Here’s a chance to make money from someone else’s winnings, and support cancer research at the same time. You have the opportunity to stake this individual at the 2008 W.S.O.P., which could mean some huge winnings, and you get to share a percentage of it. As with any poker game, there’s no guarantee of a win, but the auctioneer does provide his winnings history, so you can bid with some added confidence.
Even if he doesn’t bring home any dough, you’ll at least know that some of your money went to an extremely good cause.
This March Madness marks the first time that all number one seeds have made it to the final four. This most surely also marked the year that the amateur bracketologists came out sparkling by picking purely based on seed, or the often-accurate foreteller, favorite color of jersey.
So then, what does this do for our final four predictions? Do we continue to favor the favorite among favorites? Yesterday’s games showed us that betting the spreads will be ridiculously hard for the final four. Separated by only one seed, Memphis mopped the floor with Texas, while Kansas (1) barely came away with the “W” from Davidson (10). Is anyone brave enough to leave a comment with your predictions?
So how does it feel to be on the NBA team with the second longest winning streak? Probably pretty damn amazing. How does it feel to have been on the injured list for more than half of it? Let’s ask Yao Ming.
Titan Sports:
“I felt bitterly sour deep down inside. I saw the team kept winning and everybody celebrating on the court, and I thought, I should be one of them there. This is such a great and rare feat for winning that many games consecutively…Now finally when it comes the harvest time, I was the one down with injury.”
Well, Yao, just be thankful you weren’t on the injured list while playing for the Heat, who’s been working on record-breaking losing streaks.
This year’s NCAA March Madness is surely turning into March Mayhem. This season marks the first time that four NCAA tournament first-round games at the same site on the same day were all deemed upsets. This must have sent bracketologists stumbling, groping for some shred of reasoning to justify their ill-fortuned picks.
With this auction, you have the chance to win tickets for two floor seats, 18th row, for both days of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Midwest Regionals. Apparently, the only true floor seats go to the media, so these seats sound like they’re as sweet as it gets.
With divorce rates rivaling marriage rates, marriage counseling needs a refreshing kick in the arse. Instead of draining your 401K on exuberant counseling sessions, you could relieve all your marital frustrations by simply throwing a dart at your spouse. This dartboard features a special photo insert, so you can put your favorite, or least favorite, picture on the board for the ultimate target.
By the way, darts originated in the medieval times: As part of friendly competition, soldiers threw arrows at the cork bung of barrels (the modern-day bulls eye).
Even if you don’t quite have the cash flow to handle purchasing an amazing billiards table like this, then just cash out part of your 401K. Then, all you need to do is play hard every day and then become the world’s best pool shark, repay your 401K before your penalized and earn a starting spot on ESPN’s tour. Simple, right?
It’s at least worth the try — this table features hand-carved legs, rich oak, scalloped edges and completely stylish looks.
The closest I’ve come to any sky-related sports would be parasailing; the most tame in its realm. But with so many awesome sky sports evolving, my adventure bug is going nuts. This auction provides the chance to win an Airwave Sport paraglider. This wing looks like it combines the comfort of your couch with the adrenaline of being hundreds of feet up in the air.
I would definitely get some training on this puppy before you go leaping off any nearby cliffs though. Other than that, this looks like an amazing rush that may rival heroin.
Baseball season is just around the corner, but you wouldn’t even know it because of all the steroid hype overshadowing it. I don’t know how these guys think they can get away with substance abuse — they have the eyes of an entire nation on them. Major league ball players go under an extreme amount of scrutiny, and rightfully so, people of all ages look to these players as heroes and role models.
Check out this auction for a sweet package of six tickets for three different games, including opening day at Fenway Park.
Wetsuits aren’t just for divers. I’ve been wanting to try some snorkeling lately, but the water is still pretty chilly. And I’ve also had the urge to try surfing too, so I figure it’d be worth it to buy a wetsuit since I can use it for multiple activities. So I recently went to the local surf shop and found out just how expensive wetsuits are. For those prices I’d at least expect a dry suit…how bad was that?
So my wetsuit search took me online next, where I was able to find virtually any suit under the sun for much friendlier prices.
Bid hard or go home for these Jerry Rice authenticated game-worn and autographed cleats. This item comes with an engraved description plaque and a protective display holder. And get this, they still have some of the original turf on the bottom of the cleats.
And remember, Rice is not yet in the NFL Hall of Fame. So when he’s surely inducted, the value of these cleats is sure to get a hefty boost. This item already has amazing inherent value – but bid on what they’ll be worth in the future!
This is an actual game-worn jersey of Steve Young; circa early 90’s. From the man who had to fill Joe Montana’s shoes (how the hell do you do that?), this jersey is said to show some light signs of being worn on the field. I know that if I was going to purchase a jersey, I would definitely make it one that was worn in battle by a gridiron great!
You can bid with confidence as this jersey has received a rating of A5, the highest rating possible from authenticator Dave Bushing.

Where the hell did the Giants come from? And don’t say New York. These guys were up and down almost all season and got waxed by a few teams that simply shouldn’t have been able to pull one off on them. And now, just a few weeks ago, they managed to crank up the score against the Pats and finish just a field goal behind them!
When Eli Manning managed to put the classic Favre down to sleep, the Patriots should have shuddered a little, remembering that anything can happen on any given Sunday.
Click through and bid on a New York Giants Eli Manning jersey.
