What does a trip to the BIG12 tournament get you? This nasty shit.
The first round is in the books and things are heating up. Unfortunately, injuries have been a major storyline thus far and have robbed us of several great players. The Oklahoma City Thunder may have suffered the biggest hit when they lost Russell Westrbook for the duration of the playoffs with a knee injury. The Thunder were considered the favorite to come out of the West, but now the conference is completely up for grabs. Let’s take a look at the four remaining series.
Henry Gibbohm lost $2,600 at a New Hampshire carnival trying to win a $100 Xbox Kinect. He blew his life savings on a game called Tubs of Fun. After he went home a licked his wounds, he went back the next day to complain to the manager and received $600 and a giant rasta banana for his troubles. The Manchester Police are currently looking into the game, but have already lost most of the department’s petty cash during the investigation.
I made an early bet on Frac Daddy at 50-1 and I am loving how the track is slopping up for him. His odds keep dropping (Currently 23-1) and I am feeling good. My girls picked their trifectas with Chloe going Goldencents, Giant Finish, MyLute and Juliet going ItsMyLady, Giant Finish, Falling Sky. I will probably will make some more bets before the 6:24pm post, but Frac Daddy is my pony.
The draft is over and it’s time to start digging through the rookie class of 2013 for fantasy gems. To help you out, I’ve done some of the leg work for you. If you are in a re-draft league, you won’t need to use this entire list, but if you are in a dynasty league, you need to know who all these guys are.
| 1 | Montee Ball, RB DEN | Nothing but busted parts sits in his way of starting. 3-down star. |
| 2 | Le’Veon Bell, RB PIT | Had some bad performances vs. tough Ds at MSU, but has the tools to be the Steelers’ every down back. |
| 3 | Tavon Austin, WR STL | Pure Electric Playmaking |
| 4 | Eddie Lacy, RB GB | Surgeries and Franklin dropped him from the top. |
| 5 | Giovani Bernard, RB CIN | Bernard has the speed to make it, but does he have the size? |
| 6 | Keenan Allen, WR SD | Phillip Rivers gets his replacement for VJ. |
| 7 | Aaron Dobson, WR NE | Meet Tom Brady’s new #1 WR |
| 8 | Cordarrelle Patterson, WR MIN | Can he be the playmaker the Vikings need? |
| 9 | DeAndre Hopkins, WR HOU | Andre Johnson gets his wish and gets some help. Hopkins will beat single coverage more times than not. |
| 10 | E.J. Manuel, QB BUF | The Bills surprised on draft day, but Manuel WILL BE the best QB of this draft. |
| 11 | Johnathan Franklin, RB GB | Lightning to Lacy’s thunder. Will get yards, but lose TDs to Lacy. |
| 12 | Joseph Randle, RB DAL | Best RB in Dallas will be the starter soon. |
| 13 | Matt Barkley, QB PHI | Barkley is a better fit than Vick in Kelly’s offense and he may be the week 1 starter. |
| 14 | Zac Stacy, RB STL | I love this guy and he is on the rise. |
| 15 | Marquise Wheaton, WR PIT | Has the tools and skills to replace Mike Wallace. Continue reading |
It’s time for the Sports Dump Mock Draft Challenge. Can Phil make it Back2Back or can Charlie or Tommy steal one from the champ? Greg is out this year and since Walter Camp Football would n’t clear their mock for Richard, he isn’t in either. Here we go?

Boston’s home whites will feature ‘Boston’ in red letters on the front instead of the usual ‘Red Sox’, in a salute to Boston unity. After the game, the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off to benefit Boston charities. #BostonStrong
