Jerry World and the Dallas Cowboys won the 2011 SuperBowl hosting  bid.

How could anyone with the general information be surprised!

The three finalists were Arizona, Indianapolis and Jerry Worlds' Cowboys.

How did the Cowboys win the bid?

It was simple, the other two finalists were easy to disqualify in comparison!

1-Arizona hosts the 2008 SuperBowl and can be eliminated.

2-The new Indy stadium holds 63,000 and Jerry World seats 95,000, with room to shoehorn in another 7,000 easily, as Standing Room Only.   Jerry World will put an additional $25,000,000 into the hands of the NFL from ticket sales alone(assuming tickets have jumped to $800).

The Jerry Jones has set the bar very high for SuperBowls of the future.  Unless the host stadium is extremely large, don't let your local NFL franchise bid on the game.

Indy can kiss off any future SuperBowl bids with that small stadium.

The SuperBowl is about money, lots of money.  

The new Cowboys stadium was the only choice of the three finalists.   The vote was just for show and should be acknowledged as such.

Disclaimer:  The poster is NOT a Cowboys fan, yet has learned to tolerate the team and fans.

Curlin won the Preakness by a nose, which is about 12 inches if you're a horse or saw the replay.

The payout was $8.80 on a $2 bet.

I picked Street Sense to win; I didn't bet the race since the odds s-u-c-k-e-d.    I won't take virtually even money on a favorite, ever.  Too many bad things happen.   Since I didn't bet the race, I bet myself I could drink two beers from the start to the end of the race.  I still got it!

I don't expect many to respond to this instant BLOG and I don't care.  Yet, I know Nostradamus will be here.

Some of us were fortunate enough to grow up near a track.  In my case, it was Ak-sar-ben(Nebraska spelled backwards...rocket science from the Midwest and a popular Johnny Carson comment).  The track used to have the largest mutuel handle in the nation, yet wasn' regarded as a national player.  It was in Omaha, NE.  I worked in a sporting goods wholesaler/retalier while in college and was fortunate enought to have plenty of doggy owners, er, racehorse owners come into the store and talk about their horses.

The first track bet I ever made was on the Maiden Race for a gelding.  She went off at 40-1.  I bet $50 on her twenty years ago.  She won.  You do the math.   The owner said the horse set an unofficial track record.  I mentioned this to the lawyer(scumbag)brother of my best friend.  Suddenly, I had lawyers calling me at home for racing tips.  My Dad laughed his A-S-S off and my Mom was concerned.

Right there, I was hooked on horse racing(not harness racing, which is fixed...hahahahaha).  When I hit that first bet, I went home and dropped $100 dollar bills in my Dad's hands, telling him that I was re-paying him for paying my college tuition.  I told Dad that I would always pay him half of my winnings to pay for college. 

You can watch movies about the racetrack and you'll laugh, yet the stereotypes are correct.  Plenty of fools are hyping a horse they don't bet on.  They're trying to increase their odds.  That's the real world.

When I did graduate, the track had paid for my 4 years of college and I was proud every time I brought my Dad cash.  I know he was really happy.  I still remember the first and only time my Dad poured me a drink of Whiskey, three fingers and three ice cubes.  His advice was priceless.  "Put the same effort into becoming a better man as you have into paying Mom and I for your college."

Since then, I have loved horse racing.

I've gambled on Quarter Horses in Vinton, LA.  I'm so ashamed.

To this day, I watch every Triple Crown race, hoping that some lucky horsey will win the big enchilada....all three races.

It's become apparent that winning the Triple Crown is harder than winning Back To Back NCAA Football National Championships.

This year, no horse will win the Triple Crown, again.

Numerous news outlets are reporting that Ricky No-Seeds Williams has tested positive for Marijuana again.

This will disqualify the known doper from NFL reinstatement.

Is anyone really shocked by this?

Hopefully he can fall back on his anticipated career as an aroma therapist or massage representative.  (the site just bleeped the word t-h-e-r-a-p-i-s-t)

Add Culpepper's anticipated absence from the Dolphins this year and we have a franchise in transition.

With the multi-million dollar signing bonuses, some NFL low-lifes have enough to retire on at their original contract signing.  There's no need to honor the legal contract and perform.

It's time for Ricky to be purged from all media discussions.

Calgon take me away!

NY Yankees pitching is just plain bad.

Yankees pitcher, Chase Wright, gave up Back-to-Back-to-Back-to-Back homers on Saturday night.  Wright was called up from Double A to pitch.  He's been optioned back to Double A.  Boston is teary eyed  for the send down.  Beantowners dig the long ball!

Today, the Yankees have reactivated Chien Min Wang from the disabled list after a leg/groin injury.  Chien and his $500,000.00 salary are scheduled to pitch in Florida tonight.

The starting Yankee rotation does NOT include DL listers Mike Mussina or Carl Pavano, whose combined salary is $21,000,000.00    That's big money to those of us not in the AL East.

In a few weeks, the Annual Roger Clemens Buy Me For a Prorated $25,000,000.00 auction will begin.  Ability or not Clemens makes baseball look bad with his annual antics.  Complain that poor Roger's body won't let him pitch a whole season.  This is all about Roger doing his best AnnaNicole impression to put his name in every sportscast.   The annual act is old, like Roger.

The Yankees will be standing in line early to hand in their Clemens bid.  Having lost out on Dice K, the Yankees need pitching yesterday.  Clemens is a known commodity and Steinbrenner will bid and bid high.  Adding Clemens means Boston doesn't have him.  That's like adding two pitchers.  I suggest also buying Dontrelle Willis from Florida.   Dontrelle's current salary of $6,5000,000 is far less than Clemens'.  The Yankees will need to add a few years to the contract.   Pay the man and give the Marlins whatever they ask.   Offer Dontrelle's newborn guaranteed enrollment in an exclusive Manhattan pre-school to close the deal.

The Yankees were once known for their farm system and pitcher development.  The past years have shown the decline. 

Stay tuned for more on SportsCenter starting May 15@ 6am, 7am, 8am, 9am, 10am, etc.   The NYPost will update you daily.

It's springtime.   NCAA Basketball and the Masters are over.   Hopefully, by June the NBA and NHL playoffs will be complete.

You know wha that means!

ESPN and FOX hire additional staffers, who have always lived in the New England/NY area, to talk about what they will force down the throats of sports fans for the next six months.  Yankees vs. Sox.

Here we go again.  Non stop, till the end of  World Series, it's SportsCenter, leading off with the lastest Jeter/A-Rod love triangle.   The crowd chants Jee-tuh, Jee-tuh, and on the network feed it's Alex crying and asking, "When will I be loved!"

FOXSports will fan the same flames, feeding us drivel about Dice-K and his translator's parallel parking issues.  Tim McCarver will rent a Kia or Hyundai and show us how to parallel park, all the while, talking down to the viewer.

Whatever the MLB network contract limit is for national telecasts of one team, rest assured that the Yankees will max it out, and a way will be found for every Yankees vs. Sox game to be broadcast nationally.

There are twenty something other MLB baseball teams out there, not counting KC; we don't hear about other teams, unless a player is busted for DUI or caught in a Yugo with a transvestite-midget-hooker-wrestler.(Thanks Eddie Murphy.)

The reality is that the majority of baseball fans don't care or are sick of  the Yankees and Red Sox.  Ever heard of over exposure?  Have you listened to an East Coaster complain about the starting time of West Coast games?  It's comical. "Cricket and I had to stay up till 2am to see the Yankees beat Seattle 27-0.  How do those West Coasties stay up so late?  Is it the coffee?  We watched Seinfeld during commercials."

It's humerous when any Red Sox fan mentions the unfairness of the Yankees payroll, which is the highest in the Western Hemisphere.   The Red Sox, historically, have the second highest.  Hey Boston, relocate and force reallignment!

Game on!

Make me pick a team and I'll cheer for Boston, every time, because they're not New York, home of the media and network control.

Calgon take me away!
