The Greatest MLB Playoff Performance Ever: Shohei Ohtani pitches 6 shutout innings, strikes out 10 batters, and smashes 3 HRs (one of which left Dodger Stadium) to complete the series sweep against the Milwaukee Brewers. The Dodgers' gamble on Ohtani pays off.

I was kinda pulling for Seattle to make their first ever World Series appearance, but at the same time, I'm pretty excited to see Vladdy Jr v Ohtani.

Just how chaotic can a college football schedule get? Virginia is 3-0 in the ACC and 6-1 overall. That one loss was to NC State, fellow ACC-founding team.

Am I crazy to think that once the Heels dig their way out of this Blichick mess that they should go after Franklin? I mean, James Franklin is clearly a great coach and he could do a great job in Chapel Hill. He may not win, or even get them to, a championship game, but at least they would be winning at least 10 games every season.

I was told by an old timey gambler to bet only on an underdog and only then if you feel that they will actually win the game. Also, *never ever* bet on parlays. They are nothing but sucker bets and only chumps put money on them.
When "sports wagering" arrived in NC a year or two ago, I put $100 in an account and have been playing with that money ever since then. I think I'm back up to close to that. But then again, I follow that guy's advice and hardly ever gamble.

Good for him. He still makes a ton of money per season but gives Edmonton 2 seasons to get their shit together and get him and the other stars on the team some real help in other positions. "Can't do it in the next 2 seasons? Later."

LOL. Coach Franklin is sticking around through the end of *that* contract. It's just amazing to me that schools will give out a contract like that. At the very least, there should be some numbers to hit before a coach gets that kind of payout just for getting fired.

Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups charged in illegal poker operation tied to Mafia
It would be interesting to know if Billups was a habitual gambler during his playing games. Organized crime is very good at getting its hooks into pro athletes that gamble, and lose, a lot. It would be strange thinking if he somehow decided just now to work with a crime syndicate this late in his life.
