When you think of Vegas you think of Casino's, Elvis and Wayne Newton. Well this weekend NASCAR invades the city in the desert. Las Vegas Motor Speedway dubbed the Diamond in the Desert, will hold the Shelby 427 on Sunday. This is considered the home track of the Busch brother, they have been pretty successful there. Matt Kenseth goes for his 3rd straight win. Matt Kenseth not really known for winning races in the past, he has always been a consistent driver but wouldn't really win a lot of races.

In 2003 he won the then Nextel Cup Championship despite only winning one race that season. He did win 5 races in his rookie season of 2002, but wasn't too consistent that year. Now they look to finish races in the top 10 and accumulate points. We'll see how this season goes, will he stay consistently in the top ten or be erratic and go for wins. We'll just have to wait and see. For this race I would look for someone with the last name Busch to win, until next time, I'm Rubba Shoes Corey, keeping it real.

Well back in the late 1990's we had UFC fighter Ken Shamrock go from MMA to the WWE, now we have people going from the WWE to the MMA. First we had Brock Lennar, who was an elite college wrestler who lost to the Patriots Stephen Neal in the 1999 NCAA Heavyweight Wrestling Championship, who beat Randy Couture for the UFC Heavyweight Championship, and is the reigning champion. Now we have former WWE United States Championship, Bobby Ashley, who was a three time NCAA Champion at Missouri Valley College and was also an Armed Forces champion. He spent 3 years in the WWE and has now joined American Top Team to start training for MMA. He is going to start fighting in some of the lesser leagues and wait for the call from Dana White the President of the UFC. There is a potential clash of former WWE Champions for the UFC Heavyweight title.

I don't know how die hard UFC fans feel about the WWE Pro Wrestlers coming into the MMA, but I love it. When you watch the WWE and they have little guys beating big guys, you always say in real life he would kick his butt. Now we can see it for real. I am pulling for Ashley to make his way to the UFC and square off against Lennar. I know that the die hards didn't want Lennar to beat Couture, but Lennar is an animal, and he is just going to get better. He is supposed to have a rematch with Frank Mir, who has gave Lennar his first and only defeat in the UFC. In the first fight Lennar was dominating Mir and made one mistake and got caught in an ankle lock that had Lennar tap out. I don't think it will happen in the rematch. From the octagon this is Rubber Shoes Corey keeping it real.

Tommy got another ring on Thursday. That's right, this time for scoring with Gisele. He and his girlfriend of three years, married Thursday in Los Angeles, according to an US Weekly report.

The ceremony was "very small and intimate," Us Weekly reported, with the guest list mostly consisting of immediate family. Brady's son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan was also in attendance, according to the report. More on this as it develops.

Our very own Gabe Pruitt was arrested this morning for suspicion of DUI. Gabe was pulled over around 3:15 AM in the Hollywood area. Pruitt failed a field sobriety test and had a blood alcohol level well over the legal limit. He was taken to a local jail and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence. His bail was $5,000. Pruitt played his college ball at USC in Los Angeles, so maybe he had a "come home later" pass from Doc. Gabe scored three points last night in the Celtics' 93-91 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Starbury is already getting more playing time, thanks Gabe.

Should I be a homer like Timmy and be proud of Marcus Camby for knocking off my beloved C's last night? HELL NO!! Marcus, you ruined UMass and you've now ruined the Celtics, well at least for one night.

In a game that the Celtics were never really "in" despite being up 78-73 midway through the fourth, the Clippers showed up to play and well, the Celtics, didn't. Plain and simple, they didn't want to win.

Just ask Doc Rivers, "We were awful," coach Doc Rivers said. "We absolutely did not deserve to win that game. I thought we played small all night. We pouted all night. We just thought we could just show up and win a game and we didn't. We didn't make the extra pass all night. We walked the ball up the floor all night. There were so many things we did poor. The fact that we actually had a chance was amazing." - Boston.com

The buyout of Stephon Marbury's Knickerbocker contract is complete. He will officially clear waivers on Friday and some NBA insiders feel he could be in Celtic green as early as Sunday. Fine. I just want my green and whites! If you are new to the show and or podcast then you might not know that I have an affinity for ghetto fabulous sneakers. The low cost Starbury line of athletic footwear scratches me right wear I itch. Available at Amazon now that Steve & Barry have celebrated their Grand Closing. Que lastima. None the less, bring 'em on. The shoes, the 20 points per game and the skull tattoo. Welcome Stephon.

Well, it is just a little over 2 months away before the first Saturday in May. For some it is just a day that hopefully they will catch a Sox game, Celt's in the playoffs or for the local hockey fans, the Bruins still in the chase for the cup.(I prefer the Habs.) For me, the first Saturday in May means the Kentucky Derby. The first jewel in the triple crown. For as long as I can remember I have been a fan of the triple crown. It was ingrained in me since birth. My parents are both fans of the big three events in horse racing. I'll put it this way, we ran a pool for the Preakness at my wedding reception. I am still waiting for a dominant horse to win all three. It has not happened since 1978, when Affirmed won all three races. I was still a little too young to remember the events of that year clearly. I want one I can remember.

There have been a bunch that have won the first two legs, but then something happens in New York to prevents the sweep. Last year I thought we had one for sure in Big Brown, but he ended up a Big Dud at the Belmont. I thought I would give a list of horse's that could be entering into the Derby this year, so you can keep an eye on them between now and the first Saturday in May.

I figure 20 is enough, If memory serves me the biggest the field can be is 20. Not all these horses will enter the race and it is likely there will probably be other horses that do. This will at least give you something to check out so you can pick your favorite. That's all for now, I'm Rubba Shoes Corey keeping it real.

Well, it seems to be a slow sports day for the big 4 sports, so let's take a look at the not so big 4. When I say big 4, I am talking Football, Baseball, Basketball and Hockey. Fringe sports would be the rest of them. Did you happen to catch any of the Rugby that was on the tube yesterday. I was sitting at a kid's birthday party and the Celtics game had just ended. That is when someone started flipping through the stations to find something to watch. It ended up on Rugby. We started watching and before you knew it, we were oooowing and ahhhhing at what we were watching. That got me thinking, that true sports fans will watch anything to fill a void. Especially when you have a room full of guys who just watched the C's take it to the Sun's.

Now I think that if people had enough time to devote to the "fringe" sports, they might actually enjoy them. Just stop and think, on that rainy day in June, when the Sox get rained out. You get bored and start flipping stations. You stop on the LPGA, because one it's a sport and two the girls don't look so bad, then the commercial comes and you start flipping again, and you land on Monster Trucks. You stop because you don't think anyone can see you, and then you catch yourself kind of amazed at what they can do with a big pick-up truck. Start flipping again and there is a re-run of Monday Night Raw. You stop because the LPGA is still in commercial, and you reminisce about your youth when you once watched Hulk Hogan take on Andre the Giant, or you would see Jimmy Superfly Snuka go airborne off the top rope. We have all been there.

If you liked it as a kid, you probably could still like it as an adult. All you need is a little extra time to give it a try. Don't laugh at people who watch this stuff, because if you weren't so busy running around and could actually relax on a Monday night when Monday Night Football is all done, and the new season of 24 is all over, give the WWE a try, watch out you just might like it. Just remember when you try watching these other sports, you have to go into them with an open mind. If you go in thinking they are going to suck, then you wouldn't enjoy it if you could. If you happen to check out the WWE, remember, it isn't fake, it's scripted (to a point). When a person does a backwards flip of the top rope and land on someone on the concrete floor, they are really doing it. They do whatever they can to help each other not seriously hurt themselves, but it is still real. I've even caught myself watching Bass fishing on really slow sports days. If there is some type of competition going on I can get into it. For now, this is Rubba Shoes Corey, keeping it real.

**This just in, while I was producing the show and AFTER I uploaded it, resident NBA expert Scotty Dukes informed Timmy that "Mikki (Mickey) Moore's" name is pronounced MIKE "E"...we know we're D-bags, please save the e-mail for a later date**

As Adam turns 30, the boys are in search of their good pal, Bobby Duggan who made plans to be at the 30th bash and then randomly never showed up. Did he get fired? Did he get a date? What is the situation?

Oh and there are real happenings going on as well, as Adam's beloved Nascar team goes 2-0 for his first undefeated fantasy start ever...YA DUDE!!

The Celtics will announce tomorrow that they have inked a deal with F/C Mikki Moore (not to be confused with Mickey Rourke) who will play a Mark Blount type role for the C's going down the stretch. When will KG be back? It doesn't matter, because Phoenix you just got RONDO'D!!

Mazz thinks the Red Sox are boring...Timmy is just fine with that, but there are tickets still available for 9 home games in April and May, I feel a Wicked Pissa Dude Radio night at the ballpark coming on!!

Brad Penny cleared the first hurdle in his return to a Major League start. This comes after he threw to teammates for batting practice for the first time in spring training. Penny feels the light 30 pitch session on Monday helped him both mentally and physically.The 2008 season with the Los Angeles Dodgers was cut short by shoulder problems, will they return? Theo signed him as a free agent in order to work side by side with Smoltz to hopefully equal the efforts of what Burnett might have brought.

Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell said Penny would have two days off between batting practice sessions instead of the one day off for most pitchers. But he said that barring a setback, Penny will be ready for the start of the regular season. He’s scheduled for his first spring training start on March 5. Preseason ball starts in 2 days!

B.J.Raji in a Pats uniform. I can dream right? Scotty Dukes and I always attend the Patriots Drafy Party at Gillette Stadium. A great take by the way if you can make it. This year I will not be in attendance due to a family celebration. Although I will be hoping with my toes crossed that the Pats get a chance to flirt with the idea of bringing BJ aboard. As of late he is projected to go as early as pick #8 in the first round. Nice work if you can get it.

The Pats have the 23rd selection in the opening round. All hope is not lost though, after they deal off Cassel to Detroit or Kansas City it would be possible. Possible. Bill Belichick never does what I expect or want for that matter. So why start now? The Pats are never high on going top 5 anyway due to the signing bonuses. We'll get Darry Beckwith. Just a guess from Nostradumbass.

6'2'', 338 lbs, 5.1 40YD - I'll take it. Ron Brace is available too by the way. I know, I am a total homer. We'll see on April 25th, a lot could happen between now and then, Manny might even get a job.

OK. Week two into the NASCAR season. It is off to Fontana, California for the Auto Club 500. Matt Kenseth enters this week in first place after his rain shortened win of the Daytona 500. Controversy over what Dale did and we'll see how that all plays out with him and Brian Vickers. The California track is the sister track of Michigan Speedway, which because of restrictor plates at Talladega and Daytona is the fastest track on the circuit. California is pretty close. We should see some good three wide racing going on today.

It is a late start for us on the East Coast. I think they are saying 5 PM but after what happen last week at Daytona (said 2 and didn't start until 3:40) I expect a 6 PM or later start to the race. OH well, got to get used to it. Carl Edwards will try to defend his win from last years race. Jimmie Johnson won the race at this track last August. Good luck to all in the WPDR Fantasy Nascar this weekend. I am trying to get my first win this weekend against my Father-in-law. Until next time I am Rubba Shoes Corey, keepin' it real.

I am so excited for the WGC-Accenture Match Play tournament. Tiger is back. I'll be watching and for that matter, I'll be watching every tournament that he is in. I don't really get into the tournaments unless Tiger is involved. Before Tiger, I would watch the Masters, U.S. Open, British Open and the PGA Championship. Now with Tiger back, if he is in a tournament going into the weekend I'll be watching.

I didn't get to see Jack or Arnie in their prime, so it is unfair for me to compare him to them, but he is the best I've ever seen, and will probably ever see. I have gone to see him play in person once and came away a bigger fan, than I was before I went. The power that he hits the ball with is unbelievable. The only person I saw that came close was John Daly. Which is pretty funny. If he could actually get himself into shape and get off everything, he could be one of the best on the tour.

The good weather is coming, Tiger is back, the Sox are in Ft. Meyers. That means my TV will be full time sports. The Sox which play just about every day, golf and NASCAR. Throw in a little LPGA which I watch just for the scenery. Well that's all I have for now, I'm Rubba Shoes Corey, keepin' it real.

Billy Corey is back from the flu. Tully Banta-Cain is back from West Coast mediocrity. The Red Sox are back from the winter break and JD Drew, just has a bad back. Here they are back for another edition of the Boston Sports Podcast you know and love as Wicked Pissa Dude Radio. It's Timmy, Scotty and Billy with the Thursday Night Addition of WPDR. Thanks for listening and tell your friends to check us out too.

I'm all set. I don't need more snow. If you are reading this in Florida or Phoenix, my apologies, I don't wan't to bore you with the laborious details of life in New England in late winter. The networks inundate us with shots from Red Sox camp and we are here shoveling slush. F#cking all set. The question is, why am I having so much trouble dealing with the crappy weather this year? I can't pin point it for you but I know this, I am all set.

Just a week ago we had temperatures nearing FIFTY!?! Monday, April 6th can't come quickly enough. Baseball back in the Bean. The weather won't matter then, as the Spring will be forced upon us like a 2nd lap dance at the Foxy Lady. Bring it on! Warm weather, shorts and that first time of the season that you are standing in the sun and feel the warmth. That's what I want. You'll be driving home from work with the Sox on your radio and the windows down. It might still be a little chilly for the windows yet, but you don't care. Castiglione's voice meshed in with the sound of your tires rushing over sandy asphalt as you cruise home to see Fenway in all her glory.

The bright colors of Fenway, bunting and all. Beautiful. I will be lucky enough to not have to call in sick to catch opening day. My boys will give me time enough to watch the game in between naps and snacks. We'll have hot dogs (fat free of course) and smile at the fact that from opening day onward, we'll have a game to watch almost every day for six months. Red Sox Baseball. I love it. Until then, here I stand, hot dogs at the ready...shovel in hand. Go Sox!

Adam and Timmy discuss NASCAR, NBA All Stars and of course footwear (boots photo courtesy of Steven in Keene, NH). It's all here this week. BC beats Duke and Adam still manages to shoehorn in UMass Basketball. The boys bask in the glory of Spring training and shudder at the thought of a steroid storm cloud raining on the Sox parade. Thanks for checking out the show and tell a friend to subscribe as well. We are still looking for people to round out the WPDR fantasy baseball league, you got the balls? If so, email us at the address below. Have a great week.

Sit back, put your feet up, crack open your drivers favorite beverage and get ready for the Daytona 500. I know I said that it is not my favorite race, but it still kicks off the season. Jimmy Johnson tries to become the first driver to win four straight championships. Jeff Gordon tries to rebound and win a race this year. Carl Edwards is the favorite to win the crown in all the preseason rags I've read. For the casual fan, Daytona is probably the only race you know by name. Well even for the die hard fans, the sponsorships of races has made it difficult to remember which race is which anymore. Even though I don't have him on my fantasy team, I am rooting for Mark Martin in the #5 Kellogg's car. He has never won the big race. I am also pulling for him to win the championship. He is with Hendricks Motorsports, which is the team I root for, Gordon, Lil' E, Johnson and Martin.

As I let know in a previous blog, I am a Jeff Gordon fan, well I also root for everyone to take out Tony Stewart. Now that he has his own racing team, which I have found out he is getting his engines from Hendricks (very disappointing), He will not have the money to spend like he did, when he was with Joe Gibbs Racing. It will be interesting if Tony and his teammate Ryan Newman will be able to compete with the powerhouse teams, which took all the spots in the chase for the cup last year. It is tough for the little guys to compete, and now with the economy the way it is, sponsorship money is down, so it will even be tougher for the smaller teams to compete. There have been a lot of teams joining forces together.

Kind of a side note, there will not be a Petty in the Daytona 500 for the first time in over 40 years. Although you could say even though Kyle was in the race, he never had a chance to win. Well, get out your colorful shirts with all the sponsorship tags on them, and wait for the most famous words in racing,"Gentlemen Start Your Engines" good luck to all except for Tony Stewart Racing. Just one persons perspective, Rubba Shoes Corey keeping it real.

Can you feel it? Can you smell it? Yes, It's that time of year. Pitchers and catchers have reported to spring training. When you start to think about another championship run. But how many baseball fans across the country can feel the same way? I know I shouldn't complain because the Red Sox benefit from not having a cap, but I believe that there should be a salary cap in baseball. We in Red Sox nation are excited for a new season to begin. A chance for another championship run.

On this edition of TNA on Wicked Pissa Dude Radio, Timmy and Scotty Dukes discuss BC's crappy football schedule, Billy Corey's passion for fires and NASCAR! Yah Dude! Steroids might come up too as pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training. It's another action packed Thursday Night Addition of WPDR. Thanks for listening and tell your friends!

So reports out of Bristol, Conn. say that Brett Favre's agent has contacted the Jets to let them know that he is "planning" on retiring. Here we go again. Didn't we here this about a year ago, when he said the same thing to the Packers? Ok, I am putting my neck out there by saying this, because my wife is one of the biggest Favre fans around, but, he needs to go. Every year he says he is going to retire, then he doesn't, just tarnishes his legacy. I think most Favre fans would say the same thing.

The season he had 2 seasons ago was pretty good, one of his best, he should have retired after that one. He was probably thinking that he had one of his best seasons, so there is no reason for him to retire. Last season, seemed to be filled with bad decisions. I consider myself a Favre fan. I have enjoyed watching him over the years, except when he and the Packers beat the Patriots in the Superbowl. I am a big QB fan. It started back in the 80's with Dan Marino.

I have always enjoyed watching good quarterbacks. That is why, I would like Favre to finally retire. I remember the good times, especially the Monday Night Football game just after his father passed away, what a performance, but the longer he hangs on and has games with bad interceptions, we remember him more for the games he has blown, then the games he has won. Another reason he should have retired last year, is we wouldn't have has to see him in a Jet's uniform.

Just like Montana, Emmit Smith and Marcus Allen before him, we can't just remember them for the classic team they played for, but we see there names on other jersey's and just scratch our heads. Here is to hoping that he makes the right decision and retires once and for all. He can finally have his name put where it belongs, on the stadium at Lambeau field and his bust in Canton. Please Brett, go away quietly this time. Just one persons perspective.

When the whole thing broke a few years ago, when Canseco's first book came out, I thought he is full of it. There can't be that many players using. Over the past few years it looks like he was correct. Baseball seems to get the brunt of it, because of the BALCO scandal, Barry Bonds, Clemens, Caminiti, Giambi. McGwire, Sosa and now A-rod. All pretty big names in baseball. Football has had a few big names, but it almost seems that because it is a violent sport, people think that they have to do it, so we as a society seem to turn the other way.

As was said on WPDR last night, the drugs are ahead of the testing and it looks like we are just going to have to deal with the fact that the majority of the players are tainted. As long as they say that they are testing and players are caught here and there, people are going to believe that sports are clean. Myself, I believe most athletes are doing something and it is just part of the game now. What can we do. I myself don't want to see kids in high school or even younger using this stuff. We as parents have to do the best we can to educated our children and hope that when they get to an age that they are on there own they will know to make the correct choice. As far as the hall of fame goes. I believe that players that are using are facing other player that are using so, if they are putting up hall of fame numbers they should be elected to the hall of fame. All these people that say well so and so back in the 80's, 70's, 60's.......etc. didn't use them. I say, How do you know?

I ask you this, when where steroids invented? I have found that they where discovered in the early 60's. So, your telling me no athlete between then and the 90's was using them? Baseball didn't even start testing and disciplining until the 2000's. Your telling me that Ricky Henderson was free and clear of steroids his whole career. Maybe, maybe not. We don't know. That is why I say if they have hall of fame numbers then put them in the hall. It's amazing that someone that supposedly played the game the right way, never thought to have used steroids and holds the all time hits title, can't be in the hall because he has a little gambling problem, and was even banned from baseball. That is just one persons perspective.

Red Sox Nation is rejoicing today at the news that A-Roids has been caught and admitted to juicing in 2001-2003. According to an interview that he conducted with Peter Gammons on ESPN, Alex Rodriguez has admitted to doing steroids, but that's not all he's admitted to. Join Adam and Timmy for an exclusive interview with the New York Yankees slugger and find out what other revelations A-Roids had for the crew.

Oh right, while we're at it we gotta talk Boston Red Sox baseball and someone got a trip down to beautiful sunny Florida and it wasn't Billy Rubba Shoes Corey.

A couple other things; Did the Celtics lose again? The Bruins lost? Are Timmy's in-laws safe in beautiful downtown Sydney suburbs? All of these mysteries are solved on this episode of Wicked Pissa Dude Radio.

Well, This is my first blog so be easy on me. I am a NASCAR fan. I wouldn't say that I am the biggest, I don't watch every lap of every race, but I do my best to watch as many as I can. I am a #24 Jeff Gordon fan, been one since 1992. That is when I lived in Virginia, while I was in the Navy. The Daytona 500 may have been the sports biggest race, but ever since they put restrictor plates on the cars on the super speedways, Daytona and Talladega, in my opinion they have tarnished both tracks. How can you say that the biggest race in your sport is one that can have one crash take out half the field. Because of this there are two different theories on how to take on these tracks. One is to get in front and stay in front, which is very difficult, because if you get hung out, you can go from first to twenty first in 2 seconds. The other theory is to hang back until less than a hundred laps to go then make your move. Well, neither has proved to be the way to go. That one mistake by someone that doesn't have a chance to win, can take out all of the top competitors. Then you have a bunch of nobodies racing for the biggest prize in racing. How can this be the Superbowl of NASCAR. For me, I would take either race at the Bristol, Tenn. track. Those are my two favorite races of the year. Well, that's all I have for now. Don't even get me started on our local track, Louden may be the most boring track on the circuit. That's just one persons perspective. I'm Rubbershoes Corey keepin' it real.

We are all set with the Lakers. The Lama, Kobe and Sasha? Really? Another win streak snapped by the Lakers? Why Kobe and the Lakers? Timmy and Scotty Dukes will discuss the Green and why the make us blue sometimes. Also, Matty gets "The Tag" on day one of eligibility. Sweet, let's make a deal! Sox are headed south and the Bruins are on top as usual. They'll even discuss college football signing day. Thanks Jagz! Thanks for listening to WPDR. Tell your friends!

As if he didn't already get snubbed once by being left off the East All-Star roster, Ray Ray was snubbed again by not being included in the All-Star weekend three point shooting contest. That's not really what is a croq though because while we all know Ray Allen is lights out from behind the arc, nobody has been hotter than Eddie House this season and I mean nobody.

Sure he started out the season a little shakey but since then he hasn't met a three pointer he didn't love, including his 8-9 performance from behind the arc last week. Not to mention, Eddie House is from the Arizona area where All-star weekend is being held.
