One of my locals still has Conn Smythe odds up. Hockey fans, agree/disagree with the value here?

2014 CONN SMYTHE TROPHY - ODDS TO WIN

[907332] PATRICK KANE (BLACKHAWKS) +1000

300/3000

Good value. He has to be the favorite if Chicago wins.

Agree, thanks. How are IDP projections coming? I'm interested what you have for Shazier and Mosley.

Just submitted my first run, but they need to be tweaked a bit probably.

I had:

Shazier at 82 solos / 38 assists / 2 sacks / 1 INT

Mosley at 82 solos / 40 assists / 2 sacks / 1 INT

almost identical. I like Mosley better as a player, but Shazier seems to be a safer bet to get a full-time role right away.

Telvin Smith?

Really think Norton needs to re-think that one.

Like he sucks?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Telvin Smith?

I'm way low on him too, but will adjust him up.

Have him at 62/32/1/1 now

Has him at 15 tackles and 5 asst.

Does he have him injured and on IR by week 3?

Covers goodness...

Don't miss his elaboration in post #3.

 

[got_nugs]

if you like over 7.5 goal bets...YOU LOVE THIS SERIES!

 

[TheGooRoo]

Nope, says 16 games. 0 sacks, 0 ff, o int, 0 pd too...guess he just doesn't think the guy will see the field much.

Fatal misunderstanding of statistics??? OH COME ON.

THERE HE IS!!!

I thought you went to look for Bender.... who went to look for Doc.... who went to look for BRONG.

 

[tjnc09]

Whomever kept setting that total at 5 probably doesn't have a job nor a life right now

 

[got_nugs]

I posted this in the NBA thread, found on deadspin...it's my absolute favorite thing today.

 

[tjnc09]

Only one tonight:

Quintana/Kershaw o6.5 +105

Missed out on two others not getting them in last night.

 

[Raider Nation]

Page 3? Shame on you first-shift guys!

I'm on King Felix against my boys tonight.... $1,330 to win $1,000.

He's back to his Cy Young form and the Yanks aren't hitting a lick. The M's may still be without Cano, but if they can scratch out a few runs, that should be good enough. Felix always seems to dominate the Yanks anyway. Now that they aren't hitting, it's too good to pass up.

Added another 50%. If they hit Felix around, I'll throw some solid objects around the house then tip my cap.

 

[John Bender]

I'll tail because I'm back and drinking.

Hellllllllllo everybody.

 

[Raider Nation]

They finally moved off of -133 after I went back for the third time.

I like the Royals tonight.

Seattle/Yanks update:

2-0 Mariners. Yanks have 2nd & 3rd with two out in the bottom of the 4th. Ichiro hits a ball up the middle that would be a routine out. Felix kicks it on purpose, and redirects it. One run scores. The dickhead shortstop, for reasons unknown, tries to play the deflection barehanded, even though he would have had ZERO shot of throwing out Ichiro at 1st. He totally whiffs on it, of course, allowing the tying run to score.



New ballgame in the 5th.

One of the biggest blowouts of last year's college football season was the viewership battle between ESPN's College GameDay and Fox Sports 1's Fox College Saturday. The final numbers: Game Day averaged 1,830,000 viewers while FCS averaged 73,000. ESPN said GameDay's least-viewed episodes had more viewers than all but three of FS1's game telecasts. Fox College Saturday also had another bad trend: The show opened with 107,000 viewers and sank to 44,000 viewers on Nov. 23.If you ask people at competing sports networks how to attack a dominant show, they'll tell you that you have to do something totally different than the prevailing leader -- and FS1 appears to be heading in that direction. Multiple sources have told SI.com that Fox Sports management is considering moving Fox College Saturday to Friday night and changing up some of the staffing. There is also talk of starting a new college football show on Saturday that will be gambling-centric, similar to what Fox Sports Live did during the NCAA basketball tournament when it did live remotes from Las Vegas. Nothing is finalized as of yet.

"Like we do after every one of our sports properties' season concludes, we discuss and evaluate how we can make our coverage better for the viewers," said Fox Sports spokesperson Dan Bell on Sunday. "That process and those discussions are still ongoing regarding our college football production plans."

Of course no matter the format or content play, or even staying at status quo, Fox Sports 1 is going to struggle to siphon viewers from GameDay given ESPN's dominant position and standing with viewers on Saturday mornings. But there is more trouble for FS1 on the horizon -- ESPN's upcoming SEC Network. The new network's pregame show ("SEC Nation") debuts August 28 at Columbia, S.C. That show will air every Saturday from 10-noon ET and features known broadcasting talent (see below). It will also have the benefit of being onsite at some of college football's great venues. There's also NBCSN's Saturday coverage of Premier League soccer, a property that gained a healthy amount of sports viewers last year. It's a killer timeslot.

Interestingly, Fox Sports 1 is clearly considering pushing gaming as an element of its coverage and that play has potential -- as well as some downside. Smart gambling segments are interesting and it's an untapped market in sports television. But such segments can also quickly become little more than a hot takes personality screaming out picks and praising himself (it's always a dude) when a pick hits the previous week. Gambling is also something that makes the NCAA queasy. It's going to be interesting to see where Fox Sports lands here -- it'll be tough to top the existing leader.

Hire Stevens and Pirelli, IMO.

McHugh for me tomorrow.
