Your High School Play Of The Week

Quality Start

My 29th professional basketball season got underway last night and I released one selection, a Four Star. The Four Star was Boston over the total. WINNER. I'm just saying.

The membership fee for service through the NCAA Final is only $895 - that's hundreds lower than the service fee we've had over the last 15 years. You can join us by selecting from the handy drop-down menu to the right. You'll receive our Executive Selections and all the plays from the services we monitor.

I've released three selections that were rated a Four or a Five Star the last four days - without any fanfare and won them all.

The World Series gets underway tonight and I'm looking forward to having another series win. I've correctly predicted the winners for all six MLB Postseason series so far this season.

Angels over Red Sox
Dodgers over Cardinals
Phillies over Rockies
Yankees over Twins
Phillies over Dodgers
Yankees over Angels

My side and total selections are 14-3 for the 2009 MLB playoffs for a total Postseason record of 20-3 for the Playoffs. I could not have asked for that good fortune. I'm happy to take credit for it though.

My World Series Selection went out to Private Play members this morning. Hopefully, these games will keep going our way. I'm betting they do.

Great Week Of Football - Eight Wins, Three Losses

It was great to put up a great football week this past weekend. We got out to a quality start on Wednesday with a one unit winner on UTEP. Our College Executive Selection came in at 5-2 against the pointspread and we won both top plays. Our top plays were a five star on UNLV and a four star on Air Force. Both were easy covers throughout. Of the two college losses, one was Michigan State who lost on the last second touchdown from Iowa State.

Our NFL Executive Selections came in at 3-1 against the pointspread. Sunday - Our three unit selection was Indianapolis, our two unit selection was Pittsburgh and the loss was a one unit play on the New York Giants. Last night on Monday Night Football, we closed out with a two unit play on Philadelphia.

Pigeon Covers Kickoff

I'm going to venture that most of you were surprised to see the Oakland Raiders beat the Philadelphia Eagles over the weekend. However, you will probably be even more surprised that Raiders got a little help from a pigeon.

During the 4th quarter, the Raiders were kicking off after a Sebastian Janikowski field goal and a pigeon had wandered onto the field.

The even more surprising thing is that he helped the Raiders on that kickoff coverage by flying down the field with the kick-off team. Fox broadcasters Sam Rosen and Tim Ryan were in stitches in the booth after seeing the replay.

The pigeon was not available for comment after the game but I have feeling Al Davis was signing him to a three-year deal with a birdseed option for the fourth.

Vandal-ized

From the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper
MOSCOW, Idaho —

In the hangar-shaped Kibbie Dome, the Hawai'i football was disassembled.

The Warriors not only lost to rejuvenated Idaho — 35-23, in part because of DeMaundray Woolridge's four touchdown rushes — but they also lost wideout Rodney Bradley to a season-ending broken leg.

And, after suffering their fourth consecutive defeat, they appear to have lost their way.

"It's embarrassing to our program," said Blaze Soares, a senior linebacker. "Losing to these guys, it sucks. I never lost to them throughout my career. To lose to them my senior year, it's just an embarrassment."

Two For Tuesday - Ball Handling

Here’s Dre’ Bly playing for the San Francisco 49ers jumping a route against Atlanta but dude decided to showboat before successfully eluding capture. With the Falcons comfortably ahead 35-10 and driving in the third quarter of their game on Sunday against the 49ers, San Francisco cornerback Dre’ Bly intercepted Matt Ryan for what looked like a momentum-turning play. But no. Watch Dre’ Bly cup his hand to his ear, a la NFL great and de facto NCAA agent Deion Sanders. Do you hear that, Dre’? That’s the sound of failure.

Here's how you handle a ball.


Yep, you'll be sharing this video.

Worst Fans In Sports

The city of Boston and its legions of allegedly fairweather sports fans received a long-overdue kick in the balls yesterday. Not long after New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady underthrew his team to a loss in Denver, Boston Red Sox reliever Jonathan Papelbon was doing the exact same thing in Fenway Park. Or maybe it was just before. Anyway, The Los Angeles Angels – down to their last strike in the game WITH NOBODY ON BASE – toppled the BoSox to win their American League Division Series yesterday, 7-6, in front of a stunned crowd. It was my pleasure to see my Angels ruin the day for Boston whose fans forgot/failed to give their pitcher even a polite golf applause. Epic fail. Go Angels.

There are too many reason to dislike Boston, hell, Massachusetts for that matter. They absolutely skewered Bill Buckner for his fielding gaffe in Game 6 of the 1986 World series.

Buckner was a wonderful ballplayer and a really decent guy. He collected 2,715 hits in his career. In 1986, he was one of the best hitters on the team. He smacked 18 home runs, collected 102 RBI and was the club's top slugger in September.

Yet after he misplayed a Mookie Wilson ground ball in the final inning of that tragic Game 6 loss, Boston fans were so cruel to Buckner that he had to flee the city. Fans have recently tried to reinvent history and claim that they never blamed Buckner. Don't believe it. They crucified the guy. He had to move to Idaho, for God's Sake! Way to stick by your players, BoSox fans.

Yeah, baseball fans sure have been asked to eat a lot of crap over the past few years when it comes to the Red Sox faithful. Which was okay for a while. Some of these people had indeed suffered a lot before the 2004 postseason. But the grace period is now officially over. It's time to judge Boston Red Sox fans by the harsh light of day. They're terrible.

Now, the Boston fans can cheer for the Angels, who will beat the Evil Empire.

NFL Guest Handicapper

Fresno State versus Hawaii

One of my favorite places to see a college football game is at Fresno State. Bulldog Stadium is a real treat and I enjoy parking my car just a short walk away from the stadium on the lawn of a very friendly frat house. They always insist on doing a shot of tequila with their visitors. This frat house has all the residents put their sound system speakers facing outwards in the windows on game day. It's wild. The tailgating at a Fresno State game and the atmosphere is as enjoyable as you'll ever encounter. I watch this program closely and look forward to my next visit to Fresno.

Here's what I know about the 2009 Bulldogs. They took Wisconsin to two overtimes at Wisconsin. They looked decent against 10th ranked Boise State while out rushing and out gaining the Broncos. They held onto the ball for three quarters against Cincinnati and managed to lose that game. They want a win tonight and they want a convincing win.

I'm looking for Fresno's Ryan Mathews to run all over the field tonight. Matthews ranks second in the nation with an average of 148 yards per game and is registering close to seven yards per carry. Hawaii allowed 352 yards rushing last week in a 27-6 loss to Louisiana Tech and is ranked 102nd (out of 120 teams) nationally in run defense. The Warriors' usually potent pass offense was limp last week, too. Hawaii failed to produce a touchdown for the first time in 62 games. Meanwhile - things got worse. Hawaii will be without their star Quarterback Greg Alexander. Hawaii will be using their third string quarterback since their 2nd string fractured a finger. So, in comes Bryant Moniz a native Hawaiian and former quarterback at Fresno City College. Basically, a junior college RESERVE walk on quarterback. In 2007, Moniz was taking backup snaps behind heralded but troubled (think criminal) transfer Derek Shaw at Fresno City College. Then just weeks before the season opener, Shaw was suspended for walking out of practice, and Moniz was thrust into the starting role. Moniz left Fresno City after one year and moved back to the island, where he enrolled in a local community college but didn't play football last season. Yep - A junior college backup. Now, he's taking snaps for Hawaii. Fresno State will be going after him.

Hawaii won in overtime at Fresno last year in a very bitter contest and I'll expect Fresno State to return the favor. I'm betting on Fresno State to win and cover against a short-handed Hawaii squad.

Fresno State -10.5
over
Hawaii

................................

Editor Note: Sunday 5:20 am

Final Score

Fresno State 42
Hawaii 17

...and it wasn't even that close. Fresno State took a 42-3 lead into the fourth quarter before calling off the Bulldogs.

Sports Monitor's Executive Selections went 7-2 against the pointspread for the college week and Fresno State was the highest rated play I released to the members - a Four unit win.

I'm not sure how many other professional handicappers looked into the background of Hawaii's starting quarterback to the degree I did. Makes it look easy, doesn't it? Wish it was that easy every week.

You got it free here, just by looking in. How about that?

In this spot yesterday, I predicted that the Las Vegas Locomotives would win by two touchdowns over the California Redwoods.

Final score:
Las Vegas 30
California 17

Just saying.

Spray Hitting To All Fields

If you've missed this:
The United Football League season opener is tonight.

The Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League have been installed as a 7-point favorite against the California Redwoods in their inaugural game Thursday at Sam Boyd Stadium, according to odds at the Las Vegas Hilton sports book. If you're curious - good seats are still available.

The game is televised by VERSUS. Beginning October 8, VERSUS will bring viewers a UFL Game of the Week leading up to the UFL Championship game on November 27. How about that?

The Locos are -300 on the money line, and the game has a total of 40 points. In first-half wagering, the Locos are a 4-point favorite and the over/under is 20 points.

In a Saturday UFL game, the Florida Tuskers are a 4 point favorite against the New York Sentinels (-175 on the money line) in a game with an total of 40. In first-half wagering, it's the Tuskers -2.5 and an over/under of 20, according to Hilton lines.

Another wild finish to a high school football game.

Memo to defense - It's a live ball.

.............................................................................
Las Vegas Locomotives -7 points
over
California Redwoods

I was comped into this event - still, that did not tempt me to go, but after further review, I'm curious to see the spectacle - a new league --- so, of course, I had to make a wager on it. So, I looked into this contest and found something so that I could rationalize the wager to myself.

Here's my angle. Former NFL coach Dennis Green is coaching the California Redwoods -- and if that's not reason enough... The California Redwoods are owned by Paul Pelosi. Yep, that Paul Pelosi, as in Mister Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives. I'm looking for the Jim Fassel coached Las Vegas Loco's and quarterback J.P. Losman to win by two touchdowns over California here in Las Vegas tonight. Locomotives coach Jim Fassel wants to showcase Losman's talent and experience and play the sort of exciting, wide-open offense that Fassel oversaw when he coached John Elway at Stanford.

When Fans Attack

Sometimes, you just need to hit the referee with a chair.

Gunslinger Jeans

I'm pretty sure that most of you are completely Brett Favre'd out from the Vikings Monday night win. However, ESPN Sportsnation decided to dedicate the entire day to mister Favre and break a world record of the most times Brett Favre was said during an hour show.

One of the skits was a parody of Brett Favre's Wrangler jeans commercials (seen below) called "Gunslinger Jeans" where Sportsnation host Michelle Beadle showed us that anyone can play like Brett Favre.

Well, at least, get sacked like Favre.

Your College Football Hit Of The Week

There are many categories of big hits…there’s the De-Cleater, the Boom, Bitch, the Decapitator, etc…

This one? This one clearly falls into the category of “we actually play defense here, pussy.”

Betting On Mark Martin

There's a bit of everything going on in the wide world of sports today. The National Hockey League is taking the day off ( yep, the 2009-10 season is underway) and NASCAR is in the middle of their playoffs. That's got some of my attention today.

Mark Martin won this race in 2005 and he's got the best piece under him in years. That win was in a Roush machine Today, Mark Martin takes to the track with Hendrick Motorsports power. Mark Martin's team has brought the same car (chassis No. 527) that went to Victory Lane at Darlington and Chicagoland.

Mark Martin is one of the top performers on similar tracks this season. Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch and Mark Martin are the only drivers that have led more than 200 laps on 1.5-mile tracks. Based off 1.5-mile tracks: Las Vegas, Atlanta, Texas, Lowe's and Chicago.

Mark had an awesome Happy Hour practice when he posted the second fastest times on the track finishing just behind team mate Jimmy Johnson. Then, Mark went out and posted a lightening fast qualifying time and took the pole. His car's bad fast and I'll look for him to win the race and I'm going to bet on Mark Martin against any driver that he's matched up against on the betting matrix today.

The Price Chopper 400 will take the green flag on Sunday at 2:15 pm (ET).

My other head-to-head matchup wagers are:

T STEWART over G BIFFLE

JP MONTOYA over B VICKERS

M KENSETH over K HARVICK

M KENSETH over K KAHNE

T STEWART over B VICKERS

The Fremont Cannon

UNLV versus NEVADA
The most expensive and the heaviest trophy in sports will be fought for between the South and the North today. The most important game in the great State of Nevada each year.


Q: How does the Nevada Wolfpack count to 10?
A: 0-1, 0-2, 0-3, 0-4, .....

Q: How does a Nevada cheerleader turn on the lights after having sex?
A: She opens the car door.

Q: How do you keep the Nevada Wolfpack out of your yard?
A: Put up goalposts.

Q: What do they call duct tape in Reno?
A: Chrome.

Q: What is the difference between an Reno cheerleader and a catfish?
A: One has whiskers and smells; the other is a fish.

Q: Why did the Nevada linebacker marry a cow?
A: He had to.

Q: What do you get when you put 32 Nevada cheerleaders in the same room?
A: A full set of teeth.

Q: How do you get a Nevada cheerleader out of your dorm room?
A: Grease her hips and push.

Q: How do you get a Nevada graduate off your porch?
A: Pay him for the pizza.

Q: Why did Nevada replace the Mackay Stadium grass with astroturf?
A: To keep the Reno Wolfpack cheerleaders from grazing during games.

The Wolf Pack should get pumped for this game -- It's all they have to look forward to each calandar year in the cowtown of Reno. The Rebels play in a tougher conference, against tougher teams and have more important games every year. The next game Nevada is looking forward to is a slaughtering in Boise. So yes, it’s a big game for them and the in-state rivalry just adds to that. UNR and their student body should get up for this game, but UNLV will put them right back to sleep.

Best Prediction Ever

Prior to Sunday's game between the Seattle Mariners and the Toronto Blue Jays, Mike Blowers, along with other members of the Mariners broadcast team made their picks for player of the game. With the season winding down, Blowers decided to go with a long shot and choose rookie call up Matt Tuiasosopo. If that wasn't enough, Blowers also got into a little more detail when he said the youngster would hit his first career home run into the upper deck during his second at bat on a 3-1 count, and the pitch would be a fastball.

Amazingly, Blowers hit the nail on the head. Fifth inning, second at bat, 3-1 count, fastball, second deck home run. It was truly amazing and the call was even better as you can hear the broadcasters begin to laugh when the count reached 3-1. As the ball was hit, it sounds as though they nearly exploded out of their seats, and you can't blame them one bit.
