The purpose of this thread is to give tribute or scorn to things in the world of sports, betting or whatever. THUMBS UP or THUMBS DOWN .




to sportsbooks that say they have cut limits on players because the players were playing steam when the truth is the book is just timid.

:thumbs_up to the Dallas Mavericks. You knock off the champs, you get a :thumbs_up

:thumbs_up to my friend Shawn for deciding to go into a drug and alcohol treatment program. It's not an easy decision but it's the right one. He has been getting very painful to watch. Time to give living a chance.

:thumbs_up to the Edmonton Oilers who have taken a 2-0 semi-final series lead over Anaheim with a couple of road victories. Nice job. Let's bring the Cup back to Canadian soil. It has been away too long.

:thumbs_up to Michael Falk for winning this year's Jeopardy Tournament of Champions. Extremely impressive comeback win in Friday's decisive game. Respect.

Not much I really like about Dallas, but I've still got to echo Mud's kudos to the Mavericks. They knocked off the champs and now have just Phoenix standing between them and the franchise's first NBA Finals appearance.

To Ozzie Smith and Tony LaRussa for both acting like spoiled little brats and continuing their decade-long spat in the press instead of having the cojones to meet face-to-face and either work it out or duke it out.

:thumbs_up to White Sox fans who gave Frank Thomas a well deserved round of applause during his first plate appearance last night.
