THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF THE MOST UNREAL CALLS I HAVE EVER SEEN BY A REFEREE. #THEFIXWASIN

Ohio Bobcats head coach, Frank Solich labeled the call that resulted in a

safety against the Bobcats as “questionable.” UB Bulls head coach Jeff Quinn 

called it “a gift.”

Tom McCabe, the referee who determined the penalty, answered, "Yes, Correct," when asked if he had an inkling he might have been wrong in awarding Buffalo two points during a 30-3 win on Tuesday night.

McCabe was at the center of a play that was displayed multiple times during the nationally televised game.

On 3rd and 7 at the Ohio 27 yard line in the third quarter, Tyler Tettleton, Bobcats quarterback was pushed out of the pocket by UB's player Khalil Mack and Jarrett Franklin. Tettleton backpedalled to his own 4 before throwing the ball away.

McCabe threw the flag on Tettleton for [[ intentional grounding ]] and ruled he had thrown the ball from the end zone, resulting in a SAFETY that put Buffalo ahead 9-3. 

The replay showed Tettleton never went beyond the 4 and also showed McCabe was within 2 yards of the quarterback when he released the ball.

Tettleton’s momentum eventually led him to tumble into the end zone, but it was long after he threw the ball to the sideline.

That’s where McCabe acknowledged he made a mistake. He said he was looking downfield as the quarterback threw the ball.

And when line judge Mike Maisner ruled the pass didn’t cross the line of scrimmage, McCabe said he looked down to see Tettleton in the end zone.

“I looked down and the quarterback was on the ground, 8 yards deep,” McCabe said. “So I thought he threw the ball from the end zone.”

McCabe said the play was not reviewable because it was a spot foul.

The Bulls (7-2, 5-0) grabbed the momentum by scoring touchdowns on their next three possessions and went on to a big Mid-American Conference victory against the Bobcats (6-3, 3-2).

Solich was unhappy with the call, but noted it didn’t ultimately cost the Bobcats the game.

What bothered Solich more was the rule preventing the officials to review it.

“It’s a call that points are scored on,” Solich said. “I believe all calls where points are scored to be reviewed, certainly if there’s a question.”

Quinn said the safety helped turn the tide in the Bulls’ favor.

“I thought it was kind of a gift,” Quinn said. “Yeah, that probably helped us a little more.”

30 for 30 - Jimmy The Greek - What a Great Documentary - GotAction.com

“The NFL Today” on CBS was one of the preeminent sports programs on television in the early 1980s. It was a perfect combination of reporting, analysis, predictions, humor and talent. But there was no personality on the show more popular than Jimmy “The Greek” Snyder. Snyder was born Dimetrios Georgios Synodinos in Steubenville, Ohio.

 According to his New York Times obituary of April 22, 1996, Snyder's family roots were on the island of Chios, Tholo potami in the Aegean Sea. Jimmy overcame childhood tragedy, moved to Las Vegas, and eventually became the biggest name in the world of sports handicapping.

When CBS added him as an “analyst” on “The NFL Today,” “The Greek” not only further increased his stature as a sort of national folk hero, but he also gained an air of respectability never before associated with gamblers.



Peabody Award-winning filmmaker Fritz Mitchell, who broke in as an intern on “The NFL Today,” will examine Snyder’s impact on the growth of sports gambling, while also taking a fresh look at The Greek’s tragic downfall. As a teenager in Ohio, he became acquainted with bookmakers.

According to his autobiography Jimmy the Greek, Snyder bet US$10,000 on the 1948 election between Thomas Dewey and Harry S. Truman, getting 17–1 odds for Truman to win. In a later interview he indicated that he knew Truman was going to win because Dewey had a mustache and "American women didn't trust men with a mustache".

He invested money in oil drilling and coal mining, but when those ventures failed, Snyder moved to Las Vegas in 1956 and began a weekly pro-football betting line.

Snyder appeared in a cameo in the 1981 comedy film The Cannonball Run as a bookie. In the movie he offered 50–1 odds against Formula One driver Jamie Blake (played by Dean Martin) and gambler Morris Fenderbaum (played by Sammy Davis Jr.) winning the Cannonball coast-to-coast endurance race. Jimmy the Greek and Dean Martin were childhood acquaintances in Steubenville, Ohio.

On November 10, 2009, ESPN aired a show in their 30 for 30 series titled The Legend of Jimmy the Greek, which was produced by Fritz Mitchell. Commentary was provided by, among others, Brent Musburger, Irv Cross and Phyllis George from The NFL Today, plus Anthony Snyder Jimmy's son, as well as his brother Johnny and sister Angie. The show also acknowledges his role in the first sportcasts of poker tournaments.

Although Jimmy was largely unknown outside of the United States, in 1974 his name achieved international renown. After beating George Foreman to regain the world heavyweight championship, Muhammad Ali, in the midst of an interview with David Frost, looked into the camera and addressed his doubters. "All of you bow" he said. "All of my critics crawl...All of you suckers bow... If you wanna know any damn thing about boxing, don't go to no boxing experts in Las Vegas, don't go to no Jimmy The Greek. Come to Muhammad Ali."


"The black is a better athlete to begin with because he's been bred to be that way -- because of his high thighs and big thighs that goes up into his back, and they can jump higher and run faster because of their bigger thighs. This goes back all the way to the Civil War when during the slave trading, the owner -- the slave owner would breed his big black to his big woman so that he could have a big black kid."

I never really remember hearing from or of him after he made that statement....
He was fired by CBS, retired from broadcasting, and died 12 years ago. The end.

Why New England should strongly consider Terrell Owens for the 2013-2014 NFL Football Season

GotAction, Inc. believes Terrell Owens would be a great asset to the New England Patriots.

With the 2013 NFL regular season just underway, there are many possible franchises in need of a veteran wide receiver to fill the offensive void plagued by injuries. According to league sources, numerous NFL general managers have already contacted Terrell Owens agent inquiring about his current status and availability. From the outside looking in, GotAction, Inc. feels that Terrell Owens would be a perfect match for the New England patriots. 

Below are a couple of reasons why we feel this should happen.

1. They can get him for a low cost
2. He's still in great shape
3. They are in need of a veteran receiver who possesses experience in the NFL whom can provide knowledge and leadership to the young blood.
4. Gives Tom Brady a big body, physical target that poses a threat over the middle of the field.
5. To prove he still has value and his hunger to exceed and play for a world championship franchise.
6.  Currently Tom Brady has: Gronkowski (injured) Danny Amendola, Tim Tebow along with a bunch of unproven rookies who need a leader and an experienced potential hall of famer.
7. Terrell Owens has learned his lesson about keeping himself, his actions and his overall persona in line due to his release from the Seahawks and lack of interest thereafter.

Yes, No? MAYBE? We Think So...

Briere lands in the perfect spot

Five years older, $47 million richer and considerably more experienced than he was upon leaving town six years ago, Daniel Briere had a slightly different view Thursday morning when it came to unrestricted free agency. If only he had a means of peeking around the corner for the one answer he needed.

“I wish I knew which team was winning the Stanley Cup next year,” Briere said by telephone, hours before signing a two-year deal worth $8 million with the Canadiens. “It would make it a whole lot easier.”

It would, indeed.

Briere ultimately put his faith in the Canadiens, the team he grew up cheering for as a kid while growing up in Quebec and the team he shunned after helping the Sabres reach the conference finals in consecutive years. Two weeks ago, Philadelphia bought out the final two seasons of an eight-year deal worth $52 million and allowed him to become an unrestricted free agent.

Once again, Briere landed in an enviable position after a team allowed him to walk away. Because his contract was bought out, he was allowed to sign with his new team before free agency opened at noon today. Essentially, he had a head start on joining the team of his choice. He also had plenty of suitors.

“You’re trying to find a fit with a team that is excited to bring you on board, a team that feels they have a need for you,” he said. “That’s not possible everywhere.”

It will be interesting to see what happens in free agency. Boston and Dallas made a blockbuster trade Thursday. You can expect more major transactions today. The Sabres’ big move going into the free-agent signing period was … waiving Nathan Gerbe. That should inspire the fan base, no?

By the way, the Sabres were dreaming if they thought they had any real chance of bringing back Briere. Check his DOB: 10/6/77. Check their roster. He’ll be 36 years old this season, and they’re not going anywhere. It’s one thing for them to make their fans suffer, but there was no reason for him to suffer with them.

He had only $5 million remaining on his contract – $3 million for this season and $2 million the following year – when the Flyers cut him loose.

His new deal works for all involved. Money was the least of his concerns, but Montreal is paying him more than he would have made with Philly. The Habs get a proven playoff performer at a bargain price by NHL standards. He has 50 goals and 109 points in 108 career playoff games. He’s certain to help their power play.

Adding his salary he’ll make with Montreal to his buyout, it’s a $5.65 million score for each of the next two seasons.

“I am super excited to join the Canadiens,” said Briere via text. “Playing for my childhood team is a big thrill.”

Montreal fans booed him for years because he didn’t play there after leaving Buffalo. It was a compliment of the highest order. The Habs won the Northeast Division last season and appear to be trending upward under new General Manager Marc Bergevin. Briere also holds assistant GM Larry Carriere in high regard.

“That’s why they’re so interesting,” Briere said. “They’re a team on the rise. For me, that’s a team that’s interesting because of their history and the fact that I grew up cheering for them as a kid. There’s Larry, and I really like what they’ve done the last couple of years.”

He made similar comments about the Flyers and Don Luce when he signed the long-term deal with Philly. He led the Flyers to the Cup finals in 2010, the year Patrick Kane scored the series-clinching goal and his first title with the Blackhawks. Philadelphia made the playoffs in five straight years before falling to 10th after a miserable start last season.

For all the mistakes the Flyers have made in recent years, and there were many, signing Briere was not one of them. The deal worked for both sides. They came close to winning a title but fell short. They’re putting their money on Vincent Lecavalier, who signed a five-year contract worth $22.5 million.

The Canadiens were putting their money on Briere. And he’s pinning his hopes on them.

“Nobody knows what’s going to happen,” he said. “Everybody wishes they knew how everything would go down. Unfortunately, they don’t.”

GotAction Inc. | Latest NCAA news. Kevin Ware breaks bone in leg

With 6:33 left in the first half, Ware tried to contest a 3-pointer by Duke's Tyler Thornton. Ware's leg buckled when he landed, bending almost at a right angle.

School officials said Ware was taken to Methodist Hospital with a broken lower right leg. Louisville sports information director Kenny Klein said hospital officials told the school that Ware was "resting comfortably" and that the pain was "under control."

Klein said a team of doctors was being assembled. Ware underwent surgery Sunday night, during which he had the bone reset and a rod placed in his right tibia. Pitino said that he and his son, Richard, who recruited Ware, along with the team's equipment manager would stay in Indianapolis overnight so they could see Ware, who will remain in the city until at least Tuesday.

Louisville athletic trainer Fred Hina called the injury an "open fracture of the lower leg."

"Obviously at the time it happened, the most important thing was to stabliize it and then to transfer him to an advanced care center as soon as possible," Hina said.

One of Ware's teammates and closest friends, Chane Behanan, Ware's closest friend, couldn't believe what was happening.

"The bone was literally out. I saw white, it was literally out," said Behanan, who collapsed to his hands and feet at the sight.

The two spoke at halftime.

"He said 'Don't worry about me, I'm good, I'll have my surgery tonight,' " Behanan said. " 'Go win it for me.' "

Pitino said Ware's leg broke in two spots and that he will need a year to recover from the injury.

Pitino said the injury is similar to the broken leg suffered in 2006 by Louisville star football player Michael Bush, who made his NFL debut in 2008 and has had a productive career with the Oakland Raiders and Chicago Bears.

It turned out Bush was watching the game on TV.

"I just cried," he wrote on Twitter. "I feel so bad. Flashback of myself. Anyone if he needs anything please let me know."

Ware was taken off the court on a stretcher.

The injury happened right in front of Pitino and the Louisville bench, and several Cardinals were overcome with emotion.

Louisville forward Wayne Blackshear fell to the floor, crying, and Behanan looked as if he was going to be sick on the court, kneeling on his hands and feet. Peyton Siva sat a few feet away, a hand covering his mouth.

"I dropped to go the ground. I've never seen anything like that," Behanan said. "I don't remember the last time I cried."

Luke Hancock patted Ware's chest as doctors worked on the sophomore and Russ Smith -- who is from New York City, like Ware -- walked away, pulling his jersey over his eyes. Even Pitino wiped tears from his eyes during the nine-minute delay.

Someone finally pulled Behanan to his feet, but he doubled over and needed a few seconds to gather himself. As Ware was being loaded onto the stretcher, the Cardinals gathered at mid-court until Pitino called them over, saying that Ware wanted to talk to them before he left.

Ohio State vs. Wichita State: Game time, TV schedule for 2013 NCAA Tournament

The West Region has been the wildest region of the 2013 NCAA Tournament thus far. The opening weekend saw plenty of upsets, including top-seeded Gonzaga fall in the third round. Now, just Wichita State and Ohio State remain in the hunt for a bid to the Final Four.

On Saturday night, the No. 2 seed Buckeyes and No. 9 seed Shockers will square off in a matchup very few could've seen coming.

Wichita State was not favored to defeat Pittsburgh in the second round, and they went on to dominate them. After pulling off the upset over Gonzaga, WSU made quick work of La Salle on Thursday, as Mid-Major Madness detailed.

The path hasn't been quite as easy for Ohio State. They blew out Iona in their first game, but they've needed late three-pointers from Aaron Craft and LaQuinton Ross to escape upset bids from Iowa State and Arizona. Here is video of Ross' game-winning shot from SB Nation's Buckeyes blog, Land-Grant Holy Land.

The key matchup to watch for is Carl Hall against Deshaun Thomas. Both players have played very well this March, and their efforts are a big reason why their teams are one of eight remaining in the field.

Why Traffic is so Important to Advertisers!

Many people do not realize it a web site can make or break it depending on the amount of people they have coming into their website.  Many of Internet businesses depend on how many people do their web site each day otherwise they might not be able to stay in business for a long.  This is scary thing to think about especially when you are a business owner just trying to make it on the Internet.  There are several things and you need to think about when you are just starting out so that you do not end up spending more money than you need to and you still get the amount of people coming to a web site that you need in order to survive.  Here are some tips that you need to know about in order to make sure that you get more people into your web sites so that you do 
not end up closing down you’re in a business for good.

NFL fantasy football: 2013 contract-year players

The movie "Jerry Maguire," which follows the trials and tribulations of life as a sports agent, will forever be remembered for the memorable quote, "Show me the money!" That line also has quite a bit of relevance in the world of fantasy football. While a Super Bowl championship is the ultimate motivation for most players, professional sports is now a business that's based on contracts loaded with dead presidents. So when a player is in a contract year, he has extra incentive to find statistical success. As a result, that player could also have added draft value.


Josh Freeman, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Freeman is entering a very important season, as he needs to prove that he can win games on a consistent basis ahead of free agency. If not, the Buccaneers could decide to go in a different direction. While he showed flashes of statistical brilliance in 2012, he was anything but consistent. Over his final six starts, Freeman failed to score even 13 fantasy points on four different occassions. Clearly the potential to become a more reliable fantasy option is present, but fantasy owners can't consider Freeman more than a No. 2 quarterback and matchup-based starter in 2013 drafts.

 Tony Romo, QB, Dallas Cowboys: I would be absolutely shocked if the Cowboys didn't extend Romo at some point in the offseason, but as it stands the veteran is set to become a free agent in 2014. He's already coming off a successful season in the stat sheets, as Romo threw for a career-best 4,903 yards and found the end zone a total of 29 times. He's also thrown for 4,000-plus yards in each of his last three full seasons. Romo will be a popular target for fantasy leaguers who decide to wait on a quarterback in 2013 drafts, as the depth at the position could keep Romo on the board until the fifth round or beyond. Matt Ryan, QB, Atlanta Falcons: Ryan is coming off the best statistical season of his entire career, throwing for 4,719 yards with 33 total touchdowns while also finishing among the top eight overall players based on fantasy points. The Falcons are certain to keep their offensive leader around for a long time, but he could still have some extra motivation if he weren't extended and remains slated to become a free agent after the 2013 season. Much like Romo, Ryan could slide a round or two in countless drafts based on the immense depth at the top of the quarterback position (from a fantasy perspective).

 With that in mind, here's a look at the most notable players who are slated to become free agents in 2014. 

Michael Vick, QB, Philadelphia Eagles: Vick, the top fantasy quarterback in 2010, has seen his production and value both slide over the last two seasons. And while he's no longer an elite option from a fantasy perspective, Vick has seen a slight increase in appeal as the projected No. 1 quarterback in the offense of new coach Chip Kelly. Now playing on a one-year deal for all intents and purposes, Vick will have a lot of incentive to put up solid totals next season. His proneness to injuries is a major cause for concern and will keep him from being drafted as a fantasy starter, but Vick is intruiging nonetheless. Steven Jackson, RB, St. Louis Rams: Jackson is in a different scenario than most players on this list, as the final year of his current contract is voidable. That means he could end up being a free agent this offseason. Until that happens, the veteran out of Oregon State is slated to hit the market in 2014 - assuming he continues as an NFL player. During an interview earlier this year, Jackson admitted that "retirement is an option." If he does return to the gridiron, whether it's with the Rams or otherwise (the Green Bay Packers have been mentioned), Jackson will remain a legitimate No. 2 fantasy running back. 

Maurice Jones-Drew, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars: Jones-Drew is coming off an injury-plagued season that saw him hold out of training camp before missing 10 games with an injured foot that required a surgical procedure. Barring any setbacks in his return, "Pocket Hercules" will be singing for his supper out there on the gridiron. There's also been talk that new offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch plans to install a zone-blocking scheme this season, so there will be some new schemes for Jones-Drew to learn. A risk-reward selection, the U.C.L.A. product will be well worth a look as a No. 2 fantasy back in 2013 drafts. Darren McFadden, RB, Oakland Raiders: It's tough to promote McFadden these days, as he's become a virtual lock to miss at least a few games every year due to injuries. In fact, he's never played in even 14 games in a single season during his pro career and has missed a combined 13 contest since 2011. So despite being motivated in a contract year and coordinator Greg Olsen's assertion that he will be highlighted in the offense, it's tough to trust McFadden as more than a No. 2 fantasy running back in 2013. Unlike last season, when he had first-round value, the veteran is likely to fall to the third or fourth round.

 Eric Decker, WR, Denver Broncos: Decker posted a career year in 2012 with Peyton Manning running the offense in Denver. After putting up just 50 catches in his first two seasons at the NFL level, the Minnesota product recorded 85 catches, 1,064 yards, scored 13 touchdowns and finished seventh in fantasy points among wide receivers. As long as Manning is calling the shots, Decker is going to be a legitimate starting option in fantasy land. So while it will be tough to duplicate the same number of end-zone visits again, the veteran will be tough to pass on in the third or fourth round as a high-end No. 2 wideout. James Jones, WR, Green Bay Packers: Jones might have had his best statistical season one year too early, as he's now heading into a contract year. Regardless, the fact that he scored 14 touchdowns and finished among the top 20 players at his position in 2012 does have his value on the rise. Jones is also expected to be in a position to see even more opportunities moving forward, as the Packers are not expected to retain the services of veteran Greg Jennings. I'm not sure that makes Jones more than a No. 3 or 4 fantasy wideout, but there is a lot to like about Jones and his chances to find continued success.

 Percy Harvin, WR, Minnesota Vikings: There has already been a lot of offseason talk surrounding Harvin, who is reportedly looking to be one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. Will the Vikings meet his demands or trade him instead? Could Harvin hold out if he remains stuck on his current deal? Those are all questions that still need to be answered. If the Florida product does go out there in the final year of his contract, it will do nothing but make him more attractive from a fantasy perspective. After all, he's a former top-10 fantasy wideout with major statistical upside at the age of just 24.

 Hakeem Nicks, WR, New York Giants: Nicks has the talent to be a No. 1 fantasy wideout, but his proneness to injuries has put a dent into his draft value. After all, he missed several games in 2012 and finished out of the top 50 wideouts based on fantasy points. He should be motivated to stay on the field and produce this season, though, as Nicks is entering a contract year and will need to prove that he can be leaned on as Eli Manning's top option in the Giants' pass attack.

Also keep in mind that Victor Cruz is a restricted free agent in 2013, so the G-Men will need to make a decision on both of their top receivers. Jimmy Graham, TE, New Orleans Saints: One of the unquestioned top tight ends in fantasy football, Graham led the position in points last season and is set to be an early-round selection in 2013 drafts. Of course, that assumes he has no setbacks in his return from an offseason wrist operation. Once he's back at 100 percent and out there on the gridiron, Graham will be motivated to continue his success in the stat sheets as he'll set to become a free agent in 2014. It's hard to envision a scenario where the Saints would let such a talented member of their offense hit free agency, so keep tabs on his contract situation.


Other notables Jay Cutler, QB, Chicago Bears Donald Brown, RB, Indianapolis Colts Dexter McCluster, RB, Kansas City Chiefs Marcel Reece, RB, Oakland Raiders Ben Tate, RB, Houston Texans Michael Turner, RB, Atlanta Falcons Beanie Wells, RB, Arizona Cardinals Anquan Boldin, WR, Baltimore Ravens Kenny Britt, WR, Tenenssee Titans Darrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Oakland Raiders Brandon LaFell, WR, Carolina Panthers Jeremy Maclin, WR, Philadelphia Eagles Mario Manningham, WR, San Francisco 49ers Santana Moss, WR, Washington Redskins Golden Tate, WR, Seattle Seahawks Mike Williams, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jermichael Finley, TE, Green Bay Packers Tony Moeaki, TE, Kansas City Chiefs Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Detroit Lions Sebastian Janikowski, K, Oakland Raiders Michael Fabiano is an award-winning fantasy football analyst on NFL.com and NFL Network and a member of the Fantasy

Darrelle Revis trade could mean two high picks for Jets

Whether coach Rex Ryan cops to it or not, the New York Jets are looking to trade Darrelle Revis.

The real question is whether the Jets can find a team willing to pay the price for the star cornerback.

Offseason Forecast: Jets

With the offseason under way, Around The League examines what's next for all 32 teams. Dan Hanzus breaks down the Jets. More ...

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport spoke with two general managers in an effort to get a ballpark price on what the Jets might be able to get for Revis on the trade market. Both GMs believed New York could fetch a 2013 first-round pick and a 2014 conditional pick that would be a second-rounder or better.

Rapoport said Wednesday on "NFL Total Access" that the San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta Falcons are not interested in Revis, despite reports connecting Revis to the teams.

The Falcons are focusing on their own free agents, while a Niners source gave a succinct summation of the reports: "Don't believe any of that crap."

Given Revis' trade price, contract wishes and uncertain health status, don't be surprised if the Jets struggle to find a
dancing partner. At least right now.- Nfl.com -By Dan Hanzus

IT was the night before Christmas, when all through the town,

It was silent and empty, no action was found.

The railbirds were nestled, all snug in their beds,

While visions of jump shots danced in their heads.

The tables were quiet, the cues put away,

I went to shoot drills, though I wanted to play.

The parking lot glistened with new-fallen snow,

And the lights from the pool room gave off a faint glow.

I stopped for a minute, ’cause I’d gotten out of line.

I bore down real hard and made a bank on the nine.

When outside the door there arose such a clatter!

I ran to the window to see what was the matter.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a jolly fat man and eight strange-looking deer.

He was dressed all in red from his head to his toe,

And he grabbed a case from his sleigh with a “Ho ho ho!”

He walked through the door and checked out the hall:

“I’m looking for action. Who plays nine ball?”

I made a small sound and he looked o’er my way.

He whipped out his cellphone and called his backers,

by name: “Hey Comet, Hey Blitzen, Hey Leroy and Scott!

I got some action, and this kid looks hot!”

He looked me up and down, in his obnoxious attire.

“Race to eleven? I’ll give you two on the wire.”

I finished the match, and beat the fat man in red,

When he smiled at his stakehorse, then turned and said:

“Do it again, kid? But I want first break….

Oh, one more thing…Double the stakes?”

I should’ve known better, but agreed just the same.

And I was amazed when I saw St. Nick’s game!

There were caroms and kick-safes before he was done,

And when he comboed the nine, I knew he had won.

So if you meet a man in red, take a moment to pause,

Or you too might get hustled by Ol’ Santa Claus. -The Hustle Before Christmas, by Kyle Odell

Just in Case you plan on betting the coin toss, you should Know the History!

     The Super Bowl coin toss is supposed to the fairest and least predictable way to start the NFL title game, but reality shows that this random event never seems very random.


In the 14 games between Super Bowl 32 and Super Bowl 45, the NFC never lost a coin toss. That's 14-0 on a supposedly 50-50 proposition.

Small wonder some of the best online sportsbooks even offered the AFC as a slight underdog to win on the Super Bowl coin toss betting menus. Then the Patriots won the
toss (but lost the game) in Super Bowl 46 to break the streak.

As of Super Bowl 47 between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, 'heads' was on a four-game win streak. But Super Bowl history tells us that it's almost a
guarantee that this toss will be tails. Why?

Three other times, there have been four-game streaks, but never five. So if that holds true, tails is due in 2013.
