This is not another LeBron Blog! If you are like me you are sick of hearing about the NBA free agents. You really don’t care what my opinions are nor do you care to read anymore about the “Big 3” So I won’t write about them.
So what is this blog going to be about? The World Cup, College World Series, the Texas Rangers, the All Star Game, Fantasy Football, or the Dallas Cowboys? No,No,No and Hell No!
This blog is about beer and drinking and Whiskey! This blog is about spending time with your family and friends on the 4th and having the time of your life while doing it! This blog is about finding something you do well and then doing it wrong. This blog is about a road trip with your buddies laughing into the night and you don’t give a damn whatever happens to you man!That's What this blog is about! LeBron is not what this blog is about.
This blog is about getting lap dances until four,bigbadsportsdaddy.com's random bikini girls, a big poker score, The Dallas Derby Devils, The John and Eric Show(heard every Thursday on bbsd),Steph's WTF blog (Posted every Friday here on bbsd), swapping jokes with friends, MPX Wrestling, fishing with dad or drinking beer under the shade tree! Whatever it is that will bring a smile to your face that's what this blogs about!
As we head into America’s birthday with LeBron dominating all of the headlines just remember that’s not what this blog is about.
I encourage you to go buy some fireworks, make some plans to go to the lake maybe a cool party pool or plan a good Bar-B-Que and forget about LeBron and sports for the weekend! Enjoy it! Don’t debate it this weekend! Protest IT! As Donnie Brasco would say”Forget about it”.
Sports and the LeBron debate will still be here on July 5th. We can talk about it then. Make sure you grab your favorite beverage and enjoy the only July 4th we will have this year! LeBron in the overall scheme of things is not that important buddy. Friends and Family and making sure you have a great holiday weekend are! That’s what this blog is about!
Happy 4th of July!

Hey Wild Mary
This is The Burb Article for June! Check out http://theburbnews.com for more cool stuff! Happy Reading!
Hey Wild Mary
So - I had a dream last night that I was playing poker with God. Hey - don’t judge me! Anyway, it was me and the Big Guy sittin’ around playing no-limit hold’em. Early in the game, I rivered a nut flush! Go Lar! I look down to check my hole cards - then look back at the table and God had changed the game to UNO! WTF??? Seriously, I was about to call BS, which was an extremely risky proposition given that I was asleep and wanted to eventually wake up! Then I realized: Hey, this dream wasn’t God’s way of telling me to stay off the poker tables and stick to playing UNO. It was his way of telling me to get my A** to Vegas or… at least write about it in theBurb.
June is a great Vegas month! The pools are hopping and The World Series of Poker is in town. And, you have those Crazy Vegas Summer Nights. Like me 10 years ago, almost getting hitched to a woman from Chicago after knowing her for 3 hours. Are you wondering how I could remember this date with such precision? Well because this “almost shot gun wedding” was on my 21st birthday. Yes, this is a true Crazy Vegas Summer Night story!
With Marie (The Burb’s Publisher) asking me about my column every freakin day, all the quotes from the Hangover flick - and let’s not forget to mention that God and I recently played a hand of poker – It seems more than obvious that I should DEFINITELY be giving out some Vegas Tips. Just in case you happen to make it out there this summer…
1) The Las Vegas Club Baby! — The Strip is fun, and even entertaining at first, but most of the service at the big hotels down there is God awful! (I eventually won the poker game with God and I get to use his name any way I want…even as an adjective). Check out the sites if you’ve never been, but stay downtown at The Las Vegas Club on Freemont Street – it comes highly recommended. The first time I walked into that place, many years ago, a bartender named Polo who worked there, invited me and my buddy to go fishing on his boat. We got our meals comp’d and the staff
was outstanding! I love that place! If you’re the type that needs the prestige of staying at a big strip casino, then there’s simply nothing I can write to make you change your mind. BUT, if you want excellent service and a great time, then think Las Vegas Club, Baby!
2) Seven come Eleven! — Play some table games. I know a lot of people who for some reason or another are intimidated by the tables. There’s no game funnier to watch and more fun to play in the casino than Craps! The money comes and goes so fast, it’ll make you sick. It’s an incredible rush. My mom and ex-girlfriend always had fun on the Roulette table. Roulette was never my thing. Blackjack is a nice way to kill an evening with friends. A lot of people go in on the BJ table with the “I’m going to lose” mentality, so that’s entertainment in itself.
If you’ve always wanted to play the table games, but have been scared to either A). Buy a “how-to-gamble for dummies” book and go play during the down time at The Casino. Or B). Foot the bill for your old pal Larry Stanley to go to Vegas with you. I’d personally hold your hand and teach you any game you want to learn!
3) Eat drink and be Wild Mary! — In Las Vegas you can find great food and drink everywhere! Not the watered down, “it takes an hour to get back to my table” drinks, either. Get out and explore! You’ll have some fun. Hey, I’d never have found the Las Vegas Club if I hadn’t left The MGM Grand. And very important….GUYS, stay away from “Circus Olay!” Yeah, I fell for that once. I wanted to slit my wrist when the fat grown man in the diaper, dressed like a baby was being chased by a clown in a midget car, that’s a little too much “Wild Mary”.
So - there you go degenerates! Go enjoy your stay in Sin City! Tell them God and his poker muse Larry sent you!

What's The Deal with The Big 12
As Jerry Seinfeld would say “What’s the deal with the Big 12? Is Texas staying or going or what are they doing here?”
Now to the point The Big 12 is staying together in some half ass kinda way. While this is what most Big 12 fans wanted it is destined to fail and fail hard.
The Big 12 stayed together by promising their 3 darling schools (Texas,OU and A & M)Iphone money and lots of it! Then they promised the lesser schools double what they were making in the past few years so they would stay and like sheep they did. The planned worked but at what now?
Now the Big 12 has backed itself into a corner. They can’t have a championship game with 10 teams and they can’t afford to expand. So whatever this conference is to become it’s going to be a joke. If I were the BCS I would yank their automatic bid unless they added two teams which as I stated above they can’t afford to do that. Give that BCS bid to Notre Dame no matter their record. You know the brain trust that runs the BCS is dying to pull a stunt like that anyway.
Big 12 Commissioner Dan BeBee may have patched up his conference for now but until he figures out away to get two more teams in it is still on life support. Monday ESPN was reporting that it was inevitable that Texas, OU, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State were heading to the PAC 10 and orangebloods.com was reporting The Big 12 was to stay intact. Now I’m thinking they may both be right. The one thing we know is the 10 schools left in this mess are getting paid like a MFer! And that's what it's all about!

Scattershooting
Scattershooting While wondering whatever happen to Tatu . On the Dawn of the World Cup I can’t help but wonder what happen to my beloved Dallas Sidekicks and their fearless shirtless leader!
Ok Strasburgh is the next big thing! 14k’s and no walks in his first start. Pretty good eh? The Nationals also drafted Bryce Harper this week and really have been dominating the baseball headlines. I am going to go ahead and make the declaration that your Washington Nationals will win the World Series in 2014! That is if The Mayan Calendar is wrong and our world doesn’t end in 2012.
Beware of 3 American league teams that seem ready to make a push. The Mariners, Blue Jays and White Sox all can get hot and surprise some people this summer. The Jays will have the toughest road playing in the most competitive division in baseball. Their young pitching staff has The Eye of the Tiger and looks hungry! They have to hope Adam Lind’s bat comes around and all the other AL EAST teams really wear each other down the stretch but look for them to be in the Wild Card race. Seattle needs a bat! If they can stay within 5 games at the deadline look for them to go get one. The AL West is wide open. The Chi-town Sox have to much talent to be under achieving! Ozzie Guillen will be fired if his team is not in the post season. He will have to motivate the Sox in his own special angry mexican way to get them rolling.
Big 12,Pac 10, Big 10! There is nothing wrong with the Big 12! Leave it be! Get rid of The BCS and let’s set up a playoff system. That should be the real issue in college football right now! Not this team is being recruited by so and so. Everyone just stay put! Two Words for you NCAA Football- Freaking PLAYOFFS!
I guess all eyes in the basketball world are on LeBron. It’s a shame we have a pretty decent final going on right now too. Let me solve this mystery for you. LeBron to The Bulls on July 1. Can we move on to the next topic?
Oh ,ok! So we are out of topics for this week. Look For Courtney's World Cup Blog here on BBSD This Friday! Also Make Sure you check out The John & Eric Show for more sports then the law will allow.. New podcast up on the BBSD Radio Page on Thursday. This blog has been brought to you by (If you would like your company’s name here email larry@bigbadsportsdaddy.com)

Tap the Breaks
Tap the breaks
DUCKWORTH! You lost that bet in April and I still haven’t got my money! WTF? I’m going to tap the breaks on throwing you into my car trunk for now. Consider it your birthday present. Do you think I'm Funny? Funny how?
(If you follow this blog at all you know The Duck man lost a draft day bet to me and if you don’t follow now you know)
OK Dallas Cowboys Sports fan tap the breaks a little on Dez Bryant. Is he the second coming of The Playmaker? Maybe but he won’t prove it on the field next year. The NFL is tough and rookie wide outs don’t usually put up Moss like numbers. You have a few exceptions like Megatron but again not likely. Is it possible? Sure! Will Dez do it? Probably not ! If Dez would of went in the 2009 draft he would have been the 3rd WR drafted. He would of went behind Crabtree and Heywood Bay or whatever speed guy the Raiders took. In 2010 he is the talk of the draft! He maybe great someday but it will not be in 2010.
Ranger fans tap the breaks on Your Texas Rangers winning the West. We all know this team’s history. They will win and stay competitive until July then they will drop like a mobster wearing cement boots. Hey Rangers please turn it around and get us to football season.
Dallas Mavericks fan tap the breaks on LeBron talk! Let me put it to you eternal optimist the simple way HE”S NOT COMING HERE! NO WAY! NO HOW! Get it? LeBron will go to a marquee market and for some reason Dallas isn’t one of them. If King James makes his decision and doesn’t resign with The Cavs I’ll be shocked. However if he doesn’t stay in his home town there are only two teams that he would realistically go to. They are New York or Chicago. The list stops there. Dallas go see if you can get D Wade. Do you remember what he did to you in finals a few years back? Yeah I don’t want to talk about it either.
Doesn’t all Dallas sports talk always start and stop with Cowboy talk? Cowboys fan tap the breaks on Romo. What has he done? He has partied his ass off to keep his name in the spotlight and choked in every big game he has played in. I am huge Cowboys fan I am just not buying what old TRo is selling. I like my QB’s like Troy! Winners.
