There’s No Home Like the Superdome

There’s no home like the Superdome Posted by Gregg Rosen­thal on Novem­ber 29, 2011, 12:05 AM EST Here’s what we learned dur­ing the Saints’ 49–24 beat­down of the Giants on Mon­day night: 1. No team has a big­ger home­field advan­tage than the Saints. They are 5–0 at home and 3–3 on the road. The Saints have outscored their oppo­nents 208–93 in the Super­dome this year. It’s not all about the Colts’ game inflat­ing those num­bers. The Saints con­vinc­ingly beat the Bears at home. They beat a good Tex­ans team. And they absolutely out­classed the Giants Mon­day night. 2....

Arizona St. Announces Erickson’s Firing

TEMPE, Ariz. — Ari­zona State ath­letic direc­tor Lisa Love gave coach Den­nis Erick­son a long leash in mold­ing the pro­gram the way he wanted it, bring­ing in the play­ers he thought would fit. She applauded the vet­eran coach’s efforts on both fronts, believ­ing he had built a solid foun­da­tion for a pro­gram that had been foundering. But after four years of see­ing many of the same mis­takes being made and the win totals remain­ing stag­nant, Love believed it was time for a change.

Stats to Consider in NFL Betting

NFL foot­ball is the favorite sport of many bet­tors mainly due to the excite­ment and thrill involved with it.

There­fore, it is not sur­pris­ing to find more and more use­ful stats com­ing up each year for NFL... 

Off Track Betting: Understanding Claiming Races

Horse bet­ting is some­thing that is prac­ticed since time immemo­r­ial. How­ever, till date there are just few gam­blers who are famil­iar with any races apart from the major ones like Breeder’s Cup or Ken­tucky Derby. In this arti­cle we will famil­iar­ize you with the Claim­ing races. These are the races, wherein each horse is pro­vided a price tag, which is used to pur­chase or “claim” the horse out of the race for that price. Any­one who is inter­ested in claim­ing the horse has to make the request for pur­chase before the race begins. Once the race is fin­ished,... 

Nats Show Interest in Fielder, Cespedes

Updated Nov 28, 2011 7:29 PM ET All that talk about the Nation­als not want­ing free-agent first base­man Prince Fielder? Don’t believe it. The Nation­als are show­ing seri­ous inter­est in Fielder and view Cuban out­fielder Yoen­nis Ces­pedes as a poten­tial Plan B, accord­ing to major-league sources. Talks with Fielder hit a sig­nif­i­cant road­block on Mon­day, one source said, prompt­ing the Nats to revisit Ces­pedes as an alternative. Ces­pedes, 26, is not yet on the open mar­ket; he first must estab­lish tem­po­rary res­i­dence in the Domini­can Repub­lic,... 

Carlson and Wideman Excited About Caps’ Future

ARLINGTON, Va — One thing made clear by Dale Hunter on his first day as head coach of the Wash­ing­ton Cap­i­tals is that play­ers will be held account­able regard­less of name. “I’m a play­ers coach,” Hunter said Mon­day, “but also the play­ers will know when I’m mad at them. I’m stern on them because that’s the way you have to be to win games. Every­body makes mis­takes out there, but if they keep mak­ing the same mis­takes there will be repercussions.” Nash has high regard for new Caps’ coach Rick Nash spent two sea­sons in the Ontario Hockey League with...

Saban: Voters Should Pick 2 Best Teams

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Nick Saban has a mes­sage to the poll vot­ers who will help deter­mine whether Alabama plays for a national title: Be “fair.” The Crim­son Tide coach, who of course has a root­ing inter­est, said Mon­day that vot­ers should not vote against his team just to avoid a rematch with No. 1 LSU or because Alabama didn’t win its con­fer­ence title. “If some­body does that, I guess it’s their choice to do it,” Saban said. “It’s a free coun­try. But the whole thing should be based on who’s the best two teams. Isn’t that what it’s sup­posed to be?...
