TGS KENTUCKY DERBY BONUS: STILL THE BEST SHOW IN MAY!

Talk about a great sports survivor!

Whereas the onetime “sport of kings” has gradually faded from the nation’s sporting conscience, the Kentucky Derby has somehow retained the panache and gravitas befitting one of the nation’s great sports events. Indeed, the annual “Run for the Roses” at Churchill Downs not only continues to bring Louisville to a standstill the first Saturday each May, but keeps the national sports media at attention as well.

Yes, “Derby Day” is still big news, alright, even if horse racing generally is not. For outside of its shrinking universe of devoted fans, the only guaranteed spotlight the sport receives these days comes during the first half of May, leading up to the Derby and through the Preakness. If the sport is lucky enough, the focus will continue for three more weeks until the Belmont Stakes, the only proviso for the extended  Read more...
TGS SPECIAL REPORT: WHILE WE WEREN'T LOOKING...

Here we go again.

Earlier this week, while the majority of sports fans were focusing on Major League Baseball, the NBA and Stanley Cup playoffs, and perhaps the Kentucky Derby, one of the biggest sports developments was likely buried on the back pages of sports sections across the country.

In short, the powers-that-be in college football once again decided that they weren’t going to make any alterations to the BCS.

Not that there weren’t some involved parties who were lobbying for something of a change. Indeed, SEC Commissioner Mike Slive was the latest driving force behind a proposal to add the “plus-one” component to the current BCS set-up. In other words, a mini-playoff featuring the top four rated BCS teams, with semifinal matchups rotated among the existing BCS bowls, with a title game to feature the winners of those two matchups Read more...
TGS SPECIAL REPORT: 2008 COLLEGE HOOP SUPERLATIVES

PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Michael Beasley, Kansas State...Granted, there’s an MVP case to be made for practically every member of our All-America team. Hansbrough’s credentials, in particular, are certainly solid, although we must note how his North Carolina squad wobbled noticeably when PG Ty Lawson was out with injury in the later part of the campaign. Both Rose and Douglas-Roberts were spectacular for John Calipari’s exciting Memphis team, while we doubt UCLA would have made a third straight trip to the Final Four without the contributions of Love. And Rush was the top player on the national championship team. But the best player we saw this season? It was Beasley, whose presence immediately made Kansas State a force to be reckoned with, and will likely become the top pick in the upcoming NBA Draft if he leaves early, as expected. There was no flaw in Beasley’s game, ranking 3rd nationally in scoring at 26.5 ppg and leading the country in rebounding at 12.5 pg. Although Read more...
TGS PRO HOOPS BONUS: 2008 NBA PLAYOFFS PREVIEW

TEAM TO BEAT: Boston (4/7) is sitting pretty, guaranteed homecourt edge throughout the postseason, and having had the opportunity to give key components such as Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, and Ray Allen ample rest over the past few weeks. It’s no wonder the Celtics are also the favorite (at 3/2) to win the NBA title. Although we don’t think Boston is going to get seriously challenged in the East unless it runs into Detroit in the conference Finals, we’re not especially enthused about recommending the Celtics at that steep 4/7 premium. There’s probably better value in that 3/2 price to win the whole thing, especially considering how well Boston has fared against Western teams this season (a sparkling 25-5). Considering that success, should the Celtics make it to the Finals, their odds to win it all will probably be worse than what’s available now. So, if you really like Boston, go ahead and play the Celtics to win the whole thing, because we don’t think there’s enough value in that conference title Read more...
