Pick the Dallas Cowboys -6.5 over the Chicago Bears in a low scoring contest.

As for the rest of them games, here are my picks.

Indianapolis Colts over the Houston Texans -9.5

San Diego Chargers over the Green Bay Packers -2.5

Kansas City Chiefs over the Minnesota Vikings -2.5

Philadelphia Eagles over the Detroit Lions -6.5

New York Jets over the Miami Dolphins -6.5

Pittsburgh Steelers over the San Francisco 49ers -2.5

Baltimore Ravens over the Arizona Cardinals -13.5

St. Louis Rams over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -6.5

Denver Broncos over the Jacksonville Jaguars -13.5

Seattle Seahawks over the Cincinnati Bengals -6.5

Oakland Raiders (accidentally win) over the Cleveland Browns -1.5

Carolina Panthers over the Atlanta Falcons -6.5

New York Giants over the Washington Redskins -1.5

Hamilton - Alonso Feud Heats Up 2007 F1 Season More

Somebody tell these guys that McLaren - Mercedes already have their hands full on the Stepneygate crisis that the least they can do is shut up.

He he... Yep, as the 2007 F1 season concludes with the last three races of the season, the race to the finish just went from interesting to enticing after the latest stunt that happened between the two McLaren drivers in Belgium.

In case you didn't know it yet, Kimi Raikkonen won the 2007 Belgian Grand Prix at the Spa-Francorchamps to lead a Ferrari one-two finish in the first of the final four races of the season.

Ferrari's win guaranteed them of the 2007 constructors' title following the forfeiture of McLaren - Mercedes and their constructors' championship points after they were found guilty of stealing Ferrari documents and using them to their advantage this year.

That is ONE OF McLaren's problems this season unfortunately.

At the 2007 Belgian Grand Prix, we saw a classic example of how heated this rivalry really is between the two McLaren - Mercedes drivers, Lewis Hamilton and two-time F1 world champion, Fernando Alonso.

In case you missed the race, Fernando Alonso almost deliberately took out his own teammate, Lewis Hamilton, to start the 2007 Belgian Grand Prix. The two McLaren drivers, who are not the best of friends as it is, started the grand prix side-by-side on the second row of the grid.

Heading into the first corner they will still alongside each other when Fernando Alonso, being the silly sonuvabitch that he is, shut the door on his rookie team-mate, forcing him off the track.

Of course, Lewis Hamilton, who still leads the F1 drivers' championship after finishing fourth behind his stupid teammate, was not amused.

''It was blatant. He pushed me wide quite deliberately. I out-braked him through turn one. There was enough room for us both to get round but suddenly I didn't have any room. I tried to get around the outside but he pushed me wide. It was not a fair race maneuver,'' Lewis Hamilton said.

Hamilton still leads the drivers' championship with 97 points while Alonso closes even further with 95 points. Raikkonen and Massa have 84 and 77 respectively for Ferrari heading to the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix on September 30.

Who will win the 2007 F1 championship? Bodog has the odds.

Kimi Raikkonen 7/4

Fernando Alonso 7/4

Lewis Hamilton 9/2

Felipe Massa 5/2

Houston Texans host Indianapolis Colts in Week 3

Week 3, and surprisingly, the Houston Texas are STILL perfect.

Yep, amidst all the key match-ups in Week 3 of the 2007-08 NFL football season, the game between probably the most surprising team in the NFL, that being the Houston Texans, and the defending Super Bowl XLI champions, Indianapolis Colts, could very well be the most intriguing.

You see, both the Houston Texans and the Indianapolis Colts are currently the co-leaders of the AFC South. Yeah sure, Colts leading the division is no surprise, but what's shocking is the fact that the Houston Texans, all of a sudden, became the Colts' biggest adversaries if you will, in the division.

The Houston Texans virtually ran through their rivals after two weeks of football. They beat the Kansas City Chiefs and the Carolina Panthers by an average of two touchdowns.

Yes, they have all the momentum heading to their epic encounter with the defending Super Bowl champs.

However, with the Indianapolis Colts heading for Texas to face these Texans, perhaps the biggest key in this game is the absence of Houston's premiere wideout, Andre Johnson. Johnson already had a trio of touchdowns for the Texans after two weeks of football.

With him nursing a knee sprain, Johnson could very well be out for Week 3 game and that IS a huge problem if the Texans hope to outscore a Colts team with two talented wideouts like Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne.

Of course, the Colts also have a ridiculously talented quarterback that goes by the name of Peyton Manning too.

Pick the Indianapolis Colts to win -13.5.

Barry Bonds, mad at Marc Ecko, the man who played with his balls this 2007 MLB Baseball Season

Before anything else, I just wanted you to know that we're talking about Bonds' 756th home run ball here.

Now that THAT is out of the way, yes, Barry Bonds is furious at the guy who has his No.756 home run baseball. And in case you didn't know it yet, Barry Bonds is now the all-time home run leader after overtaking Hank Aaron's homers this 2007 MLB baseball season.

Bonds' No.756 ball is the ball that broke Aaron's record. It is safe to say that the baseball could be worth a fortune. Fashion designer Marc Ecko, of all people, have the very baseball in his possession after buying it for $752,467 in an online auction.

So what's Marc Ecko planning to do with it after buying a piece of baseball history online? You'll never guess what this guy aims to do with it.

Marc Ecko has set up a website that lets its visitors vote on what he should do with the 756th home run ball of the ever controversial Barry Bonds. Option A: give it to the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Option B: brand it with an asterisk before sending it to Cooperstown and Option C: blast it into space on a rocket ship.

Of course, the San Francisco Giants star is pissed. As of press time, he is still denying that he used steroids en route to a career 756 home runs. And as far as Marc Ecko is concerned, Bonds thinks Ecko is just plain stupid.

''All of those options don't weigh anything,'' Barry Bonds said. ''In baseball, that number (756) stands.'' Bonds thought Ecko could've found a better way to spend $752,467. As expected, Bonds though what Ecko is doing isn't.

''He's stupid. He's an idiot. He spent $750,000 on the ball and that's what he's doing with it? What he's doing is stupid.''

Marc Ecko said he will announce what he will do to Bonds' No.756 baseball after the voting ends on September 25.

2007 NCAA College Football Week 4 Betting Picks

Week 4 of the college football season will have huge games on Saturday. Of course, the favorites to win the BCS title will be on display too.

Let's start with the defending champions, Florida Gators. The Gators take on the Mississippi Rebels for a Week 4 face-off in the 2007 NCAA college football season. The Gators are still perfect and I don't see any reason why they won't remain perfect after Saturday.

The 3-0 Florida Gators have a high-powered offense engineered by head coach Urban Meyer. His offense is one of the best in the nation and having a defense which is as good makes them on helluva' football team.

The Gator offense, last Saturday, simply crushed Tennessee when they racked up a season-high 554 yards en route to a 59-20 win. That's the school's highest point total in a conference game since they destroyed Kentucky, 59-31, seven years ago.

The Florida Gators are riding high with momentum and the Mississippi Rebels won't have a chance come game time. Pick the Gators to win -13.5.

Next up are the LSU Tigers, the No.2 ranked team in the nation. They take on the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday in a game of two undefeated teams. One team has to lose and I reckon it'll be the Gamecocks.

The LSU Tigers will be looking to get their first 11-game winning streak since doing it back in the 1971-72 season. LSU holds a commanding 14-2-1 edge in their all-time series with the South Carolina Gamecocks and the last time they lost to South Carolina was way back in 1994. They lost that game by just a single point.

Take the LSU Tigers to win -13.5.

Last but not the least, the powerhouse USC Trojans team take on the Washington State Cougars in a Pac-10 face-off that will officially kick off the Trojans' quest for a sixth straight conference title.

Many doubted whether these USC Trojans were indeed the No.1 ranked team of the nation this season. Their lopsided win last weekend put that one to rest for sure and if you're betting against USC on Saturday, you might as well give away whatever amount you're willing to wager.

Pick them Trojans to win -20.5 on Saturday.

Who will win the 2008 BCS national championship in NCAA college football? AcesAce sportsbook has the odds.

Florida Gators +500

Ohio State Buckeyes +2500

Fernando Alonso continues to alienate himself from McLaren - Mercedes this 2007 F1 Season

Before anything else, I must state that Fernando Alonso is an asshole.

Now that THAT is out of the way, the 2007 F1 season is only three legs from calling it a season and as we head down to the final three races of the year, Fernando Alonso walking away from McLaren by season's end is slowly becoming more of a possibility.

First, we found out that Fernando Alonso hesitated to represent McLaren in the recently concluded FIA hearing for the infamous ''Stepneygate scandal.'' The big names of McLaren was there, even rookie driver Lewis Hamilton. When the media found out Alonso wasn't coming, it just added controversy from what is already a very controversial time for the McLaren team.

McLaren - Mercedes big boss Ron Dennis revealed that Fernando Alonso wasn't there simply because the two-time F1 world champion turned down the team's invite, claiming he had a ''previous arrangement.''

''Alonso is not here because he does not want to be here,'' Dennis told those present at the hearing when asked why Alonso wasn't present.

''He does not speak to anyone much. He is a remarkable recluse for a driver. He is not here by choice. Moreover, he said he had other things to do by previous arrangement. I cannot force him to come. We asked him to come.''

Then, there are rumors that claim Alonso and his boss are not in speaking terms for more than a month now. Fernando Alonso still believes that the McLaren team favors his rookie teammate, Lewis Hamilton, more and thinks he doesn't get the preferential treatment he thinks he deserves.

''We are not on speaking terms, but that does not matter,'' said Ron Dennis. ''First, the relationship between Fernando and myself is extremely cold. That is an understatement.''

''In Fernando's mind, there is the firm belief that our policy, whereby each driver receives equal treatment, does not properly reflect his status as world champion.''

Alabama Crimson Tide have the Georgia Bulldogs Scared

And for good reason.

The Alabama Crimson Tide, after spending some time in college football purgatory, have finally ascended back to the Top 25 this 2007-08 NCAA college football season. Thanks of course to that guy who bamboozled basically everybody who watches this great game of football, Nick Saban.

For all ya'll who forgot already, Nick Saban, then coaching the Miami Dolphins, denied rumors that he was to sign a contract with the Alabama Crimson Tide and go back to his roots, that being college football.

For weeks, Nick Saban continued to deny the rumors that he was about to leave the Miami Dolphins as it was then, and STILL is today, in disarray without anyone bold enough to give the team some semblance of direction.

And just before the 2007-08 NCAA college football began, we found out that Nick Saban, after weeks of denying the rumors that he will sign with the Alabama Crimson Tide, signed with the Alabama Crimson Tide. He he...

Now, we see Nick Saban being able to coach a team back to the upper echelons of college football. The Alabama Crimson Tide are now ranked the No.16 team in the nation. That's the first time the Crimson Tide got back to the Top 25 since the final poll of the 2005 season.

On Saturday, the red hot Crimson Tide will play hosts to the visiting Georgia Bulldogs. Alabama hasn't been defeated yet and something tells me that nothing will change after this Saturday's game.

And the Bulldogs know that too.

Apparently, the Georgia Bulldogs are just so scared and paranoid about this Saturday's game that they're not letting anybody see them practice for Saban's boys.

''It's the Belichick rule,'' a Georgia official said. ''We've been skunked in the past. We know it because of the way some teams have reacted to our [offensive] plays in a few games. We're trying to make sure it doesn't happen again.''

Don't worry dude. Just sit back and enjoy the ass kicking you'll get in Alabama.

Luxury Sports Cars that don't drink Gasoline

Because these days, the price of gasoline is just so expensive, you're probably better off taking a damn long walk.

Now, you won't have to, THAT is if you can afford these electric-powered luxury sports cars. Oh yes, they're powered by electricity (hence the term, ''electric'' dumbass...) and although it takes some time to recharge, at least you don't have to spend your entire life savings just for one full tank of gas.

An example of these electric-powered luxury sports cars is the very stylish Venturi Fetish. And yes, this car was named that way because it looks so good, some people will probably start having a fetish for it.

Venturi Automobiles is based on Monaco, home of the most prestigious racetrack there is in motor racing. Venturi only manufactures 25 ''Fetishes'' if you will, and will cost you $400,000 for each one. The Venturi Fetish can go from 0-60 in 4.3 seconds with a maximum speed of 105 mph.

The Venturi Fetish can go for as long as 220 miles before the 100 Lithium-Ion battery packs need recharging.

Another electric-powered luxury sports car taking over the streets is the Tesla Roadster. From Tesla Motors, the Roadster is a ridiculously fast, two-seater sports car built with a frame of the Lotus Elise.

The Tesla Roadster can go from 0-60 in less than four goddamn seconds, faster than the Venturi Fetish. It has a 200-mile range with a brilliant tech design that wires together about 7,000 rechargeable lithium batteries.

The Tesla Roadster, like most of the cars in it's class, costs a fortune. However, Tesla Motors claim that the high $98,000 price tag for their machine should be forgiven considering that it is the first e-sports car and this is the stepping stone to a larger, more affordable, mass-produced electric car.

Now, if you still can't see the reason to buy an electric-powered machine, just go and take the goddamn bus.

2007-08 NFL Football Week 2 Betting Picks

Yep, it's Week 2 baby and we sure had a lot of things that went down already.

First, we found out that the Indianapolis Colts are still in championship form after dismantling the New Orleans Saints to kickoff the 2007-08 NFL football season. Then, we saw Denver's dramatic win over Buffalo from a last second field goal overshadowed by the horrible spinal injury to Bills tight end Kevin Everett. And who can forget that spying cameraman the Patriots had monitoring the Jets?

Yep, all of that happened in Week 1. And as we prepare for Week 2 of the 2007-08 NFL football season, we can expect more of the same stuff. Hell, Terrell Owens hasn't even started talking yet.

Our Week 2 betting picks thing begins with the most valuable team in the NFL, according to Forbes magazine anyway, Dallas Cowboys, taking on the Miami Dolphins at Dolphin Stadium.

Tony Romo sure looked like he's ready to put that botched field goal try from last season's playoffs behind him and become Dallas' next great quarterback. Well, at least he looked the part against the New York Giants from Week 1. They have the Miami Dolphins next and although new Dolphins quarterback Trent Green should be reason enough to be hopeful in Florida, losing to a pathetic team like the Washington Redskins to start the season isn't.

Expect Tony Romo to do more of the same things he did against the Giants and simply molest the Dolphin D. Well, not by much but the Cowboys will still win -6.5.

Sunday night football will feature a rematch of last season's classic AFC divisional match-up, the San Diego Chargers and the New England Patriots. This game should be the match-up of the week as far as I'm concerned.

In case you forgot already, the New England Patriots celebrated in the middle of the Chargers' field after eliminating San Diego from last season's AFC divisional playoffs. Understandably, the rest of the San Diego Chargers were irritated, specifically, the Chargers' ridiculously talented running back LaDainian Tomlinson.

And judging by the way these Chargers negated any offense the Chicago Bears were able to muster last week, letting them score a measly three points, I expect the Chargers to win this game -6.5, over the New England Patriots. Oh yeah, Bill Belichick's spying cameras won't be available for this game.

Week 2 of the 2007-08 NFL football season culminates on Monday night at Lincoln Financial Field where the Philadelphia Eagles play hosts to the Washington Redskins. The Redskins were able to pull off a fast one over the Miami Dolphins last Sunday although that game doesn't necessarily make them one of the elite teams in football already.

The Philadelphia Eagles, on the other hand, ALMOST got the win over the Green Bay Packers last week if it wasn't for Mason Crosby knocking down a 42-yard field goal attempt to give Wisconsin something to cheer about.

It's Monday night football, the highlight of regular season football games any given week. And although both the Washington Redskins and the Philadelphia Eagles simply suck balls, one WILL accidentally win this one and I'm picking the Eagles -2.5. Oh yeah, if the Eagles can't beat Washington, their fans won't let these Redskins out of the goddamn stadium.

Here are the rest of them picks.

Pittsburgh Steelers over the Buffalo Bills -13.5.

Cincinnati Bengals over the Cleveland Browns -6.5.

Indianapolis Colts over the Tennessee Titans -13.5.

Carolina Panthers over the Houston Texans -6.5.

St. Louis Rams over the San Francisco 49ers -2.5.

Green Bay Packers over the New York Giants -6.5.

Jacksonville Jaguars over the Atlanta Falcons -2.5.

New Orleans Saints over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -13.5.

Minnesota Vikings over the Detroit Lions -2.5.

Seattle Seahawks over the Arizona Cardinals -6.5.

Baltimore Ravens over the New York Jets -13.5.

Denver Broncos over the Oakland Raiders (... does it matter by how much?)

Chicago Bears over the Kansas City Chiefs -6.5.

There you go, your Week 2 betting picks. As always, good luck folks.

Can Wayne Rooney, David Beckham and Frank Lampard play for England in Euro 2008 Qualifiers?

Right know, all three guys are down and out.

Surprisingly though, despite the fact that Wayne Rooney, David Beckham and Frank Lampard are not playing for England in the Euro 2008 qualifiers, the England team is doing just fine behind their less-heralded replacements, lifting the team up to 3-0 consecutive wins.

So what does this mean for England's power trio? Will England coach Steve McLaren realize that they don't need these three huge egos after all to conquer the Euro 2008 qualifiers? If that's the case, then all of these egomaniacs thinking they're God's gift to England football should worry.

With his star players missing, England head coach Steve McClaren ignored more predictable replacements and brought in more virtual unknowns like Gareth Barry, Emile Heskey and Shaun Wright-Phillips.

He was rewarded by consecutive wins at Wembley that revived England's chances of reaching next year's tournament, and his chances of keeping his job.

McLaren tried to combine all of his powerhouse players into the England contingent and failed to win games, miserably. Now that some of them are gone, McLaren came up with what appears to be a stronger team that wins games in streaking fashion. Go figure.

Meanwhile, as good as England has been without their star players, Italy is under pressure to qualify for Euro 2008 after Scotland, of all teams, pulled away with a surprising win over France.

Scotland now has 21 points to lead Group B while Italy sits second with 20. France sits on third with 19 points, probably looking to just head-butt an Italian to the ground.

So, will JaMarcus Russell start for the Raiders now?

In case you didn't know it yet, the Oakland Raiders finally reached an agreement with JaMarcus Russell.

Coming to the 2007-08 NFL football season, the Oakland Raiders and their overall No.1 draft pick, JaMarcus Russell, can't seem to agree on a contract that will have the former LSU standout playing for the Silver and Black and at least bring back some dignity to a team that just keeps on fucking up.

Well, JaMarcus Russell finally agreed on a contract offered by the team that drafted him Monday, a contract that will see Russell playing for the Oakland Raiders in the next six years.

Some say that the said contract was spewed out from a four-day negotiation marathon with a maximum value of $68 million. It also includes a $34.5 million guarantee in the first three years, that's a 65 percent increase of what Houston Texans defensive end Mario Williams will be making during the first three years of his contract.

Mario Williams was the overall No.1 draft pick last season.

Oh yeah, did I mention that JaMarcus Russell will also have a $3 million guarantee in the fourth season of his contract? Jeezus... It's getting crazy now. Hopefully, Russell turns out to be worth every single penny.

The former LSU Tigers quarterback had one of the longest holdouts in recent history by an NFL rookie. Bryant McKinnie, in 2002, missed the first eight games of the regular season because of similar reasons.

The Minnesota Vikings made the mistake of drafting him that year.

As far as overall No.1 draft picks are concerned, no one has ever held out on his contract longer than JaMarcus Russell since Bo Jackson refused to sign with Tampa Bay back in '86.

Discreet Cat, preparing for 2007 Breeders' Cup discreetly

Yes, the 2007 Breeders' Cup is merely a few more weeks away.

And I guess if you just don't give a damn about the coming 2007 Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships, (like yours truly...) then October 26 and 27 will mean nothing more to you but Week 8 of the 2007-08 NFL football season.

For the rest of you who'll just bet on anything for the sake of making a wager, then I guess the 2007 Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships is just one of them sporting events you'll certainly be preparing for.

One horse preparing for the coming Breeders' Cup is Discreet Cat.

The four-year-old colt is reported to be back to form after recovering from a throat abscess that virtually cost him the Dubai World Cup at Nad Al Sheba. (Hell, if throat injuries won't get you, surely, the Moslem terrorists there will...)

Discreet Cat's loss in the Dubai World Cup is the colt's first loss in seven starts. Now, it seems the colt and its people (yes, horses have an entourage in horse racing...) are ready to put the Dubai World Cup behind them and get ready for the coming 2007 Breeders' Cup.

''We gave him plenty of time after the World Cup. He's doing well and he's back in training,'' trainer Saeed bin Suroor said. ''He looks happier now with age. He is stronger physically and mentally. The plan is to run him on September 30 in a six-furlong race at Belmont.''

''He has always shown plenty of speed, but when he is settled and relaxed you can take him to a mile and further. He has the three options in the Breeders' Cup, but we will see how he runs first. I am really happy with him and he has been finishing his work well.''

Ohio State Buckeyes face Washington Huskies Saturday

And after ending Boise State's winning streak to 14, the Huskies are probably hoping they'll have more than just punts against the Buckeyes.

Rightfully so, because the last time the Ohio State Buckeyes were in the field this 2007-08 NCAA college football season, they did not give their opponents anything other than punts.

Yep, the Ohio State Buckeyes sure were a tough nut to crack last Saturday when they hosted the Akron Zips. And just because Ohio State's rivals then have ''Zips'' for a moniker, the Buckeyes simply ZIPPED their rivals' offense for them.

The Akron Zips were unable to do anything against the Ohio State defense other than punt the ball, punt it again and punt it some more. The Zips could only come up with 71 yards on offense, scoring only two points in the very first quarter from a safety play before going scoreless for the rest of the game.

For what it's worth, the Akron Zips kinda' knew what was coming heading to this one. Hell, they are facing one of two finalists who played in last season's BCS championship game. What they didn't count on was how bad they lost.

''We're young and inexperienced and we're playing against one of the better front sevens in the country,'' Akron Zips head coach J.D. Brookhart said. ''We knew we'd struggle, but not that badly.''

For what it's worth, the Akron Zips did have their name on the NCAA college football history books. Akron's punter, John Stec, set a school record of most punts in a game after what has been an utter annihilation of their offense.

''I punted more than I did my entire senior season of high school,'' John Stec said. ''I think I punted 10 times that season.''

This Ohio State Buckeyes team will be visiting the Washington Huskies next. The Huskies, like the Buckeyes, haven't dropped a single game in this 2007-08 NCAA college football season yet.

And if they can come up with an upset win again Saturday like the one they had against the No.22 ranked Boise State Broncos, they just might have something against the Buckeyes other than punts.

I still wouldn't bet on it though.

We saw this coming, New England Patriots, Penalized in the 2007-08 NFL Football Season for Spying

Yep, somehow, this sort of thing only happens to teams who don't have a chance whatsoever winning games.

Which makes you wonder why the New England Patriots had to resort to this to start the 2007-08 NFL football season. In case you missed it, the Patriots had a cameraman spying on the New York Jets defensive coaches, of course, the Pats won convincingly, 38-14.

As a result, the NFL fined the New England Patriots $250,000 and if for some reason they fail to make the playoffs, they will also forfeit their second and third round 2008 draft picks.

Although NFL commissioner Roger Goodell does not believe the New England Patriots owner, Robert Kraft, had something to do with the spying scandal, he penalized the team anyway just because Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has ''substantial control over all aspects of New England's football operations.''

And probably because Goodell, along with everybody else, just plain hates the guy.

''I specifically considered whether to impose a suspension on Coach Belichick,'' NFL commissioner Roger Goodell wrote. ''I have determined not to do so, largely because I believe that the discipline I am imposing of a maximum fine and forfeiture of a first-round draft choice, or multiple draft choices, is in fact more significant and long-lasting, and therefore more effective, than a suspension.''

The rather personal vendetta against the New England Patriots head coach is the harshest punishment ever handed down to an NFL football head coach.

It is a clear rebuke to a coach who, after winning three Super Bowl titles in the last six years and considered as one of the best coaches in the game, generated a lot of detractors because of his rather aloof lifestyle.

You just know these Patriots will get their asses creamed for sure having the tough San Diego Chargers next. Although I'll still be rooting for them Patriots because of my boy Randy Moss.

No Rest at the Spa in F1 with 2007 Belgian Grand Prix

Yes, all of the best F1 drivers in the world will be at the Spa this weekend. And no, they're not looking for a Swedish massage.

The 2007 F1 season resumes this Sunday as the Spa-Francorchamps circuit returns to Formula One after a one-year hiatus from enduring all them skid marks. Yep, the Spa is back as this year's race for the title resumes in Belgium.

And heading to the 2007 Belgian Grand Prix, amidst all the controversies surrounding these guys lately, McLaren - Mercedes drivers Lewis Hamilton and two-time F1 world champion Fernando Alonso will be looking to lead the drivers' title race.

Lewis Hamilton currently has 92 championship points, holding a small three-point advantage over his two-time world champion teammate Fernando Alonso, who has 89. These two McLaren drivers haven't been the best of friends as the season winds down and you just know, with only four more races to go, that they'll be going all out to win the title. (And probably to screw each other too...)

Hamilton, for one, knows what's at stake with only four more races to go. And even though the season will be going down the wire, Hamilton claims he doesn't feel any pressure at all heading to the 2007 Belgian Grand Prix.

''The situation in both championships is very close, and people keep talking about pressure, but it just provides me with extra motivation, I certainly don't feel any stress. There are four races to go, including Belgium, and I will take them all individually and do my best to try and win them,'' Lewis Hamilton said.

And while Lewis Hamilton is looking forward to winning the 2007 Belgium Grand Prix, his McLaren - Mercedes counterpart, Fernando Alonso, claims that the Spa is just like Monza, where he simply dominated from start to finish. Yes, in case you're wondering, Alonso thinks he will dominate in Belgium too.

''Last weekend in Italy was a special result for me and the team. The car was really fast and we are working to take that performance to Spa. There are some similar characteristics between Spa and Monza, as both demand a lot of power, so hopefully we will carry that over and be quick,'' Fernando Alonso said.

Wayne Rooney practices with Manchester United

Yep, he's back. And although a return to the pitch is still unlikely, Rooney practicing again should be enough reason for Man-U fans to smile.

Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that Wayne Rooney, his prized Manchester United striker, is back to training after suffering a foot injury against Reading to kick off the 2007 English Premiere League season a few weeks ago.

Yep, in case you missed it, Wayne Rooney was hit by the injury bug when Manchester United was playing against Reading for their very first game of the season.

And it definitely looked like it was one huge blow to Fergie's boys too as Manchester United failed to lord over the season's standings, even falling behind city rivals Manchester City, who is in the fifth spot while Man-U settled for sixth.

In case you're wondering, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea FC still are among the top four of the 2007 English Premiere League season while Everton took the place of the struggling Red Devils.

For what it's worth, Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is happy to see Wayne Rooney training. Hell, this guy can use any semblance of hope after a rather humbling start to the English Premiership season.

''He's training, which is good,'' Sir Alex Ferguson said. ''I'd not have brought him back to training unless he was ready. The latest scan was good and I'm pleased with that.''

''We have to wait and see how his fitness is.''

Manchester United will be taking on Everton this Saturday and although Wayne Rooney will probably remain on the bench for this weekend's fixture, his presence alone should be enough reason to motivate the Red Devils to win this game.

Hell, they need it.

Here are the odds from Bodog on who will win the 2007-08 English Premiere League title.

Manchester United +150

Can the Little Giants of the NFL be BIG for New York?

If you're familiar with that movie a few years back about some kids calling themselves the ''little Giants,'' Eli's team is exactly that.

With a name like the New York Giants, this ''other'' pro football team in NYC is anything BUT a giant. Heck, these guys SUCK so bad last year that people are already expecting them to fail even before they start the 2007-08 NFL football season.

Bad huh? Well, for what it's worth, at least there's one guy who is giving the New York Giants one more chance and that's defensive end Michael Strahan. Strahan finally ended his five-week long holdout that may have cost him more than $500,000 in fines.

After not playing the entire four-game preseason, it definitely looks like the 35-year-old Michael Strahan is ready to play the 2007-08 NFL football season now despite flirting with retirement a few months ago.

The New York Giants would need him too, with the way their young quarterback, Eli Manning, has played so far with the team for the past few years.

''Obviously, we are glad that Michael is back, that he wants to be back and that he wants to continue his playing career,'' New York Giants general manager Jerry Reese said. ''As I have stated several times since the beginning of training camp, Michael Strahan is a Hall of Fame player and we are a stronger team with him.''

The New York Giants will kick off their brand new 2007-08 NFL football season against their rivals Dallas Cowboys at Texas Stadium on Sunday Night Football and if Michael Strahan, Eli Manning and the rest of the Little Giants from New York can pull it off this season, we'll probably get a better idea how on prime time Sunday.
