Will the NFL get the boost it needs from it's youth?

College Football was a good thing on Saturday with a 6-2 mark with the single unit plays and a solid 2-1 with the top selections. It always amazes me when a team like Texas Tech can beat Oklahoma at Oklahoma one week and the very next week at home get blown out by Iowa State. Things like that will never make sense.

The Stanford at U.S.C game, lived up to the hype and was a sloppy game of ages. U.S.C played a great football game with Stanford able to run away with it at the end. Stanford has a really solid running game. The game against Oregon later on should be a fun affair.

The NFL is here and there are not many plays but enough to have a fun Sunday. The fun game of the week will be Ponder at Newton. I mean Minnesota at Carolina. The two young quarterbacks should put on a great show.

If the Broncos and Tebow beat the Detroit Lions this week, hopefully the Tebow haters will see that this young man is a winner. He is not a typical Quarterback and he runs to much, but a win over the Lions will show that Tebow just has IT. If the Lions lose they will be on their way to a solid 8-8 record. As a Lion lover this would be a crappy way to see that the Lions still have a long way to go.

NFL 17-17 -1.70 units

Minnesota +3.5

Miami +10

Pittsburgh +3

Dallas +3

Have a great day

The start of the NCAA football season

A new College Football season is under way and the one free play I gave out for the entire season is well on it's way to a huge win outright. You have to ask yourself, Is Lane Kifin a scumbag or does he continue to run into situations that are beyond him.

2 Days before the start of the USC season a defensive asst coach leaves for personnel reasons. Yeah right my friend. Turns out he had met with NCAA officials about recruiting violations and just how mixed up he and or coach are involved.

Lane has one year at Tennessee and after said year Tennessee gets investigated. Maybe coach did nothing wrong. Maybe it was the coach before him. NO it is Lane. This guy is very talented because no matter how much crap he causes or how much crap he leaves behind, he always gets a better or more high profile job.

Through all of it Lane and his crap has his team ranked very high. The truth is USC is a mess and no matter how much talent or media love USC has, this team will be sloppy and before the end of the season there will be other suspensions via illegal actions or academics.

I had said long ago that the Ohio State mess would get worse before it got better. The NCAA did get it wrong when 3 more Ohio State players were suspended today. The bad acts were accepting at a charity event, baskets that were given to everyone that had different products as advertising gimmick's. In this case the NCAA watch dog was out of bounds. I know the school suspended the players but they are worried about anything that looks out of sorts.

I had not been paying attention to the top 25 other then B.Y.U not being there and Notre Dame getting way to high a ranking. It turns out that Georgia and the mess that is that program are not only in the top 25, but top 20 as well being ranked 19th. I have to admit this is a bit off but the good ol boy's have to have that southern charm.

There has been shady things in College Football since College Football has been around, Now the people involved feel they must talk about it and that is the only thing that has changed. It is to bad.

In the NFL tonight, the Steelers rolled up another easy preseason win. That usually would not be big news but the Steelers had a very easy time of it in preseason. Good teams usually do not play great preseasons. What does this tell us? It tells us that the Steelers might be a very good football team. This means that the 2nd and 3rd stringers are very good football players. The one thing that does make sense, is that they were auditioning back up quarterbacks. Those in the hot seat were playing at the top of their game against the other teams back ups and the numbers could have been false. Watch out for the Pittsburgh Steelers this year.

To all of us having a great college football season.

Play as a TEAM and be a winner. Baseball plays for Tuesday 8/30/2011

Teams that do not have hitters who can hit 20 to 30 home runs in a season must do the little things perfect. When a lead off hitter gets on base, steals a base with no outs, what must the next batter do? The next hitter must lay down a bunt, hit a long fly ball or hit a grounder to the right side. Do not hit a off the plate pitch hard to the shortstop. Ok so that's one out and a runner on 2nd. Up steps the highest paid player on the team who will get paid 15-18 million a year on his next contract. Well he swings at the first pitch, which would have been a ball. 2nd pitch almost hits this batter but he is swinging. 3rd pitch goes off the plate and because the shortstop is out of position, the superstar swings at should have been ball 4. 3 pitches and all out of the strike zone. YOUR OUT. Of course the next guy swings at 2 balls and hits a long fly ball to the deepest part of the yard.

What should have happened. The 2nd hitter hits a ground ball to 2nd base and the runner goes to 3rd with one out. The Super Star takes a few pitches and works a nice walk. The 4th place hitter, who is hitting over 300 for the year. Well he hits the long fly ball and TEAM scores a run, playing team baseball.

I watch games from all over the country everyday and all players care about in to many cases is their own stats that bring the TEAM down. It is sad that unless you are a really big time player that you do not put the TEAM first.

The team I am talking about won it all last year and did all the little things right. No egos got in the way of this team doing all they could to just win. Amazingly while playing as a TEAM, the group as a whole had a decent year hitting. Nothing special but with no STARS that is the way it had to be done. Back to my point. Because of mental breakdowns and selfish players a good man and a good hitting coach will be fired. The players will get paid their millions and not give this coach a second thought.

It happens all over baseball and the teams that play as a TEAM are the teams that can shock the world.

Started with a list of 10 possible plays for this weekends college football. Getting the information I need from the people closest to some of the key players in these match ups. Will also look for line moves with or against us. Hopefully I can land on just a handful of plays that will get the season off to the right start.

I will give this Thursday play right now........Bowling Green +7.5

All other plays will be posted right after kickoff.

Have a great day

NCAA Football coming and Baseball still counts and 6 pick 4s

It is no fun when the teams at the top keep winning everyday. Milwaukee never loses, Detroit is on fire and Arizona may never lose again.

The fun part is Cleveland has gone a nice streak. Although to late for the Indians, only because Detroit is playing so well. It really does not matter what the Brewers are doing because ST Louis with all of their talent has fallen on their face. San Francisco has won 2 in a row although it is like watching paint dry or pulling teeth to score the 2 runs that they need to win a game.

The Giants one goal is to stay 3 or less games back in order to make their series against Arizona have meaning. Of course the Jim Thome story is very nice even hitting a homerun in his first game back with Cleveland. It will be a perfect time for him to retire and enjoy his exit.

Pittsburgh will have a run in them next year as I have been saying their youth will mature and that young talented pitching staff will not have the 2 weeks from hell they got to experience this year.

In the NFL, I will say it loud and proud. Watch out for the Detroit Lions! They have a superstar on defense{I always start with defense first} And have a couple of superstars on offense. The one thing that is still building is an outstanding running back, that will come with great line play.

Look out in College football for Boise State. Look for U.S.C and Arizona State to NOT live up to the media.

NCAA, NFL and the PLAYS

The football season could not come any faster. I am hanging around even all baseball season with enough days left to turn a profit but when you are one of the best in the world at something, it could not get here fast enough.

Yesterday I went over a couple of small schools that will and a big school that won't but what about the rest? The 2 teams that joined the pac 10, well they are going to have tough time and it will not be a cakewalk. The teams who have been there forever will make it tough for the nre kids on the block.

One thing is for sure, U.S,C is still a mess and all that talent will not just come and save the program. Lane Kifin has his work cut out for him and his team. Every move they make will be watched very carefully. Where Lane goes trouble seems follow.

Early in the NFL season make sure you take a look at the teams that has coaching changes or offensive changes because the players got put behind the eight ball by not getting their new playbooks until recently, it will make a difference.

As the season goes along though do not give up on those slow starting teams because once it starts to click it will be something to look for when the odds makers have given up you as a player will be ahead of the line moves.

Pittsburgh +120

Cleveland +130

Tampa Bay +100

The Drugs of the now will kill you

Methadone, Soma and Valium, A cocktail for disaster. The poor young man from Alabama had no idea just what he was dealing with. I have 6 empty discs and the surgery that has been suggested for 15 years now is full disc replacement. The recovery time is one year, the chance to never walk again is 7%.

What do I do to stay active? I take pain killers and muscle relaxers. I have tried to not take these pain relievers but doing anything at all brings tears to my eyes. My injuries started when I was a +2 handicap and headed to the PGA tour.

For me I would never take Methadone because it builds up in your system. What this means is when you take 2 then 2 more it doubles up in your system to act as 8 pills. What Methadone also does is slow your breathing.

Valium also slows you down and slows your breathing, this is not for pain as much as anxiety. Add soma to the mix and you get knocked out and your breathing slows to a stop.

A doctor knows what the interaction can do to you and I would be shocked if these drugs were given to him by a doctor.

I am in pain 24 hours a day and for me the opiets keep me awake and the soma allows me to sleep. It is also very easy to build a tolerance to these pain killers. When I first started taking these drugs, I though what a godsend. One day I ran out of a script and got a huge wake up call. It had been months on these drugs and when I didn't have any I did not know what was happening. I could not sleep and I was sweating and did not know why I could not sleep.

Withdrawl is what I was going thru and It was no fun at all. After 3 days of this I went to the hospital and they gave me a couple of things that knocked me out I was so grateful after 3 days of hell. I was thanking everyone.

These kids in College who are in pain from 2 a days and odd injuries. Will lead to taking drugs which needs to be watched by a doctor. The wrong mix will kill anyone, no matter how tough a kid in college thinks he or she is.

Have a great day

Winner Dallas and 3-0 in Baseball and OH JIM

Tuesday night was another winning day for the Sportsdevil. I gave out the Dallas Mavericks and went 3-0 in baseball with all three winners being underdogs. For those of you who emailed me thank you so much I will have another free game right here and I see 2 nice baseball plays for Wednesday.

I said a few days ago that it was the tip of the iceberg at Ohio state and lo and behold after promising the NCAA and Ohio State university that he would stay in school if he was allowed to play in the Bowl game, Terrell Pryor has announced that he is leaving school.

Pryor's attorney said he was doing this because it was in the best interest of his teammates? Look for the other 4 players to jump ship as well and hopefully they were paid as much as Pryor, with estimates being from 20,000 to 40,000 dollars.

I will bet that this is a low number, it is probably closer to 100,000 and the use of cars to any number of Ohio State players. What a shame this clean program ruined by a few stupid players. That is a stupid remark, this is a dirty program and everyone in Ohio knew about this corrupt bunch of punks.

Jim Tressel was the leader of this gang. Do not believe for a moment that Jim knew nothing of it as he called or had text messages to Pryor and his handlers while all of this was coming down on the head of this joke of a man.

168 calls and or texts to be exact.

The Auburn Tigers have got to be loving this Ohio State mess because no one is looking into their bought national championship. They paid for Cam Newton and a number of their other stars and Ohio State has everyone looking their way, what a nice thing for Ohio State to do. The scope of the NCAA will find their way to Auburn but for now they are safe.

The NCAA has to feel as though everyone is cheating with USC losing their championship this week because of Reggie Bush and at Tennessee not only was their football team tainted by one year of Lane Kifin but their basketball program laughed in the face of justice, when it came to the NCAA.
