Prop Odds On Sarah Palin's Puck Dropping Skills

I think what I admire most about America — after our vast interstate highway system and the existence of fried elephant ears — is that you can literally bet on anything. The thing I admire most after that, is that a vice-presidential candidate could appear at professional hockey game in Philadelphia and there is no scenario — violent, comedic or otherwise — that is not out of the realm of possibility. So let's make some money off this! Here are some current (and real) proposition bets available for the Flyers' season opener against the Rangers, and their payoff odds:

Will Sarah Palin Fall while dropping the Puck at the Philadelphia Flyers Home Opener? Yes 10/1 Will Sarah Palin get in a Donnybrook with the Flyers Captain at Center Ice? Yes 100,000/1 Will Sarah Palin get Booed more or Cheered more when introduced onto the Ice at the Flyers Home Opener? Booed -130 Cheered -110 Will Sarah Palin wear a Philadelphia Flyers jersey at Center Ice? Yes Even No -140

The line on booing at any Philly event is always moving fast, so get some action going. Take that one and parlay it with the over on game misconduct penalties from Ron Hextall's ghost and you'll be able to pay for your own bridge to nowhere. • Hockey Props [an online sportsbook]
