The Loser Takes on Steroids at ProtradeTv.com

Check out the gambler’s perspective on performance enhancing drugs. Hint: The key is that if perfomance is enhanced to help my team cover the spread…than that is a win-win. Also, hear how last week the Vikings choked worse than Ellen DeGeneres at a Hot Dog Eating Contest.

Bowl Game Selections (Pre January 1)

Nevada (+3) New Mexico
Arizona St. (+2.5) Texas
Michigan St. (+3.5) Boston College

Is It Time to Throw Mickey Mantle Out of Cooperstown?

What a scandalous headline! Let me explain myself before the death threats. Yeah, I’m talking to you, Bill Crystal. In the current climate where if you ever used steroids you cannot make the Hall of Fame, let me offer up my contrarian view. My standards are to reward players who did everything they [...]

Quick Take on the Mitchell Report

The time has come where the media can really sensationalize the whole steroids issue. None of the names surprise me that are on the list. The biggest surprise is that there aren’t more, but it just came down to who they could get some dirt on. Considering that there was no testing going [...]
