I won  three of the four events I played and was only let down by Canada&#8217;s  women curlers. Losing at curling doesn&#8217;t make me happy, but I am happy  to forgive considering my boys will be playing for gold &#8211; and kicking  the crap out of the Americans &#8211; on Sunday. What a game that&#8217;s going to  be, but more on that tomorrow. Today we&#8217;ll have one last shot at a big  parlay. The events will be: Canada (-1.5 -150) in the men&#8217;s curling  final, Slovakia +194 over Finland in regulation time in the bronze medal  hockey game, Jasey Jay Anderson (-125) over Benjamin Karl in the  snowboarding, and Silvan Zurbriggen (-130) over Michael Janyk in the  slalom. That will pay $1460.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Other Stuff<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be  intrigued to watch Michael Jordan as an owner in Charlotte. I&#8217;ve lost a  lot of respect for the guy as a manager in the league &#8211; most guys in his  position would at least bother to go to more than the occasional game  or practice. I would hope that his ownership stake would make him more  involved and draw him out as a likable personality in the league, but  that may be wishful thinking.<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee and Kentucky play the  most intriguing basketball game we have seen in a few weeks later on  today. It won&#8217;t really affect the fate of either team too significantly,  but it is a very compelling showing between two good teams and two  extremely competitive coaches. I don&#8217;t have a real sense of how the game  is going to end up, but my guess would be that Tennessee will come out  of the agte hot and will have a solid lead at the half. If that happens  then we&#8217;ll get a good chance to see how Kentucky responds to adversity.<\/p>\n<p>Is  it just me, or is the Combine more under the radar this year than it  has been the last few years?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Olympic Bet of the Day &#8211; Another day of coming close.
