Cameron Maybin Steals a Taco for America

Taco Bell has continued their "Steal a Base, Steal a Taco" campaign for the 2017 World Series between the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Dodgers. If any player steals a base during the series, United States Taco Bell locations will give away a free Doritos Locos Taco.

After no bases were swiped in Game 1, Cameron Maybin of the Astros stole one in Game 2, earning free tacos for all of America. These tacos will be of the Doritos Locos line, meaning the hard shell is made out of Doritos and available in Cool Ranch, Nacho Cheese, or Fiery varieties.

Free tacos will be available November 1 from 2-6 PM at participating locations while supplies last. No purchase is necessary but there is a limit of one free taco per person.

Taco Bell has triggered this giveaway in each of the last six seasons. It's all but guaranteed the giveaway will take place each year, as 99 of the past 100 World Series have featured a stolen base by either team, with the 1944 World Series between the St. Louis Cardinals and Browns the lone exception.

Taco Bell runs a similar promotion during the NBA Finals: "Steal a Road Game, Steal a Taco." This is definitely less of a guarantee than a stolen base, but not too unlikely either. 

Taco Bell uses the promotion to get more customers into their many locations. Though you can take the free taco and leave, many consumers add a drink or more food to their meal.

Patriots Quickly Lose Underdog Status in Fluctuating Vegas Line

Championship Sunday gave us two wild overtime games with the winners set to meet in two weeks at Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta. On Sunday night, the Los Angeles Rams opened as slight one point favorites, which would have had Tom Brady and the New England Patriots play the underdog role once again. The line quickly shifted to a pick 'em game. This feels like the most accurate reflection of the game's odds. While the Rams finished with a better regular season schedule, Brady and the Patriots are playing in their third straight Super Bowl and it would be tough to call them true underdogs. As Monday progressed, bettors started shifting the line in favor of the Patriots, likely to reflect early bets. Many bettors probably saw taking an underdog Patriots team as an easy bet. The line could go even deeper in New England's favor, or perhaps balance out closer to a pick 'em. Realistically, the line won't favor either team by more than 1 or 2 points, making it essentia...

Lakers, 76ers, Pelicans Among 5 Teams Interested In Carmelo Anthony

The Carmelo Anthony experiment in Houston is already coming to an end, and despite his teams have a worse record with him on the court as opposed to off it over the past two seasons, there are still playoff contenders interested in the veteran's services. As of right now, Anthony is still a Houston Rocket. Barring a trade, it's highly anticipated he will be waived and get to choose his next team. His representatives have already been probing front offices to gauge interest.  Five suitors have emerged, per information from NBA Insiders Kevin O'Conner  and Marc J. Spears . The reports conflict slightly, but the combined list includes the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers, Portland Trailblazers, New Orleans Pelicans, and Miami Heat. O'Conner listed the three Western Conference teams, including the Lakers, as the likeliest landing spots, while Spears' intel tells him the Lakers are done making short-term free agent moves.  The Lakers  are e...

Carmelo Anthony Traded to Chicago Bulls, Will Be Released

Veteran Carmelo Anthony, who appeared in a mere 10 games for the Houston Rockets and none since November 8, has been traded from the Houston Rockets to the Chicago Bulls for cash considerations. According to a league source and via Adrian Wojnarowski, Anthony will be swiftly released by the Bulls, as he was last year by the Atlanta Hawks. Anthony won't play a game for the Bulls, league source tells ESPN. He will be released and become a free agent if he clears waivers. https://t.co/Oo2IA0nsJP — Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) January 21, 2019 This officially gives Melo the opportunity to explore free agent opportunities. I pondered potential landing spots in November, and many of the teams remain hot destinations. The short-handed Los Angeles Lakers could be particularity interested as they search for depth amidst injuries.
