Still in Brazil caddying for LPGA’s Jimin Kang, today I discuss the highlights of the Brazil Cup.  And, a very big disappointment for young driver JR Hildebrand who slammed into the wall on the last turn of the last lap at the Indy 500 while in 1st place.  Plus, I discuss how Dirk Nowitzki will compare with Dwayne Wade and Lebron James in this year’s NBA Playoff Finals.  Listen to today’s show for more on Jimin Kang and the Brazil Cup, highlights of the Indy 500, trade rumors surrounding Russell Westbrook, and all things NBA Finals!

This Tuesday morning I shed light on the US Hockey team’s disappointing Silver against Canada, and how the force that is Shaun White helped bring in the USA’s second most total medals since 1932.  Back home in the NBA Shaq’s out with a thumb injury, but the Cavs roll on!  I take some time to discuss the status of Dwayne Wade, Paul Pierce, Chris Bosh, the upcoming NFL free agency period, Jordan’s acquisition of the Charlotte Bobcats, and, of course, Brett Favre!

I am here for the Breeders’ Cup and was at Santa Anita to witness the incredible performance by Zenyatta as she won the Classic and remained undefeated. Andrew played a clip of my interview with one of the participants of the American Royal Barbecue Competition. Check out the full video in the photos and video section of the website. The NBA season is underway as Lebron James and the Cavs took on the Knicks in New York. Allen Iverson has left the Memphis Grizzlies for personal reasons and his return is in doubt. An update on some injuries and illnesses and Andrew Bogut’s strong play so far for the Milwaukee Bucks. The NFL action is in full swing with big games later being the New York Giants hosting the San Diego Chargers and the Philadelphia Eagles taking on the Dallas Cowboys tonight.

Miami Hurricanes (H) vs Clemson Tigers (Miami by 4, opened 7)
This line shocked me, Miami ranked 10th at home versus unranked Clemson and the line is only 4 and moved in. The public is on Miami and I will go against them and with the line and take Clemson +4.

Michigan State Spartans (H) vs Iowa Hawkeyes (Michigan St. by 2, opened Iowa by 1)
Iowa is undefeated and ranked 6th, yet underdogs today in East Lansing. I am on Michigan State -2, but Iowa has been doubted before. I can’t resist taking an unranked favored over 6th in the country.

Alabama Crimson Tide (H) vs Tennessee Volunteers (Total 42.5, opened 44.5)
It’s being played at 3:30 it’s on CBS take Under 42.5.

NHL Grand Salami (total goals of all games) 88 goals
I am going to give the Over in the Grand Salami (88) one more shot, it has not been working, but with all 30 teams in action tonight I like its chances.

Clemson +4 (4 out of 5)
Michigan State -2 (3 out of 5)
Under Alabama/Tenn. 42.5 (3 out of 5)
Over Grand Salami 88 (2 out of 5)

UFC 104
I have stated before I am not a fan, but the action is intriguing. The one line move is Joe Stevenson vs Spencer Fisher, line opened (-340/+280 and is now -240/+200). That could be your upset in a “sport?” that sees a lot of chalk.

I dont know if you have ever played blackjack before, but I figured I would give it a shot.
Goon Plainview, NY, USA

I have played blackjack a couple of times, so I will take a stab. Most of the strategy cards have you hit, but I am an aggressive player, so I would double down. I don’t count, but I usually have a feel on if there are a lot of 10s still in the shoe. If I feel there are few 10s left then maybe I would just hit, but I like to get as many chips on the table as possible against 4s, 5s, and 6s. Good luck Goon!

Whats the crack with Brett Favre do you think the old mans wife just doesnt like him at home? How would you feel if your a Minnesota Viking fan?

Horse Racing

I can see with the pace set up today at Saratoga that one of the greatest fillies could get beaten and Rachel Alexandra is at 1/2 in the papers. What are your thoughts on the race today? She will be even money today I think.

General
And finally Chief, I would like to get your thoughts on something that has bothered me since grade 5, if I am standing up do I have a lap?

The Major League Baseball trade deadline passes with Roy Halladay still in Toronto and a few big trades. The Philadelphia Phillies look to repeat, as they add last year’s AL Cy Young award winner, Cliff Lee. The St. Louis Cardinals are already starting to see returns from Matt Holliday as they battle the Chicago Cubs in the NL central. In the NFL, a lot of speculation where Michael Vick will end up. I think he is suited for a team in the south maybe the Carolina Panthers or Tampa Bay, New Orleans, Houston, Jacksonville.  Tiger Woods leads in the Buick Open and looks like he has a clear road for another PGA tour victory, a couple of Aussies are chasing.  Fred Funk leads the way at the US Senior Open with Greg Norman in the hunt.  Michael Phelps does his talking in the pool and earns every penny he gets from Speedo in a dominant performance in the 100-meter butterfly at the World Championships.  Lamar Odom signs a 4-year deal to stay in Los Angeles as the Lakers look like a lock to repeat.  The sad story of Stephon Marbury, a talent wasted.

Orlando hopes to get over the hump by adding Vince Carter as the recession hits the NBA. Fitness optional in baseball? Manny Ramirez makes a splash in the minor leagues as he is about to return from suspension. Mixed Martial Arts just how popular is it in America, has it made the mainstream? USA soccer leads by 2 goals at the half, can Brazil get back in the match?
