Bits and Pieces for a Monday Morning

-My prognostications of a week ago were on the money: Colts, Jets, Vikings and Saints all won.  Unfortunately, I had no real money down anywhere on any of the teams.  That gives me a 5 and 3 record for the post season.

-Picks for the next round: Colts over Jets in a not so close game - the players have something to prove here and the return of the Jets to Indy gives them the chance to shame management for its dastardly deed of December 27th.  And the Saints over the Vikings in a shootout.

-PGA, week 2: the Sony won by Ryan Palmer.   Ho hum revisited though I guess the guy should be given credit for winning with a birdie at the last on a chip that stopped a foot from the hole after colliding with the flag stick.  Afterthought: Did anybody mention Michelle Wie this time around?  Whether or not she should have been given an invite?  Maybe this is the year she should have been out there competing with the guys.

-And Tiger?  Still no sighting of the world's best golfer.  Supposed to be a million dollar payout for any kind of photo of the man and his whereabouts.  You know I've got my camera, my tireless companion, at the ready if he should happen to come on to our little town here in southwestern Indiana.

-Lion boys got routed by the Barr Reeve Vikings last Saturday night.  Too bad they were so off their game in the first quarter.  I was up on top taking photos of this and that and enjoying the game as well.  Packed house.  Lots of neighbors in the stands sporting the colors of both the teams on the floor.

-Weather today is going to be good enough for golf: temps in the mid 40's, wind just a little bitty thing at 3 mph, and that from the south.  A little foggy but who cares about that.  I should be out there around noon if not a little sooner.
