The New Wooden

Ben Howland

Psyche! Ben Howland is however making himself quite a name in Los Angeles these days. Howland signed a seven-year deal today that will be worth well over $16 million when it’s all said and done. Howland received this extension because he has guided the Bruins to back-to-back Final Four’s for the first time since 1976 during the glory days of UCLA. If I was UCLA I would have locked this man into a 20 year deal because he is the REAL DEAL. I fully expect UCLA will have a National Championship before 2010 and they might end up with two by then.

Indy 500 Winner Means NASCAR Contract

October 3, 2007 by stonecoldjz

Dario Franchitti

The winner of the 2007 Indianapolis 500 Dario Franchitti has signed a multi-year deal with Gnassi Racing. Franchitti also won the Indy Series Championship so this is a huge blow to the racing circuit. Franchitti will race in the #40 Dodge and could race as soon as Homestead at the end of the year. Franchitti’s significant other is Ashley Judd so I’m sure we will see more of her on NASCAR Sunday’s in the coming years. 🙂

Rockies Win Amidst Controversy

October 2, 2007 by stonecoldjz

Check out the video clip below of the Wildcard Playoff tiebreaker between the Rockies and Padres last night. Do you think Holliday was safe or out? I hate to say it, but plays like this make you realize MLB should think about instant replay. Either way the Rockies won 9-8 and now move on to face the Phillies.

How can you bet against the Patriots right now based on the way they have started this season? We don’t think you can so take the Patriots -7.5 at the Bengals tonight. Maroney and Rudi Johnson are out so the running back problems become a wash.

Ricky Applies for Reinstatement

October 1, 2007 by stonecoldjz

Ricky Williams

Ricky Williams has applied for reinstatement to the NFL based on his agent Leigh Steinberg. Williams has particpated in only twelve games since the start of the 2004 season due to four different violations of the NFL drug policy. The league and Roger Goodell now have roughly 60 days to make a decision on whether they will reinstate Ricky to the NFL. Ricky is currently under contract with the Dolphins, but Coach Cameron has announced he will not comment at this time. We would like to predict if…and that is a big if…Goodell reinstates Williams the 0-4 Dolphins will keep Williams under contract. This running back hasn’t had much wear and tear in the last two years and with all his yoga classes he has to be in good shape.

MLB Bet of the Day

Tonight San Diego must travel into Denver in a do or die game against the surging Rockies to see who wins the wild card spot in the National League. The Padres lost their last two games of the year against the Brewers while the Rockies have won 13 of their last 14 games. San Diego is starting NL Cy Young (my opinion) Jake Peavy (19-6 2.36 234 strikeouts – leading each pf these categories in the NL) while the Rockies hand the ball to Josh Fogg (10-9 4.79 ERA). I know pitching wins in the playoffs so we should go with Peavy and the Padres, but Colorado will win this game tonight and go on to face the Phillies.

Colorado wins the moneyline +121

Overall Record:

NFL 25-13-2
College Football: 20-21
MLB 1-0
College Basketball 48-37-2
