Monday Musings

It's Monday... and I'll look like this cat in an hour or so.

• Comedians Tom Papa & Pete Lee are hilarious. It was an unexpected, but pleasant surprise to see Pete Lee a second time (first time in Vegas; live taping of Last Comic Standing). It makes a big difference to give these guys 20 minutes to complete their jokes instead of three minutes.
• Ohio State's basketball team beat a solid Notre Dame basketball team on a neutral court (in Indianapolis). Evan Turner is going to have a break-out year on offense and defense. Diebler looks more comfortable finally draining some 3's and making the extra pass... I think we're going to keep surprising people especially in the Big Ten. Michigan apparently wants some love too after beating the Dukies!
• My fantasy football team had a decent weekend, but I'm falling behind in the points race. Thanks to the Bye-week, I'm looking ahead to Week 15... P.Manning & Wayne v. Detroit is the only cupcake match-up I can see on the schedule. This might not turn out well...
  
• Florida beat the spread. Those guys in Vegas know what they're doing... I'm really sick of Tim Te-blow. As Peyton Manning is quoted as saying, I hope Te-blow "...enjoys playing fullback in the NFL...".
  
• BCS: Oklahoma v. Florida - WRONG! Texas should be in this game. Florida is going to win by double-digits. Penn State v. USC in the Rose Bowl - when is this game not going to be played in USC's back-yard? Should be a good one. Utah v. Alabama in the Sugar - should be a one-sided affair to prove that Utah didn't belong (just like Hawaii last year v. Georgia). Ohio State v. Texas in the Fiesta Bowl - I think OSU can give Texas fits on both sides of the ball considering the number of points Texas has given up this season. Hopefully Pryor will give Mack Brown nightmares of VY... Cincinnati vs. Virginia Techzzzzzzzz... Huh? Sorry, I started nodding off there...

The economy & market still sucks.
