Bits and Pieces

-Colts lose another.  Payton continues to throw interceptions.  People wondering if the Colts have had it - the good years are over and gone.  Still can get into the playoffs if they win out (tks, David) but what are the chances of that happening?  (Coming up in a few weeks will be the one year anniversary of the lets-rest-the-starters-and-get-them-healthy game.  You remember, the day the perfect season was thrown away.  Here's hoping the consequent curse is far shorter than the one the Red Sox had to live with after trading away Babe Ruth back in 1918 - the so called Curse of the Bambino, one that lasted 86 years.  Note: Saw Fever Pitch up at Marty's in Indy Saturday night.  Note 2: What curse are the Cubbies living under?) 

-McDowell and Woods traded punches over the last several holes yesterday.  That double bogey by Tiger at #13 was a killer but McDowell sure showed that he was a world class golfer with the bogey at #17 - could have been a two or three stroke turn there but McDowell did a little magic with a pitch and then a putt that got him a bogey; and then his two 20 something putts at #18 to tie and then beat Tiger on the first playoff hole.  Tiger played well, kinda; McDowell played five strokes better.

-From lpga.com, wrap up of last week's tournament and the awards for the season.  Big winners: Hjorth (the tournament), Tseng (Player of the Year), Choi (Vare Trophy for low average and money list).

-Time for breakfast on a cold and wintry Monday.
