I know two teams that would love a redo of the last ten seconds of their games yesterday: The Loogootee Lions and the New Orleans Saints. Each managed to lose their games, the Lions to the Vikings after an errant in-bounds pass and then a missed lay-up, 50-47, and the Saints to the resurgent 49'ers who got a touchdown, 36-32, in the final ten seconds. That made me zero and two in my weekend predictions. Fortunately, the third of the Saturday picks was a winner: New England with a near perfect Tom Brady, completely dominated Denver and a befuddled Tim Tebow, 45-10. That was not surprising - Denver managed just an 8 and 8 record during the regular season. Note 1: Bryant Ackerman's floor length desperation shot as time expired in the Lion-Viking game nearly went in, bouncing off the rim. Nice try, Bryant, and, btw, nice game - 22 points and stellar all around performance.
Today, more football with my picks being the Packers over the Giants (would rather have the Giants win) and the Ravens over the Texans. In basketball, IU is in Columbus taking on the Buckeyes who are looking for revenge. IU needs to win after losing to Minnesota a couple of days ago.
Tomorrow we might just see the return of weather appropriate for golf, at least for some of us. Maybe not.
Last night Karry Stoll was telling me about electronic golf down in Ferdinand. Some enterprising individual had purchased (for $75000) an electronic golf game where you can play one of dozens of courses virtually. Says they even have leagues formed and up and running. Guess it's one way of getting out of the house.
Going to turn on the pregame and then watch some football.
