Lisa Perry’s Playboy Interview Suggest Peyton May Actually Like Chicks—This One In Particular

Lisa-Perry-Playboy.jpg

Our good friends at Gambling911 may have their own perfectly timed controversy on their hands in the wake of the whole Carolina Panthers cheerleader lesbo bathroom romp thing as their hot-ass free pick “expert” Lisa Perry, who appears in this month’s Playboy as its “Employee of the Month” feature, has a very interesting interview regarding her former stint as an Indinanapolis Colts cheerleader. In the brief interview, Perry suggests that in some way she left being a cheerleader because she couldn’t/didn’t adhere to the whole “no fraternizing with players” rule—and one high-profile, Chesney-loving quarterback may be the guy. Here is the full transcript of this month’s interview:

PLAYBOY: How long have you been cheering for the Colts?

LISA: I was with the Colts for five years and I was a captain, but I’m no longer a Colts cheerleader. I still root for them to win, but right now, I’m actually a reporter for Gambling911.com.

PLAYBOY: Any reason for the change?

LISA: Most NFL teams have rules about fraternizing with the players.

PLAYBOY: Details, please.

LISA: It’s a good story. We were in Tokyo for a preseason game. Afterward I went to my room to take a shower. Other girls came in, and they were sitting around eating when there was a knock on the door. I figured it was another cheerleader, so I said, “Come in.” The door opened and it was a couple of players. I was like, “Shut my door. What are you guys doing?” I’m in a towel. It looks bad—though I do look good in a towel. Sure enough, I got caught. A high-profile player, who shall remain nameless, was hiding in my shower.

PLAYBOY: Sounds innocent enough.

LISA: It was 100 percent—this time. But my director had it in for me all year. The anti-fraternization rule is the worst. It just happens I’m friends with the players and I’ll stay friends with them.

Gambling911.com’s CEO Chris Costigan confirmed that the story was true and that it was a high-profile player. He joked that it “could be Edgerin James.” We doubt it. The implication in the story that is that it’s Peyton Manning. Now, we know there have been rumors about Peyton’s sexuality being tossed around by our Pete Rose-hating brother site at Deadspin, but this should in some way relieve Peyton of his supposed homo tendencies, no? Peyton Manning hiding in the shower of a hot cheerleader in Tokyo does change our minds about things. A little bit. We just hope his wife is as understanding as we are.

Online Aussies Are Crazy About The Ponies

READ MORE: Australians, Emirates Cup, Gambling 911, Horse Racing

DIVA.jpgFrom our hurricane-rattled chums at Gambling 911, comes a report that Australians are not just a bunch of dudes chucking boomerangs and wrestling crocodiles. Nope, they also bet on horses. A lot. At the start of Emirates Melbourne Cup Day, betting traffic was so heavy that the betting web sites of both the Victorian TAB and their NSW TAB division were down for at least part of the day. Telstra’s BigPond sports site was also down in the middle of the day. BG didn’t cover this event because he was once molested by an Australian horse as a teenager. The memories are too painful for him.

Wayne Allyn Root: Loves Suits, Hates Gangstas

READ MORE: Gambling 911, Wayne Allyn Root

Kajillionaire gambling huckster Wayne Allyn Root values his own opinion a lot. So much that he has a book out called “Millionaire Republican: Why Republicans Get Rich—And How You Can Too”, which, we’re assuming is 400 pages of asshole-dom pruned very heavily by an editor in order to get to that elusive point that proves so vital to most books. Ahem. Anyway, Root is also a columnist for Gambling 911 and in his third column this week, Root tackles the problem of NBA stars dressing like thugs and their objection to the dress code. His tricky navigation between outright bigotry and socioeconomic snobbery is quite disturbing, if not very telling of Root’s mindset. Oh and he also manages to plug his book every third paragraph.:

“Young African American kids- and increasingly all American kids- want to model their attire and attitudes after their NBA heroes (as well as the gangster rap stars they see on MTV). But those kids are being led down a path of despair, destruction, pain and failure (see the victims left behind in the streets of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina). Millions of poor inner city kids that dress like NBA stars, do not get paid like NBA stars. The result is their choice of jewelry, tattoos, gangster attire and casual gym-wear will only qualify them for menial jobs sweeping streets, cutting meat or gutting fish at 3 AM in a freezing market, cleaning offices, or delivering pizzas. Is that a positive thing? Should an entire generation of kids be condemned to the worst and lowest paying jobs that society offers simply because they were taught the wrong lesson by their favorite sports star? Should young adults with eager and open minds be taught that looking, acting and dressing like a gangster or inmate is the way to achieve success? Is that good for society, or those kids? The answer of course is a resounding NO! If you fail at becoming a sports star, but continue to dress and act like one, your dress and attitude will be held against you.”

Yes—it will be held against you. By people like Wayne Allyn Root. But, hey, he has a point—if these guys never dressed for success where would any of them be?:

500-1a.jpg One more reason to stay away from gaming expos—liver-stopping viruses. According to Gambling 911, at the Global Gaming Expo in Las Vegas held Sept. 13-15th, one of its attendees was manning a free ice cream booth whilst in the final stages of hepatitis A—an ugly, but not neccessarily fatal liver disease. Reports say that up to 25,000 people may have been exposed to the disease during the conference. The Clark County Health District is now in the midst of its investigations. Those of you in the industry should make it a point to stay away from the yellow-tinted people the next few days—even though they look really cool.

NFL Betting: Is Lisa Perry the New Jimmy the Greek?

READ MORE: Gambling 911, Lisa Perry, NFL Betting, Sports Handicapping

blackeye.jpgAccording to Gambling911.com, yes. The former Indianapolis Colts cheerleader went 10 and 5 with her NFL picks last week after going 2 adn 0 her first week. Call it female intuition or her five years of experience on the sidelines at football games, or call it, well, dumb fucking luck, but Gambling 911 is already touting her as one of the most “successful female sports handicappers of all time.” This may be a bit of a stretch, given it is Week 2, but we’ll play along. We’ll follow Miss Perry’s picks next week and see if she can continue this 78% winning percentage.

‘Two For the Money’ Irks Legit Handicappers

READ MORE: Gambling, Gambling 911, Movies, Two For the Money

TWOFORMONEY.jpgThe new gambling movie starring Al Pacino and Matthew McCounaughey Two For The Money has some sportsbook handicappers a little annoyed at the way their industry is being portrayed, according to Gambling911. The movie, which has McConnaughey as a former college athlete-turned super-stud game picker, is apparently a little behind the times in the way it shows its wiseguys. Although many of the sportsbooks in the story have yet to actually see the film, they have their doubts as to its veracity even though it’s, er, a “movie”:

“I will be very surprised if there is not a scene with guns at the end of the film,” [Lawrence]Prezman[President of who2beton] commented. “A car chase and a gun scene smack in the middle of a friggin’ movie about (sports) handicapping would not surprise me in the least.”

What about explosions? No explosions? And boobs? Boobs are cool still, right? Do legit handicappers like boobs?

Oddjack Loves Our Creepy-Ass Readers

Apparently, we’re getting too Safe For Work over here at Oddjack as one desperate reader implores us to please, please, please make Oddjack more wanktastic:

I have been visting you site for a few months now and
really do enjoy the content. You provide relevent(sic)
information and humerous offings, overall a very good
website. I would like to see more pictures of
attractive women on the site. When I first began
visting I would see a few goood pictures a day to
supplment(sic) to meaningful content. However I do not see
that nearly as much. Keep up the good work.

Well, we like attractive women as much as the next greasy perv, of course. We even watched Emanuelle Vs. Dracula last night after the Eagles’ game just to pep our wounded spirits. However, we’ve been instructed to keep the photos of mountain-chested poker players to a minimum, lest we sully the good name of America’s favorite fat man sport. However, we are nothing if not respectful of your needs. Here are a few gambling sites that are quite beav-happy and should make things better:

We, on the other hand, plan to continue to just scare the crap out of you with photos of ESPN Insider columnist Scott Engel:

Indianapolis Colts Give G 911 Columnist Legal Shakedown

READ MORE: Gambling 911, Gambling Websites, Indianapolis Colts, Lisa Perry

Lisa-Perry-Gambling911.jpgIt seemed like a good idea at the time. If you do hire a former NFL cheerleader to write for your gambling website than why wouldn’t you use photos of her in said uniform? Because, apparently, it’s illegal. Such is the case of Gambling911.com columnist Lisa Perry, a former Indianapolis Colts cheerleader, who was ordered by the team to cease and desist posting all images of herself in the Colts cheerleading uniform which is, according to the team, “using Club property photo without permission” and “in direct violation of the agreement you signed with the organization on May 5, 2005.” That’s why at Oddjack we only hire the ugliest, most socially awkward writers to helm our site. Who wants that kind of legal hassle? The only person who may be ablet to work for us is none other than ESPN Insider fantasy sports columnist…Scott Engel:

You’re cheap, admit it. You’ll dent a can of Dinty Moore just to get a couple of dimes knocked off the price, so why are you not shopping around when it comes to playing online sportsbooks? Here’s where Gambling911’s President Christopher Costigan can help:

PointSpread.com, which can be found at www.pointspread.com, lists betting odds comparisons from a number of sportsbooks including Bodog.com, BetCRIS.com and Nine.com. These sports betting odds refresh every 30 seconds for your convenience.

Gambling911.com looked at a few of the games slated for the first regular season NFL game of 2005. Here they found that the New Orleans/Carolina game featured a line anywhere from 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 between three different sportsbooks. What’s a savvy sports bettor to do?

“If he likes New Orleans, he takes the +5 1/2 line. If he likes Carolina, the money gets placed at the book offering a -4 1/2 line. Why would you put money down on Carolina at -5 1/2 if you can get a -4 1/2 line, and likewise why would you take the Saints at +4 1/2 when you can get them somewhere else at +5 1/2?”

You’re bonkers if you’re wagering on week one this early, but if you’re going to do it, you might as well get the best spread you can find. Gambling911 suggests opening at least three sportsbook accounts. Add in our horse book, and our four poker accounts, and that’s a lot of Antiguans with our credit card numbers.
