NBA Playoffs Previews for 5/21
Here you can find the odds and previews for all the NBA games of the day:
Philadelphia 76ers vs. Boston Celtics 7:00 PM ET Preview
The Celtics were up by 15 at halftime in Game 4 and had a collapse in the second half to let the Sixers come back for the win. I know everybody keeps talking about the age thing, but the pattern does fit as Boston plays well one game and looks a bit tired the next. Well, they are back in Boston tonight and the Celtics should get the win. Not sure if they will cover however. I think they are due for scoring in Game 5. Take over 173 as the play.

Which NFL Player Will Win Offensive Rookie of the Year
The 2012-2013 NFL season is just around the corner (thankfully), which means that there is a ton to get prepared for. One of the things that we need to discuss here is which of the NFL rookies will take down the 2012-2013 Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. This award was won last year by eventualy Pro-Bowler Cam Newton, who had one heck of a rookie season. This year though, the field is wide open as we have quite a few rookie quarterbacks who will be starting pretty much from the word go, and some other players who have a serious shot to take it down as well. For all the sports bettors out there, you can also bet on this on many different sports betting sites, so make sure that you check the odds! Here are the po...

Jason Dufner wins 2012 HP Byron Nelson Championship
It came down to the final stretch of holes at the HP Byron Nelson Championship for a winner to be declared, and Jason Dufner was able to find a way to get his name called when all was said and done on Sunday in Irving, Texas.
Dufner started out with a one shot lead heading into the final day, but quickly squandered it on Sunday with two bogeys right out of the gate. His experience showed after that, though, for the rest of the day, as he made two quick birdies right after that bad stretch and shot one under for the first nine holes to keep himself in contention. From then on it was pretty much smooth sailing for him until the final few holes, when a golfer by the name of Dicky Pride shot up the leaderboard.
Dicky Pride has had a good year in 2012, with five c...

NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race Results
Jimmie Johnson came away with the win for the second week in a row, renewing the talk of him being the favorite to win it all this season.
JJ won the first 20 lap segment, in this oddly formatted race, and shot off like a rocket for the final 10 lap shootout. He held off Brad Keselowski for the win and the $1 million winner take all prize.
Johnson was the favorite at +500, so it was still a tidy little payday for anyone who bet on him to win. Winners of the 4 segments included Johnson, Keselowski, Matt Kenseth and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. won the Sprint Showdown race to get into the big All-Star race and could give him a boost going into next week’s race.

Amile Jefferson signs with Duke
School officials said Tuesday night that Star high school forward Amile Jefferson signed his letter of intent to play for Duke this fall. Coach Mike Krzyzewski says Jefferson is "a perfect young man for Duke University."
Jefferson, a 6-foot-7, 190-pound power forward, was rated the 25th-best player in the country for 2012 by ESPN after he averaged 19.9 points per game and 10.2 rebounds and 2.7 steals as a senior for Friends' Central School in Philadelphia and he was named a McDonald's All-American.
Jefferson chose Duke over North Carolina State, Kentucky, Villanova, Ohio State and Temple. He signed on the last day of the spring signing period and ultimately decided on the school that he felt was the best fit for him.

Interesting Deal Between Big 12 and SEC for Future Bowl Games
The Big 12 and Southeastern Conference are widely considered to be two of the best college football conferences in the country, and it seems that year in and year out the betting favorites to take down the National Championship seem to be teams out of these two conferences. The two obviously realize this, and they have come together to set up a new deal that will make it so that the regular season champions of the two conferences will play eachother in a New Year's Day bowl game for five years straight starting in the year 2014. This is one of the first moves towards the new four team playoff system that is anticipated in the upcoming seasons.
The idea here is that it is going to create a "exciting postseason atmos...

clinched its fifth Champions League trophy in the 83rd minute when Thomas
Muller headed home Bastian Schweinsteiger's cross.But the hosts let the title slip through their fingertips in the 88th minute
when Drogba turned a header past goalkeeper Manuel Neuer from Juan Mata's
corner kick.Arjen Robben was handed a golden chance to restore Bayern's lead in extra
time, but his penalty kick was saved by goalkeeper Petr Cech, and Chelsea took
advantage of the reprieve to win the penalty shootout.The match played out as expected with the German side having much of the
possession and creating the majority of the chances, while Chel...Soccer Recent Forum Posts

Boston Red Sox (20-21) vs. Baltimore Orioles (27-15) 7:05 PM ET Preview
Baltimore Orioles aren’t playing anywhere near expectations and will be looking to continue defying their last-place prognosticators when they open a three-game series against the Red Sox, who have won eight of 10 to pull within a game of .500 (20-21), but were swept in a three-game series at Fenway Park by the Orioles earlier this month.

Owned by J. Paul Reddam, I’ll Have Another received all 47 first-place votes for 470 points. Ridden by Mario Gutierrez, the colt caught Bodemeister yards before the wire in the Preakness to post a neck victory in the middle jewel of racing’s Triple Crown and is on the threshold of becoming the first horse to sweep the series in 34 years. “My dreams always ended with winning the Kentucky Derby,” trainer Doug O’Neill said. “They never were followed up with winning the Preakness and going to the Belmont. That’s a new dream now continue
And the more you stumble across Klitschko-baiting phrases like “Chicken Kiev” and over-the-top hyperbole like “bone-chilling knockout,” “path of destruction” and “comatose heavyweight scene,” the more you wonder if this Ontario-based Jason Abelson character might have come to the media relations game after a failed stint writing infomercial scripts. Then you actually speak to Donovan Ruddock. And you quickly realize, if anything, that his chatter in the press release was conservative by comparison. “I’m a machine,” the Jamaican-born Canadian says, with a precise blend of confidence, bravado and Caribbean-lilted menace. “I’m a 2012 killing machine.” But lest you assume continue

Perhaps the most ironic element when looking at the way Joe Paterno lost his job as Penn State’s football coach after 46 seasons is that as a young man, he had his eyes set on law school. The fallout in 2011 from the child sex-abuse scandal involving Jerry Sandusky, who was an assistant on Paterno’s Penn State staff until 1999, prompted the university’s Board of Trustees to fire Paterno, then 84, with three games left in the regular season. Paterno, who died Sunday at 85, was criticized for not going to law enforcement in 2002 once he was told by then-graduate assistant continue
