Online sports gambling dynamics are changing quickly as nearly everyone has been hiding under their desks these days as December has been hot and heavy with massive firings of coaches that will change the look and the angles of the respective teams and sports involved.
College football has led the way with a deluge of firings that could still go on as now assistant coaches are being picked off left and right by head coaches that barely survived and who are facing the guarantee of being clipped if they don’t improve things in 2012. Among the most bizarre of all firings was at Texas A&M where Mike Sherman methodically built the Aggies up to the status of a 9-win team last year that included wins over Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. The Aggies slipped back this year to 6-6 as they had trouble holding big leads. Instead of thinking in terms of giving Sherman another year as he continued to recruit great talent, the Aggies went to the extreme to fire him a week after a tough and controversial loss to Texas.

Exclusive Interview by “Bad” Brad Berkwitt
“Pat Cooper is a rarity in the business, best defined with the expression, ‘What you see is what you get!’ He’s the most honest man in the business; one of my favorite people! –an’ you can tell him I said so!”—Julius La Rosa
“No one is funnier once Pat gets going! He is hard to top. Al loved him as all Italians do. They adopted him as part of their family.”– Judi Martino (Widow of the legendary Italian Singer Al Martino)
Pasquale Caputo came into this world on July 31, 1929. Years later, as Pasquale plied his trade in comedy, he would transform into Pat Cooper, entertaining fans with his own brand of comedy that is more rapid than a 1920’s Thompson submachine gun. In the “Book of Berkwitt,” the music world had Frank Sinatra, the movie world has Al Pacino, the boxing world had Aaron Pryor and finally, the comedy world has Pat Cooper. Before the NewzBreaker readers bombard me with emails saying are you crazy with these choices, I said in “The Book of Berkwitt.”

“I was raised that your word is your bond and family is everything.”—Deirdre Marie Capone
Al Capone’s grandniece, Deirdre Marie Capone, has written an outstanding book called “Uncle Al Capone” that I recently reviewed on NewzBreaker that talks about the man behind the myth, her loving “Uncle Al.” Throughout the book, she tells inside stories about the family that has never gotten any press before.
From the moment we sat down to do our interview, I found a very warm lady that is no longer afraid to say she is a Capone for fear of being shunned – something she has dealt with along with many other of her family members over the years. In this exclusive interview, you are going to hear some things from Deirdre that are going to shock you, but if you really think about it, they are not hard to believe at all…
Ladies and Gentlemen, NB brings you Mrs Deirdre Marie Capone..
December 12th, 2011 CEO Today would have been Frank Sinatra’s 96th birthday. Happy Birthday Frank.

“The piano players have always excited me.”–Peter Cincotti
Last year I was surfing Youtube looking for a great song that was from The Godfather named “COME LIVE YOUR LIFE WITH ME.” Up until that time, I had only heard the version the late Italian Crooner Al Martino had done.
Well, in my search, I found a version that a young Italian singer had done. His name was Peter Cincotti, and his rendition, simply put, was amazing. From there, I searched out more of his music and found that he also was one heck of a piano player too.
Youtube is chock full of great stuff that he has performed. I suggest that you watch his live version of “I LOVE PARIS.”
Peter sat down with NewzBreaker and discussed his musical career, thoughts on the industry and an interesting choice on which actor he would pick if he had to cast himself in a movie of his life…..

As a young man, I was exposed to many things by my late father, Alvin Berkwitt, who was 40 years my senior. Comedy was certainly one of them. Comedy albums or TV shows with comedians was common place in our household and my first exposure to Pat Cooper. When Pat came on the screen or when we listened to him on our record player, Dad’s laughter turned to tears. He would always say, “Bradley that is talent. Either you have it, or you don’t.”

Comedian Patrice O’ Neal sadly passed away yesterday at the age of 41 from a stroke brought on by his battle with Diabetes. O’Neal was a mainstay for over two decades throughout comedy clubs in the New York area and more recently, he had the crowd on the floor during the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen.
NewzBreaker extends our condolences to the family and fans of Patrice O’Neal…
