Bits and Pieces for a Monday Morning

-The Arizona Cardinals blow a 17 point lead against the Green Bay Packers but then win it on a blitz and a fumble in OT, 51-45.  The Sunday evening shootout, with each of the offenses racing up and down the 'court', made for a good show and allowed me to finish the weekend with a win.  Alas, it was the only one of the four in my predictions that I got right.  I really did think that I was going to be an 0 for 4'er when the Packers won the coin toss.

-Now for next week's predictions:
  *Cardinals vs. Saints: Warner is so good but certainly the Saints have a bit of a defense to go along with their sterling offense.  Saints right their ship and win.
  *Colts vs. Ravens: Colts had better win after management gave away their perfect season.
  *Cowboys vs. Vikings: Dallas looked awfully good in their win over the Eagles but expect the Dome and Favre to send them packing.  Vikings win in a close one.
   *Chargers vs. Jets: What the heck, I want to see a rematch of the Jets and Indy.  Jets continue their post season romp and throttle the Chargers.

-Out in sunny and warm Hawaii, Geoff Ogilvy wins the season opener on the PGA tour.  Lucas Glover had himself two days of glory but blew it on the weekend.  Ho hum.

-Here's a golf blog for those of you who take the golf game with a grain of salt and an appreciation for the more beautiful of the players around the globe: golf spelled backwards*.  And here's Michelle Wie's non golf blog if you want a peek into what she does in other areas of her life.
