Happy Thanksgiving

Happy turkey day to all of you....

2 quick notes:

1) The Tribe let Bobby Howry go. Argh. We will miss him in 2006 more than Bob Wickman (it looks likethe Tribe won't resign him and will go after B J Ryan instead). Geesh, did we not learn the lessons of 2004?

2) Had the hardest test of the year yesterday - the annual eye exam. I swear, I'm deathly afraid of that - if I incorrectly answer any of those "1..... or 2?" questions, then my vision is screwed up for the year. This makes a difference in two key areas of my life:
a) at the craps table, when I try to beat the dealer in making the call for the roll. It's nice to get the dirty looks from the dealers when you yell "Point! 8!" before the dealers can;
b) and at the golf course. If I get the wrong contacts, then I won't be able to make any 15 foot sidehill breakers the whole year. This conversation will occur multiple times:
Eric: "How'd that putt go left? I had it breaking 3 inches from left to right"
Don: "Dude, you need to get your eyes checked"

I got a new prescription... we will see....

Picks for today:
Atl 27, Det 13: This is the perfect time to switch sides and go with the Falcons. We had a good ride goign against them - they are too good to continue to play this bad. This is equaivalent to two hot rolls on the craps table - it's the perfect time to switch to the "don't" side.

(can you tell I played craps yesterday?)

Dal 20, Den 17. This should be a great game. On my fantasy team, I have Plummer (since Bulger is now out for the year) and Dallas's defense. I fell like I can't do too bad.

3 best bets:
Atl -3
Dal +2.5
Dal/Den Under 41 1/2
