Screw Bicycle Racing

Vid O' The Day




53 years ago today, Jackie Robinson signed a contract to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers, thereby paving the way to him becoming the first Black man to play in the major leagues (African Americans hadn't been invented yet). In honor of The Man, here's some good old baseball footage to carry us over at least until Spring Training starts. One of the all time greats, here's to you, Jackie Robinson!


Pic O' The Day


"How's MY ass taste, Shaq?"

Rajon Rondo celebrated the beginning of his 24th year on planet earth with a 32 point 10 assist effort, as the Celtics pounded Phoenix 128-108 on Sunday. Rajon also added 6 points and 3 steals, and the Suns three game streak of scoring 140+ points went the way of Terry Porter.


Pick O' The Day

Yeah, a big bike race came through town yesterday, and excitement abounded. What a friggin stupid sport. Lance Armstrong spent the day blocking out guys and protecting his teammate, some German guy, and came in seventh overall. The German guy won. This whole team racing concept is a bit stupid to me, here you have arguably (?) the greatest cyclist who ever lived and he can't even get cut loose to race. Way too much sportsmanship involved in this for me, thankfully I didn't get a bet down.

There's not a lot of action tonight, one NHL game and less than a dozen NBA/NCAA games combined. Let's combo up Indiana +260 to win at NY along with Louisville giving away 2 points to Georgetown at -110. We'll put $100 down, and cover it with Indiana +7 at -110 for another $100. The first bet will pay $687, the cover bet on the Pacers will return $191, for a possible total of $878. Let's kick this week off with a nice payday!

Streak: Lost 1
Overall: 3-9
Cash Available: $258
