Bet...Bet..Bet.....
OK I am a natural-born gambler pure and simple, however I think my gambling degeneracy hit a new low last night when i made a bet on whether or not someone's debit card was going to get declined at a local pub. It was declined and I lost the bet! Stupid me I thought if someone ran up a $300 tab and they stuck around they had enough cash to cover it. As my cousin Missy pointed out to me on facebook They were just too drunk to give a shit. Lesson learned never bet against a bartender
Gambling is fun just ask the City of Las Vegas. I love a 7 on the come out roll in craps, I love getting an ace as my first card in blackjack, I love a tight ball game and I love to just bet..bet..bet! One of my favorite things to do in Vegas is going to the top of Stratosphere and yelling at the top of my lungs "I love to gamble!"
Although today when my buddy called me wanting some lighting action on LSU vs Mississippi State I had to respectfully decline. This line and game looks ex girlfriend fishy to me. How is the spread only 4? I learned a long time ago when you see a spread that makes no sense at all you better leave it alone!
Last week was so-so if you listened to me. We went 1-0-1 in College and 0-2 in the NFL. Hey just remember it was week 1 , so you can stop with the hate mail already! If the Broncos would have played Tebow we would have won that bet @BeauregardHagen on twitter.
Before we get to picks let's get some shameless plugs out-of-the-way; make sure you check out our Sports Daddys podcast on BigBadSportsDaddy.com. New Shows are posted on Monday and Friday.

2011 Big Bad NFL Mock Draft
If you listen to the Sports Daddys podcast on BigBadSportsDaddy.com you have already heard my bold guarantee. Yes I will out pick SI.com’s Peter King in this year’s 2011 draft! If you are not familiar with Peter King he is Sports Illustrated's NFL insider. I took the time to read his 2011 NFL Mock Draft while doing my research over Easter weekend. What did I find out? The guy has lost it! Hey went all mad scientist Doc Brown style on us this year. So I will once again (this time in blog form) guarantee I will out pick P.King. Why? Because I can! I am gambling man so if you would like to wager Petey holler! You can catch me on twitter @bigbadlarry.
Thank you for taking time out to read our first ever Big Bad Mock Draft! And Away we go!
1. Carolina Panthers- Nick Fairley-DT- Aburn
The Panthers aren’t ready to give up on Jimmy Clausen just yet. If he is not their future QB Andrew Luck will be here next year. Ron Rivera is a Defense guy and wants to build up that Panthers D with a legit pass rush. It’s not the sexy pick but Fairley is their man
2. Denver Broncos- Marcell Dareus-DT-Alabama
New Coach,New 4-3 System and big run stopper. John Fox another Defense minded coach will select an anchor for that Denver Defense for the next few years.
3.Buffalo Bills- A.J. Green-WR-Georgia
Buffalo needs lots of help. A.J. Green could be a key piece in their O moving forward.
4. Cincinnati Bengals- Von Miller-LB-Texas A&M
Cincinnati feels Carson Palmer will be back. If not they will address the need in Free Agency and hold back and wait for a QB next year. The Jungle Cats were 27th in sacks last year. Miller comes in a gives them a legit pass rusher around the outside.
5. Arizona Cardinals- Patrick Peterson-CB-LSU
At 5 the Cards will be ecstatic to get the most talented player in the draft. Even though the popular opinion and common sense would tell you AZ needs a QB. Expect them to continuing developing young Max Hall and bring in an older mentor type via Free Agency. It’s hard to draft another franchise QB when Nightmares of drafting Matt Leinart still dance in your head
6. Cleveland Browns- Juilo Jones-WR-Alabama
My name is Cleveland Brown and proud to say, Colt will have a big Wide Receiver on draft day. (Fox Animation Domination fans will get that)
7. San Francisco 49ers- Blaine Gabbert-QB-Missiouri
Finally the 1st QB of 2011 is off the big board. Jim Harbaugh will want to develop his guy at QB and not give Alex Smith his 999th chance. Gabbert is smart and has big arm. You would never know this though watching him play at Mizzo though
8. Tennessee Titans-Cam Newton-QB-Auburn
Well it didn’t take long for the 2nd QB to come off the board either. I know Bud Adams loves this guy and would love to have be the signal caller of the future.
9. Dallas Cowboys- Prince Amukamara-CB-Nebrska
A lot of draft guys have the Cowboys going O Line here. Not going to happen. That’s not sexy enough for Jerry! Jerry has never drafted a O Line man in round 1 and he won’t start now. Look for Dallas to take the Prince
10.Washington Redskins-Jake Locker-QB Washington
Washington needs a new QB man and Jake Locker seems to fit the bill. You know little Danny Snyder likes those big name bust almost as much as Jerry Jones.
11. Houston Texans-Da’Quan Bowers-DE-Clemonson
The Texans D was pathetic last year. Especially their secondary. However with the best two corners off the board and no saftey worth taking at 11 look for Houston to shore up the front line. A few weeks ago Da’Quan was the projected #1 pick but a minor knee injury dropped him like he was hot. Houston gambles and picks up a CB in the 2nd or 3rd
12. Minnesota Vikings- Akeem Ayers-LB-UCLA
Yes it is a little high for Ayers but the Vikings need an Outside Linebacker more then anything else. Their 3rd down Defense was worst then their QB play. That says a lot
13. Detroit Lions- Mike Pouncey-G-Florida
With key young triplets in place the lions need some protectors. Look for them to pounce on Pouncey (Rock Me)
14. ST Louis Rams- Mark Ingram-RB Alabama
The Rams have a nice young team but Steven Jackson is always an injury list. Look for them to go RB here to help share his load
15. Miami Dolphins- Mike Leshoure-RB-Illinois
Ronnie Brown is a Free Agent and Ricky Williams is 80 years old. They will be besides them self for missing out on Ingram but will reach here on Leshoure
16.Jacksonville Jaguars- Robert Quinn-DE-North Carolina
The Jags have to improve their pass rush and Quinn is a steal. If he wasn’t suspended last year he would be a top 5 pick. Great value and the Jags fill a need. This pick makes way to much sense
17. New England Patriots- J.J. Watt-DE-Wisconsin
NE pass Defense was 30th in the NFL last year. That won’t cut it. J.J. is the get your lunch pale/ hard working guy that will fight right in there in Bradyland
18. San Diego Super Chargeres- Jonathan Baldwin-WR-Pittsburgh
Another weapon for Rivers? Why not? That offense could be electrifying.
19. New York Giants- Anthony Castonzo-T-Boston College
New York has to get younger on the O-Line. Tom Coughlin has lots of ties to BC. Case and Point
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Aldon Smith- DE-Missouri
Inconsistent pass rush & Couldn't stop the run describes TB’s D last year. I also have it on good authority the Bucs personal department loves this kid. Smith comes in and is an impact player right away.
21. Kansas City Chiefs- Aaron Williams-CB Texas
If KC wants to think about stopping the Chargers they have to get some Corner Help. It’s either Aaron Williams or Jimmy Smith and Williams doesn’t have the “off the field issues” Smith does
22. Indianapolis Colts- DeAndre McDaniel- Safety- Clemonson
I sound like a broken record but here is another team with a bad secondary. There one all pro safety can’t stay healthy. Colts look to add a big playmaker to roam Centerfield
23. Philly Eagles- Gabe Carimi- T- Wisconsin
The Eagles gave up 49 sacks last year and Michael Vick was their QB. That line is bad. Carimi for the save
24. New Orleans Saints-Cameron Heyward-DE-Ohio State
Who Dat? Ironhead JR that’s who! This would be really cool if it happens. Heyward going to the Saints where his daddy made a name for himself. The Saints also need to improve their pass rush.
25. Seattle Seahawks-Tyron Smith-T-USC
They must go O-Line here. Look for Pete McDbag to snag his former Trojan recruit. The only problem is Smith may have to take a pay cut to play in the Pacific Northwest.
26. Baltimore Ravens- Derek Sherrod-T- Mississippi State
Big guard to protect Flacco and open holes for Rice.
27. Atlanta Falcons- Kyle Rudolph-TE-Notre Dame
Tony G’s big replacement!
28. New England Patriots- Justin Houston-LB-Georgia
Pats should add another dangerous pass rusher here.
29. Chicago Bears- Nate Solder-T-Colorado
The Bears gave up more sacks then any team since ‘06. Solder comes in to Buff up their line up(Rock me x2)
30. New York Jets-Torrey Smith-WR-Maryland
All of the Jets Wide Outs are Free Agents except Jerricho Cotchery. Look for them to get younger at the position and add depth via the draft
31. Pittsburgh Steelers- Jimmy Smith-CB-Colorado
He has the size and the speed to be a NFL Shut down corner. The problem is he failed 4 drug test and had some run ins with the law at Colorado. The Steelers are no strangers to handling problem children. Smith to the Steel City.
32. Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers-Phil Taylor-DT-Baylor
From Waco,Texas Green to Green Bay Wisconsin. The Packers need someone to plug the middle and stop the run. Taylor is that guy.
Thank you for taking time out to read our first ever Big Bad Mock Draft! And Away we go!

Old Folks League
First and foremost the votes are in and the craziest celebrity in Hollywood is drum roll please............................................................................
Mel Gibson! Thanks to everyone who voted! Read my blog from last week if you don't know what I am talking about.
You know sometimes you are driving around in your car and a great idea hits you. Like yesterday when I heard Tiki Barber was coming out of retirement I thought WTF?
Then I thought you know there is a place in sports for the older athlete. Why doesn't someone start an old folks league? It would be a lot more entertaining then the UFL! Who wants to see some second rate spares compete in game where they are obviously not good enough to play with the best of the best? Not this guy! Now if you had an old folks league of aging great stars I would watch.
This idea is radical and out there but go with me for a minute. Let's say someone started a football league for guys ages 35-50. Now this wouldn't be your weekend warrior flag league,no,no,no. This would be your former NFLers playing again with guys their age. This league would be for your Tikis,Herschels and Bretts of the world.
You would have to change the rules and limit the contact a bit but I think it would be fun. Here's the great thing you could play it Spring so us football junkies could get a quick fix before the real season starts.
I'm not saying this would be the best thing since the McRib. I'm just saying it would be fun. Think about watching your favorite atheltes play in to their twilights. Think about a second fantasy football season. Think about not being annoyed by the 35 year old athlete announcing his big come back only to fall flat on his face.
I think the idea is brilliant but I'm a little biased. What do you think? Would you watch a NFL Old Folks leage?

Steelers > Cowboys
This blog may be the most painful thing I have ever had to write in my life. With the 2011 Super Bowl less then two weeks away, and the 2010 NFL season damn near in the books, I have had to accept a cold hard fact as a Cowboys' fan. That fact is that The Pittsburgh Steelers are a better franchise then the Dallas Cowboys, right here and now. There is only one man to blame for this. Jerry this is all your fault! I’ll have more on the Jerry later.
Before the Texas Lynch Mob shows up at my doorstep with pitchforks and torches, please allow me to explain. As a die hard Cowboys fan, I had been taught at an early age, that the Cowboys are the best franchise in all of sports. Sorry Yankees' fans but it’s true, or at least it used to be true. The Cowboys are football. The Cowboys are America’s team. The Cowboys are a shell of their former selves and pathetic.
Growing up in Dallas, it was easy to see why the Cowboys were Football Gods. I got to watch Tom Landry have his last few good years, but then unfortunately, I had to watch a couple of bad ones. I was at just the right impressionable young age when the 90’s Cowboys made their Super Bowl runs. I got to watch Jimmy assemble the greatest football team ever, only to then suffer and watch that team crumble at the hands of a power hungry egotistical dick-tator (Yes I misspelled that on purpose)!
As The Steelers enter their third Super Bowl in six years, it is obvious they are the kings of the football world these days. Sorry Colts and Pats but your day is done. The Steelers are now what the Patriots were in early 2000s,what the Cowboys were in the 90’s,what the 49ers were in the 80s, and what the Steelers were in the 70’s. Wait...was one team on that list twice?
In the 70’s the Steelers were the franchise. They captured four of their six rings in that decade. Yeah that’s right, six rings! The Cowboys have five so that's a point for the Steelers. Even in their two head-to-head Super Bowl match ups in the 70’s, the Steelers were 2-0 vs The Cowboys. Look at the Scoreboard and you'll see it says 2-0 Steelers. Even though the Cowboys got a little redemption in the 90’s with their SB XXX win over Pitt, the overall Super Bowl record is at 2-1 Steelers.
Then there was the ring argument. For ten years the Cowboys could say they had more rings than any other franchise in the National Football League. The Boys had five while the Steelers and 49ers had four. Of course the Cowboys had the most! They were...well the Dallas Cowboys! From 1996-2006 the Cowboys had the rings, but in 2006 the Steelers tied them at five. Then in 2009 the Steelers got their unprecedented sixth! Scoreboard Steelers.
The one last argument a Cowboys fan had was that at least the Cowboys have been to more Super Bowls than any other franchise. Well as of 2011, not anymore. The Steelers come to Dallas' home turf to play in their eighth Super Bowl, and tie the Cowboys. It is a very sad day in Cowboy land.
With all the facts on the table it is easy to see the Steelers are the better franchise. Well at least the Cowboys Quarterback isn’t a serial rapist. Point Cowboys. Seriously Metroplex ladies load up on the mace. Big Ben is coming to town!
Breaking News Flash: Dallas also has hotter Women then Pittsburgh! Point Dallas;)Now back to the football blog.
Jerry Jones has single-handedly taken the Greatest NFL Franchise and ruined them. The Steelers have had three coaches in forty years; meanwhile the Cowboys have had three coaches in the last five years. The Steelers are setting an example for the rest of the NFL to follow. If something goes wrong the Steelers don’t fire everybody and start over, they talk to the folks they have in place and fix it. In 1998 Bill Cowher’s Pittsburgh team was 7-9 and in 1999 they were 6-10. Do you think a Dallas Cowboys coach would have gotten another season? Hell No!
Don't get me wrong, I still hate the Steelers, but this Cowboys fan has accepted reality. The reality being that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the greatest franchise in the NFL.

Fantasy Football Advice
Fantasy Football season is here! It’s by far my favorite season. I am not one of those ridiculous people who have 50 different fantasy football teams on every football website known to man. I have one. That’s right one. I play in a 20 team keeper cash league. We are going into our 10th year. I play in one league and one league only because I don’t want my attention diverted from the prize. I keep my mind on the money and the money on my mind.
I was spending a Sunday last year catching the games with my buds and one of the co players started yelling for Frank Gore to score. I thought this was odd since I was playing him and I had Frank the Tank. I had to ask “Why are you wanting Frank to do well? Are you trying to lose this week?” Which he replied “No but I have him 3 other leagues.” 3 other leagues WTF? Ok I have had two teams and even 3 teams but 4? He then informed me that he had 10 teams in 09. All of them were money leagues. That’s a little overboard! How can you stay focused on any team when you have ten to manage?
I have owned two teams in the past. I get conflicted when I am playing a guy with my other team’s players on his team. Does that make sense? I don't like it therefore I do not do it anymore.
Back in 07 I tried to manage 3 teams and I hate to admit it but my ESPN.com team became a dreaded dead team. I am very ashamed. If you are not going to play don’t commit. There is nothing more annoying then not being able to get a hold of other owners for trade offers or you and another team battling it out for first and seeing the team he his playing hasn’t set their line up since week 3! Which happen to be the week you played Mr. Dead Team and lost!
So for you preparing for the 2010 season remember it’s ok to say no. Do you want to play in my fantasy football league with a bunch of guys who think Ben Tate is a new sports bar? NO! Play fantasy football and play it right. Please keep up with your teams and stay active America.
Best of luck to you!
