It was the top of the sixth inning... the rain was coming down in torrents... the Phillies, one win away from clinching the city of Philadelphia's first major championship since 1983, leading the Rays 2-1... no rule on ...

No bullshit this week... let's get right to it. Home team in CAPS.
Oakland (+7) over BALTIMORE
Oakland's offense is putrid... but Baltimore's ins't much better. This game features a match-up of two young quarterbacks, Jamarcus Russell and Joey Flacco, going up against similar aggressive defenses. Russell, in particular, will have to bring is ...

In all honesty, I'm surprised that it took this long. Numerous news sources are reporting that as many as, and possibly more than, fifteen NFL players have cases pending with the league for violations of the NFL's substance abuse policy.
