-More on Michelle Wie from the NY Times. She just had a birthday and is now undefeated as a twenty year old. No victories as a teenager but still a pretty impressive list of accomplishments.
-Eric filled me in on the statistical sagacity of Belichick's Sunday night decision to go for it. Of course, statistics don't tell the whole story and to my way of thinking are just one tool of many used by decision makers. However, keeping the ball in the hands of his best players, like Brady and Moss, makes a whole lot of sense to me. Also like people suggesting that he expressed supreme confidence in his young defense by going for it, thinking that they would certainly be able to stop Manning, etc, if the offense failed. More good reading from the NY Times online here.
-How about Bob Stoops of Oklahoma as the next Irish coach. The bleacher report says yes here and also says to cross out Jon Gruden as a candidate here. I kinda liked the idea of Jon Gruden being the coach but Bob Stoops will do. Doesn't really matter to me as long as they win or get out of the big football go round. Ivy League would be just fine.
-Had some golfers yesterday - didn't turn cool and rainy till right around five in the afternoon. Today's another matter entirely. Could hope for a break and sneak some in but I wouldn't hold my breath.
