Well, these guys already played for FOUR Super Bowl titles in Miami, winning two with the last one against the Bears three years ago.

To say that the Indianapolis Colts will have some sort of homecourt advantage in Super Bowl XLIV is a HUGE understatement. The New Orleans Saints may have the emotional drive going for them but when it comes to playing for the Super Bowl, in Miami, it seems you just can’t go wrong with the Colts.

And in case you didn’t get that, yes, the 16-2 Indianapolis Colts, who won their second AFC championship in four seasons, will play the 15-3 New Orleans Saints for the Super Bowl at Sun Life Stadium in Miami, Florida.

Miami, of course, is old hat for the Colts. All four of their Super Bowl appearances, including their two wins, have taken place in South Florida. And it seems kinda’ strange that the Colts found a way to return to the Super Bowl to play the New Orleans Saints at the same time the league decided to return to Miami for the big game.

The Colts advanced to their fourth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, their second of the Indianapolis era, by rallying from an 11-point first-half deficit against the New York Jets.

Quarterback Peyton Manning was simply phenomenal as he completed…

Bettors take a trip inside the Octagon before they wet their pants watching the Super Bowl this Sunday.

And in case you didn’t get that, businessman extraordinaire and UFC President Dana White managed to squeeze his little UFC pay per view event right before Super Bowl XLIV.

You read it, before we get to see the Colts and the Saints play for the championship in Miami, Randy Couture and Mark Coleman, two Hall of Famers inside the Octagon, will headline UFC 109: Relentless as both try to make their way back to the title picture in the heavyweight division.

UFC 109 on Saturday, February 6 has 11 bouts on the card including the headliner that includes Randy Couture and Mark Coleman. There are five fights on the pay-per-view portion of the card and six preliminary bouts, two of which will be televised on Spike TV.

UFC 109 has a lot of big UFC odds favorites and that is somewhat unusual. Randy Couture is listed as -450 in UFC odds at SBG Global for his bout against Mark Coleman.

Not many people are giving Mark Coleman much of a chance. These two fighters were supposed to meet almost 12 years ago in UFC 17 but Couture was injured and pulled out. Couture is a five-time UFC champion and he has proven that he can still win big fights as he got a unanimous decision against Brandon Vera at…

Can you believe that?

With all the hype surrounding Super Bowl XLIV this Sunday, BetUS.com wants all of you to bet on a couple of movie stars who are having some sort of ”love spat” if you will.

Of course, since most of you still fantasize about Angelina Jolie, those folks from BetUS.com know ya’ll will bet on these betting odds anyway since the Super Bowl is still more than a couple of days away and you don’t have anything else to do.

And in case you haven’t heard, there are rumors that claim Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are splitting up. Of course, we have no idea if the rumors are actually true are not but as far as Brangelina is concerned, the Hollywood couple were having dinner when the rumors broke out.

So where did the rumors come from? Apparently, it all began after Brad Pitt’s real estate purchase. Pitt bought a new house next door to the one he currently shares with Jolie and according to the rumors, the house Pitt bought is going to be a bachelor pad so he and Jolie can split up.

The rumors also claim that Pitt wanted to live next door so he can still be close enough to the kids.

However, according to TMZ.com, the house in question was actually bought back in August of last year, that means Pitt already bought the house waaay before any of the rumors about them splitting up came out. TMZ also explained that Pitt bought the house so he could expand the sprawling estate he and Angelina already own.

Of course, that won’t stop you from speculating right? That’s why…

For the first time since 1980, the Pro Bowl will be played somewhere other than Honolulu.

That’s right, the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl between the AFC’s and NFC’s best will take place Sunday, Jan. 31, 2010, at Dolphin Stadium in South Florida. It will feature some intriguing match ups too. Nowhere will that be more evident than when the NFC wide receivers try to shed the AFC’s starting cornerbacks.

With the Jets’ Darrelle Revis and the Raiders’ Nnamdi Asomugha pestering and shadowing DeSean Jackson, Miles Austin, and Sidney Rice, the NFC may find it difficult to get any sort of big play in the passing game. Throw in Ed Reed at free safety and Brian Dawkins at strong safety, and the NFC’s offensive coordinator Jason Garrett may want to consider calling Barry Switzer to get some quick pointers on the wishbone.

On the contrary, you have to like the NFC stable of quarterbacks over what the AFC is running out there. Matt Schaub will start for the AFC and will be backed up and at some point, replaced by Vince Young and David Garrard.

Meanwhile, the NFC is running Aaron Rodgers onto the field first, and then Donovan McNabb, and eventually Tony Romo. The NFC quarterbacks should be able to carry the day, providing they have any open receivers.

The running back duel will be the other place of greatest intrigue. The AFC’s Chris Johnson, the guy who makes greased lightning look like a lumbering lineman, was the first…

Oh yes, the former Raiders, former Tennessee Volunteers coach will now take over the helm at USC.

The USC Trojans have a new head coach heading to the 2010 NCAA college football season. In case you didn’t know it yet, Lane Kiffin is now coaching at USC after one season at Tennessee.

Lane Kiffin will replace Pete Caroll, who left the USC Trojans to coach the Seattle Seahawks. Of course, those folks supporting the Tennessee Volunteers did not like Kiffin’s move one bit.

The 34-year old Lane Kiffin was the offensive coordinator in USC before his brief stints with the Oakland Raiders and the Volunteers. For Kiffin, this was not an easy decision to make knowing the support he got from the organization. ”I really believe the only place I would have left here to go was, Southern California,” he said.

His father, respected defensive coach Monte Kiffin, and longtime USC assistant Ed Orgeron, will also leave the Tennessee Volunteers to join him.

Carroll left USC after winning 97 games, seven Pac-10 championships and two national titles over the past nine seasons. Kiffin is one of Carroll’s top followers. Kiffin, a former Fresno State quarterback, worked his way up to offensive coordinator in 2005 while also showing impressive skills as the Trojans’ recruiting coordinator after Orgeron’s departure from Los Angeles.

For two seasons, Kiffin shared responsibility for the Trojans’ offense with fellow longtime Carroll assistant Steve Sarkisian, who left USC to take over at Washington after the 2008 season.

Kiffin went 7-6 at Tennessee last season as the youngest…

Yep, his six-year contract is up and he wants some more dollars from the Patriots.

With the New England Patriots missing out on playing for another title at Super Bowl XLIV, this is probably not the right time to ask the organization to bend over and pay you more dollars.

Well, it seems that didn’t stop Vince Wilfork from bitching about how his team placing the franchise tag on him would be a ‘’slap in the face.” While the Patriots haven’t ‘’slapped Wilfork’s face” yet, the six-year vet is daring the Patriots to do just that with the way he’s been demanding shit lately.

”I want a long-term deal or I want to be free. Point blank,” Wilfork, who plays defensive tackle for the New England Patriots, said during an interview on Boston sports radio station WEEI.

”I didn’t like that six-year deal but I did honor my six-year deal,” Wilfork said, referring to the deal he signed with the Patriots back when he was a rookie. ”Now that the deal is up, it’s time for me to move forward, with the Patriots or without the Patriots.”

”[The franchise tag] is decent money for most people out there. What I do, it’s OK. But I don’t look at myself as an OK player. Like I said, it’s just basically a slap in my face and an insult to me to basically tell me I’m an OK player.”

”There’s a short window of opportunity for me to make…”

It’s that time of the year when bettors go ga-ga over one huge football game, betting on everything from coin tosses to who among the Colts will wear panties.

Well, maybe not that last one. (I hope…) Seriously, Super Bowl XLIV should once again generate all kinds of betting propositions since this is only the biggest sporting event of the year other than the World Cup and it will be the last time we’ll ever get to enjoy football until we hit August again later this year.

Get ready, because here they come again, Super Bowl prop bets. Every year, a part of the media coverage around the big game focuses on the astounding number of proposition betting options that online sportsbooks roll out.

These prop bets range from the obvious (correct score of the game) to the unique (the Over/Under on the length of the national anthem). Over the next week and a half, we’ll look at some of the Super Bowl prop betting options offered and where the betting public are putting their money.

On that note, SPORTSBETTING.com has hundreds and hundreds of props listed and some of the most innovative options you’ll find anywhere.

Let’s get the popular coin toss one out of the way at the start here. The prop bet ”will the opening coin toss be heads or tails?” is currently listed at -115 for both options (I don’t really see this line moving due to heavy one-sided action…)

The Total for the Super Bowl is at 56 and of course there are…

And the weirdest part about this is the fact that Arenas is finally taking it seriously.

You read it, the NBA finally suspended Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton for the entire 2010 NBA basketball season.

This is after Gilbert Arenas brought some of his own guns inside the Verizon Center to ”provoke” Javaris Crittenton to shoot him on the very same knee that always kept Arenas out of NBA action the last couple of years.

Gilbert Arenas says it was meant to be a joke, something his teammate Javaris Crittenton didn’t get and neither did NBA Commissioner David Stern. What made it even worse is the fact that Arenas wasn’t taking the whole thing seriously. Until now of course.

”The NBA has conducted a thorough investigation of events relating to this matter,” NBA Commissioner David Stern said. ”It is not disputed that, following an argument on the team’s flight home from a game in Phoenix, both Mr. Arenas and Mr. Crittenton brought guns to the Verizon Center locker room and, with other players and team personnel present or nearby, displayed them to one another in a continuation of their dispute. The players engaged in this conduct despite a specific rule set forth in the collective bargaining agreement between the NBA and the Players Association prohibiting players from possessing a weapon at an NBA facility…

Because once he gets drafted to the Browns, the Lions or the Bills, winning will soon be just a pigment of his imagination.

The future stars of the 2010 NFL Draft class will take the field for the 61^st Under Armour Senior Bowl on Saturday January 30, 2010. This will give them NFL scouts an opportunity to evaluate these talents further and finally decide who’ll be that one guy who can finally save their godforsaken franchise.

One of the players to watch out is Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow. Tebow accepted the challenge to play in the Under Armour Senior Bowl by officially accepting an invitation to the senior showcase event.

Aside from Tebow, three other signal callers will participate in the Under Armour Senior Bowl. Oregon State’s Sean Canfield, Central Michigan’s Dan LeFevour and Cincinnati’s Tony Pike have all accepted invitations to the 2010 game.

Sean Canfield earned first team All-Pac-10 honors his senior season after throwing for 3,271 yards and 21 touchdowns. His 251.6 passing yards per game was tops in the Pac-10 and he ranked second in the league in passing efficiency at 141.9. He led the Beavers to an 8 and 5 record and Las Vegas Bowl appearance this season while setting the school mark for completion…

Heeere we go again.

In what has now become an annual tradition in the NFL, football fans will once again wait for Favre’s decision on whether he’ll walk away from football and retire or if he’ll give it another shot once we crown another champion at Super Bowl XLIV.

For the fourth straight year, (or fifth… probably…) Brett Favre will talk to his family and decide if giving it another go next season is ”the right thing to do.” But as of this writing, Favre says his return for another campaign is ”highly unlikely.” And in case you were wondering, yes, you heard that one from him before.

”Just wondering if I can hold up, especially after a day like today,” Favre said after throwing for 310 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions for the Minnesota Vikings last Sunday in their loss to the New Orleans Saints. ”Physically and mentally. That was pretty draining. I am going to go home, a couple of days and just talk it over with the family.”

In case you didn’t know, Brett Favre has been contemplating on retirement for years. Heck, the guy ALREADY RETIRED, TWICE, but decided to come back anyway. He came back to play for the New York Jets after his first retirement then retired again after missing the playoffs only to come back last August to play for the Minnesota Vikings.

With Favre once again at that time of the year, can we…
