Has anybody ever heard the story about the first casino in Atlantic City? Well this new development about the Kansas City Penguins sort of applies. Back before gambling had been legalized in the state of New Jersey, one man started gambling huge before the bill went through. In a huge risk/reward move, he started building [...]
Selection Sunday is a joyous day for gamblers around the world. Even pseudo-gamblers and office poolies love to see the brackets and make their picks. It can be taken casually or super-seriously depending on the stakes of your wager. But, most of all, it’s a day that encourages fun.

It seems that New England is going in the exact opposite route that they have been for years past during this off-season period. After being over $8-million under the cap last season and staying away from giving lucrative deals, they have landed both Adalius Thomas and now Donte Stallworth this off-season. It looks like Belichick [...]
I’m sure that any regular sports fan who watches highlights will have seen Chris Simon try to take Ryan Hollweg’s head off with his stick last night during the Islanders-Rangers game but the timing couldn’t have been better (or worse; depends how you look at it). Yesterday was the three-year anniversary of Todd Bertuzzi’s assault [...]
The Ravens found their replacement for the departed Jamal Lewis and managed to fleece the Bills in the process. Buffalo will receive Baltimore’s 3rd and 7th round draft picks this year and their 3rd round pick next year.

Joey Porter – Miami Dolphins: After reading about the happenings of the South Beach area during Super Bowl [...]
The Penguins have declared that they’ve reached an impasse with Pittsburgh about building a new arena which means they’ll now “aggressively” explore relocation. Kansas City had already volunteered their brand new Sprint Center to the Penguins for next year and would let them play there rent-free. Pittsburgh has seriously dropped the ball with this whole [...]
D-Wade makes his decision
The Miami Heat’s phenom guard has decided to rehab his dislocated shoulder instead of undergoing season-ending surgery. The Heat and D-Wade are optimistic that he can be back for the play-offs and possibly propel them to another championship.
