After a day’s worth of flying — had a lengthy layover at Dallas/FTW (FTW!) — I landed at McCarran International Airport in Vegas at about 10 p.m. last evening. Garry from PokerNews met me at the baggage carousel, and when my overstuffed bag finally turned up it felt a little like I’d won at roulette
You’d think that at some point someone would have clued Tito Jones in on the fact that he was in a fight and not a sparring match. In fights, you actually have to defeat your opponent, not just rock them and let them recover
Alonzo Martinez, Victor Meza, Jose Chalupa, Chico Gonzales… A whole bunch of people I still don’t know fought and won and lost. Yippee. Boy was that Jay White/Eddie Sanchez bout a non-starter.
After the Magic stole an exceptional game in mid-week, it’s up to the Cavaliers to hit back… Nick Shiambouros looks ahead to the weekend’s match-ups and explains why he’s sticking with Cleveland. The Cleveland Cavaliers were beaten 107-106 by the Orlando Magic on Wednesday in a truly amazing game of basketball.
George Riley’s record in recent weeks shows that fortune favours the brave. This weekend, as our rugby league expert uses his nous to see through “ridiculous” prices on both sides of the Pennines, will you follow his tips for a Bank Holiday profit? Last week’s headline read “Huddersfield are massively under-priced so get opposing them.” Those punters who took the steer from this column will feel pretty pleased with themselves as Salford obliged with a thoroughly deserved win to make a mockery of the odds at which the Giants were trading
Breaking : After Tony Kornheiser’s abrupt firing from Monday Night Football, the bald bitter broadcaster has been spotted roaming around Las Vegas craps tables betting wildly, pounding whiskey and hitting on mature, attractive vixens. He is still on the loose though. Due to his fear of flying, he may be seen busing around town with an enormous and dinosaur-looking man named John Madden.

I can’t say that it’s the most talked about thing in Red Sox Nation, because frankly, no one really wants to talk about it. They’d rather talk about Jason Bay’s great numbers, or Daniel Bard’s premiere, or how great it is to have this much talented pitching. But it’s on everyone’s mind
Timeform dish the dirt on a horse which you won’t want to be putting your money on… Revue Princess bounced back to form at Newcastle on Friday but her overall record suggests that she’s unlikely to follow up. It was a fairly poor race she won and unless facing similarly weak opposition next time, she’s certainly one to avoid. She is best when able to dominate and it’s doubtful she will be able to do this when facing slightly better rivals.
