I don't understand why the Titans don't go to Vince Young as a starter now ? They are 0-3, they are getting beat badly every week. Kerry Collins is a veteran that is not part of the Titans future. Let Vince get in there and learn on the job. Either that or trade him and let him go somewhere else where he can play.
Quarterback play in general in the NFL is horrible.... other then the top names in the NFL everything else is terrible... Raiders, Redskins, Buccaneers, Panthers, Browns, Seahawks, Bills, Dolphins - all these teams don't have quality quarterbacks and could use help in a bad way....
Just don't get it....

BAD BEATS IN SPORTS !!!!!!!
If the terminology "BAD BEAT" does not register with you, then you are probably not a sports gambler... and this blog will not have as much meaning as it does for others that read this.
We all have had Bad Beats that happened years ago that we still can't forget. They stay in our memory bank forever it seems. I wish the incredible wins would stay that fresh in my mind as well.
Watching the Steelers lose on Sunday and go from a fabulous winner to an incredibly bitter loss reminded me of some horrible beats in my past.
My number 1, worst beat and I still can't watch the highlight even today and this is over 20 plus years ago. Gibson hitting the 2 run homer against my beloved A's. I remember where I was, I remember what I was drinking, who I was with, everything.... most sickening feeling of my life. It was triple the pain , because I rooted for the A's since I was a child, I bet the A's in that game, and I bet a fortune on the A's to win the series. The second Gibson hit the ball, all three things vanished....... At that point the series was over, the A's had no chance to recover. Brutal , just brutal.
To this moment when some station starts showing "great moments", I turn the channel, I cannot watch it to this date. I have made thousands of bets since that date, but that bad beat will never be topped..
Thanks Denniss (Eckersley) for scarring a young man for life.

WHY THE TIGERS WILL WIN THE AL CENTRAL
THREE WORDS WHY THE TIGERS WILL WIN THE AL CENTRAL AND HOLD OFF THE MINNESOTA TWINS !!!
CHICAGO WHITE SOX
THE WHITE SOX ARE SIMPLY HORRIBLE - THEY HAVE SIMPLY STOPPED PLAYING HARD, THEY ARE TIRED OF OZZIE GUILLEN. THEY HAVE 6 GAMES LEFT WITH THE TIGERS. TIGERS WILL WIN ATLEAST 5 OUT OF 6 OF THESE GAMES AND THAT WILL PUT THEM OVER THE TOP IN THE CENTRAL.
I THINK THE WHITE SOX PLAYERS HAVE HEARD ALL THEY ARE GOING TO HEAR FROM OZZIE. YOU CAN ONLY CALL OUT MILLIONAIRE MEN SO MANY TIMES, AFTER THAT THEY JUST START TUNING YOU OUT. AT THIS POINT THEY HAVE TUNED HIM OUT AND MOST ARE PROBABLY HOPING FOR HIM TO GET FIRED.
SO AS MUCH AS ALL THE TWINS FANS WANT TO WISH FOR THIS COMING DOWN TO THE LAST DAY - IT WON'T THE WHITE SOX WILL HAVE GONE FISHING BEFORE THAT HAPPENS.

OLD BROADCASTERS
Old athletes just don't know when to retire. This becomes more obvious with more television I watch during football season.
Lou Holtz is he even all there ? He can't remember names, he can't finish a sentence without some help from his partners. Why don't they get him off TV?
Bob Griese obviously all the hits from the years are showing up. I was wondering why he went from #1 abc sports color guy to now doing an ESPN game at 9 am. But it is obvious , he has simply lost it, he is not sure about college football rules, unsure of names of players, and tries to talk hip every now and then and sounds like an idiot.
Mike Ditka - Come on !!! ESPN should be arrested for senior abuse for allowing him to still be on TV. He has completely lost it, he babbles and has no idea what he is saying.
I really think that ex athletes and coaches really are drinking the Kool Aid for too long. They have had too many people tell them are terrific for too long. I think it is time, for people to step up and tell these guys , hey it is time to hang it up.
As much as I love ESPN - they are the main problem in broadcasting. Suggesting that ex athletes are the only ones that can comment on a particular sport. They have set broadcasting back 20 years.

EARLY NFL SEASON
The key to early season nfl wagering is to look at stability. How many key starters are back for the team, if there is an offense or defense coach change , and if there is a new head coach. Teams that have stability generally do better in the early part of the season.
Give you an example - the Patriots have lost 4 key defense starters and Tom Brady who did not play last year is starting for the team. The Patriots will run into some early season problems, with missed coverages, and blown plays. But around week 4 or 5 they should be clicking on all cylinders and be playing like the old Patriots.
Look for these subtle early season opportunities and capitalize on over priced teams.
Good Luck !!!!!!

VICK STILL SUSPENDED ?
Are you kidding me ? Has the nfl commissioner lost his mind ? Vick has lost 2 years and paid a heavy price for the mistakes he has made. Now Goodell is going to suspend him another 4 games ! That is absolutely terrible.
Before PETA bans my site, I love animals especially dogs and understand the horrible things Vick was involved in. However, enough is enough. He is done with the punishment phase - let's move forward and give this man a chance.
We have and the NFL has given 2nd 3rd & 4th chances to many worst people other than Michael Vick. There are thugs in the NFL I would not let my children or sisters ever get near. Yet they are allowed to play and earn a living , yet Vick is not.
DISGUSTING - Mr. Goodell you are wrong in this matter. You want to continue to punish someone for their mistake ban Pacman Jones forever.
My thoughts.

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER
DO YOU WONDER WHY THEY CALL THEM THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER ? BECAUSE IN BASEBALL THE DOGS START WINNING. THE POWER TEAMS, AND THE POWER CLOSERS REALLY STRUGGLE.
THIS IS A STRANGE TIME OF YEAR, WITH THE ALL STAR BREAK APPROACHING SOME OF THE TOP PLAYERS REALLY START STINKING. ALSO YOU WILL SEE THE MIDDLE RELIEF GUYS BEING OVERWORKED WITHOUT A DAY OFF AND THEY WILL START STRUGGLING. YOU MAY EVEN SEE SOME OF THE TOP CLOSERS STRUGGLE A LITTLE BIT.
THAT IS WHY IT IS GOOD TIME TO START TAKING SOME OF THE UNDERDOGS. RECENTLY I SAW THE YANKEES FAVORED 340 - THAT IS RIDICULOUS ! NO ONE IS WORTH 3 1/2 TO 1.
START TAKING SOME OF THE UNDERDOGS AND MAYBE PICKING UP SOME OF THE UNDERDOGS ON THE RUN LINES.
THIS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL AUGUST THEN THINGS SETTLE DOWN AGAIN.
GOOD LUCK AND AVOID THE BIG FAVORITES !
