It seems time really does fly as you get older...or the NASCAR season is way too long. NASCAR got a start last weekend with the Rolex 24 hour at Daytona Speedway. The season starts in earnest Feb 17 with the Daytona 500. Now I am learning to like NASCAR but can someone tell me why this sport has its biggest event of the season first???? Don't think it would work in the NFL.

Monday's POD game was the Cards of Louisville and UCON. As I was only able to see the last 5 minutes it sure looked like the oddsmakers know their shit. With the line ending up at 1, UCON wins 69-67. With his score of 71-66 Philly713 wins via tie-breaker. Nice!
...
Tuesday lets move to NBA with Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets.

As I read my fishwrap today I came across an article posted by McClathcy Newspapers concerning the impendind divorce case of Shaq. It seems his expenses for a month are as follows...156,116 for mortgages,110,505 on vacations,60,417 on gifts,26,560 on babysitters,24,300 on gasoline,22,190 for maids,17,220 on clothes and 12,775 on food. Add to this the tax man gets 500,000. With a monthly income of 1.8 million from the heat and 220,000 in endorsements I admit I am envious. The dude spends more on gifts per month than my wife and I clear TOGETHER a year.
In the real world, which you and I live in these numbers are mind-boggling. I mean really 12 grand a month on food??? 24 k for gas...dude dont you fly to games or get a limo??/ I'll watch your kids for 26k a month...give me a call! Again the pay of sports stars are way out of line.
I will give Shaq some credit as he is a reserve Miami Beach police officer. For free. Whoopie!

Well if any of you were actually able to read Sundays POD due to NBX having issues, the first game was the Celtics and Magic. Score ending 96-93. With 2 in a row NBX user CALFAN wins with a guess of 104-102
Second was the Dukies and Maryland. Dukies made it interesting as always, but ended up a 93-84 winner. And with his score of 91-83 user dream1er nets 10k in free classic points.
Nicely done!
...
Mondays POD, if you get to read this will be a Big East match-up, with the Cards of Louisville and Ucon . Nice game on paper...tell me the outcome.

It seems so. Long time Duck Teemu Selanne, who has sat out up to now is leaning towards a comeback after the NHL All Star break. Great news if you are a Duck fan, this guy can be a scoring machine. Speaking of the NHL All Star game, check it our tomorrow if you get VERSUS. Lots of scoring and little defence, no different that any other All star game. Fun to watch the best light the board.

Saturday;s first POD was a blow-out with Alabama Rolling over the Tigers of Auburn 97-77. Cloestest score to the result was sent by calfan===86-77.
Second was Georgetown and West Virgina. Winning on a disputed last second non-call was the hoyas 58-57. Your scores were everywhere, from blowout to close, but the closest was sent by MAXIMUM CARNAGE at 65-61. Well done you two!
...
Sundays 2 plays will split between NCAA and NBA. First is the Dukies and Maryland. Interesting game.
Second is the slumping Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic.
You know your task.

Depending on which source one reads, either the Godfather Al Davis has asked for Lane Kiffin to re-sign...or not. Sounds like typical crap from Al Davis. I used to be a Raider fan, but issues like this turned me away. Raider Fan...can you clear this up?
...
Fridays POD was Lakers at Dallas. Again you jukies amaze me with your capping skills, as at least 6 of you were close. But then this isnt horseshoes and hitting a ringer was gjecat with a score of 112-103 Mavs. Very nice!
...
Saturday, with no football I decided to continue my tradition of two plays for you. Both in College hoops.
First will be Auburn and Alabama. Wish I could watch this one, but my rabbit ears will not get a signal.
Second is Gerogetown and West Virgina. I believe this is a National air on ESPN, but not sure. Anyway those will be your task tomorrow.
...
Football junkies you can always watch the Senior Bowl in football, I will most likely tune in.

One of the few benifits of living in the Mid-West is we get all 4 seasons. Now I enjoy 3 of the 4. You can shove winter up the apple tree as far as Im concerned. Yes I am aware that some love the snow, skiing and the like but Im too damm old to be shoveling snow with a Temp of 0 and a wind chill of -30. Don't tell me, Commish why not get a snowblower. I have one and its so cold the thing will not start! Sorry but you can keep this crap!
...
Wed. POd was a college hoops tussle with Florida nipping the Cocks of South Carolina 73-71. Too bad I had to witness another Kansas blowout. Anyway, some real close scores submitted by you junkies, closest was 74-71 sent by godevils2001 for his second in a row. Driskell he's gunning for your record of 4!
...
Thursday we will shift to the NHL. Gotta have at least 1 a week. Game is Senators and TB Lightning.
Tiebreaker is total shots on goal for BOTH Teams.

Bet wisely!

It seems the Miami Dolphins are interested in injury prone 38 yr old QB Trent Green to return in 2008. At this point the Phins have nowhere to go but up, so this may be a good move. Clearly Lemons was'nt the answer, but yet I cannot believe that ANY QB can save this team as it currently is. Time will tell. Fish fan, what do you think?
...
Tuesday's POD was Michigan and Wisconsin on the court. A snoozer, with The Badgers winning 64-61. Closest guess to this was sent by godevils2001 , 68-52. Good enough for 10k free points.
...
Wed. POD stays with college hoops using the Florida Gators and South Carolina Gamecocks. Should be a nice game, but what do I know.
...
WHEN SUBMITTING YOUR SCORE INCLUDE YOUR NBX USERNAME OR IT WILL BE DQed.

The host, not quite ready to give up on NFL was looking for MNF tonight when the Boss (wife) told me I was watching my sports on the 18 incher and not the Flat screen. "Why's that dear?" I ask. "Well if you must know I am watching Dance War. Bruno and Carrie Ann are on tonight. And while Im at it, tomorrow I'm watching American Idol as well as Wed. night. So Get comfy in the basement, and while you're down there...do the laundry!" .... I get to the basement and flick on the tube and much to my Horror the first thing I see is a remake of American Gladiators with Hulk Hogan.....Wonder when BALCO will get to the WWF...or whatever its called now.
Really, who dreams up these shows, America's Biggest Loser seems to be a mega-hit, Dances with Stars topped the charts, Trading Spouses, and on and on. I WILL NEVER BELITTLE ESPN AND THEIR PROGRAMING AGAIN! Honest!

Anyway..back to biz....MOnday's POD game was the Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons. With a buzzer-beating 2pt shot, Orlando wins this 102-100. Closest score was sent by NBXer JON with his 103-94 prediction. You win sir!
...
Tuesday's POD travels to Big Ten hoops, with the Michigan Wolervines and Wisconsin Badgers. Guess I am still smarting over the Cheesheads loss Sunday. Your mission junkies is the score of this. Be aware tip is 7 EST, AND INCLUDE YOUR NBX HANDLE....THIS IS A MUST!

Well a pair of decent NFL games today. I admit I lost my shorts, along with a shot at WSBC on the Pack. Can the Giants match up with the Pats? I have my doubts, but thats why these affairs are played on the Field and not on Bookie sheets. My guess for SB ....Pats 34-17. But what do I know.
...
First POD winner on the Pats and Chargers, with a guess nearest the final of 21-12 was bstrds with his score of 27-17 Pats.
Second POD winner, On the nuts no less was sometime POD player Yanksguyx2 with a score of 23-18 Giants. Well done you 2!

Mondays POD game is back to NBA with the Pistons and Magic. Talk to me!

Just a fair warning as I read in my fishwrap that Eric Mangani has hired Bill Callahan, ex of the Huskers as an assistant coach to work with the Offensive lineman. After collecting his 3.125 MILLION severance fron Nebraska he is expected to join the Jets staff later this week. Glad for us Cornheads and so sorry for you Jets fan. Callahan is no motivator, teacher or even a presence on the field. Good bye and PLEASE Bill don't grace my sports section again!

Saturday's POD revolved around College hoops, first with the DePaul Blue Demons edging the Scarlett Knights of Rutgers 75-73. Easing his way into 10k free points was philly713 as he sent a total of 77-69.
Some scores came close and the host had to go to the tie-breaker.
Second game was in the Pac-10 with the Washington Huskies downing the Oregon State Beavers 83-74. For the 4th day in a row....not sure I lost count mdriskell wins 10k with his score of 83-61. Dude give someone else a chance!!..Just kidding
...
Sunday for the last time this month both PODs are in the NFL. Bolts or Pats.....G-men or Pack???
Your mission is to tell me the outcome.

The BALCO investigation has branched into the NFL as ex Defensive Lineman Dana Stubblfield pled guilty to lying to the Grand Jury about his use of Roids. Stubbblefield testified in Nov of 03 that he NEVER used banned substances. Now he is subject to a prison term of 0 to 6 months , and the sentencing judge is not tied to the plea bargin. Lesson boys and girls...if your gonne lie cover your ASS!
...
Fridays POD was the Celtics and 76ers. With Boston storming the 4th quarter the result ended 116-89 Celts. And storming to the POD win, FOR THE 3RD day in a row was mdriskell with his guess of 116-99.
...
Saturday there are 2 games for you junkies to choose from, both in NCAA roundball. First is Rutgers and DePaul with a 2pm EST tip.
Second is a Pac-10 game with Oregon State and Washington tipping at 6pm EST.

Good luck!

Welcome to the PLAY OF THE DAY
The Play Of The Day is run by NBX player and Wiseguy commish422. Every day you have a chance to name the winner of a designated game and get closest to the points total. Do that, and you can win an extra 10,000 pts. Good luck!
Play-of-the-Day Rules
1. You must pick the winner correctly to be in the running for the 10,000 points. Pick the winner wrong and you are automatically out for that game.
2. Out of those that correctly picked the winner, the one who guessed the winning teams score closest to the real point total they had, whether it be over or under that total, is the winner.
3. If two or more people tie for the winning teams score total, it goes to the losing teams total score, with the same rules in effect.
4. If two or more people are still tied after going through the winning and losing teams individual score totals, the final tiebreaker is the total points scored. Closest to this total is the winner. If there is still a tie, we have a tie for the contest and mulitple winners.
5. There is to be NO WHINING about this contest. If you don't like the way that it is being run, you don't have to enter it. This is a contest that was started to be fun and give everyone a chance to get some extra points, so let's have it be that way.
6. The judge cannot be entered in the contest, nor does he care who wins or loses. There will be NO favoritism shown by him in this contest.
7. Do NOT ask the judge how many people have the game as the over or the under or how many people have taken one team or the other. All of these questions will be ignored. This contest is not to be used to help someone ascertain how to bet on a particular game.
8. Once you make your pick and send it in, don't even think of changing it. A bet layed is a bet played.
