The newest story in Green Bay involves the team’s willingness to sign Michael Vick, fresh out of jail and looking for a way back into the NFL. While I despise Vick as a person for his disgusting behavior of a few years ago, his talent may help the cause of this packers team. Let’s have a look at the pros and cons.

Seattle Slew, horse racing’s lone remaining living Triple Crown winner, passed away on May 7, 2002 at the age of 28. Already ranked among the all time greats by virtue of this accomplishment alone, Slew is even more notable as the only Triple Crown winner to go undefeated as a three year hold. He came from humble beginnings, bought at public auction–the only Triple Crown winner to be acquired in this manner. After retiring to stud in 1978 he remained a very profitable horse based on a stud fee of $300,000. His offspring earned over $76 million dollars at the race track and include over 100 stakes race winners including 1984 Kentucky Derby champion Swale.

Juan Martin del Potro. A young tennis star on the rise, with what may be one of the brightest futures in men’s tennis. Del Potro stormed into the picture last summer, establishing himself as a legitimate top-tier professional with an amazing hard court win streak that spanned 23 matches before the US Open. Del Potro won four straight tournaments in the process, making him as dangerous on hard courts as any player not named Roger.

Sports betting futures wagers can be an entertaining and profitable investment, but there are a number of pitfalls. These are some things to avoid:

The NFC East is a division that has been pretty great in the past, however I don’t expect so much this year. I think the Eagles should be dominant in this division this year.

Just as it seemed that Nuggets were unstoppable, blowing past the Hornets and breezing by the Mavericks, they hit a wall (LA). The Lakers were able to derail the Nuggets right in their tracks and moved on to the finals with ease.
