Jankovic and Oudin on Collision Course at Stanford
Stanford, USA – It has been some time (scandalously so) since I have turned to women’s tennis and put together some free picks for the tennis betting hamlet at BetUS. Fo shame!!

Where will Michael Vick Land?
JAY’S WAYS
Michael Vick Edition
WHICH TEAM SHOULD SIGN MICHAEL VICK? I’VE GOT THE ANSWER
The Michael Vick rumors are flying, which is to be expected.
There was strong speculation that Vick would be brought in to talk to the New England Patriots (+575 to win the Super Bowl at BetUS), and frankly, I’m not sure what the basis of all that was, because I read Bill Belichick’s quotes and I don’t think there’s any way you could get the impression that there was real interest in Vick, just because Belichick didn’t blow the idea out of the water outright.

LeBron Posterized – Tapes Confiscated, $50,000 Reward Offered
LeBron James basketball camp is supposed to be for young kids to learn, grow their basketball skills and have some fun.
Apparently it’s not all just fun and games for everyone.
Recently, at LeBron James Skills Academy, James and four teammates (Cavs players James, Danny Green, Tarence Kinsey, Christian Eyenga, and James’ high school teammate Romeo Travis) played a five-on-five game against five college players, including Xavier transfer Jordan Crawford.
Crawford, drove to the basket on a play and slammed home a dunk over LeBron James, which set off quite the uproar.
Most people understand that basketball is an offensive game and points are scored in the 100’s, which means each team scores roughly 40-50 baskets a game.

CONCACAF Gold Cup 2009 Quarterfinals – USA vs. Panama
European champions Spain can vouch for the credentials of the US football team as they were shocked by the American juggernaut at the Confederations Cup semi-finals earlier last month. Bob Bradley’s team went on to the final where they very nearly shocked Brazil after taking the 2-0 lead, before acceding 3 goals and bowing out with a runner-up finish. It is not the same calibre of players that made their way to the CONCACAF Gold Cup 2009 competition to defend their title.
