Sports News For The Week

It’s been awhile since I’ve done a Sports News update so I decided to look around (Google wise 😉 ) and see if I could find some interesting sports news for you guys.

This Weeks Latest Sports News

sports news Rex RyanJets Coach gets fined $100K for profanity: We all know you shouldn’t swear when the cameras are on you because it sets a bad example for the kids and all but it’a a little hard when you don’t know if a camera is on you or not. Unfortunately for Jets coach Rex Ryan one was on him when he yells “F You!” to someone on the field. This particular F bomb cost Rex $100,000! Poor bastard, what can you do when emotions are running wild during a game. Not the first time for Rex either. Read the article to see what else Rex was fined for.

 

sports news tiger woodsTiger Woods doesn’t hold beck when letting off steam: This is an interesting bit of sports news. Don’t you hate it when the media picks on celebrities and shit. Sometimes they can be worse than the paparazzi. I know they have to sell the news and people lap it up but sometimes enough is enough. That happened to Tiger Wood who finally unloads his frustration on one particular sports writer.

“Dan Jenkins, an 84-year-old who was once described by TV host Larry King as the “best sportswriter in America”, has long taken issue with Woods and the lack of access he’s given him during his career. So good all Dan conducts a fake interview with Tiger Woods and it’s enough to send Tiger over the edge.

sports news Giancarlo StantonWho Is The Richest Man In Sport? I reckon that the richest man in sports must change from time to time. This particular bit of sports news names the very latest richest man in sports. That title now goes to Giancarlo Stanton of the Miami Marlins. He became the richest man in sports when he signed the $325 million deal with the Miami Marlins.

Man, I always thought that some of those soccer/football players were really will paid but this latest deal kills them and is now the largest contract ever in the history of sport.

sports news katy mckleanWomen’s Sports Cool: Now we all know how much I love women in sports. It’s one of the reason I started the Hot Sports Babes series of posts. Well this bit of sports news is about the English women’s Rugby team winning England’s World Cup. It seems the captain of the team, Katy McLean says women’s sport is cool. Read all about what it is about women’s sport that makes Katy believe its cool.

Me, I always new that women in sports was cool. Actually, when you think of it some of the women in sports are really pretty hot! 😉

sports news volleyballIran Sanctioned For Barring Female Fans: Really? In this day and age. Sort of like banning women from the pub or not allowing them to vote or something. This particular bit of sports news is really interesting. It involves the jailing of a woman, Ghavami, who was detained after trying to attend a World League volleyball game between Italy and Iran. A game that women were barred from attending.

Apparently women are also barred from attending football matches to protect them from the lewd behaviour of male fans.

That’s it for todays top 5 Sports News for this week. However, before I go I’d love to tell you about some of the important posts on this blog.

  • Hottest Sports Babe Poll: This is where you get to vote for your hottest sports babe. If you haven’t had your vote why not head on over and do so now.
  • Photos Of Hot Sports Women: I really liked this post. It has a video I put together of some really cool perfectly timed photos of sports women. If you like it I’d love it if you headed on over to YouTube and give it a ‘Thumbs-Up”

Getting Your Best Odds On Your Sports Bets

Getting Your Best Odds Is Important

I would say that most of the best punters have one thing in common. They believe in getting the best odds on their sports bets. Naturally the only way they can be assured of getting the best odds is by joining more than one online sports betting site! All good punters should be comparing the odds offered by the relative bookies. That’s why you should try getting your best odds!

If you’re not comparing odds you could be costing yourself money. Getting better odds means bigger winnings which means more money in your pocket! Heck, it’s hard enough getting a win these days why wouldn’t you want to increase your winnings when they do come in?

Joining Online Sports Betting

Joining online sports betting sites is easy. Better yet it’s absolutely free so why wouldn’t you want to take advantage of getting your best odds by joining more than one online bookie? Joining more than one online bookie allows you to take advantage of whatever bonus they’re offering for new members. Unfortunately for Aussies these bonuses may not be available depending on where you live. I spoke about this on my Sports Betting Nanny State post. Check out some of the deals of the following recommended online sports betting sites.

Getting The Best Odds On Your Sports BetsSportingbet is one of the first online betting sites that I joined. One of the main reasons for joining Sportingbet was because it was owned by William Hill one of England’s most renowned bookies. I wrote about them here. Actually I tried to join them first, being so impressed with them as a sports betting company, but couldn’t being an Aussie and all. 

They lead me to Sportingbet and I am so glad that they did. When joining any online betting site I always make sure that they have a sports betting app. This is essential as it makes placing a bet online so much easier. No matter where I am using my app I can place a bet online with ease.

Another thing I liked about Sportsbet is that they accepted PayPal. Since then I’ve joined Neteller and now, while still a positive, it’s not as important. I did a post on how Neteller was a great secure sports betting service.

Bet365 was the second online bookie that I joined. If you open an account with bet365, deposit $20 or more and you will qualify for a 100% matched amount as a bonus to bet with up to a maximum of $200. I was fortunate enough to be able to take advantage of this offer. Unfortunately that offer is no longer available to South Australian residents. That Nanny State post I mentioned above mentions all the other states who can’t take advantage of the offer. Man, I hate it when the Government takes it upon themselves to make up these stupid rules. I’m going to join whether or not there is an offer available so what’s the point?

See my Bet365 page for more more about this online betting agency.

 

Getting Your Best OddsSportsbet is another popular Aussie online sports betting site. You’ve probably seen one of their commercials, some which are quite amusing, that show just how easy it is to place a a bet online using their app?

Apart from the $150 match bet offer Sportsbet has a lot of other products that it offers it’s members. I wrote about them in my Great Sportsbet Products post.

When looking for a sports betting site to join one of the most important factors is age. The longer they’ve been around the better. Shonky sites just don’t last long. Sportsbet has been around since 1993 making it Australia’s oldest licensed bookmaker.

Just a quick note, the Sportsbet offer was valid as of writing this post. It may have changed since then.

If you need more help selecting which sports betting sites to join, why not let Fortuna, our very own Lady Luck help you pick them.

I just put a little video together highlighting 4 great reasons for joining more than one online betting site. Of course the main one would be so you’re ensure of getting your best odds when placing a bet online. 😉

 

 

 

Sports Women Are Just As Dumb As Men

It’s true, no matter what anyone will tell you women can be just as dumb as men. That being the case I can safely say that sports women are just as dumb as men too. What’s that? You want to know on what basis I can say that sports women are just as dumb as men? I’m glad you asked.

Hazing Proves Sports Women Are Just As Dumb As Men

Wikipedia has a pretty good explanation of what hazing is. This is how Wikipedia describes hazing.

[redbox]Hazing is the practice of rituals and other activities involving harassment, abuse or humiliation used as a way of initiating a person into a group. Hazing is seen in many different types of social groups, including gangs, sports teams, schools, military units, and fraternities and sororities. Hazing is often prohibited by law and may comprise either physical or psychological abuse. It may also include nudity and/or sexually based offences.[/redbox]

Have you ever watched one of those movies where the guys go through some really stupid stuff just so they can get accepted into some fraternity or other? And then your girlfriend, wife or partner tells you just how stupid those guys are? Because there was no way in hell that women would go through that. Nope, women are just too smart.

To tell you the truth, even though I would never admit it out loud, I sort of thought that too. That was until I read the following article. This particular hazing, the one that proves sports women are just as dumb as men, involved the University of New Mexico women’s soccer team.

I couldn’t find any images of that particular hazing but I did manage to find one that allegedly involves the  hazing of some sorority of Princeton Cheerleaders.

Sports Women Are Just As Dumb As Men

 

Two things that stand out in this photo. The first is that one of the girls definitely isn’t having a good time. The other is that the rest of them just proves that Sports Women Are Just As Dumb As Men!

Some of the dumb things these girls were forced to do included..

  • Drinking large amounts of alcohol causing at least one girl to being taken to hospital because of breathing problems.
  • Forced to perform inappropriate gesture with frozen hotdogs.
  • Kiss the buttocks of upperclassmen

You can read a more comprehensive report at the KOB site.

It seems that hazing is not just limited to cheerleaders and women’s soccer either. According to USA Today hazing is widespread in the US. The article specifically talks about a hazing involving the State University of New York Geneseo women’s volleyball team. This particular hazing almost caused the death of a young freshmen who had a blood alcohol reading of 0.266%.

All in all it just goes to prove that no matter what women tell you, sports women are just as dumb as men.
