QUOTE (IowanSoxFan @ Dec 1, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) This is going to be an awkward situation tomorrow, do the Chiefs have a little ceremony or moment of silence for him, I mean he did kill someone else? Anyway, what a terribly sad story, especially for the coach and the other guy. Cant act like nothing happened though. I say do a moment of silence for the girlfriend, their kid, her family and the player's family. All of them are the victims in this situation.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Dec 1, 2012 -> 03:31 PM) Yeah, I used to play online poker but of course that is on the rocks now. Any specific reason you use Western Union if the site accepts your credit card? Well I mostly deposit with my credit card to avoid the fees. But some sites my card is blocked so I'd find a site that does WU. But 5dimes takes my card so I'm good there. But I always request payouts by WU or Moneygram to avoid hassles with getting a check sent back. If you do use your card, be prepared to fill out a form and to make a photo copy of the card and to fax/email it to the site for verification before requesting a payout. It's only a one time thing. Just make sure to read the deposits/payouts rules before doing anything.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Dec 1, 2012 -> 03:01 PM) Lines are back up in Vegas at most books...looks like the oddsmakers bumped the line up from Car -3 to Car -3.5 in most places. wow, I looked on 5dimes earlier and saw nothing. No way would I touch that game.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Dec 1, 2012 -> 01:07 PM) So a little off topic, but I just got my first paycheck and want to do some betting on tomorrows games, I know a couple of people have posted about their bets on this thread. What site do you all use and if you don't mind maybe pm me or post some friendly advice. I use 5dimes because they take my credit card. They also allow Western Union deposits/payouts and they are quick at processing those. I'd suggest doing WU but you will have to pay about 10-15 in sending fees and they take about $30 in fees for payouts. Also you have to send a min. of $100 for Western Union or Moneygram. Even though I do like gambling and talk about it, I do think you should really think it over before doing so. I'm sure you know the risks and how some people can really get addicted to it. I saw someone basically waste 10 years of his life just gambling non stop and blowing through his money. Money management is the key. There is so much more than just seeing a number and taking it because you think Team A will cover the 4 point spread. Read about line movements and key numbers. Dont bet on what you dont know. Just be smart.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 1, 2012 -> 01:44 PM) Bet against the Chiefs. Seriously though, every single player on that team has to be contemplating suicide each week. I have respect for them for not taking the easy way out. 1. No lines are up for the game anymore and I doubt there will be one posted for tomorrow. 2. Try a little harder next time.

Georgetown beats Tennessee 37-36 in MENS basketball tonight. GT made a jumper to make it 37-36 with 4:08 left in the game! haha

Great, now Hickory has turned the basketball thread into a pissing match.

I make one decent selection and one bad one tonight. I put in Turner and he does decent enough but I also took out Moore.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 29, 2012 -> 09:50 AM) Ugh, I think I have to start Michael Turner tonight, he sucks. LawFirm will take one RB spot, but my other RBs are Forte, Felix Jones, & Donald Brown. I don't think I can risk Forte or Jones not playing Sunday, so have to go with Turner as RB2. If Forte does play, can always flex him. I hate Michael Turner. I'm regretfully starting Turner over Steven Jackson. Just hoping for about 60 yards and a TD tonight.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Nov 28, 2012 -> 11:35 PM) OSU blows it for the conference. Kidding, more like MSU and Wisconsin did. Still get the trophy though. They should let the Big East championship between Louisville and Rutgers decide it tomorrow. Wisconsin blew it for the Big 10. Miami was favored tonight.

QUOTE (Rex Hudler @ Nov 28, 2012 -> 09:30 PM) Don't look now, but the ACC could win this thing. Seems both Illinois and OSU have to win to provide a win for the Big Ten. Can't see Penn St winning without Tim Frazier. I dont know anything about Penn St basketball but Boston College is absolutely dreadful.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 28, 2012 -> 09:10 PM) MSU looks horrid didnt look good but Miami wasnt losing that game tonight. I know its still the opening month of the year but Miami really needed that win.

Miles will be loving the raise LSU will have to give him now.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 27, 2012 -> 08:56 PM) You can't have too much defensive line depth. If a horrible defense like the Eagles let him go then you know he isnt worth picking up.

7-5 and tied with 2 others for the last two spots but I lose the tiebreaker because only one other person has scored less points than me. It took me beating the 1-10 person 97-57 this week to pass them on the total points scored list. But everyone has their worst offensive outputs while playing me. Over the last 6 weeks, only one person has cracked 80 points against me. Weird how it works out like that.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 26, 2012 -> 02:48 PM) Tampa Bay. They're locked into that stadium forever, IIRC. Something like 25 years or so I believe. The mayor of St Petersburg is really giving it to the Rays right now as they try to move into the Tampa area. Just hope the Rays have enough money to give some to Price.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 25, 2012 -> 08:59 PM) Yeah, I think the Saints/Queens/Seahawks will miss the playoffs leaving Atlanta/SF/GB/Bears/Giants/Bucs in the playoffs... Dont look now but the Seahawks are in because of the replacement refs vs GB. Seattle has an absolute brutal stretch coming up. Saints are against the wall and have the Falcons on the road this Thursday. TB has a tough stretch coming up but the finale at Atlanta might not be so tough if Atlanta already has the NFC locked up. The Cowboys and Redskins caught some big breaks today too. I cant see Chicago not getting a spot unless Cutler goes down. So it leaves Seattle,Tampa Bay,Minnesota,New Orleans,Dallas and Washington fighting for the final spot. Its going to be a wild finish.

Another tough loss to take for the Bucs. I know in the NFL every game is close but the 5 losses have been by a combined 23 points. When the Bucs are 8-8 and watching the playoffs, they'll look back to missed opportunities against the Giants,Redskins,Saints and Falcons as the reason why they arent playing anymore. I'm trying not to expect the world this year, especially after last year, its still tough to take. Atleast every team the Bucs are battling with(Seattle,Minny,New Orleans) lost today.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Nov 25, 2012 -> 01:30 PM) THE Big Dog? Hardly. Latest study had ND at the 4th largest fanbase. However the #1 haterbase is what made it so interesting. USC had alot of temporary fans last night. Kinda like the Howard Stern movie line. Average Stern fan listens to the show for 30 minutes because they wanted to know what he'd say next. Average Stern hater listens to the show for 90 minutes because they wanted to know what he'd say next. Miami doesnt have a big fanbase at all but they always get big ratings on ESPN/CBS/ABC. More people watch to see teams lose than to root for them.

Going to Celtic right now is going to stunt his development. When are young American players going to realize its not in their best interest to jump to a major club right away. Playing time is much more important than riding the bench and being on a well known club. Unless he is for sure going to be playing 60 minutes a match, why even go to the Scottish league?

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Nov 24, 2012 -> 11:30 PM) ND in title game blows...............4th down ref gifts at home over and over..............I hope they get smoked in bowl game like they always do! better than Alabama/UGA vs Florida.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Nov 24, 2012 -> 11:23 PM) He didn't trust the QB and I have a hard time blaming him. A yard isn't that hard to gain. No but you just cant keep running up the middle when your opponent is selling out for that play. Do a toss or something. Atleast Florida has no shot now. I can go back to rooting against ND now.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 24, 2012 -> 11:19 PM) Shocker, more dropped passes. Unbelievably awful play calling there. And please ABC, stop showing Te'o every other play when he's been a non-factor tonight. Musberger and Herbstreit were terrible on the broadcast tonight. I think Herbstreit is pretty good at what he does but Musberger is flat out terrible. Pretty sad that the top guys for CBS and ABC is Verne and Brent. Just promote Nessler to the top spot already.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 23, 2012 -> 05:40 PM) ESPN Sources saying Percy Harvin is out on sunday his nickname isnt Percy Charmin for nothing.
