Harsh thought but...

Salvador Cabaas, striker and main player for the Paraguay national team got shot in the head in a bar/lady bar in Mexico City. He was was having a dispute with two guys over a Cuban prostitute.

It's the battle for Southern California in the Lingerie Football League and it's all to play for as Los Angeles Temptation takes on San Diego Seduction. The Los Angeles Temptation are fresh off a victory against the previously unbeaten Seattle Mist and, with a margin of victory of 32 points on Friday, they can steal the #2 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs from Seattle. In their last game, San Diego lost 40-6 after being overpowered by the Dallas Desire so there is a lot of hope for Los Angeles in their season finale. Not to mention, the Temptation's Head Coach has already won two Lingerie Bowls.





If anyone has read this far down, Vegas has the line at Los Angeles -9 with the O/U set at 35.

It was all going so well for Tim Tebow until the 2009 SEC Championship game. Well, things were not exactly going perfectly well in the big scheme of things but he was doing just fine. Florida were the number one team in the country, they were 5 point favorites going into the game and were well on their way to consecutive National Championships. But Tebow and Florida came out on the losing side, drowned by the Crimson Tide 32-12.





And then came the questions - the same questions that dogged him earlier in the year when he pondered about entering himself into the 2009 draft and have dogged him ever since – could he actually be a quarterback in the NFL? That one was probably always going to run until draft day whenever ESPN have a slow news day but it would have been a good plan to concentrate on football and concentrate on keeping a low profile. Agreeing to be involved with what is claimed to be an anti-abortion advertisement to be aired during the Super Bowl? Questionable move.





Aside from that, Tim Tebow has been getting back to business this week. And that business is proving to the 32 NFL teams that he can be an effective QB and get a nice fat paycheck rather than being drafted in the 4th Round and getting paid in bibles. But he wasn’t off to the best of starts – in Monday’s practice session for the Senior Bowl Yahoo quoted a NFC talent scout on Monday who quipped “he looks like the third QB out there”. Unfortunately for Tebow, there were only 3 QBs out there. On Tuesday USA Today reported that an anonymous CBS Sports executive concluded “Great kid but some of the worst mechanics and accuracy I've seen on a big-time QB prospect”. Ouch.

The Senior Bowl is on Saturday which is Tebow’s chance to show the NFL that he can adjust his game and actually take snaps from anywhere but the shotgun on a national stage. But what if it’s a disaster? What if he’s merely ordinary? Then what? Well personally it could actually make me believe that may be a god and that god has a sense of humor.

Well I posted a loser yesterday so hopefully I can make up for it today.

There is an early game and I am going to go with the Pens. I know at -150 that seems like a lot of chalk to lay against the Red Wings but Detroit has been reeling. This is not the same team that went to the Finals the last couple of years and although Pittsburgh is not playing their best they are still playing better than Detroit.

Penguins at -148



More Plays likely to come later.

I am going with the St. Louis Blues today. They are a pretty even match with the Blue Jackets and probably why each team has won their on their own ice this year when they faced each other. Both teams goaltenders are struggling thus far this year but I think St. Louis has the better all-around talent.

I got a good number too which is always a deciding factor.


St. Louis Blues ML -155

DOCTOR MMA GET OVER HERE!! IM HEMORRHAGING BASKETBALL MONEY!! GET OVER HERE NOW GOD DAMMIT!!

That would describe my month if it were a tacky drama on network television. Unfortunately, this is not television, and I really have been hemorrhaging money on useless basketball games. No more. Daddys home, and he brought a gold-plated tourniquet. There will be mixed martial arts action taking place on three of the next four weekends. And that off weekend in between? Ill be leaving the house that weekend. Enough of the nonsense!

On Saturday night Strikeforce: Miami will air live on Showtime. There are several notable fights taking place, including: Cristiane Santos (-610) vs. Marloes Coenen (+455), Melvin Manhoef (-190) vs. Robbie Lawler (+165) and Herschel Walker (-350) vs. Greg Nagy (+290). Yes, that Herschel Walker. Im as of yet undecided on these, but there are three other fights that I have given some thought to.

Nick Diaz -270
Marius Zaromskis +230

The Diaz brothers loom around every corner that I turn. Did you hear the one about me being 0-9 in any fight involving Nate Diaz? Would be funny if it was a joke. I have a little better luck predicting big brother Nicks (20-7) outcomes. And Im looking for paydirt.

Diaz has been victorious in five straight bouts, most recently taking out Frank Shamrock and Scott Smith. A brilliant product of the Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu camp, Diaz poses a difficult opponent for many guys with his unorthodox style. Sure he is fun to root against because hes such a jackass, but you have to give credit where it is due.

Marius Zaromskis (13-3) is a Lithuanian fighter who has been racking up victories in DREAM. Very few people will have heard of him once he faces off with Diaz, and I believe that the odds are overblown to reflect this. Zaromskis likes to throw crazy knees and head kicks, and this could neutralize Diazs striking. Im going with the upset here. Besides, Diaz in Miami during Super Bowl festivities if he doesnt get arrested before the fight, he will definitely be hungover. Im taking a shot.


Bobby Lashley -1475
Wes Sims +800

Wow isnt that something? -1475. Im not sure Ive seen a guy that high for an MMA fight. Strikeforce is hoping that they have the second coming of Brock Lesnar in Lashley (4-0). A giant brute of a man, this ex-professional wrestler has breezed through the competition in his fledgling career. For various reasons, his opponents for this matchup were scratched twice. Enter Option C - Wes Sims (22-12-1).

Sims has been around for a long time, and UFC fans will recognize him from his recent stint on the latest installment of The Ultimate Fighter. Turns out he was much better at telling jokes than he was in the Octagon, as he was bounced in the first round of fights by Justin Wren. He should be an easy sacrifial lamb to usher in the Lashley era at Strikeforce. BUT.

I mean, Sims has tons of experience. Hes thrown down with guys like Frank Mir and Tim Sylvia. He has to have a punchers chance here, right? Right?! Aw hell, its worth throwing down a bit of lettuce on him. If this doesnt come in, I dont even want to hear it. Im not throwing out a lock on a +800 goofball underdog. Im just saying. Why not?

Oh no I diint!​

Jay Hieron -320
Joe Riggs +260

So one decent-sized dog and one ridiculously no-chance-in-hell colossal dog so far. The tomfoolery ends there. Jay Hieron (18-4) is, simply put, a cut above Joe Riggs (32-11-0, 1 NC). Im looking for a win and Im looking for it to arrive in a manner that requires no sweating on my part.

The last time most of us saw Riggs, he was whuppin up on perennial loudmouth Phil Baroni like it was his job. He snuck in a couple more fights since then that nobody has ever heard of, winning both. Riggs is a good guy to have in your stable, for sure. Youre just not ever going to allow him to sire your mares is all Im saying.

The talented Hieron will not be stopped on this night. If he can deliver the 1st round finish that Im banking on, we can both make the South Beach Super Bowl parties on time. That reminds me, I wonder what the Heat line is

Jay Hieron​
