By Knup In a bit of a shocking turn, David Garrard has decided that instead of potentially starting the year as the starting quarterback for the New York Jets, that he was going to have to hang it up and retire. The reason for this is because his knees just simply weren't holding up for him, and that he wouldn't have been able to get the job done. So for any of the Jets fans out there that were hoping that Garrard would have another year or two left, and tha...

By Knup It's no surprise that the NC State Wolfpack losing quarterback Mike Glennon to the NFL is going to hurt. They were pretty fortunate after Russell Wilson left (or was sort of pushed out of town), that they had Glennon to fill in and get things rolling. Glennon had a big arm and a bright future (as we saw), but now the Wolfpack are looking to figure out who their new starting quarterback will be. The team hired Dave Doeren from Northern Illino...

By Edward23 The Yankees have not enjoyed their recent trips to play the Rays, losing 13 of the last 16 games. The Yankees will look to change that pattern when they open a three-game series against them tonight. New York mustered only five runs en route to dropping two of three at Tampa Bay last month. The Yankees have managed to find their way to first place in the American League East despite numerous key injuries, led by Robinson Cano's 13 home runs and 33 RBIs. The Rays are four games back in the AL East even though they have struggled on the mound, standing 24th in the league with a...

By Edward23 No. 7 Ottawa Senators vs. No. 1 Pittsburgh Penguins – 7:30 PM ET The Senators attempt to stave off elimination against the Penguins in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference second round series. Daniel Alfredsson recorded a goal and an assist on Wednesday to reach the 100-point plateau of his postseason career, but the Penguins breezed to a 7-3 triumph to seize a 3-1 advantage in the series. James Neal and Jarome Iginla scored two goals apiece and Norris Trophy finalist Kris Letang notched four assists in the Game 4 onslaught. Pittsburgh's high-octane offen...

By Knup The 2013 PGA Tour is coming off of an interesting weekend at the HP Byron Nelson Championship, which featured some strong golf, and also a few players who simply came up short when all was said and done. Now though, it's time to move on and take a look at the 2013 Crowne Plaza Invitation from a betting perspective. There are going to be some interesting bets across the board, but in this type of event you'll find that the odds for picking the winner can definitely pay out well, although it's not always the eas...

By Knup The NASCAR Sprint Cup had some fun as they finished up the All-Star race this past weekend, with Jimmie Johnson taking home the win. This was the fourth All-Star victory for Johnson, and he was able to do it by holding on against some tough pushes from the likes of Joey Logano and Kyle Busch. Kyle and Kurt Busch were actually going back and forth to start the race off, but Kurt had to take a poorly timed pit stop that left him a good bit back in the back. There's no move though from last weekend's race action in Charlotte, NC, as the Coca-Cola 600 is the next race on the agenda...

By Knup Steve Alford did some very good things for the New Mexico Lobos and their basketball program. After another strong regular season (although the year ended with an early exit from the NCAA Tournament), Alford was a hot coaching commodity for some open jobs, and one of them was the popular job with the UCLA Bruins. The Bruins' job was absolutely one of the most sought after, and when it was offered to Alford, he definitely couldn't turn the offer...

By dmmd98 For years there has been a back and forth between the EPL, La Liga and previously before that the Serie A as to which league is best in the world. With Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League Final, the Bundesliga now takes its place amongst the world's best leagues. Both teams are worthy finalists after knocking out Real Madrid and FC Barcelona in the semifinals. While Real Madrid gave Borussia Dortmund some late drama at the end neither game was really close after the first leg. No one should complain about Bayern Munich and Dortmund making it to the Cham...
