Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Does anyone remember how before the season started many talking heads were touting Notre Dame as having perhaps the best running back tandem in the country? Now you hear the same people talking about how big a weakness the Irish's offensive line is while never mentioning the running backs. Nobody knows nothing... Still say that Memento Mori would be a great name for a life insurance company... Little known fact but Pittsburgh's "sister city" is Wuhan, China. Just another reason to dislike the Steelers... Tactical Empathy would be a good name for a band of divorced guys who do nothing but cover soft rock love songs while trying to meet women... Fascinated by Phil Steele's college football Vegas Power Rankings. It is very accurate regarding what the game spreads actually are (or could be). For example Cincinnati vs Notre Dame - Cincinnati is 3 points higher than the Fighting Irish and the line is Bearcats -1.5 (because the game is in South Bend not a neutral field). Meanwhile Ohio State is ranked 16.5 points higher than Rutgers but line is 14.5 because the game is in New Jersey. Maybe it's just me...  If Professor Hulk was real - think about how awesome he'd be at golf! Bruce Banner could instantly do the physics calculations on any shot and the Hulk would have the strength to easily drive the green on any par five. The US would never lose a Ryder Cup with him on the team. USA! USA! USA!...

    Would Gamma rays be considered performance enhancing?

  2. Bill - this question has really puzzled me much more than it should have. We get normal exposure to certain levels of Gammma so it would have to be elevated levels that are tested for. Like how athletes are tested for elevated levels of testosterone.

    Know you meant it as a joke but I really ended up thinking about it. :)
