Bits and Pieces for a Monday Evening

-Golf with the boys earlier today.  That would be Jack Butcher (62), Ken Hudson (68), myself (69) and Jack Lents (71) - net scores in parens.  Of note: Jack Butcher's 76 meant he shot his age once again.  Didn't he just do that?  No hole-in-ones, though Ken and Jack B. each had chip in birdies.

-Here's a good idea for the future of the lady golfers - don't be relying on one super star (like Michelle Wie), go global.  Money is in Asia, not to mention a bunch of the existing and the up and coming young stars.  Makes sense to me.  Btw, Lorena Ochoa did win the LPGA's POY by finishing second down in Houston.  Jiyai Shin came close - could have one with a chip in for birdie at the 18th hole.

-Colts win for the second week in a row on a play by the opposing team that goes against conventional wisdom and turns out bad.  Ravens, deep in Colt territory and needing only a field goal to win, and a couple of running plays to use up most of the time remaining (or, at least, the remainder of the Colts timeouts), put one up in the air and had it intercepted by a Colt defender. 

-Here's a list (via the bleacher report and the Chicago Tribune) of possible replacements for the Irish football coach.  Tony Dungy gets a mention but only in the 'forget about it' section.  Interesting.
