Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If I had a Hall of Fame vote - I'd vote for Rickey Henderson, Jim Rice and Andre Dawson.... Terence Stamp (probably best remembered as Sir Larry Wildman in the movie Wall Street) has a brother Chris who was a long time manager of the rock band The Who... Not for nothing but if you just bet the underdogs in all of the bowl games to date - you'd have 18 wins vs 14 losses. Put another way - if you bet $100 per game you'd be up $260 if you factor in the "vig." This doesn't include Notre Dame which opened as a 1.5 point underdog but was a 1.5 point favorite on the day of the game... 1475 days til the end of the Obama Presidency but just 89 til Opening Day in baseball... No actor looks worse running than Liam Neeson. Seriously - he runs like he's trying to hold in a crap... Everyone is talking about how tonight's GMAC Bowl is going to a shootout but I don't know. The over/under right now is 73 points. I may not touch this game at all but if were to place a small wager - it would probably be on the under (just a feeling)...
