What would make an NFL player switch to another team after he’s played with the same one for years? There could be many reasons for this. First of all, one reason could be for money. Another team may like how well a player performs and want him for their own team. They would then find out how much the player is worth and is currently being paid, and then offer him a substantial amount more to come to their team. No matter how loyal a player is to his team, money is usually all it takes for a player to agree to switch. Even if the player already has millions of dollars in the bank, which he undoubtedly already does, it would still be difficult for the NFL player to turn down more cash.
A second reason why an NFL player might switch to another team is because he likes the other team better. He may have played college football with members on the team he wishes to switch to, or he simply likes the way the other team’s players perform. The coach may be easier to deal with, too. It is quite important for coaches and their players to have a good rapport and good communication, and if they don’t, it can cause various problems. Read more...
NFL players break the rules all the time and get away with it, yet for National Football League coaches, things aren’t usually as lenient. The coaches have stricter rules to follow or they will be fired in a heartbeat. This is because the coaches are more easily replaceable than the players, making the players the prized possessions, not the coaches.
The owners of the team try to get the best person to fill the coach positions, and sometimes when the coach is hired, he will bring players with him from the team that he previously coached. As long as the players are good, this is usually allowed. Read more...
Golden rules are the ones that truly apply. You want to have them in mind and don’t ignore them. Like stars to steer by, they are fixed markers to direct us and keep us moving in the right direction.
Golden rules exist to be applied, to be followed, to guide you. No matter what your main goal is or what problem you confront, the guideline is there. Just consider the golden rule that applies and accept it…
With that in mind, I thought of life in Alabama along with a number of of its unspoken “golden rules”. Listed here are five of the very best “Golden Rules” that are applicable to residing in Alabama.
Golden Rule 1 Choose Between AU or UA! (Some folks might say it’s most critical!): You need to pick between Alabama verses Auburn. You’ll discover that almost everyone you come across in Alabama will ask you who “you are for” in the Iron Bowl. The rivalry is hot, and you must choose sides. Remember, if you don’t choose, folks will think you are weird. So, if nothing else, choose your favorite colors, crimson tide red for Alabama or orange & blue for the Auburn. Read more...

Redshirt freshman quarterback B.J. Daniels threw for three touchdowns and the South Florida Bulls used a tenacious defensive effort to upset visiting West Virginia 30-19 on Friday night. Daniels threw for 232 yards and rushed for 104, compiling more yardage individually than West Virginia amassed as a team. Both teams are now 6-2 on the season.
College football betting aficionados who took the Bulls as +3 home underdogs cashed their tickets with the outright victory. Despite their 6-2 record, West Virginia dropped to 2-5 against the spread in their lined games this season while South Florida evened their college football pointspread record at 3-3 in their lined contests. The 49 combined points barely managed to go OVER the posted total of 47′. Both teams have trended toward the OVER this season, with South Florida going OVER in 4 of 6 lined games and West Virginia OVER in 5 of 7.
Daniels had this rebuke for his team’s doubters after the victory:
“I guess a lot of people doubted us and thought we were going to go down the same patch we did the last two years. That was a lot of garbage that our team didn’t listen to.” Read more...
USC has won their big game against Ohio State twice in back to back years. Its the next game they have problems with. Last year, USC went on the road and lost to Oregon State immediately after defeating the Buckeyes. This year, it was the Washington Huskies who pulled the upset. The Huskies defense shut down the powerful Trojans offense, and Erik Folk kicked a 22 yard field goal with 3 seconds remaining to give Washington a 16-13 victory in Seattle. U
College football betting enthusiasts who took the Huskies as a whopping +19 home underdog were rewarded with the outright victory. The pointspread triumph also went against Washington’s dismal ATS form in recent years”the Huskies were 8-19 ATS overall and 3-15 ATS in Pac 10 games over the past three seasons. The 29 combined points scored went well UNDER the posted total of 52. USC has now gone UNDER in 20 of their last 28 games overall, as well as 15 of their last 18 conference games.
USC was undone by a rare display of sloppy, undisciplined play much to the chagrin of coach Pete Carroll: Read more...
The South Carolina Gamecocks used a nasty defensive effort, combined with an efficient and mistake free performance from quarterback Steven Garcia to upset #4 Mississippi 16-10 at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, SC. The Gamecocks ended a 22 game losing streak against top 5 ranked teams, while Ole Miss dropped their sixth straight SEC opener.
College football betting enthusiasts who took the Gamecocks as +4 home underdogs were financially rewarded with South Carolina’s outright victory. After falling behind 3-0 after the first quarter, South Carolina led 6-3 at halftime and never trailed again. The 26 combined points went UNDER the posted total of 51.
The last time South Carolina had defeated a top five opponent was back in 1981, when they upended North Carolina. After the game, Gamecocks QB Garcia said that while it may not have been a game full of highlight reel plays, the victory was the important thing:
“It was a pretty ugly win, but a win and we’ll take it every time.”
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier agreed:
“It was good to get a win when everybody watches. It was good for all Gamecocks. We thought we could beat them. Thought it was a toss-up game. But the way it turned out, the way our defense played, 16 points was enough.” Read more...
Florida quarterback Tim Tebow shook off the effects of a concussion suffered against Kentucky two weeks ago and returned to lead the #1 ranked Gators to a hard fought 13-3 victory over #4 ranked LSU. Tebow got a good deal of help from a nasty Florida defense, and the largest crowd in LSU history (93,129) left disappointed as the Bayou Bengals offense was almost completely shut down. Florida improved to 5-0 while LSU dropped to 5-1.
College football betting enthusiasts who backed Florida as a -9 road favorite weren’t able to breathe easy until the final whistle, but eventually enjoyed a payday with the narrowest of pointspread covers. The Gators improved their ATS record over the past three years to a glossy 22-7 and they’ve covered 8 of their last 9 on the road. The combined 16 points scored went well UNDER the posted total of 45. The Gators have played UNDER in 2 of their 3 games with a posted total this season, while LSU has gone UNDER in 3 of 5.
After the game, Tebow explained that he tried to play smart but without fear: Read more...
Florida State won their first ACC college football game of the year on Thursday, though it certainly wasn’t easy. The Seminoles were down 24-6 midway through the third quarter before mounting a furious comeback to defeat North Carolina 30-27. The Seminoles improved their overall record to 3-4 while North Carolina dropped to 4-3.
College football betting enthusiasts who overlooked the Seminoles dismal record against the spread were rewarded by Florida State’s outright win as +2′ road underdogs. FSU covered for only the second time this season, upping their record against the college football pointspread to 2-5. The Tar Heels haven’t been a very good investment either, and the loss left their ATS tally at 2-4. The 57 points scored went OVER the posted total of 48′ for the Seminoles fifth OVER in six lined games. North Carolina played OVER for only the second time this season against three UNDER verdicts.
With the uncharacteristically slow start by Florida State, there has been a good deal of speculation that the venerable coach should step away from the program. He expressed some relief in his postgame comments: Read more...
