Why are yahoo sports articles from Chris Chase sooooo awesome?

It seems that sports like NFL and NBA, give cities reasons to hate each other.
Hockey is also up there in the list, and don’t try going to an MLB Phillies game in another jersey.

American cities hatred for each other will be lesson. Gangsters will have to get creative and find other reasons to hate each other. And we know that gangsters aren’t that creative.

So what do you think?

Gangsters? What?

Most of “sports” related crime is fat drunk white guys beating on each other.

Gang fights/wars are typically over turf or drugs, not what team someone supports.

I award you no points, and may god have mercy upon your soul.

I honestly have the complete opposite view on that. I would much rather have a friendly rivalry play out on a football field instead of an angry rivalry with guns. I have always seen sports as a way to deter not just cities but countries from fighting each other. The olympics does not cause wars, it does create friendly rivalry and competition.

I think you are well intentioned but I just do not agree with you. Granted there is still violence before, during and after sports events but it is minimal, not widespread. Gangs do not recognize civility, they are often indiscriminate in what and how they do the horrible things they do. To put it another way, one has very little to do with the other.

No.Increasing violence is due to faulty education,value system and lack of moral education.Decreasing bondage and love in family,lack of emotional support in family,huge money in hand,rampant sex and drug abuse are the reasons.The church has lost its hold on people.Is it possible to restore moral values?Can you introduce moral education?Can you bring back old joint family?If you can,violence will come down,otherwise forget the issue.

no, we will have more violence.

Gang violence happens within the same city, not between cities. US sport fans are not like European soccer fans – they never fight between each other (probably b/c it would look pathetic compared to what is going on during the game)

training to become an athlete is an alternative to joining a gang. Removing pro sports will remove most of the reason to train.

No, you have faulty thinking and conclusions.

Gangsters by definition are criminals, some are members of organized crime and many are run from behind prison walls.

Gangsters have been depicted in American popular culture in films like The Godfather, War, Hell Up in Harlem and Goodfellas and in television such as The Sopranos.

The Godfather features Italians interested in drugs and hollywood. War is about a former CIA assassin who works for the Japanese Yakuza and then the Chinese Triad boss Li Chang.

Hell Up in Harlem is a blaxploitation film. Goodfellas are casino gamblers, The Sopranos deals with the New Jersey based Italiam-American mobster Tony Soprano.

American cities do not hate each other. Inner city violence is usually about racism, drugs, gang warfare, territorial boundaries, and the reasons are decrease in adult mentors, school failures, decrease in after-school progams and similar failure by adults in the lives of children. Children from poorer neighborhoods often turn to gangs as both protection and a place to find love and understanding.

Police say 80% of crime throughout the country are committed by gang members.

Maybe create a blog or something. I am pretty good at anything that is not college. NHL, NBA, MLB and NFL. I am really good with numbers and keep stats on everything. For the past two years, I have been profitable and I am getting better, but I feel that I need to get to that next level.

what do you mean Ideas???? there are only a few ways to bet. Moneyline, spread, parlay, etc… or do you mean to give your thoughts and “picks” to share.

Keep in mind unless yo ualready have alot of followers/friends it will be hard, there are tons of gambling blogs already out there from professionals.

I have worked for 2 of the biggest Sports Pick Companies in Las Vegas. Trust me when I tell you, they don’t rely on their pick records to convince customers to pay them money. It is a game of deception and arrogance. I know the business inside out and eventually I got so disgusted I had to leave and become a professional gambler on my own. However, let me just say, some of these sports pick companies make several million dollars per year. I know how they do it and what must be done.

I have played with the idea of opening my own website for Sports Picks, because without sounding to arrogant, I know the ins and outs of how they make so much money.

The one thing you need to realize is, NOBODY hits 70% of their ATS bets. I am a 20 year professional and I know more than probably anyone you have ever met, and I hit around 60%, which is darn good. An amateur might hit about 53% (which I certainly did for about a decade). That means the difference between a professional and an amateur is about 6 correct picks out of a 100. A professional should hit about 60 out of 100 picks ATS, whereas an amateur will hit 50% t0 55%.

Don’t ever believe these sports pick companies or an individual when they say they hit 70% or higher on their ATS bets, they are blatantly lying to you.

Many suggest that media and sports are so interconnected each could not stand on its own. There is also no doubt our modern world of experience is at least partially informed by the media. But, how are sports and media interconnected? Do media influence sports related choices and actions? What is the social value of NFL’s Super Bowl, the MLB’s World Series, the PGA Tour/European PGA’s British Open, or the Olympics in full display on national television? How does sports betting exist without sports media?

• Do media influence sports related choices and actions?
  Yes it does, just like media actually influences choices and actions in general.

  What is the social value of NFL’s Super Bowl, the MLB’s World Series, the PGA Tour/European PGA’s British Open, or the Olympics in full display on national television?
  Entertainment for sport lovers and enthusiasts.

  How does sports betting exist without sports media?
  It can’t. You need to follow the sports media in order to find out about the sports results.

rugby pros vs NFL players- could they switch, and how would a match-up look?
im a fan of both sports.
first of all, the people arguing over which is "tougher" and that the other sport is "soft" are idiotic..i can assure you both are very physically demanding, very rough, very brutal, and very challenging.
im american, my main sport is definitely football. im a starting WR for the florida high school 6A state champions, but ive always messed around with rugby.
last year i visited friends in new zealand who play nationally organized rugby junior league [we were all about 16] and played a full game against 2 actual teams [obviously an unofficial game]

so i do know what im talking about.

anyway, im asking a few things:
1. how would a top rugby pro do in the NFL and vice versa; how would they do switched?
2. if the all blacks [ elite world rugby team] played green bay packers in a game of rugby AND football, which side would do better in the other sport?

first for players, i think there are definitely a few who could switch relatively quickly and plausibly make the active roster, and a few who would even do well as starters. for example, jonah lomu was a rugby player. hes about 6’4.5, 275 pounds with VERY little fat [looks like a WR] and ran an estimated 4.5 40…now i bet he could make a damn decent MLB at the NFL level after a little training. likewise, im sure bo jackson could succeed in any sport where he picks up a ball and runs past defenders! both top NFLers and rugbyers are big, strong, and fast. if you’re 250 pounds and can run 100m in under 11 sec, you’re going to be good i na physical game like football/rugby.

the players would have an advantage over non-players of identical size/speed in that they do have some experience playing a somewhat similar game. that being said, rugby and footbal are more different than you think. the rules and gameplay arent really that parallel- they’re two very distinct sports. im 6’3, 225 pounds, run a 4.39 laser 40 [fastest in state] and have full scholarship offers from UF, alabama, UM, georgia and nebraska. so im pretty good. but when i played that rugby game in new zealand, i was the worst guy on the field, and by no means overpowered anyone. and trust me, rugby tackles can be REALLY hard! following the rules was hard enough, and even when i figured it out, i wasnt very good. however, i was able to score using my speed/catching…i was the fastest by a mile, they were amazed at my speed.

here are some problems each team might face:
FOOTBALL players problems playing rugby:
-endurance: stanima would be a serious problem for NFL guys, rugby players are unquestionably superior in stamina.
- skill: overall i must admit rugby takes a little bit more learned skill and ability
- versatility: in rugby, players must serve more roles and be able to adjust far more quickly. everyone WILL touch the bill multiple times in the game. NFL
RUGBY players problems playing football:
- hits: sorry rugbyers, football hits ARE harder. those pads are necessary- being really tough isnt enough, you WILL be injured if you’re hit football style without pads. rugby tackles arent soft either, but they’d be in for a rude awakening.
-specialization: NFLers are REAALLLY good at the position they play because its all they play. having a balanced team lile rugby wouldnt work, you’d need to be individually equal to NFLs in specific positions
-speed: yes, football pauses alot, but pace of gameplay is MUCH faster…lightning speed. rugby players havent seen gameplay that fast. NFL players are definitely faster to.
-size/strength: gotta give NFL slight edge in size strength, especially linemen.

so lets say the green bay packers and all blacks played a game of rugby, and a game of football. obviously each would win their own sport, but who would do better in the "other" sport?

im know im biased, but i gotta go with NFL doing the better job. i dont see rugby defense having any clue how to stop 30 yard passes to WR, and NFL would score at will. rugby offense playing football might score with runs short passes, but adjusting would be too difficult.
in the rugby game, NFL would lose, but i think everyone in a while a speedy WR or RB could run one in. again, put a ball in bo jacksons hand and he’ll make magic. the fast NFL defense could give the rugby offense more trouble then they’d expect

Really? Do you see honestly see any NFL player having the slightest chance of going for the full eighty minutes? Without a breather after every tackle and without endless substitutions? These guys have spent a lifetime training for a sport played in 5 second bursts, and they are great for those five seconds. But cardio is not exactly high on their training priorities list.

And do you really see any NFL runner coping with an offense where there is no blocking and offloading during the tackle is utterly critical to run a successful offense. Bo Jackson might be great — until he went down. Then it would be a turnover every time as he would have absolutely no offloading skills.

The fact of the matter is that both sports are so completely different — and take a lifetime of training to compete at an elite level — that each team would be utterly hopeless at the other sport. Forget the All-Blacks. Any fourth-level English semi-pro club would crush the Packers in a rugby match. As would any Division III NCAA college team crush the All-Blacks at American football should they find themselves on a gridiron pitch.

So my question is why compare rugby and gridiron? You might as well choose basketball and ice hockey. It makes as much sense.

NFL players by majority are; faster (guys running 4.1 over forty on every team), stronger (hundreds of players benching 750lbs and squatting 800lbs) and bigger (linebackers average 6’4 250lbs, lineman 6’6 350lbs) and most of the NFL is comprised of African Americans who are naturally & genetically gifted athletes who have dominated all physical sports from the time they were given permission to compete in white man sports!

The only thing Rugby players trump NFL players in is overall endurance & stamina. Rugby is played at 75% at a non-stop pace, but no-one is ever going 100%. NFL is played at 100% from play to play utilising fast twitch muscle fibers. NFL football is way more high impact, high collision than Rugby and it would take Rugby players a long time to adjust to getting hit that hard. It would also be hard for NFL players to adjust to non-stop football. I think NFL players are in general better all-round athletes and are the best money can buy (the fact that 1 NFL team is worth more than several pro Rugby teams certainly gives the NFL an advantage in scouting and buying anyone in the world they think could cut it) bottom line is it could be done but with great difficulty.

Comparing the sports is ludicrous, one is all about endurance and all round skill the other is all about speed and individual skill base ie one is big another fast etc

That said NFL players would struggle with the absolute lack of tackling technique. With their lead with the head technique and dive at the knees in their “more physical” less brains way of bringing an opponent down they would get knocked out within two minutes.
Rugby players would struggle with a lack of size in general although if they did not have to worry about cardio and just weights or speed i am sure they would adjust.

But the real question is why do NFL fans have to come on to a rugby site to justify their supposed dominance….insecure much.

That’s a BIG question!

I have played rugby all my life, and American football for about 7 years, so I too have a decent background to answer this question.

Quite simply, the level of specialisation and training a player needs to put in to play at either NFL or international rugby level is so great that neither could really switch with any degree of success.

The only players who seem able to switch codes are the AFL players who go into the NFL as punters, and then only because that one skill is transferable (to some degree).

Given the time and inclination, I am sure some players could transfer, but I don’t think it would be worth it in the long run – as they would be relative rookies going up against guys who had played the game since they were children. You would be looking at the guys who are superb athletes to start with, guys like Sonny Bill Williams, Pierre Spies, David Pocock, Adrian Peterson, Greg Jennings, Clay Matthews (yeah I’m a Packers fan, whatever!).

Would it be worth unlearning a lifetime worth of lessons to go from being a star in one sport to merely competent in another? I doubt many players would think so – and yet who knows?

MLB baseball sports betting and news

The projected National League sports betting contenders for 2011 are back at or near the top of their respective divisions this season, and there is little doubt why. Consistent pitching, timely hitting, and a little luck has the Philadelphia Phillies leading the way in the NL, a run they will look to continue Wednesday when they send another one of their superstar pitchers to the mound.

Milwaukee Brewers @ Philadelphia Phillies

Wednesday, 1:05 PM ET

The Phillies are back at the top of the NL East standings, and there is no reason to pretend that it isnt obvious why. Armed with arguably the deepest pitching rotation in the majors Philadelphia ranks at the top of the NL in terms of runs allowed, a trend that is likely to continue on Wednesday when they send one of their potential Cy Young candidates to the mound. Cliff Lee bounced back from a tough loss to the Atlanta Braves to strike out 12 batters and allow just three hits in a complete game win over the Washington Nationals in his last start, and will look to put together another strong performance. Chris Narveson is no slouch for Milwaukee, but Lee gets the edge and the Phillies have done a better job so far this year in MLB betting terms of run support.

MLB Betting Pick: Philadelphia Phillies.

San Diego Padres @ Chicago Cubs

Wednesday, 2:20 PM ET

While the Phillies have one of the deepest staffs in the majors, Chicago has really struggled to get consistent play from its starting rotation. The Cubs will look to Matt Garza on Wednesday, hoping that he can provide just enough to get them past a struggling San Diego team at home. Garza is 0-2 on the year, and has given up five earned runs in consecutive starts, and unless he has an incredible outing Chicago will have little shot against Aaron Harang and the Padres. Harang is 3-0 with a 1.50 ERA, and his lights out pitching has been one of the few bright spots for the Padres this year.

MLB Betting Pick: San Diego Padres

Washington Nationals @ St. Louis Cardinals

Wednesday, 8:15 PM ET

Jaime Garcia has been solid for the Cardinals early on, allowing no more than two runs in any of his three starts this season. Garcia shut out the Padres in his first start of 2011, and will have another quality opportunity to put up similar numbers against a Nationals team that is due to cool down. Garcia gets the edge in the pitching duel with Washington starter Jordan Zimmerman, and the Cardinals get the sports betting bonus job done at home.

MLB Betting Pick: St. Louis Cardinals

Atlanta Braves @ Los Angeles Dodgers

Wednesday, 10:10 PM ET

The Braves knew it wouldnt be easy to compete with the Phillies in the NL East after their division rivals re-acquired Lee in the offseason. Theyll continue to chase Philadelphia on Wednesday when they send Derek Lowe to the mound to pitch against his former team. Lowe has been solid early on this season for Atlanta, but his 2-2 record is every indication that he has not gotten the run support that he needs. That should change as the Braves bats tee off against Los Angeles starter Jon Garland, who allowed five earned runs in four innings of work against the Cardinals in his only start so far.

MLB Betting Pick: Atlanta Braves

MLB baseball sports betting and news

There are a few updates to articles we posted earlier this week. A couple of them involve the upcoming Super Bowl, with injury drama from both the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Green Bay Packers. Another story involves the partial sale of the New York Mets due to fallout from the owners’ involvement with Bernie Madoff. And the final update is related to Memphis Grizzlies guard O.J. Mayo.

First of all, the news from the Pittsburgh Steelers is that their rookie center Maurkice Pouncey will not be playing in the Super Bowl game next weekend. He had been questionable but mostly out of the game due to an ankle injury he sustained during the AFC championship game against the New York Jets. Now it is known that Pouncey has a fractured ankle, as well as a high ankle sprain, which will keep him out of the big game.

Packers bets

Moving on to the Green Bay Packers, everyone remembers the side show with the injured reserve players not being in the Super Bowl team picture. Everything seemed to be ironed out when the photo was rescheduled to include all the players. But then quarterback Aaron Rodgers made some controversial statements to the press about the injured players choice of rehab locations. Linebacker Nick Barnett seemed a bit offended. Now it is reported that Rodgers called Barnett to clear the air, and now everything seems to be better between the two.

In baseball news, the New York Mets’ owners may put a portion of the team for sale. Martin Luther King III has expressed interested in buying a share of the team. He is part of a group of interested parties who may want to purchase partial ownership of the Mets from Fred Wilpon and his son Jeff Wilpon. The Wilpons have been considering offering 20-25% of the team for sale, and King has expressed interest in being a 50% owner. So obviously, some details need to be ironed out.

Super Bowl bets

Finally, after O.J. Mayo of the Memphis Grizzlies tested positive for DHEA, a steroid banned by the NBA, he was suspended for 10 games. Mayo now states that he picked up an energy drink from a local gas station, which caused him to test positive for the substance. Unfortunately, Mayo’s third season in the NBA has been filled with drama and controversy. He has lost his starting position, gotten into a fight with a teammate over a card game, and his father was charged with attempted murder this past December. The suspension is only the latest problem for him.
