What will Andrea Kremer’s first sideline report be?

• A very interesting history lesson of Ben Roethlisberger’s big games where she tells us if Big Ben did or did not wear gloves:  3-1
• She interviews Jerome Bettis on the sideline and the viewer gets nothing out of it, except the chance to run to the fridge to get another beer:  5-1
• I have no clue what it will be about because I always put my TV on mute when she speaks, but I will see the camera pan to Matt Leinart with his headset on:  7-2
• Edgerrin James’ end-of-the-season emergance; followed by Tim Hightower’s favorite player growing up:  10-1
• Something completely stupid and irrelevant:  1-1

Which quarterback’s name will John Madden say the most, not on either teams’ roster?

• Tom Brady:  3-1
• Brett Favre:  2-1
• Donovan McNabb:  4-1
• Peyton Manning:  4-1
• Ryan Leaf:  100-1

Who will flip the coin?

• John Elway: 3-1
• Lynn Swan: 4-1
• Roger Craig: 5-1
• Ted Kennedy: 100-1

Who will win the SuperBowl MVP?

• Kurt Warner:  3-1
• Willie Parker:  4-1
• Larry Fitzgerald:  5-2
• Troy Polamalu:  6-1
• Kordell Stewart:  100-1

Who will win the game?

• Pittsburgh Steelers -250
• Arizona Cardinals +210
• After a scoreless overtime Donovan McNabb declares a tie +1,110

What will Alex Flanagan’s first sideline report be?

• Anquan Fitzgerald’s contract, Larry Boldin’s contract, and an interesting idea of how the two wide receivers should combine forces and form the most devastating football player ever, Larquan Fitzboldin:  15-1
• She’ll interview halftime performer Bruce Springsteen and ask him if he is rooting for Notre Dame or the Fighting Irish:  16-1
• I really have no clue what she is saying.  I’m staring at her hot face, blonde hair, and kick-ass MILF body, but is that a drunk Joe Namath next to her?:  3-1
• Something completely stupid and irrelevant:  1-1

Who will score the first touchdown of the game?

• Hines Ward:  4-1
• Larquan Fitzboldin:  6-1 (3-1 if either half scores)
• Willie Parker:  3-1
• Edgerrin James:  10-1
• Santonio Holmes:  7-2
• Todd Pinkston:  100-1

***Feel free to place the $200 on one bet or spread it out on many***

We’d rather just shut it down than to run a boring, poorly updated blog, which is what OTR is starting to become.

We can’t thank all of our readers enough. You guys have all been great and we had a ton of fun playing with everyone. Maybe we’ll do it again some day. We could have just let the blog die slowly and not update it, but that’s not fair to anyone. We thought we would give OTR a proper burial by at least letting everyone know that we are calling it quits.

Memorial services will be held Sunday, December 21st at 2 PM at the Lodi, NJ YMCA.

You can send thoughts and regards to MPerry_77@hotmail.com and MicahW@feverpitchmedia.com.

Happy Holidays to all of those in OTR land!!

In other news, Allen Iverson continues to be an immature punk by skipping practice earlier today. Looks like we’ll be talk’n bout practice again.

In more news, what the hell is up with today’s halftime shows? Did Lance Bass coordinate everything? If they attempt anything like that in Philly tonight, I guarantee a shower of boo’s. Or maybe a shower of booze?

The odds are out for which team Donovan McNabb will be on next year (put your $100 Perry Dollars to work):

• Philadelphia Eagles 7/4
• Minnesota Vikings 5/2
• Detroit Lions 3/1
• Chicago Bears 5/1
• Tampa Bay Buccaneers 5/1
• Field (any other team) 5/2

Have a happy Thanksgiving!!!

Check the odds out right here.

To list a few notables:

• Boston Red Sox are the favorite at 3/1
• The World Champion Philadelphia Phillies are at 6/1
• The New York Yankees for some reason are also at 6/1
• Pat Burrell to take it down himself is at 7/1
• The New York Mets are at 12/1
• The Montreal Expos are at 1,000,000/1
• And cleaning up the rear like a hot little nurse fresh out of college are the Washington Nationals at 300/1

**The actual worth of a Perry Dollar is 1/1,000 of a cent.  2,000 Perry Dollars can be used to purchase the Florida Marlins**

Apparently, he had a lot to do with it. In 2006 alone, he put 32 families that averaged $21,400 in annual income, into houses averaging $1.2 million in value.

“It broke my heart to see these people not living in their dream homes, so I made it happen,” Perry said in a written statement to OTR. “I make things happen, it’s what I do. If making things happen is a crime, then slap the handcuffs on me because I’m going to jail. I mean really…don’t we all just want a piece of the American dream? I think we do. I think we do.”

Not long after this statement, the handcuffs were slapped on.

Photo Caption: “When I’m done getting my picture taken, it’s going to be time to make things happen.”

Treasury secretary Hank Paulsen said that he lauded Perry’s effort to make good on his mistakes, but hinted that his cleanup methods were a bit misguided.

“Obviously these mortgages that Mr. Perry authorized are terrible,” Paulsen said. “And while we appreciate Perry’s efforts to make good on his mistakes, throwing Perry Dollars into the market was just not an effective solution. The fact that Lehman Brothers, Wachovia, AIG and others accepted these Perry Dollars is a big reason why we are where we are now.”

Perry will be attempting to correct his mistakes for much of the week. The good news is, you still have me and when Perry’s done, we’ll all have jobs again.

“Casino Drive is the early second choice behind Triple Crown favorite Big Brown. Big Brown is trying to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed swept the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont in 1978.”

Japanese horse? How great is that? I’ve never seen a Japanese horse before. Anyway, if Casino Drive is scratched from the race and you have Perry Dollars on him, remember to switch your bet. I’ll allow you to.

PHOTO CAPTION: Japanese horses are usually jockeyed by Samurai. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Casino Drive has been pulled from the Belmont Stakes.
