This Week's TUBSTER TIPS

 
The Line
   

I lost a whole bag of potato chips on Annika Sorenstam. My Swedish sources said she'd finish top ten... ah well, a good gambler picks himself up, dusts off all the porno handouts sticking to his clothes, and heads back into the casino...

Larry Brown steps down as head coach in Philadelphia. Hey, hey, hey, let's make up some of that Sorenstam hit! There's several names at the top of the 76ers list, but the odds on each of those guys is a lousy 3-1 at best. You wanna make some REAL potato chips? Take a chance on this short list of longshot head coaching candidates from my source inside the Sixers' ball maintenance department:

1 - Brian Dunkelman, 100-to-1. The former "American Idol' co-host is at liberty and rumor has it he played some juco ball at Cactus Community College in Mojave, CA. With the right assistants, could pull it off. Young energy, good in press conferences....

2 - Larry Eustachy, 15-1. The former Iowa State coach has all the tools and hey, "lay low" time is a thing of the past. Besides, in the pros, if you kiss 19-year-old coeds, your players will think of you as a "playah"... Iverson likes him...

3 - Joe Torre, 75-1. Don't laugh, the Yankees' bad streak is worse than it looks, and Steinbrenner has an itchy trigger finger. The difference in fundamentals between the two sports are miniscule. Philly ownership has already leaked that they'd let Torre coach in his Yankee pinstripes...

4 - Al Sharpton, 50-1. Don't look now, but Sharpton's been losing weight and secretly reading all of Pete Carrill's books, and he's privately expressed a yen to get out of the lucrative unemployment business and into something "closer to the people..." Iverson likes him too...

5 - I cannot BELIEVE Sorenstam went 4-over her last round! What was all the lesbian weight training for?! I plopped 23 potato chips on her, and she tanked it -- Okay. Sorry, folks. It's just... ...hey, it's part of my biz! That's life. I don't need more than basic cable anyway. Life is a movie, who needs to pay for HBO?

I'll bet Dunkleman hard and cover my ass with a "Larry Brown Changes His Mind" side bet, which should get me back to even comfortably, or I'm not...

We all know unsanctioned gambling is illegal, and Sportalicious! would never condone it. But if you're playing at the kitchen table, an innocent game with your kids using potato chips…knowledge is power, that's all we're saying.
