The Utah Utes have quite the "we deserve to be National Champions" argument. Six of their 13 wins in this undefeated season came against bowl teams. Of course, it won't matter a lick in the end. And are you like me, where you can't think of "Utes" without thinking of Joe Pesci and "My Cousin Vinny"?...so far, my New Year's Resolution of not watching the Toronto Raptors until they win three straight is intact, but with Jose Calderon out, that could be done next game. Yeah, I said it...after throwing 7INT's all season, the Miami Dolphins Chad Pennington went and tossed four Favre's, err, interceptions. The Baltimore Ravens won easy 27-9. The Ravens move on to Tennessee for what should be a hard hitting game and frankly, I think the Ravens can win it. That said, once they dispose of San Diego, the Pittsburgh Steelers remain my AFC pick to play in the Super Bowl against...the New York Giants, who host the Philadelphia Eagles while the Arizona Cardinals travel to face the Carolina Panthers...in case you missed it the 865 times it aired this weekend, Bruce Springsteen is playing the Super Bowl...one of the great baseball sites out there is Fangraphs, which has a formula to calculate a players value relative to his actual salary. Check out Los Angeles Angel Gary Matthews Jr., who has been paid $15 million the last two years with a value of -$600,000. Yes, NEGATIVE...funny that Keyshawn Johnson's fellow analysts hammered him for trashing Brett Favre yesterday, and Thomas Jones earlier for doing so, but I don't exactly hear any New York Jets saying Jones was wrong. Part of their argument was that Jones has been on four teams in nine years. Well, there's two teams in six months now that haven't wanted Favre. ESPN Radio in New York's Max Kellerman calls Favre the "white T.O." and railed on last week that Favre's act is actually far worse than anything T.O. has done in recent memory in how he has held teams hostage, and nowhere near the talent that T.O. is and never has been...3-1 now in Prime Time Picks and ahead $200 after the Philadelphia Eagles nicely covered the field goal spread over Minnesota. Up today, who else could we play but Canada to take the Gold at the World Junior Hockey Championships? Got in a nice price of -1 -106 as well. Get on that fast before it shoots up, as it no doubt will, at Pinnacle...have a great Monday.

You didn't disappoint!
Just a follow up on the Dero article few weeks back. Price tag seems to be 600k

Thanks for the link YF.
So my first day of online betting didn't go so good, made half back yesterday with Ravens and Eagles.(A little nervous after the Colts debacle)
Tough call on Canada tonight, Sweden handled Russia with ease but Rando's been hot so I'll sprinkle a couple dollars.
Any insight into Texas-Ohio State tonight?
Raps not bad at +8.5, I can see them keeping it close.
Texas will rape Ohio State just to prove a point that they should have been in the BCS title game.
Raps is a good pick.
Also would take the Spurs -3.5 against the Heat.
canada line has gone down.
now -.5 -115.
either laying off or might sprinkle on the swedes at +175 on the ML.
$600k seems a pretty huge chunk of change for DeRo, but hey, they blew money on Welsh and he was trash, so $600k could well be a good number.
Can't see the Raps winning, they're generally shit back to back, but stranger things have happened.
If I'm a fan of anyone in NCAA football, it is Ohio State, but I don't like their odds tonight, though a good dose of Pryor and Beenie Wells could change that, particularly if Wells is looking to up his draft stock.
But it's all about the Gold tonight, should be a great one if it is anything like the last pair. If Canada gets better goaltending than they have, they win easy methinks.
Goaltending for Canda will likely determine it, kind of weak lately.
Waiting sure cost me as the Canada play is up to -119 and Texas went from -8 to -9. Raps up to +9 and took YF's play on the Spurs.
Dropped a total of $10 on 4 games. High roller, eh? :)
Makes it more fun to watch even with a $2 bet.
Thank-you TB, thank-you YF, 2/2 so far. Raps looking good to cover and haven't checked Texas-OSU yet.
I still trust Texas.
Tough fuckin way too lose on the Raps. Just awful that they couldn't cover.
Funniest part is Kapono could've covered the 8.5 with that lazy last second shot that nobody contested.
Welcome to gambling ROTR, where EVERYTHING matters.
Yea man and that crappy Solomon missed dunk would have helped things.
Rotr I also started at $2 games......now I won't hesitate to drop $75 on a game and I've done as much as $400 on Futures :(
lol slowed down for the last month though.
Oh well, break even tonight. If I just stuck with the TB pick and YF Spur's I would've been laughing but got greedy.
Can't wait to play again. :)
What's the word on the BCS Game?
Bet Florida and bet Florida comfortably.
21-17 OSU. 2mins left.
Also take the Over on the 195 between the Lakers and Hornets tomorrow night.
WHAT A GAME. SO GLAD Tressell didn't get it.
Beauty.
Piss off YF.
At least Texas wins? C'mon OSU, mess up, I can still cover.
Game over 24-21 Texans.
Why the over YF? Haven't played those yet. But I take it on good advice.
Lakers average 107. Their opponents average 97 = 204.
Hornets average 95 but the Lakers are playing at home. They'll run.
195 is great to go over.
