    Abu Dhabi

    Outrights: Nick Dougherty(90/1) e.w. - - Lousy prices, bad pairings or wild horses couldn't drag me away during this year's gatherings in the desert. I do not see many events in his immediate future when Nick will be 4+ times the price of Rory Mcilroy. "It was a rubbish year."...

    I never paid much attention. I thought this was an interesting article: http://women.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/women/body_and_soul/article4831109.ece And I thought these were a few interesting observations: "set a filter up on your email so it all goes in to one folder, or...

    Bowling for mediocrity

    NCAA YTD: 42-52 (-11.95*) NFL YTD: 28-22 (+4.80*) I had been 37-36 (+1.20*) for NCAA YTD after Buffalo rallied against Bowling Green on 11/21/08, then the train wreck. If I hadn't been busy with other stuff and this Bowl thread had been up and running when I meant to start it, I would...

    Duck and Cover

    NCAA YTD: 40-48 (-9.35*) NFL YTD: 23-15 (+7.30*) My record was 36-36 (+0.20*) until two weeks ago, and thought I should have been slightly better. Then I failed to play some easy winners in the Big Ten, and forced three losers in some late games, and two weeks later, my season is what it is...

    The usual

    NFL YTD: 15-10 (+4.55*) NCAA YTD: 36-36 (+0.20*) I really liked the opportunities with yesterday's NCAA card, which is not a very frequent feeling with me, but I only had a 5-3 (+2.15*) effort to show for it because of a piss poor "trigger finger" . . . Back to the usual with today's NFL card...
