Eric Gargiulo presents Tailgating And Drinking Nightmares. Why Are fans Killing Phillies Baseball? posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Before this story even begins I feel the need to start with this disclaimer. I enjoy some tailgating, the smell of freshly barbecued food, a nice ice-cold beer and the company of fans and friends alike. Nothing starts off an event like some fun games, some music, and yes maybe even getting a little bit tipsy. Hey I’m human, and like most I love a good party. However what has been going on lately before, during and after Phillies games at Citizens Bank Park, is no party!"

basketball

Steve presents Steve wrote a new blog post: 2009 Lakers Rockets Playoff Matchup posted at FryingPan Sports, saying, "The 2009 Lakers had a hiccup on the way to their 2009 title when they faced Houston early in the playoffs."

Eric Gargiulo presents NBA Playoff Betting ? Spurs try to avoid 0-2 hole in the desert posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "NBA playoff betting players should have renewed faith in Phoenix during this postseason, as this edition of the run-and-gun Suns is far improved from years past, and San Antonio got their first taste of the Suns on Monday. Game 2 goes on Wednesday night."

football

Eric Gargiulo presents Inside The Wheelhouse: Should the Pittsburgh Steelers draft a QB at 18? posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "With all the latest “Big Ben” drama coming out of Pittsburgh in the last month and a potential suspension on the rise, one has to wonder as we are days away from the NFL Draft whether or not the Pittsburgh Steelers will go out and select a Quarterback with their 18th overall pick. Ben Roethlisberger is going to get suspended from the NFL without a doubt. If he does not for some reason Roger Goodell will be looking at a ton of backlash from the media, fans and support groups alike."

Eric Gargiulo presents Drew Brees Gets the Madden Cover & the Curse posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Madden 2011 cover will feature Drew Brees. The New Orleans Saints quarterback was voted by fans to be the new Madden 11 cover. Beware of the Madden Curse New Orleans Saints fans. Did most of those votes come from Minneapolis?"

Eric Gargiulo presents Madden 11 Dual Stick Control Preview ? Video posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Madden 11 countdown officially began when Drew Brees announced that he would grace the Madden 11 cover.

The newest Madden 11 video features Dual Stick Controls, something new to this year’s Madden video game."

Ak Agarwal presents New England Patriots’ 2010 Draft Grades: Rounds One to Four posted at NESO'S TAKE, saying, "Analysis on the early rounds of the New England Patriots' draft."

hockey

Eric Gargiulo presents NHL Playoff Betting ? Busy night on the ice on Friday posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Buffalo Sabres should be favored at home, but they're in a 3-1 hole after dropping Game 4's double-overtime thriller by a score of 3-2. Miroslav Satan notched the winner, while Boston Bruin's Tuukka Rask and Buffalo's Ryan Miller put on a goaltending clinic."

Eric Gargiulo presents NHL Game 1 Preview: Philadelphia Flyers at Boston Bruins posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "This Easter Conference semi-final match-up is not one that the sports betting experts saw coming at all. The NHL odds had the Boston Bruins losing to the Buffalo Sabres in the first round, and the Philadelphia Flyers were not even supposed to have a chance against the New Jersey Devils. But this NHL game preview is about a game one between two teams that wanted it more than the favorites did. It is also about how unpredictable NHL playoff betting can really be."

Eric Gargiulo presents HBO?s Broad Street Bullies Pays Tribute To The Legendary Flyers posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Last month I found myself in a very fortunate position amongst only 5,000 other Philadelphia Flyers faithful who were fortunate enough to land an invite to a very special screening of the new HBO Sports documentary titled, “The Broad Street Bullies“. Bullies took a look back at the back to back Stanley Cup Champion Philadelphia Flyers teams of 1973-74 and 1974-75. It was as brilliant a documentary as HBO has ever produced, and the special evening brought to us by Flyers chairman Ed Snider did not disappoint in anyway."

mma

Eric Gargiulo presents Brock Lesnar’s Next Fight Officially Signed posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The question about Brock Lesnar’s next fight has officially been answered. Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin has been reportedly signed for UFC 116. The on again/off again UFC heavyweight title match will see Brock Lesnar fight for the first time in just under one year."

Eric Gargiulo presents UFC 2010 Undisputed Full Roster & Demo Release Date posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The long awaited list of the UFC Undisputed 2010 full roster has been released. The video game will feature new UFC Undisputed 2010 fighters, game store exclusives, and exclusive PS3 legends. You won’t have to wait long to start playing UFC Undisputed 2010. The UFC Undisputed 2010 demo will be released this Thursday."

Eric Gargiulo presents UFC Making A Run At Jake Shields posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Strikeforce middleweight champion Jake Shields has gone from the most boring fighter in MMA to the hottest MMA free agent. Dana White has turned all of his attention to Jake Shields and claims that he will sign Shields to the UFC. Is Jake Shields a great UFC addition or fool’s gold?"

Eric Gargiulo presents Does UFC have a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Blockbuster? posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Floyd Mayweather vs. Shane Mosley boxing fight is predicted to do 1.5 million buys. That number is just short of UFC’s biggest show, UFC 100. Early estimates for a Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao fight are between two and three million buys. With such a big Mega Fight on the table in boxing, one has to wonder if the UFC can deliver the same numbers for MMA?"

Marcelo presents March Madness - East Region March 20th posted at March Madness Info.

Baseball

Eric Gargiulo presents Who is the beast of the NL East? ? Part 1 posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Philadelphia Phillies - The back-to-back National League Champions are only better than they were last season when they went to the World Series. Their offense focused around extreme power has seen few speed bumps in their road to the playoffs and they finally have the front line pitcher to keep them ahead in the race."

Eric Gargiulo presents Who is the beast of the NL East? ? Part 1 posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Florida Marlins are the sad kid in school that everyone feels sorry for. They have so much potential but no one there to look out for them. This team has practically no money in the bank, and anyone who is anyone in a Marlins uniform doesn’t need to waste his time unpacking in Miami, as they will be traded for cheaper options. This is a key reason that no fans show to games, keeping the team further in debt."

Basketball

Eric Gargiulo presents College Basketball Odds ? Hurricanes look to blow away Hokies posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Miami Hurricanes vs Virginia Tech Hokies odds – Friday, March 12, 2:00 PM ET. Freshman Reggie Johnson had the game of his life as the Hurricanes pasted Wake Forest 83-62 on Thursday, hitting all eight of his field-goal attempts, and he went 6-of-6 at the foul line for a season-high 22 points. James Dews added 15 points for the Hurricanes, who shot 51.7% from the floor while holding the Demon Deacons to 35.1%, including 4-of-17 from beyond the arc."

Eric Gargiulo presents Bracket Racket: Talking The NCAA Tournament posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "It is NCAA March Madness time again. Attention all bosses or managers etc., let's not give Bill from accounting a hard time today, he has brackets to fill out, like just about every other red-blooded American does this time of year."

Eric Gargiulo presents NCAA Tournament First Round Odds and Picks posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Butler ran the table in the Horizon League going 18-0 and wasn’t really challenged along the way. Led by G/F Gordon Hayward (15.4 points, 8.5 rebounds), F Matt Howard (12.3 points, 5.4 rebounds) and G Shelvin Mack (13.9 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.1 assists) the Bulldogs are a small team and don’t have a true center. Butler’s veteran presence and extreme ball movement skills will be up against a physical bunch in the University of Texas El-Paso Miners."

Eric Gargiulo presents March Madness Betting – Battle of The Tigers posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Missouri Tigers vs Clemson Tigers odds – Friday, March 19, 2:45 PM ET. The Tigers, a tenth seed in the East region, stumbled down the Big 12 stretch, losing three of their last four, and their lone win came in overtime at lowly Iowa State. Mizzou is a run-and-gun team that shoots three-pointers at a 37.1% clip, and the main gunners are Kim English and Marcus Denmon."

AndrosenDsouza presents 50 Unbelievable Sports Clips on YouTube Worth Watching posted at Sports Management Degree, saying, "If you have a little extra time on your hands, you might want to watch some sports bloopers, amazing extreme sports and some of the best football tackles of all time. No need to spend time searching, though, as we’ve already compiled a list of 50 unbelievable sports clips from YouTube."

Eric Gargiulo presents NBA Betting Lines- Orlando Magic vs. Atlanta Hawks posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Orlando Magic are playing some of their best basketball of the season down the stretch, winning three straight and nine of their last ten games to pull away from both the Boston Celtics and the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern conference."

Football

Michael presents 2011 Offensive Lineman Michael Bennett is Weighing Every Option posted at eScoutRoom, saying, "Michael Bennett is quickly receiving many scholarship offers to become a member of the biggest 2011 football recruiting classes."

Diane Steward presents Top 50 Official Blogs by Professional Athletes posted at sports management, saying, "Technology and the Internet have made it possible for professional athletes to interact with fans via blogs and through social media, like Twitter. Indeed, some sports agents encourage blogging and social media use by professional athletes as a way to further promote the “brand.”"

Eric Gargiulo presents Craigslist Cleveland Browns Style? From Bad To Worse posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Usually when something starts to turn, “brown” it means it is going stale. Most fruits and vegetables tend to get that way when they are about to expire. Apparently when football goes bad it also turns “brown” as in the Cleveland Browns. Can you just imagine this Craigslist ad in Cleveland, Ohio under Free Stuff: “Free stuff not needed, first come first serve. We need to unload all Quarterbacks, Half-Backs, Wide Receivers, Line-backers etc. Everything must go by April 22nd. Will also accept your unwanted draft picks. For details contact Mike H@ClevelandBrowns.com”."

Morgan Schwartz presents Beef It Up! posted at Omaha.net - Local Writing from the Heartland, saying, "thanks!"

Hockey

Eric Gargiulo presents Philadelphia Flyers Woes Continue posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Since the Olympic break, the Philadelphia Flyers have been 4-1-1. Before the break the Flyers were in the 8 games prior were 6-2. Those numbers are misleading by many standards. The Flyers were maybe the hottest team in the NHL prior to the break."

Eric Gargiulo presents NHL Betting Preview: Montreal Canadiens vs. New York Rangers posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Montreal Canadiens and the New York Rangers are two teams in search of a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. The sports betting world remembers these two teams at the beginning of the season when both were having a difficult time winning games. With all of the March Madness odds going on, the fact that both teams are now looking towards the playoffs can sometimes be lost. The sportsbook reviews for this upcoming Canadiens at Rangers game are much different than they were at the beginning of the season."

Eric Gargiulo presents Injury Bug Plagues Philadelphia Flyers posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Philadelphia Flyers lost Michael Leighton late in the first period of Wednesday March 16, 2010 game against Nashville Predators. Leighton was making a save and fell backwards onto his leg. Leighton later said he heard a “pop” noise while falling. A pop noise is never good in an injury. This could possibly be ligaments or tendons, which take weeks to heal."

Eric Gargiulo presents No Fire Power Flyers posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "On Sunday night the Philadelphia Flyers squared off against the Atlanta Thrashers. After taking a beating in Atlanta the night before, the Flyers knew they needed to come firing the puck. Before the game Flyer's Coach Peter Laviolette addressed this by changing his lines."

Eric Gargiulo presents NHL Game Preview: Penguins vs. Capitals posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "While sports betting experts debate the newest March madness odds, the NHL races towards the playoffs with the lower-tiered teams fighting for their playoff lives. At the top of the heap are many of the same teams that were top contenders last year. At the very top of the price per head odds for winning the Stanley Cup are the Washington Capitals and the defending champion Pittsburgh Penguins."

Eric Gargiulo presents Injury Bug Bites Philadelphia Flyers Again posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "During the Philadelphia Flyers vs. Atlanta Thrashers game on March 21, 2010 Jeff Carter was blocking a shot and took a puck to the side of his left foot. Carter stated, "It was a harmless play, kind of took one off the side. I went home last night and it started getting worse and worse."

Other

Eric Gargiulo presents Rumor: Rich Franklin In, Tito Ortiz Out of TUF 11 posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "News broke over the last few days that Rich Franklin replaced Tito Ortiz during the tapings of The Ultimate Fighter season 11. Further news indicates that Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin is all but set for UFC 115 with the future of Tito Ortiz in serious doubt."

Eric Gargiulo presents Dana White Was Right About Fedor Emelianenko posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "I have been fairly critical of UFC president Dana White over the last year. My criticism was at an all-time high when negotiations between the UFC and Fedor Emelianenko broke down last year. However, seven moths later and it looks like Dana White was correct all along about Fedor, M-1, and those “crazy Russians.”"

Eric Gargiulo presents UFC on Versus: Preview and Predictions posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "This Sunday the UFC debuts on a network other than Spike TV: Versus (congratulations to any DirecTV subscribers reading). This will be the first of two shows on the cable-owned sports network and could help send more eyeballs to sibling WEC’s shows in the future. I’ve already had my first shot of Jameson (Happy St Patrick’s Day everyone, btw) so let’s get to the main card:"

James O'Connor presents Converse Trainers - Information & Review posted at UK Designer Fashion Blog - Designer Clothing Info - Men's & Women's Brands, saying, "Information about Converse trainers, one of the leading brands of mens and womens trainers worldwide."

Brutusreport Blogspot Sports Carnival - March 11, 2010

Welcome to the March 11, 2010 edition of Brutusreport Blogspot Sports Carnival. We have some great stories once again from many of the popular writers and some new ones. Eric Gargiulo starts off with some NFL free agent articles including one on the most memorable Eagles trades. Eric also looks at two running backs that might get another chance but might be done, LaDainian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook. Steve Patterson has an article on Ohio State rapping up their Basketball season on top of the Big Ten and wants to know if the NHL can capitalize on the success of the Olympic Hockey gold matches. Finally, Harold Gelien has 50 athletes you can follow on Twitter. Sounds like a lot of fun seeing what these great athletes are doing on a daily basis. Make sure to bookmark, share, and come back in 14 days for another edition.

Eric Gargiulo presents Looking Back At Ten Philadelphia Eagles Memorable Trades posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Philadelphia Eagles have had some major success throughout the history of the franchise when it comes to trades. Some of the biggest names in Eagles history have donned the green as a result of a simple telephone transaction. Yet, not all trades have ended up in the Eagles' favor. It’s fair to say that when they get it right, they get it right, and when they screw it up, they really screw it up."

MarshallChiropractic.com presents Sports Injuries and Chiropractic Treatment posted at Marshall Chiropractic.

Basketball

Eric Gargiulo presents NBA Preview ? Grizzlies vs. Hornets Matchups posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "This Wednesday, two teams that are fighting an uphill battle for the final playoff spot in the NBA Western Conference will square-off on Bourbon Street where the New Orleans Hornets play host to the Memphis Grizzlies."

Eric Gargiulo presents College Basketball Betting – Orangemen look to stay No.1 posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Syracuse Orangemen vs Louisville Cardinals odds – The No.1 Orangemen (28-2, 15-2) have won four straight since losing at home to Louisville, and their 85-66 romp at St. John’s was their third straight win by double digits. Arinze Onuaku led an attack of five Syracuse players in double figures."

Steve Patterson presents Ohio State Men’s Basketball Win a Share of the Big Ten Title posted at BrutusReport, saying, "The Buckeyes return to the top of the Big Ten with a #1 seed in the upcoming tournament and a share, at least, of the conference title."

Eric Gargiulo presents NBA Betting ? Grizzlies vs. Celtics Preview posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Memphis Grizzlies had such a bright start to the 2009 season but they have been skating downhill ever since. They were five games over .500 on February 1st and were competing for a playoff spot in the Western Conference playoff race."

Football

Eric Gargiulo presents L.T. & B’West: Deadly Combo or Duds In The Water? posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Is it football season already?! Less than a month after The New Orleans Saints pulled off the impossible in lifting the Lombardi, both LaDanian Tomlinson and Brian Westbrook are looking for new homes. Both have lead amazing careers in the NFL. Both have tasted playoff victories, with Westbrook going to the Super Bowl with the Eagles. One more thing in common? They both have had injuries that have kept them off the field. A team that is struggling right now is considering this a miracle. Is it the answer a team like the Lions or Redskins are looking for? Or are both number 21 and 36 a little too late to be a threat?"

Eric Gargiulo presents Love Me Tender – NFL Free Agency Begins posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Football fans who feel sad about the fact the season has ended, this is for you. Yes no sooner did the Saints and Colts walk off the Super Bowl field did the football buzz come right back around with scouting combines, rumors, lockouts, salary caps and of course the biggie (with no disrespect to draft day) NFL Free Agency!"

Eric Gargiulo presents An Early Look At NFL Free Agency posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "We are just days into NFL free agency and the frenzy continues throughout the league. Within a matter of hours the NFL’s hottest free agent was signed, while other teams look to sit pat in something of a holding mode. It may only be March but a series of moves may have changed the balance of power between some NFL pretenders and contenders coming into what could be the last season before an NFL lock out."

Harold Gelien presents Top 50 Pro Athletes on Twitter Worth Following posted at sports management, saying, "The top 50 pro athletes listed were based upon their Twitter popularity, but the number of the most popular sports is limited to ten, and baseball and tennis are combined for a total of five Twitter users in those two sports."

Eric Gargiulo presents Waahhh! Derek Anderson Is Mad! posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "I've witnessed Michael Irvin get a standing ovation for getting injured in Philadelphia and I've also seen Donovan McNabb get benched for having a horrible game but bounce back and win another. These guys never said one ill word towards the fans, but Mr. Derek Anderson has."

Hockey

Eric Gargiulo presents Canada Wins Olympic Gold; Gets Revenge on Team USA posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Team Canada knew deep down the moment they lost to USA earlier in the tournament that they would meet them again in the Finals for the Gold. With that in mind, they knew they had to play a solid game, and not make the same mistakes the USA had been making during the tournament. Boy did they deliver. Canada came out in the Gold Medal game ready to play and immediately brought it to Team USA as they did in the previous game they lost to USA. USA did not show up to play in the first period."

Eric Gargiulo presents NHL Betting ? Tuesday Game Previews posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "The Chicago Blackhawks are one of the best teams in the Western Conference and while one of their key stars, Patrick Kane, is sour from missing out on a gold medal in the Winter Olympics, he’ll still have a chance at another prize if his team keeps it up in the NHL."

Neven Szary presents Crosby vs. Ovechkin ? Case Closed posted at Eastern Invasion, saying, "Sidney Crosby vs. Alexander Ovechkin. The debate rages on."

Steve Patterson presents Will the NHL build on the US interest in Olympic Hockey? No. posted at FryingPan Sports, saying, "Bill is every optimistic about the outcome of the increased interest in hockey after Canada met the US in the Winter Olympics and tv ratings reached an all time high."

Brutusreport Blogspot Sports Carnival - February 25, 2010

Welcome to the February 25, 2010 edition of Brutusreport Blogspot Sports Carnival. This time around we have some 15 or so really good articles and one very bad one. Steve Patterson starts us off with OSU Buckeyes in the NFL Combine which just opened up today. Tim Tebow won't throw so we can all breath easy. Steve also has a story on Adam Griffin the son of Buckeye great Archie Griffin who was given a scholarship after the team missed out on 5 top 100 players at the end of the recruiting process. Josh tries to convince us that Lane Kiffin will not fail although that is all he has ever done. And finally Neven Szary believes in Team Canada even after the US socked them in the groin in front of a packed home ice. That ends my sarcastic take on this weeks articles. Come back next time when I will be serious about sports and the writers that write about them. Bookmark and Share if you have nothing else to do with the rest of the night.

Baseball

Eric Gargiulo presents Will Work For Food And Millions! Baseballs Remaining Free Agents posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "RF Jermaine Dye: 2009, White Sox, .251 average, 27 home runs, 81 R.B.I. 36 years old Dye showed he still has some pop left in his bat, and can prove to be a good bat off the bench or play in a platoon situation. However, he still is seeking big money and a chance to play every day. At 36 his fielding skills are diminished, and he lacks speed. Still the best of the available free agents as far as power. A team in need of a DH could tap Dye by the end of spring."

Basketball

Calipari, Pearl renew hostilities in Lexington posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Anyone who follows sportsbook odds (betphoenix reviews) has had this Saturday circled on the calendar for a long time.

The story he brought up that the media would run with the next day on the Indianapolis Colts is something weeks prior we would never even consider. He asked: “Could Peyton Manning win the big one again?”"

Hockey

Eric Gargiulo presents USA Men?s Hockey Over Comes Late Run posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "USA defeated Switzerland in the first game of the Olympics for both Men’s teams by a score of 3-1. Switzerland came out hitting fast and furious in the beginning of the game, which to an extent really slowed down the speedy Team USA. USA had no answer for the onslaught of hard hits by Switzerland, but would slowly turn it around by the middle stages of the first period. With just over a minute remaining in the first period, Bobby Ryan scored on Anaheim teammate Jonas Hiller. David Backes would later score a beautiful goal in the 2nd period, followed by Ryan Malone. Team USA showed up in the 2nd period, but the 3rd period was another story once again."

Despite striking first the Eagles could not contain Tom Brady and game MVP Deion Branch enough to pull a win out. The Pats defense collected 4 Eagles turnovers, and spoiled the return of Terrell Owens, who came back from an ankle injury to collect 9 catches for 122 yards. Donovan McNabb did manage 357 yards and 3 TD’s for the Eagles, but will more be remembered for an alleged “vomiting” incident during the 4th quarter. Brady finished with 236 yards and 2 TDs, and Branch had 11 catches for 133 yards.

The very early odds are out for Super Bowl XLV. Even with a win over the Colts, the Saints are not favored to repeat. In a sign of outright disrespect, the Indianapolis Colts and a team that didn’t even get out of the Wild Card round have better odds to win Super Bowl XLV than the Who Dat Nation."

Interestingly enough, the UFC main event featuring Randy Couture vs. Mark Coleman (being jokingly referred to as “The Battle of the Old Geezers”) has made it this far without injuries.

Eric Gargiulo presents Manny Pacquiao vs. Joshua Clottey Set For March posted at CamelClutchBlog.com, saying, "Manny Pacquiao recently failed to negotiate a fight against the former Pound for Pound king Floyd Mayweather because of the random blood testing that the Mayweather camp wanted both fighters to take. Pacquiao was keen to accept the said test but should not be 12 days before the fight because it might weaken him, and Mayweather’s Camp didn’t accept those excuses, thus it paves way to Joshua Clottey."
