Not hanging it up just yet

With but a day to go until the big game, some very good news for all football fans for next year.

Brett Favre has announced he will be coming back next year.

Anyone who is a fan of all that is right with the NFL (and god knows there is alot that is not) must be happy with this news.

Even if he isn't the QB he once was, he's still #4, and to get one more season to watch him ply his trade on the frozen tundra is nothing but fabulous.

TWO DAYS AND COUNTING!!!

The stadium may be silent now, but just wait till Sunday. I hope you've already ordered your pizza, your wings, your dip, and of course, your beverages. Because all of the above may be in short supply over the next 48 hours

Colts/Bears. 6:25pm Sunday. Bet it at www.BetBug.com

Meet your Eastern Conference All Star Power Forward

How about those Raptors. Playing better as of late and now a STARTER in the All Star Game. Still not to late to grab them at a juicy +4000 to win the NBA Title at www.BetBug.com either.

Oh and btw, I notice a certain former Raptor didn't quite make the old starting line up.

Don't let that door hit you on the way out Vince!

One Win to go Peyton

Well we know he can now at least get to the Super Bowl. Whether or not he can win the big one is entirely still up for debate.

With a week to go, at BetBug, the Colts are 6.5 point favourites to win it all. I am leaning towards Chicago at this point, but still need to digest all the week's hype and info before finally making a final pick for the game.

Certainly I don't imagine Mr. Manning will be partaking in too much of the Miami night life. For all Colts fans sake's he had better not be.

The X-Games

Who even knew ESPN had a site EXPN, devoted to the X-games. There is no betting on this stuff, but hell it just looks beyond cool.

Mind you it also looks beyond difficult.

But hell, at least these kids will grow up to embrace the outdoors and fitness, instead of the modern sedentary life style that leads to being unable to embrace just about anything!

Even fatties can win!

I'm not sure which way to take Serena's big Aussie Open victory.

Either it says she is literally one of the greatest, if not the best, female tennis player of all time, able to win even in less than peak condition due to her astounding athletism...

OR

The Womens tour is just so god awful that even FAT CHICKS off for months with hardly any match play in TWO YEARS can win majors.

Yikes.

No Football this weekend!!!! What's a bettor to do???

Why take up the challenge of college basketball of course.

On Saturday alone, BetBug will have at a minimum 60 college hoops games up for wagering. So if you can divine even just a couple of winners and outcomes in those many games, you will not even miss the lack of the gridiron, for the first time since September.

And you had better get used to that deficit of footy. After next week, it's a long cold spring and summer till training camps begin.

NHL ALL STAR GAME

Dallas is the site of the All Star Game tonight and while it promises to feature it's regular amount of excessive scoring and no hitting, (take the OVER at www.BetBug.com) it also is a show case for the new tighter fitting uniforms that the NHL plans on debuting next year.

The idea of putting hockey players in tighter uniforms is stupid of course. The only position on the ice in need of tighter uni's is of course the goalie. But Bettman is determined to "streamline" the league and this is another in a series of attempts on his part to do it.

Stupid is a stupid does I guess.

A brief hockey hiatus

Well this week is the NHL All Star Break so perhaps it's a good time to take a look back and then a look ahead at the season so far and to come.

Clearly the individual story of the year in the NHL to this point is the emergence of Crosby as the best player in the game. He is so far ahead of anyone else at just the age of 19, well one wonders just how good he will become eventually.

On a team basis, Buffalo and Anaheim have been the standard bearers for their conferences for most of the first half. But both has shown some recent slippage allowing teams like Ottawa, Nashville, Vancouver, and New Jersey to perhaps believe they can make a run in the season's second half.

At BetBug you can still get both Ottawa and Vancouver at decent prices to win the Cup and I can certainly think of worse wagers than those.

NFL CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Well this is the day. At around 9pm tonight we will know the two combatents in the Super Bowl.

Chicago hosts New Orleans and then Indianapolis, on the strength of their regular season victory over New England, hosts the Patriots.

www.BetBug.com has both games covered with spread, totals, and moneylines. And if you think even that perhaps you can divine the future just two short weeks away, well futures are up for your betting pleasure as well.
