Every year on Selection Sunday, the only thing more entertaining than filling out a bracket and incessantly staring at it is incessantly staring at the lines which get posted at some books as early as just a few hours after the Selection Show. Needless to say, this year was no different in WiseGuyAction's humble bungalow. My ...

After watching the spectacular gold medal game between the U.S. and Canada, one distinct thought stood out in my mind. Forget the fact that I just witnessed the most exciting and most dramatic hockey game I had ever seen. Who cares that I played the under 5.5 goals on a whim and won even though I don't ...

It's just plain wrong Boise State and Ball State can go undefeated, win their respective conferences, and not get into the BCS. What makes it ironic is it'll be another undefeated non-BCS team (Utah) that's taking their place.
Once again, we've learned exactly what makes the BCS so shitty. Instead of ...

Record through week nine: 96-40, 65-66-5 ATS
12pm ET
West Virginia (5-2) at (25) UConn (6-2) (+3.5)
I feel terrible for UConn. They really did have a shot at something special, but they're just not the same without their quarterback. Hence their being home dogs against an unranked team. Worse for them, West ...

Afternoon, all. Okay, okay, so it's not the crack of noon, it's more like one, but at least I'm up. Can't believe I have to wait seven hours before IU plays tonight.
All the early games are still close, and Georgia Tech just fumbled, so things aren't looking good so far. ...

So I'm playing a buddy Week 1 in fantasy football, and we decide to make the opener a little more interesting with a $20 side bet. Then with our appetite whetted, we decide to add another log on the fire.
I bet him Justin Fargas (my guy) gets 20 touches in ...

Remember when Charles Barkley made news for failing to pay the Wynn Las Vegas casino somewhere around $400,000? Well, he repaid the money and then went all noble, swearing off gambling for "the next year or two."Well, that year or two went pretty quickly.Barkley is headed back to Sin City ...
