(CBS/KLAS) Las Vegas - An armed man reportedly wearing a disguise robbed the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, making off with $35,000 in chips at about 4:30 a.m. Thursday. 

The suspect ran from the casino and got away in a cab. He is still at large.

This is the second time in recent months that a man has held up a casino at gunpoint and got away with highly-valued gaming chips, reports CBS affiliate KLAS.

Las Vegas police describe the suspect as a white male in his 40s. He has a mustache and was last seen at the Rio wearing a tan jacket and dark pants. According to Reuters, the mustache may be fake and he was wearing a fedora and sunglasses.

Police say the suspect walked into the Rio and began taking chips off of a gaming table. When the dealer at the table tried to stop him, he pulled out a gun. The man did not fire the weapon and no one was injured, reports the station.

He then grabbed the rest of the chips and walked out the door to a taxi cab. The cab driver says the man did not use his gun or act suspicious in any way. He asked to be taken to the Terrible's Casino at Flamingo Road and Paradise Road, paid his fare and disappeared.

In December, a suspect robbed a craps table at the Bellagio of over $1 million in chips while brandishing a gun and wearing a motorcycle helmet.

The man accused of that robbery, Anthony Carleo, is currently in custody facing armed robbery and other charges.

Caesar's Entertainment, which owns the Rio, has not made any comment about the crime.

Soldat Quiets Doubters in Fountain of Youth

Soldat Quiets Doubters in Fountain of Youth

By JOE DRAPE

nytimes.com

HALLANDALE, Fla. — With every powerful stride that Soldat took in the stretch of the 65th running of the Fountain of Youth, the trainer Kiaran McLaughlin felt whatever doubts he had about his colt being pounded away. When the year began, McLaughlin wondered if Soldat was really a Kentucky Derby horse or if he was just hoping that he was.

After all, the colt’s best running had come on grass, where he won the Grade III With Anticipation and was the runner-up in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf. Soldat was set to provide an answer five weeks ago with a dirt start, but rain drenched South Florida and the track at Gulfstream Park came up sloppy.

Soldat ran away from a solid allowance field by 10 ¾ lengths anyway, but there is a penchant for mud in his pedigree, so little was answered.

On Saturday, there was nothing but sunshine and a cloudless sky above and an accomplished field of 3-years-old in the gate. The answers came fast and early as jockey Alan Garcia gunned Soldat, a son of War Front, from the gate and never looked back. He guided him through six furlongs in a sensible 1 minute 12.43 seconds, very aware that a couple of good horses were tracking his every move.

Online Sportsbooks 

“We wanted the lead, and as soon as I got it, I wanted to slow it down,” Garcia said.

John Velazquez had To Honor and Serve gliding effortlessly two lengths back, and Ramon Dominguez was just asking the well-traveled Gourmet Dinner to get in the game from five back.

As they rounded the far turn, McLaughlin had to wonder if Soldat was good enough to hold off a colt as strong as To Honor and Serve, a son of Bernardini. It was To Honor and Serve’s first race as a 3-year-old, but he had been spectacular at 2, galloping off with the Nashua and the Remsen Stakes at Aqueduct.

His trainer Bill Mott, however, was taking a deliberate road to the first Saturday in May. He had put To Honor and Serve through a light workout tab and was only hoping for an even effort — not a winning one — but something to build on.

But Velazquez and To Honor and Serve started what looked like a winning bit as they neared the stretch. Until it did not look so winning.

“He just flattened out,” Velazquez said. “He had just been great, and then he just didn’t have the explosive move. He needed a race.”

Gourmet Dinner was next. The colt has already outrun his $40,000 price tag by traveling from Louisiana to California and winning almost $1 million in purse money. Gourmet Dinner and Dominguez swung wide to the middle of the track and bore down on Soldat. He charged hard but came up two lengths short. To Honor and Serve finished third, four and three-quarter lengths behind Gourmet Dinner.

Soldat, who had been the slight favorite in the field of eight Triple Crown hopefuls, paid $4.80 for a $2 bet to win. He earned a $240,000 first-place check for his owners, Harvey A. Clarke and W. Craig Robertson III.

Most importantly, by covering the mile and an eighth in 1:50.23, Soldat put to rest McLaughlin and anyone else’s doubts about whether he could handle the dirt.

“He’s not a just a turf horse or slop horse,” a relieved McLaughlin said with a smile in the winner’s circle. “He’s done everything right, and today, we got the fast track we wanted.”

But is Soldat a legitimate contender to win the Kentucky Derby? McLaughlin did not have to think about it too long.

“I like our chances,” he said.

FLASHPOINT WINS HUTCHESON Flashpoint pulled away from Travelin Man down the stretch to win the $150,000 Hutcheson Stakes at Gulfstream Park. Ridden by Cornelio Velasquez, he covered seven furlongs in 1:22.03 to win by seven and a quarter lengths. The trainer Richard Dutrow Jr. said he hoped to run Flashpoint in the Florida Derby and then perhaps the Kentucky Derby. (AP)

WAYLAND

Just more than two weeks after opening, the Gun Lake Casino announced Saturday afternoon that a Kalamazoo woman had hit the new casino's first Jumbo Jackpot.

The casino said that Sylvia, whose last name was not provided, and 281 other guests, who won $25 in free slot play, all won for playing with their Passport card when the progressive jackpot hit.

Jumbo Jackpot is a casino-wide progressive game that starts at $20,000 and must hit by $50,000. The progressive had been climbing since the casino's Feb. 10 opening and at 2:45 a.m. Saturday the progressive hit.

Anyone playing with their Passport card is eligible to win the jackpot and everyone playing with their Passport card at the time it hits wins $25 in free slot play.

"We are thrilled to have so many winners since opening," said Carter Pavey, Gun Lake Casino's director of marketing. "We've paid out over 2 million dollars in jackpots alone since opening. Jumbo Jackpot is just another great way for our Guests to win."

To add to the winners, a Wyoming, Mich., resident also hit a jackpot for $75,000; a Plainwell resident took home $33,000; and a Grand Rapids man won $40,000 at the new casino.

888 Poker launches "pokercam"

888 Poker launches "pokercam"

24 Feb 2011

(PRESS RELEASE) -- 888, one of the world's most popular gaming entertainment companies, has launched a groundbreaking "pokercam" option for 888 Poker, innovating to again provide players with something that they have not experienced before.

The poker cam tables, powered by ooVoo, a leading video communication service provider with a best-in-class mobile video chat solution, will be available from the main lobby and will allow players to see their opponents while playing a Texas Hold'em Cash game.

The option builds on the strong social aspects of the 888 poker rooms, which already lead their way in the use of personalised avatars providing an immersive social experience in which players can interact together.

The addition of the "Teams Tournament" feature adds a further dimension to 888's social play. This innovative type of tournament gives players the option of joining a virtual team in a regular tournament format. However, in addition to the traditional prize-pool, players score points for their team, and a portion of the prize is allocated to all of the players that belong to the winning team. Players can group together to face off as rival football teams or cities, adding an emotional level to the play, with links to major social networking sites letting people know when like-minded people have joined a tournament.

As well as these innovations in the game play, the "late registration" option means that there is always a tournament to join, even at off-peak times. An improved lobby also gives a better user experience, and allows quick and easy entry to tables.

The new offer builds on the enormously successful launch of Poker 6 in June 2010, which overhauled the Poker platform and provided an intuitive usability that targeted the casual player. The platform also allowed players to play Poker in 3D.

Hili Shakked, Director of Poker Offering, 888holdings, said:

"Through the addition of video streams to our hugely successful Poker 6 we are offering an even more personal, inclusive, and social environment. On top of this, the chance to play as part of a team in the Team Tournaments, provides a competitive edge that allows players to meet and play with other like-minded people."

Mobile Spread Betting and CFD Trading Growing in Popularity

Mobile Spread Betting and CFD Trading Growing in Popularity

 

LONDON, February 23, 2011 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- It may be in its infancy compared to traditional spread betting and CFD trading platform such as telephone or computer-based methods, but it already looks as though mobile trading is here to stay.

Joshua Raymond, Market Strategist at spread betting and CFD trading provider City Index (http://www.cityindex.co.uk/), recently revealed: "Since the release of City Trading(TM)" - the company's first live spread betting and CFD trading app for the iPhone(TM), launched in October 2009 - "the percentage of total trades placed on our mobile platforms has risen from less than 3% to 15%, which underlines just what an impact [mobile trading] has had on traders' behaviour."

The rise of mobile trading is reflective of modern business. Financial markets can now change incredibly quickly, so traders need reliable, fast access to their accounts in order to keep pace.

Betfair 

After introducing its iPhone spread betting and CFD trading function in October 2009, City Index was voted 'Best Mobile Trading Platform' at the MoneyAM Online Finance Awards 2010. The company has now launched its mobile trading app across Blackberry, Android, Java and Windows platforms - and recently released an updated version of its original iPhone app.

The new version of the City Trading(TM) app ( http://www.cityindex.co.uk/Installing-City-Trading-4.1.aspx) features a bespoke live charting package developed internally by City Index's team of mobile trading technology experts. The enhanced spread betting and CFD trading app also includes exclusive live news feeds from Dow Jones Newswires.

"With the addition of the most powerful live charting package available, as well as newsfeeds from Dow Jones Newswires, we hope that clients will continue to benefit from the most comprehensive mobile dealing offering on the market," stated Mr. Raymond.

Finally, though he believes mobile dealing to be the future of trading, Joshua Raymond is keen to point out that such advances in technology do not make the basics of their spread betting and CFD trading any less important. "[The] more you look at prices moving, the higher the potential for you to make impulse trades without proper research and analysis. Make sure you have carefully analysed your market before trading, regardless of whether you execute your trades via a mobile, online or phone."

Mucho Macho Man moves up AP's Derby Top 10 list

Mucho Macho Man moves up AP's Derby Top 10 list

Feb. 22, 2011 

The Associated Press

Kathy Ritvo is healthy, the horse she trains is a stakes winner, and the trainer is back home in Florida working on a plan to get Mucho Macho Man to the Kentucky Derby.

Online Sportsbooks 

A little more than two years after receiving a heart transplant, the 41-year-old trainer says she's never felt better — and having a promising 3-year-old colt is pretty good therapy, too.

"I'm just excited because I've got my health back, and I'm ready to go," said Ritvo, who returned to training horses six months after the lifesaving surgery in November 2008.

Mucho Macho Man was ready to go, too, taking the lead at the top of the stretch and holding off Santiva for a 1½-length victory in the $300,000 Risen Star at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans on Saturday.

The win — the lanky colt's second in seven starts — moves Mucho Macho Man up three spots to No. 4 in the AP's latest Run to the Roses Top 10 list of Derby contenders.

The top three remain the same, with unbeaten Uncle Mo at No. 1, followed by To Honor And Serve and Brethren.

Uncle Mo's next start is set for March 12, with To Honor And Serve scheduled to run in Saturday's $400,000 Fountain Of Youth at Gulfstream Park.

Also moving up, to No. 7 from No. 10, is The Factor. The speedy gray colt took the lead early and then held off Sway Away by three-quarters of a length in winning Sunday's 7-furlong, $150,000 San Vicente at Santa Anita.

The Factor is trained by three-time Derby winner Bob Baffert, and was ridden by Martin Garcia, who replaced Rafael Bejarano. A big question is whether The Factor can sustain his speed going the Derby distance of 1¼ miles.

"It's hard to get a horse like this," Baffert said. "They don't come around very often. He'll benefit from this race."

Ritvo is hoping Mucho Macho Man's final prep will come in the $1 million Florida Derby on April 3, but is keeping her options open. She became the colt's trainer last fall, taking over for her husband, Tim, who took a job with the company that owns Gulfstream.

"I would love to stay home for the Florida Derby," she said, "but we're going to see how he comes back" before making a decision.

Rajiv Maragh was aboard Mucho Macho Man, a last-minute substitute for Eibar Coa, who remains in a hospital with a fractured neck vertebra from a spill at Gulfstream on Friday.

Also:

—Soldat, who romped to victory in the slop at Gulfstream last month, moves onto the list at No. 10; Sham Stakes winner Tapizar (No. 9 last week) is off the Derby trail with a bone chip in a knee.

—This weekend's preps are the 1 1/8-mile Fountain of Youth (To Honor And Serve, Dialed In and Soldat top the field) and the 7-furlong Hutcheson, both at Gulfstream; and the 1 1/16th-mile Borderland Derby at Sunland Park.

—The first Derby future wager odds were set Sunday night, with Uncle Mo the top individual entry at 7-2. The mutuel field, or all the nominated 3-year-olds not among the 23 horses with individual odds, is the favorite at 2-1 favorite.

Poker Pros Network Launches

A new poker site – the Poker Pros Network – is set to launch on the Cake network. The site is backed by a number of professional poker players, including six-time World Series of Poker bracelet winner T.J. Cloutier. The news comes less than a month after Doyle’s Room left Cake to join the Yatahay network.

Poker Pros Network Launches

By Dan Cypra

Feb 20th, 2011

Several brand name players serve as the front men for the Poker Pros Network, which launched on the Cake Poker Network over the weekend. The site offers a $500 first-time deposit bonus and is headquartered in Costa Rica.

Chuck Kidd, CEO of the Poker Pros Network, was excited to bring his vision to life for players from the United States and around the world. Kidd commented in a press release, “We are proud to team with Cake Poker Network, a proven world class organization, to bring this unique PPN experience to the poker world. We have currently signed top online pro players, as well as brick-and-mortar pros, to play at the PPN. The allure of playing against the world’s best online poker players has already been proven. At PPN, we make it easy to interact with the PPN pro players of your choice on your schedule and within your budget.”

Poker Hall of Fame member T.J. Cloutier is perhaps the new site’s best-known pro. Cloutier owns six World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelets, tied for the ninth most overall, and has amassed over $4 million in career WSOP earnings. Cloutier’s last piece of hardware came in 2005 and he was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame one year later alongside Billy Baxter.

Women in Poker Hall of Fame members Barbara Enright and Marsha Waggoner are also icons for the Poker Pros Network. Enright and Waggoner were inducted into the Women in Poker Hall of fame three years ago as part of its founding class along with Poker News Daily Guest Columnist Linda Johnson and poker author Susie Isaacs.

Other pros on the Poker Pros Network include former IronDuke pro Jennifer “Jennicide” Leigh, James Worth, Charlie Marchese, Josh Brikis, Michael Schuerpf, Vincent “Diamond8” Gabel, Kevin “Civell” Vandermissen, Jonathan “driverseati” Tamayo, actress Jennifer Elise Cox, Matias Gabrenja, Young Phan, PokerXFactor instructor Chris “Fox” Wallace, Jena Delk, and WSOP bracelet winner Chris Reslock. The brand also offers a casino and sports book.

The Cake Poker Network recently saw the departure of DoylesRoom, which left to join the smaller Yatahay Poker Network, whose flagship site is TruePoker. As a result, peak cash game player counts on the Cake Poker Network have routinely fallen below 1,000 according to PokerScout.com.

On January 27th, the final day that DoylesRoom made its home on the Cake Poker Network, a peak of 1,356 cash game players was recorded. The next day, that number was just 961. In the first 27 days of January, the peak cash game player count on the Cake Poker Network fell below 1,000 just once. In the first 19 days of February, that has occurred 10 times.

As you’d imagine, Cake Poker Network officials were elated to bring a new skin into the fold. Cake’s Marketing Director Andrew Turner commented in the same press release, “We are very excited to have the Poker Pros Network and their pros join the Cake Network. They are a great partner for us, as they bring a strong brand and continue to expand our growing network of professional online poker players who strive for online poker excellence.”

The Poker Pros Network was planning a weekly bounty tournament where one player will walk away with a prize package for the 2011 WSOP Main Event in Las Vegas. However, no further information about the tournament was given on its website at the time of writing.

The lobby of the Poker Pros Network will highlight which pros are online at any given moment, making the process of playing with poker’s brightest stars a fairly simple endeavor.

Macau Poker Cup to begin next week

16 Feb 2011

MACAU -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- The Macau Poker Cup (MPC) is set to begin next week from February 21-27 and all signs point towards yet another record-breaking week for PokerStars Macau at Casino Grand Lisboa.

The Red Dragon main event now comes with a HKD $3,000,000 Guarantee and the 321-player record - - set in 2010 - - is expected to be shattered.

Asia's premiere poker series has a 200-player capacity for each of the two Day 1 Red Dragon heats. Day 1A will have more than half those seats occupied by PokerStars qualifiers before the first player even registers in the poker room's cage.

"The Flying Dutchman" Marcel Luske will be landing just in time for the kickoff Charity event on February 22 and will be joined by fellow dutch Team PokerStars Pro Pieter de Korver.

Confirmed attendees for the MPC also include Team PokerStars PRO: Asia Raymond Wu from Taipei, Bryan Huang from Singapore, and Celina Lin from China.

At the end of last year, Wu released the first Taiwanese poker book written by a PokerStars pro where the first edition has already sold out. PokerStars Macau will be holding a Raymond Wu Book Signing on Friday, February 25 at 5:30 PM where players have the opportunity to meet Taipei's top ranked player and ask questions one-on-one.

Huang is the defending Asia Player of the Year (APOY) winner and his quest to repeat looks strong after winning January's opening $2,000 KO Bounty event. All of the numbered tournaments in February's MPC are Official Asia Player of Year events. The 2011 APOY winner will receive a 1-year sponsorship with PokerStars Macau.

Poker Player wins $280,000 at William Hill Poker

Poker Player wins $280,000 at William Hill Poker

15 Feb 2011

(PRESS RELEASE) -- A player on Playtech's iPoker network, the largest B2B network in the world, has won $280,000 in his second jackpot win in as many months. This latest win on the Fort Knox Jackpot follows a $30,000 win on iPoker's Rio Jackpot in December.

Fort Knox is a Sit 'n Go tournament that has a starting prize fund of $50,000 that increases every week until a player wins six consecutive tournaments and lands the jackpot. With over $6.5 million given away in its five-year history, Fort Knox is one of iPoker's most popular jackpots.

The William Hill Poker player, nicknamed isKioN1, commented: 'I started playing the Fort Knox SNG because it was profitable from the beginning. Not only can you win the first prize but also second prize, which is won easier and more frequently. I will continue playing both the Rio and Fort Knox, as they have the biggest jackpot prizes.'

Was the Super Bowl Halftime Show Underrated?

By TONI MONKOVIC

PlayersOnly 

On the Fifth Down live blog of the Super Bowl, we received an almost unanimous thumbs down from readers on the Black Eyed Peas’ halftime performance. The Times’s ArtsBeat blog noted a similar reaction on Twitter.

Maybe this is a bit of a contrarian view, but are we expecting too much from the Super Bowl halftime show?

It has become a national pinata — these guys are dinosaurs, those guys are selling out – and the Black Eyed Peas were merely taking their turn being whacked. Not to suggest that the Peas were brilliant (or have ever been brilliant); some of the vocals were sketchy. But the overall spectacle — with the dancers, the light shows, the guest performances of Slash and Usher, and yes, the Peas, themselves — didn’t seem to deserve condemnation.

Here’s a short roundup of reaction:

Nekesa Mumbi Moody of The Associated Press reflected the consensus, and said the Peas seemed “tentative and tense.”

On second thought, maybe Usher should have been the headliner for the Super Bowl halftime show.

The superstar had only a brief cameo in the showcase, but his tightly choreographed moves and acrobatics marked the brief exhilarating moment of a surprisingly stale medley from the normally frenetic headliners, the Black Eyed Peas.

But …

Greg Kot of The Chicago Tribune has been a longtime detractor of the Peas on the excellent “Sound Opinions” weekly radio program he co-hosts with Jim DeRogatis. He said the halftime show somehow worked, mainly because the format fit the group’s limited skills:

The Black Eyed Peas, the first contemporary pop act to headline the Super Bowl halftime since Janet Jackson was over-exposed by Justin Timberlake in 2004, proved to be an oddly appropriate choice for the National Football League’s big international party Sunday in Dallas.

With lyrics like Madison Avenue slogans plastered over relentless beats, the quartet’s big, proudly superficial music advertised and celebrated itself. It’s not meant to be scrutinized, but blasted over big speakers at Cowboys Stadium or in saloons worldwide hosting Super Bowl parties.

It’s nearly impossible to do anything nuanced or thoughtful on such a stage in 12 minutes. So the Peas went for the gusto and the spectacle, wearing neon spacesuits and surrounded by flourescent dancers.

Coming in short minute-long bursts, the Peas’ songs actually benefited from the nervous, jump-cut energy of the medley.

Jay Lustig of The Star-Ledger said the Peas had some surprises to offer:

And while it’s true that when there wasn’t something spectacular going on, visually, they didn’t offer much in the way of vocal dynamics, it’s also true that there was usually something spectacular going on, visually — those hordes of glowing dancers really were pretty cool — so the 12 minutes passed very quickly.

It was a solid B performance — but nowhere near an A.

Extra point: Feel free to add your grade and mini-review. And what would it take for a halftime show to be considered a success?

Packers Put the Title Back in Titletown

Packers Put the Title Back in Titletown

By JUDY BATTISTA

nytimes

ARLINGTON, Tex. — When the Green Bay Packers watched Aaron Rodgers sit in the green room as he plummeted down the first round of the 2005 draft, they noted his poise at dealing with his agonizing plight.

The Packers had already done extra research on Rodgers when they heard the predraft buzz that he might drop, and those long moments under the klieg lights only reassured them that he might be able to handle what was to come.

Rodgers’s equanimity was tested later in his career, when Brett Favre did not go gracefully into retirement, casting Rodgers in the awkward role of a franchise quarterback in waiting, unwanted by some of his own team’s fans.

Bodog USA 

Rodgers’s talent has long since soothed most of the Favre loyalists, and his performance this season, as the Packers’ roster was decimated by injuries, made him one of the N.F.L.’s brightest young stars. But it will be his levelheadedness in the Super Bowl on Sunday night, when he rebounded from errant throws, dropped passes and a torrid comeback attempt by the Pittsburgh Steelers, that will solidify his spot in the lore of one of the league’s most storied franchises.

With fans wearing cheeseheads in a pigskin palace, the Green Bay Packers won their fourth Super Bowl by defeating the Pittsburgh Steelers, 31-25, at Cowboys Stadium. It was the first title for Titletown since the 1996 season, when Favre won his lone Vince Lombardi Trophy, named for the Packers’ legendary coach. The Packers, the league’s only community-owned franchise, also won nine N.F.L. championships before the Super Bowl era, and their 13 titles make them the most decorated team in league history.

As the final seconds ticked away, Rodgers stood over the N.F.L. logo at midfield and jumped up and down. He had completed 24 of 39 passes for 304 yards and 3 touchdowns, and was named the most valuable player of the game, completing a career arc notable nearly as much for his maturity as for his passing.

“I’ve never felt like there’s been a monkey on my back,” Rodgers said. Then he recalled a conversation he had with General Manager Ted Thompson, who had been excoriated for the ugly divorce with Favre. “I told Ted back in 2005 he wouldn’t be sorry with this pick,” Rodgers said. “I told him in ’08 that I was going to repay their trust and get us this opportunity.”

Still, Rodgers bemoaned the throws he missed Sunday. The Packers never trailed, but the victory felt far from dominating because the Steelers roared back from a 21-3 first-half deficit and had the ball trailing by just 6 points at the two-minute warning. That was when the Packers’ defense, the backbone of a season in which none of the team’s six losses came by more than 4 points, finally held off the Steelers. Green Bay sent Pittsburgh away without its seventh Super Bowl title in a game that had turned the reputations of two grind-it-out teams on their heads. The teams combined for 79 pass attempts, 36 runs and 725 yards of offense.

The Packers were intent on testing the weakness of the Steelers’ defense — the cornerbacks — from the start, spreading the field with the game’s best set of receivers. Rodgers, whose scintillating performances during the playoffs had solidified his position among the game’s best passers, threw on every first down except two in the first half, while the Packers ran for just 37 yards.

Rodgers’s first few passes were high, perhaps a sign of nerves, but he settled down on the Packers’ second drive. On third-and-1 from the Steelers’ 29, he checked into a pass play, spotting Jordy Nelson with one-on-one coverage on the outside, and lofted a perfect pass to Nelson’s outside shoulder. The touchdown gave the Packers a 7-0 lead and a good omen: they have scored first in all five of their Super Bowl appearances.

Then the Packers got their first break. On the next play from scrimmage, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, with a defender’s hand in his face, threw a pass that floated so long in the air that the Packers’ Nick Collins, reacting to Roethlisberger’s pump fake to the left side of the field, ran to the sideline. He leaped up to intercept the pass and returned it 37 yards for a touchdown.

That gave the Packers a 14-0 lead. And it was the first of three touchdowns that came off Steelers turnovers, two of them interceptions. Roethlisberger entered the game 10-2 in playoff starts, but after a season in which he had carefully tried to rebuild his image after a sexual-assault allegation, this was a crushing loss.

Roethlisberger (25 of 40 for 263 yards, 2 touchdowns, 2 interceptions) spoke softly after the game about how he felt he had let the city of Pittsburgh down.

“We’re a team of fighters; we don’t quit,” he said. “If I had played a little bit better, I feel like we would have had a better chance to win the game.”

When the Packers held the Steelers to a field goal on their next drive, then intercepted Roethlisberger again in the second quarter, they threatened to blow the game open. Rodgers threw a laser of a 21-yard pass to Greg Jennings in the end zone — another first-down pass — and the Packers had a 21-3 lead and their foot on the gas.

And then, suddenly, it stopped. The Packers entered this season as perhaps the most talented team in the N.F.L., but an avalanche of injuries caused them to squeak into the playoffs as the N.F.C.’s sixth seed after needing a victory in the final week of the regular season.

This game, then, became a microcosm of the season. It was marred by a series of injuries, the most critical one just before halftime when Charles Woodson, the Packers’ superb cornerback, dived to break up a deep pass and landed awkwardly. The fall broke his collarbone and Woodson, who was the defensive player of the year in 2009, watched with his arm in a sling for the rest of the game. Woodson tried to address the team at halftime, but was too overcome by emotion to continue.

“It doesn’t matter,” Woodson said later of his injury. “I’m a champion.”

But Woodson’s absence freed the Steelers for a precise two-minute drill that ended with an 8-yard touchdown pass to Hines Ward that made the score 21-10 at halftime.

The Steelers dominated the third quarter, though. When Packers receiver James Jones, who has had a few other noteworthy drops this season, dropped what would have probably been a touchdown pass early in the third quarter, Thompson, sitting in the press box, put his hands over his head in dismay.

After taking their 21-3 lead late in the first half, the Packers had only one first down until the fourth quarter. And when the Steelers turned to their running game to grind out a touchdown drive early in the third, they trailed by just 21-17 — and felt as if they had a lead.

But then the game grew sloppy. Both quarterbacks threw errant passes. On the first play of the fourth quarter, Packers linebacker Clay Matthews blasted through the line of scrimmage and smashed into the Steelers’ Rashard Mendenhall. Mendenhall fumbled, and the Packers recovered. It might have been the play that saved the season, because the drive ended with an 8-yard touchdown pass from Rodgers to Greg Jennings that gave the Packers an 11-point lead with 12 minutes to play.

In the end, it was enough for a team whose entire season was predicated on hanging on. After the game, Rodgers said that a close loss to New England late in the season — which Rodgers missed with a concussion — convinced him that the Packers had a good team with an opportunity they should not waste.

They didn’t, and in Green Bay on Sunday night, one night after Coach Mike McCarthy had his Packers fitted for Super Bowl rings as a motivational ploy, the N.F.L.’s smallest market celebrated with an impromptu gathering at Lambeau Field. As the N.F.L. heads into an uncertain future, the championship had returned to its most hallowed roots.

Nicholls enters 10 for Grand National at Aintree in April

Nicholls enters 10 for National

Champion trainer Paul Nicholls has 10 of the 102 entries for the Grand National at Aintree in April.

2011/02/02 

BBC 

Nicholls has never won the race and his hopes include recent Cheltenham winner Neptune Collonges and What A Friend, part-owned by Sir Alex Ferguson.

The Midnight Club is among nine entries for Irish trainer Willie Mullins.

Jonjo O'Neill has three contenders - Don't Push It, who won the National for Tony McCoy in 2010, plus Synchronised and Can't Buy Time.

Entries for the Grand National closed on Wednesday, with the weights announced on 15 February. Of the 102 contenders, 34 are trained in Ireland and three in France.

SportingBet

Last year the race attracted 112 entries. although a maximum field of 40 is allowed on the day for the four-and-a-half mile contest.

Neptune Collonges and What A Friend are joined by stablemates The Tother One, Tricky Trickster, Taranis, Tatenen, Niche Market, Just Amazing, Gullible Gordon and Meanus Dandy.

McCoy won the National at the 15th attempt last year, and was voted the 2010 BBC Sports Personality.

It seems likely he will choose between Don't Push It and January's Welsh National winner Synchronised.

The Northern Irish jockey is retained by owner JP McManus, whose other entries are the recent purchase Quolibet, trained in France by Francois Doumen, as well as Arbor Supreme and Quiscover Fontaine, representing Willie Mullins.

Ballabriggs, trained by Donald McCain, hardened as ante-post National favourite after winning over hurdles at Ayr on Monday.

The 10-year-old, ridden by Jason Maguire, was scoring his fifth straight victory as he took the novices' hurdle over two miles and four furlongs.

Ballabriggs is rated a 16-1 chance for the Aintree marathon on 9 April.

McCain's father Ginger won the National four times - three with Red Rum in the 1970s, plus Amberleigh House in 2004.

Hoping to win the National for a second time will be David Pipe, whose five hopefuls number the 2008 scorer Comply Or Die, now aged 12.

He has also entered Junior, who could seek a remarkable Royal Ascot-Grand National double, having won the Ascot Stakes last summer.

The Evan Williams-trained State Of Play, Howard Johnson's Tidal Bay and Ferdy Murphy's Big Fella Thanks are other interesting contenders.

The Irish entries include the 2008 Welsh National winner Notre Pere, the Edward O'Grady-trained Tranquil Sea, Noel Glynn's stable star Becauseicouldntsee, the Martin Lynch-trained Oscar Time and Gordon Elliott's Backstage, who unseated his rider in the 2010 race.

But one Irish challenger who will not be making the trip is the 2010 Grand National runner-up Black Apalachi, who has been ruled out for the season.

Now a 12-year-old, Black Apalachi was going ominously well when unseating Denis O'Regan at Becher's Brook on the second circuit in 2009 before finishing second to Don't Push It last April.

He was being prepared solely with the race in mind again but has sustained a tendon injury.

"Can you imagine it? He jumps around Aintree with not a bother year after year and then he gets a leg," said trainer Dessie Hughes.

"I've no idea how it happened, it just appeared. We were lucky we didn't run him the other day.

"He might come back, but he's 12 now. He'll have to stand in his box for a month or two. This probably would have been his year.

"But maybe his year was the year he unseated - you don't get too many chances."

Another horse missing the race is Pipe's The Package , who has suffered a setback.

He was creeping into contention before unseating Graham Lee at the 19th fence in the 2010 National.

"Fortunately he is a relatively lightly-raced eight-year-old so there is still plenty of time for him, and I look forward to getting him back on track next term," said Pipe on his
