My picks have gone cold. Ice cold! But like a degenerate I will continue to make wagers. Just going to try and keep the schedule light until I right the ship. Remember these picks are for recreation only.

Ohio St vs. Michigan 12PM

The Wolverines can’t stop anyone. You can’t blame their second half collapse on Tate Forcier or the offense. That blame lies strictly on the defensive side of the ball. For that reason I think the Buckeyes will romp and score all over Michigan.

Pick - Ohio St/Michigan Over  47.5 2 units

Connecticut vs. Notre Dame 2:30PM

UCONN has lost all five games by 4 points or less. They will control the ball on the ground in an attempt to keep Jimmy Clausen and company off the field. Will it be enough to win the game? Maybe not, but it should be enough to cover the number.

Pick - UCONN +6 1 unit

Penn St vs. Michigan St 3:30PM

It is the battle of the Big 10’s top offense against the conference’s top defense. The Spartans attained their ranking by routing the lower level teams, while struggling against the top of the conference. The Nittany Lion’s pass rush should be able to get pressure on Kirk Cousins and lead them to a road victory.

Pick - Penn St. -3 1 unit

Record 24-18-1 +11.5 units

In an effort to upstage Arod, his ex-wife’s new boytoy, Robinson led the NL with 261 strikeouts this year and has stolen back the heart of Ms. Hudson. In honor of this year’s award ceremony, Robinson shaved his trademark beard.  Check out the photos below of Robinson at the press conference and rekindling his relationship with Kate now that he’s proved that he can play in the major leagues too.

50 Cent and his people must not watch the NBA on TNT. On Wednesday, the gangster rapper was the musical star on the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” show, sharing the stage with broadcaster Marv Albert. Backstage as the guests arrived, protectors for the hip- hop star failed to recognize the veteran announcer, resulting in a scuffle and a bruised ego.

“As Albert arrived, with an entourage of one, TNT public relations specialist Jeff Pomeroy, there was a sudden scuffle when a multitude of 50 Cent protectors seemed unfamiliar with Albert. There was shouting (”It’s Marv Albert,” yelled a Kimmel show guard, a pronouncement that seemed to have no effect on the 50 Cent phalanx.) There were obscenities. A fist or two flying. A “Don’t you put your hands on me” pronouncement.

And finally Albert made it to his waiting room, relatively unruffled but slightly puzzled. “Did you see that?” Albert said. “I thought they were kidding, but then I realized they weren’t.”

P.S. I am surprised Marv didn’t bite anyone! (King Ing)

Can Lincecum repeat for the NL Cy Young this year? We’ll find out in a few hours, but in the meantime, the competition is tight this year. Here are the key stats for the five leading contenders.

Here is a little advice. If you are going to taunt the other team you better make sure you make the save. Otherwise you just look like a total jackass. (This is a week old and I don’t know how I missed this)

And I guess for those interested the Thierry Henry handball video is after the jump. FIFA will never admit it, but they got what they wanted. France, Argentina, and Portugal all qualified for the World Cup.

Now will they ever institute instant replay?

Remember this commercial?

Well, it may be coming true.

If LeBron James truly believes he can help the Cleveland Browns, coach Eric Mangini has an orange helmet waiting for him.

“I think he should come on down,” Mangini said.

The NBA superstar, who was an All-State wide receiver in high school, said Tuesday night that if he put the time and commitment into it, he could be a good football player. Mangini agreed, calling James “a freak athletically” and said the 6-foot-8, 260-pounder could be dangerous at tight end, wide receiver or even outside linebacker.

Take this for example. Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas, Andrey Arshavin and Bacary Sagna dress up in furry animal costumes to raise money for the Great Ormond Street Children’s Charity.

The video after the jump. If these people only knew who they were running away from.

Patrick Lalime: “Not my nuts”

I wonder if they shot this video in Gainesville, Florida? The place where jean shorts reign supreme.

This ad brings back memories of those awesome Larry Bird and Michael Jordan McDonald’s commercials.
