BoDog Bookmakers, BoDog.ws: The Tigers haven't been as heavily favored as people would think thus far in the postseason. With a first-round match-up against the Yankees, Detroit wasn't getting much respect, and the more they won, the more the public thought the Yankees were a sure bet. Then they faced a very solid-looking Oakland side, where the action came in mixed on both sides, based on who was t
When the second world war started, I was a child, living in Scotland with my parents. My father had built an underground shelter, that allowed ourselves and our immediate neighbours, a place of safety during the air raids. I remember being rushed down there whenever the sirens sounded, as we lived close to the Clydeside Docks, which was a main target for the German Luftwaffe. The shelter was quite small, and dark, and very claustrophobic. To wile away the time and keep their minds off of the immediate danger, the men and women would discuss politics, as they were of different parties. The debate could get quite heated at times, but this in fact was a good thing, it shut the sounds of w
I really did: I was born in New England and came to NFL consciousness in the mid-1970s. The six-year-old version of me latched onto America's Team. Maybe it was the shiny star. Maybe it was the pretty cheerleaders. I was a Roger Staubach fanatic. I freaked out when Jackie Smith dropped the TD pass in the Super Bowl. I cried about Danny White's futility. I loathe The Catch. I reveled in the Jimmy Johnson resurgence, and actually lived in Texas for the three-Super-Bowls-in-four-years. I suffered through the late '90s.
But I don't root for Dallas much anymore. Part of it is being a columnist; it gets harder and harder to choose sides. But part of it is the team's 2006 edition. It is officially insufferable.
I like Bill Parcells. Obviously, I didn't like him much when he was coach of the Giants, but I respected him. When he coached the Patriots, my favorite AFC team, I loved the guy. And when Dallas announced they'd hired him, I thought: finally. But Parcells is teetering. In every press conference, and on the sidelines during every game, you can see his career passing before his eyes. He's had enough of this batch of misfits, and who can blame him?
I've devoted enough pixel-dust in this space to Terrell Owens. He's the poster child for what's wrong with American pro sports. But there's also the idiot kicker, Mike "Earring" Vanderjagt. There's Drew Bledsoe, who seems like a class guy, but is horribly painful to watch play quarterback. There's an owner whose liposuctioned face looks like the crypt-keeper, and who insists on playing general manager, despite an unquestioned record of absolute failure in the position. Heck, on this team, terminal grouser Terry Glenn looks like a good guy. They strut around on defense as though they're good (they're not), and they argue on the sidelines like a COPS re-run.
This is an insufferable group of people to root for. They dominate the headlines with knuckleheaded non-issues (most of which, I'll agree, circle around Owens, a.k.a., the Worst Guy In The World). They act like idiots when they win, and they act like idiots when they lose. The milk has curdled. The pudding has spoiled.
And here's something I never thought I'd say: I don't much like the Cowboys anymore.
What has the wagering been like on the World Series? Was it mostly pro-Tigers before the Series started? Has that changed as we've progressed, and the Cardinals have made it clear that they're not to be taken lightly?

White space in newsletters is like pausing in conversation. Take a breath now and then to avoid overwhelming the reader.It’s tempting to pack a business e-newsletter tight with content. After all, goes the rationale, the piece appears more substantial, more authoritative.However, in the audio book, “Sound Advice on Publishing E-Newsletters,” author Michael Katz says that laying out text in big, chunky paragraphs creates an obstacle to effective communications.Katz relates a recent experience with newsletters written by a professional services company. “What they had in place was actually pretty good – professional design, good content – and yet something was wro

Food as a cause of the epidemic of chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease in the “civilized” world is a relatively new concept that is gaining popularity. Loren Cordain, Ph.D. is one of the pioneers in the U. S. in the field of paleolithic nutrition. He and others have published numerous high quality articles on the concept of the hunter-gatherer as a diet that our bodies were meant to follow. These researchers have established solid data that indicate our ancient ancestors who were hunter-gatherers ate little to no grains, legumes or dairy products and appear to have been spared the degenerative, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases that we in the Western or civilized world are e

Hemorrhoids are common problems of the rectum and the anus. If detected early, Hemorrhoids can be cured with easily available medications – with many prepared from herbs. Such herbal medications may be a bit slow in reacting compared to the other medicines prepared from chemicals but the best thing about these herbal medicines is that they leave no side effects. Hemorrhoids cause unpleasant, burning and painful sensations in the rectum and the anus areas often accompanied by bleeding. Hemorrhoids occur due to veins that get swollen in those portions. The bleeding takes place as the blood vessels get torn resulting from excessive pressure exerted on the bowels, say during the bowel mo
BoDog Bookmakers, BoDog.ws: The Tigers haven't been as heavily favored as people would think thus far in the postseason. With a first-round match-up against the Yankees, Detroit wasn't getting much respect, and the more they won, the more the public thought the Yankees were a sure bet. Then they faced a very solid-looking Oakland side, where the action came in mixed on both sides, based on who was taking the mound. After a sweep there, bettors started to take notice of the talented Detroit lineup. In Game 1 of the World Series, we saw the majority of the money coming in on Detroit, who at that point had logged seven straight postseason wins. But the Cardinals made a statement with a 7-2 win. The last two match-ups have seen two aces step to the mound: Rogers in Game 2 and Carpenter in Game 3. The action in these cases came in slightly heavier based on the star pitchers. The Cards look very comfortable in the postseason, and they have had a lot of practice over the past few years. It's quite clear with a 2-1 lead they're making a run to finish this thing off on their own turf.
What a crazy, underdog-laden Week 7 in the NFL: by my count, eight 'dogs posted straight-up wins. Obviously, this isn't unprecedented, but I'm assuming this was a pretty good week for the books? Care to tell us which games were the worst beats for the wagering public?
BDB, BoDog.ws: It was a good week for books with a handful of big upsets taking place. The Tampa Bay miracle win over Philadelphia, Oakland running over an Arizona team that challenged the Bears, and Kansas City not folding at home to San Diego were three of the biggest beats for the wagering public.
The NBA opens on the 31st of October (how ghoulish!). Right here, right now: give us your NBA Finalists, and tell us why.
BDB, BoDog.ws: Cleveland and Phoenix. Cleveland because the NBA needs it; LeBron showed last year the team has playoff potential. If he can now take the team to the Finals, the NBA can use the story to try and get the league back to the Jordan glory days. Phoenix because San Antonio is too boring, and if Detroit makes it through in the East, at least we won't have to nap through the NBA Finals again.
What do you think of the NFL's decision to hold two regular-season games per year on international soil? Do you think it will negatively affect the participating teams? Do you think it will do anything in particular to wagering?
BDB, BoDog.ws: It seems odd that the NFL would go international for two regular-season games. Preseason is understandable, but this could definitely put some extra fatigue on the participating teams. Making a flight to, say, Japan mid-week and returning Monday morning to the U.S. to prep for the fo
