Kevin Durant runs wild and is protected by a referee generated force field capable of inflicting fouls on any player that dares to approach The Great Orange One.

Texas -1.5 (vs. Texas A&M)

Book it. (and yes, this is most definitely emotional sandbagging.)

Record on CFF posted picks to date:

The Cotton Bowl Board has voted to move its annual New Year’s Day bowl game to Jerryworld beginning in 2010.

It appears that Dallas has decided to further cement its status as a suburb of Arlington. What a complete failure of a city.

Update:

One Dallas City Councilman is blaming Jerry Jones:

Bill Blaydes, chairman of Dallas City Council’s economic development and housing committee, blamed the venue shift on Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, who decided in 2004 not to build a new stadium in Fair Park – his stated first choice.

“One individual had the ability to destroy 70 years of history,” Mr. Blaydes said. “He knew what he was doing when he did it.”

Dallas, you had your chance. Jerry wanted to build in Dallas, and you refused to help. I’m not one to support public finance of stadiums. I’m also not one to blame the owner of the team for leaving if someone else offers to subsidize your endeavor.

If you want the the Dallas Cowboys, the Cotton Bowl, and Texas/OU in your city that bad, you should chip in.

Ok, I said a while back that I wanted to start posting sports picks here at FLD, and there’s no time like the present to get started. It’s only 15 minutes or so until tipoff of this Big XII Big Monday showdown, so without further ado:

Kansas -6.5 (at OU)

Record on CFF posted picks to date:

0-0

First, the NFL tries to ban a church from having a Super Bowl Big Game watching party.

Now, they want to prevent the use of the term ‘Big Game’ altogether.

So what will we call our “Big Game” parties now?  I guess I’ll have folks over to watch the “Really important sporting event that the NFL would prefer I didn’t mention”.

We all remember the Jordan rules. Now it appears to be the Dwyane Wade Rules. Last night, Dwyane took a swipe at the ball as Shane Battier was holding it, except he hit Battier’s arm and hand with such force that he separated his own shoulder. According to Sports Illustrated:

Wade, who scored 27 points, was playing defense when his left arm collided with Houston’s Shane Battier and awkwardly stretched back.

I would think in normal circumstances that if a player were to hit another player with enough force to injure themselves, that a foul would be called. Was it called in this case? Of course not.

Click on the picture to see a close-up. Notice Wade’s fingers. That had to hurt.

Youtube goodness after the jump.
