Lock It Up

I'm gonna go with Yankees over Tigers on Opening Day at Yankee Stadium. I've been to many o' Opening Days, and don't remember the Yanks losing. Hey Tigers - you're annually bad, thanks for Granderson though, how's Phil Coke working out for you?

Butler vs Uconn is going to be the Final in my opionion, but no bets on the Final Four. With the way March Madness has been going this year, I wouldn't put money near those two games.

Freak-Monster

Remember lowering the hoop down in the back yard and doing crazy dunks imagining that you were in the middle of a tense NBA contest? So does Shannon Brown of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Flawless Thoughts

If you're the guy who had VCU in your Final Four -Marty McFly called, he wants his magazine back.

How do you lose more $$$ than the Islanders, by being the Mets of course.

Notre Dame made it!!!!......to the Frozen Four.

When the Eagles' Jason Peters hangs out with Rick Ross, things happen.

Lock It Up

My lock of the week is Magic over Knicks tonight. The floundering Knicks will have no answer for Dwight Howard and his legion of 3-pt shooters, NY will be exhausted from defending in the post then running out to attempt blocking the open shooters. Besides don't the Bockers need to decide who's Mario and who's Luigi?

No bets on Nets vs Cavs, while the Cavs are eliminated from the playoffs (big surprise), the Nets still have a long shot chance to get there and the motivation from that possibility should get them past the "cursed" Cleveland team, though the Nets have been atrocious this year and I could see the Cavs somehow winning.

Freak-Monster

Andrew Bynum is a Freak-Monster and in the NHL this would have led to a great American/Canadian past time called, "the hockey fight", but in the NBA the offending player gets a "flagrant two". I can just hear George Carlin now.

Things Learned This Weekend

"I thought it was flax-seed oil" is the new "I didn't inhale". It's trial time Bonds.

Now that the Knicks have lost a bunch of games, there better be HEAT on their superstars.

Feeling remorseful for stealing something from Pete Sampras? - Just drop it off at an LA hospital.

Hey NFL, I was watching 3 NCAA games at once via March Madness on-demand - ipad, laptop, tv, it was free and it was spectacular! #justsayin

Lock It Up

My lock of the week is Gonzaga over St Johns in NCAA tournament action tonight. With Gonzaga's nine game win streak on their way into the tourney, I think they'll have the hot hands.

No bets on Butler vs Old Dominion. Butler should have a chip on their shoulder after losing in the championship game, but Old Dominion is always exciting and stays involved late in games in the tourney. OK, maybe they're not always exciting, but they did have that one-point upset of ND last year.
