Now Putting for $1500
This morning on ESPN2 they were showing some sort of miniature golf championship. The "athletes" were dressed just as absurdly as real golfers, and the announcers spoke in hushed tones like we were witnessing history or something, but the fans were typical Florida yahoos. One guy weighed at least 300 pounds and was wearing only a speedo, which you could barely see thanks to his stomach. Ouch.
College Football season is over except for the annual Cavalcade of Meaningless Bowl Games, the NFL moves to Saturdays in order to garner more nationally-televised games. Here are my picks for tomorrow's games:
ATL at TB: Somehow Tampa is not yet mathematically eliminated from the playoffs, although they need lots of help to get in. Their first bit of help is that they are scheduled to play the Falcons. TB
KC at MIN: Something about this game scares me, whether its the fact that Minnesota has the potential to score a lot of points or that both teams have no defense to speak of. But what worries me the most if I were KC is that the Pats are living a charmed life right now, and a KC loss would all but clinch homefield advantage for the Patriots. MIN
NE at NYJ: Speaking of, here's the aforementioned luckiest team that ever was. They are approaching the Super Bowl season of 2001 wherein at one point they fumbled away the ball in overtime and would have lost the game except the refs ruled that David Patten was simultaneously touching the ball and the sideline at the same time and therefore the ball was out of bounds. Patten was lying unconcious on the field at the time. NE
