Saturday, we’ll find out who among the 2007 NCAA Final Four will go on and play for the 2007 NCAA College Basketball national title.

The Florida Gators, the UCLA Bruins, the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Georgetown Hoyas are your 2007 NCAA Final Four. Yep, the defending NCAA College Basketball champion Gators are still around trying to defend their title.

Speaking of the Florida Gators, Joakim Noah and the rest of the crew will face the UCLA Bruins in a rematch of last year’s NCAA College Basketball national championship game. The Gators won big time then, easily dismantling the Bruins 73-57, en route to their first national title.

Yep, expect them Gators to do much of the same. He he… The UCLA Bruins can’t beat these guys and don’t expect Florida to slip with a win away from going back to the biggest stage in college hoops.

‘’The ultimate goal is to do it again,'’ Florida’s Chris Richard said. ‘’We’re one step away from the championship.'’

Florida beat UCLA last year in a rout, for its first national championship. That turned out to be the first half of a Gator Slam. When Florida beat the Ohio State Buckeyes for the national football title in January, the Gators became the first school to be champs in both sports at the same time.

Yep, the Florida Gators sure know how to win them national titles eh?

As for their BCS Championship rivals, the Ohio State Buckeyes are preparing for a BCS rematch with Florida only this time, it will be for the NCAA College Basketball national title. But before the Buckeyes do that, they have the tough Georgetown Hoyas in their side of the 2007 NCAA Final Four battles.

The Georgetown Hoyas already killed one giant, that being the North Carolina Tar Heels. Of course, Ohio State is a different giant to deal with, especially with a dominating giant named Greg Oden looking to have his way inside the…

Yep, we’re still talking about the murder of Pakistan head coach Bob Woolmer.

There are rumors flying around that Pakistan head coach Bob Woolmer was murdered to hide the match-fixing scandal involving Pakistan and Ireland in the 2007 Cricket World Cup.

Yep, Woolmer was rumored to be working on a document where he plans to expose the match-fixing that took place when his Pakistan cricket national team lost to Ireland that ultimately eliminated them from the tournament. Understandably, people involved in the alleged match-fixing scandal couldn’t afford to have Woolmer’s words out in the open, leading us to where we are now.

Of course, the entire Ireland cricket national team is not happy about these developments. Ireland team captain Trent Johnston has already dismissed the idea that their win over 2007 Cricket World Cup powerhouse Pakistan was fixed.

‘’We keep hearing things about match-fixing,'’ said Johnston, who felt the rumors demeaned Ireland’s display. ‘’You only have to look at that game and the way we bowled and fielded and I was just hugely proud of the guys.'’

Johnston adds, ‘’All the rumors about the match have probably taken the shine off it a little for us, but this is the first day it’s really sunk in that we’re here and we’re pinching ourselves a bit.'’

‘’It is a tragedy what happened to Bob and it has taken away a little of the excitement, but we’ve had to move on.'’

In other words, SCREW WOOLMER, WE’RE IN THE 2007 CRICKET WORLD CUP SUPER 8!

Jamaican police investigating the Bob Woolmer murder case dismissed some media reports that claim suspects on Woolmer’s killer have been identified. Deputy police commissioner Mark Shields hit out at ‘’totally wrong'’ reports and said speculation was unhelpful. He said police were ‘’nowhere near'’ naming names and emphasized that the probe was likely to…

Remember former NBA All-Star Michael Ray Richardson? Well I don’t.

Anyway, in case you do, the former NBA Basketball superstar, now coaching for the Continental Basketball Association (CBA), was suspended after making anti-Semitic slurs in a time when former NBA stars start proclaiming they’re either gay or hate gay people.

Michael Ray Richardson, head coach of the Albany Patroons, was suspended by the team for the rest of the CBA Championship series for the anti-Semitic comments he made to the Albany Times Union.

He was talking about the contract general manager Jim Coyne was offering to him for Richardson to coach the GM’s team in both the CBA and the USBL when he made the controversial comments.

‘’I've got big-time lawyers,'’ Richardson said, according to the Times Union. ‘’I've got big-time Jew lawyers.'’

The Albany Times Union then told the coach that by him saying that, he might offend some people because it plays the stereotype that Jews are crafty and shrewd. So what did Michael Ray Richardson say?

‘’Are you kidding me? They are. They’ve got the best security system in the world. Have you ever been to an airport in Tel Aviv? They’re real crafty. Listen, they are hated all over the world, so they’ve got to be crafty.'’

And yeah, Mr. Richardson wasn’t done, ‘’They got a lot of power in this world, you know what I mean? Which I think is great. I don’t think there’s nothing wrong with it. If you look in most professional sports, they’re run by Jewish people. If you look at a lot of most successful corporations and stuff, more businesses, they’re run by Jewish. It’s not a knock, but they are…'’

Apparently, England teammate Peter Crouch thinks otherwise.

Fans of the Manchester United superstar, Wayne Rooney, were wondering when will their favorite England football player get back to form. They WERE anyway.

Now, they just want England to get rid of the guy as the fans want their country to have a strong performance in the ongoing 2008 Eurpoean Championship qualifiers. Peter Crouch, on the other hand, is quick to his teammate’s defense.

Peter Crouch believes ‘’blossoming'’ England striker Wayne Rooney (if you can still call him that…) does not deserve the torrent of criticism that has recently come his way. Crouch believes Rooney should be given time to rediscover the form that made him the man that will carry the torch in England after David Beckham.

‘’Wayne Rooney is a fantastic talent and you don’t want to curb that, you want to let him play his natural game,'’ Peter Crouch said.

‘’Although at times he can still get carried away, I think if you take that (aggressive streak) away, he wouldn’t be half the player he is. He is maturing and he’s a big asset to the England side. He’s still a very young player and has been through so much in his career already.'’

‘’Everyone can see he’s blossoming at Manchester United, playing with probably the best team in the country at the moment, and he’s someone we shouldn’t be abusing.'’

‘’We should enjoy his talents, encourage him, and hopefully they’ll come to the fore and…'’

Guess what, the NBA found another way to ban another one of their players from something.

After furiously giving Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant all those suspensions, the NBA found another victim and this time, it’s Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas, banning the guy from, get this… betting on NBA games.

Well, not exactly, it turns out, what the NBA didn’t like was the fact that Gilbert Arenas, being the cocky sonuvabitch that he is, made a stupid $10 bet with a fan that he will make the game’s winning basket when they were playing the Portland Trailblazers.

During that game’s pregame introductions, Gilbert Arenas was booed by the entire Rose Garden crowd in Portland, Oregon. Of course, after making a couple of comments that you hate the Blazers head coach Nate McMillan’s guts, what do you expect?

The Washington Wizards superstar hates all of the US basketball team coaches after cutting him from the roster. He has been on a hunt ever since. Hell, the guy even wants to play against Duke and show Blue Devils head coach Mike Krzyzewski the mistake that cost team USA yet another tournament debacle.

Mike Krzyzewski was the head coach of the US national basketball team.

Gilbert Arenas made the bets as he bantered with fans throughout the Wizards’ 100-98 loss. He was booed during pregame introductions and whenever he touched the ball because he had promised to score 50 points against the…

Yep, it was I, J.J. Jack, who got Serena Williams furious while she was playing the lovely Maria Sharapova.

There I was minding my own business in the 2007 Sony Ericsson Open match between Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova when I saw the entire crowd turn on me with one remark coming from my mouth.

I told Serena, ‘’Hit the net like any Negro would.'’ Of course I knew that when Serena heard this, she’ll lost her focus for sure and then the hot and sexy Maria Sharapova will beat her and move on, thus allowing the horny male to keep staring at her skirts, waiting for it to fly open.

The only problem was, it didn’t faze Serena one bit, prompting her to beat the sex goddess handily. Dammit!

‘’The guy said, ‘Hit the net like any Negro would.’ I was shocked,'’ Serena Williams said. ‘’I couldn’t believe it. I had to do a double take. I think I hit a double fault on that point.'’

Well, at least it worked right?

‘’I shouldn’t have let it bother me, because growing up in Compton we had drive-bys,'’ said Williams, who was raised in Los Angeles. ‘’I guess that’s what my dad prepared me for, but I’m not going to stand for it.'’

Fans and security confirmed a man heckled Williams inappropriately, tournament director Adam Barrett…

U2 frontman, Bono, could not be ignored aymore.

Even the British empire succumbed to his ever growing power and gave him its highest honor — British Knighthood. But you can’t call him Sir Bono.

The title of ’sir’ is only reserved to citizens of the United Kingdom or British Commonwealth countries. Ireland left the Commonwealth when it became a republic in 1949. That kinda sucks, it’s like saying: “We’re giving you the pudding but you can’t actually eat it.” It’s just, well, a symbol.

To his son though, his daddy just became a Jedi. So you can call him ‘master’ instead.

That’s fine, Mollygood says, because while still a majorly honorable guy, Bono doesn’t offer full righteousness, even though he’s quite privileged.

That’s not exactly a good thing to say, but many in Ireland fairly share this sentiment. Bono is being criticized for accepting the award from Britain by some Irish nationalists. Which he was quick to dismiss proclaiming “I think Great Britain is great,”

He thinks America is great, too, and uses this kiss-ass attitude to push the two superpowers to slice a bigger share of it annual budget for his favorite charity, Africa.

To which one would wonder if Bono is simply making nice so he can push his own agenda.

On the other hand, his agenda involves feeding millions of starving people and finding cure for AIDS. And he’s been making progress, though slowly. I mean, c’mon, he convinced the rich countries to dismiss foreign debts of many third world nations. That’s gotta…

Okay, I admit it, cricket is boring.

As much as Syndicate loves the 2007 Cricket World Cup, one can’t deny that the game of cricket is just plain complicated, too confusing and yeah… BORING. But hey, as of press time, this cricket tournament has narrowed down its field to the Super 8, making this entire thing finally as NEWSWORTHY as the Bob Woolmer murder case.

Yep, just like what we have in the 2007 March Madness bracket tournament where we narrow the Field of 65 teams into the Sweet 16, the Elite Eight, the Final Four and finally, to the two teams that will play for the NCAA College Basketball national title.

In the Super 8 round, every cricket team plays six games against every other team EXCEPT the side they played in the group stage. (Told you it’s confusing…) The Super 8 includes the four group winners; Australia, Sri Lanka, New Zealand and West Indies.

These four teams will begin with two extra points after the win they got from the second-placed teams jammed in the other side of the Super 8. The other side of the Super 8 include England, South Africa, Bangladesh and the somewhat controversial Ireland.

A win in the 2007 Cricket World Cup Super 8 round will result to two points while a tie or a no contest will award a point each. If a team finishes in a tie with another team, the team with the most wins or the best run-rate or most wickets taken per balls bowled brakes…

Yup, here I am again busting my ass for you just so you’ll get all those Benjamins lying around the poker table.

For starters, I would like to tell you that No Limit Texas Hold’em Poker is different from Limit Hold’em, for obvious reasons. Well, if you fail to see the difference, the basic idea of No Limit Texas Hold’em is the fact that players can bet as much as they want, hence the term ‘’no limit'’ whereas Limit Hold’em has this irritating budget ceiling.

In Limit Hold’em, this poker game is more about the starting hands. DO NOT play suited connectors in Limit Hold’em unless of course both cards were higher than a nine.

As for No Limit Texas Hold’em Poker, it’s all about betting and the implied odds that you might have if you happen to end up with a huge hand. For instance, if you can make a $15 call with suited connectors preflop against an opponent with $400, it would be worth it to make the call in certain situations.

Yeah, winning a huge pot with suited connector hands is indeed rewarding BUT what’s even more rewarding is the fact that other players can see that you are capable of playing any two cards.

Initial reactions like, ‘’WTF?!? How could he play a goddamn hand like that when it was raised?'’ or ‘’If this asshole is capable of playing a hand like that, what could he turn over next time?'’ is very normal.

So Forbes snubbed Calvin Ayre on it latest billionaires list. But theys ure are lovin’ this guy for making a fortune on a sex device.

Koichi Matsumoto, a former auto mechanic, decided to make his sexual overdrive a history by inventing the Onanicups. You say what the hell is an Onanicup? Well it’s little device designed to help men get a grip on their sexual desires when a live mate is unavailable.

Read: so you won’t feel the need to masturbate. But whay would you want to do that, right?

But his fellow Japanese are responding because as of today Matsumoto’s company, Tenga, is selling a good 100,000 of them a month. Now we know a lot of guys in that part of the world aren’t getting it.

Matsumoto assures his market that his little invention really works because he tested and perfected it on himself even he had to resort to swallowing a few Viagras. Wait, so this is Viagra-proof too?

Onanicup is now being sold in 120 retail outlets in Japan. And for online shoppers don’t be left out, you can easily order them on Amazon.com.jp.
