7-2 in the 6th, 7-9 after the 7th... what is this bs.Comment -
That game was absolutely painful. Sorry Nunya (and anyone else who tailed). I think that bet clears 9/10... but it sure didn't happen today. Whoever was talking about the lows being so much worse than the highs was right on the money. This sucks balls.Comment -
That's penetrating baseball man, that's the way it always seems to go. I can think of 20 times where I've had a team that was a -2000 favorite to win, somehow get destroyed in the last couple innings, but don't recall it EVER working out the other way for me.
You'll get em next time.Comment -
That's the bitch of it, right? We all understand and accept the concept of variance, bad beats, etc. but it only seems to go one way... and that truly puzzles ( and obviously irritates) me.Comment -

What’s Ahead for Rory:
With Rory’s run of success every poor round is apt to be magnified beyond proportions. Even great players play poorly some days. Rory’s expected to have a round as bad as Thursday’s only around once every 25 rounds, so this is likely as poor as we’re apt to see him play for awhile. What’s important isn’t really this round, but how he’s had success so far this year. Rory emerged as a star and won his first two majors in 2011 and 2012 while being wholly dependent on his driver/irons for success. He was the best in the world on those long shots in 2011-12, while his putting was average or a bit worse. Last year, his driving was wild and he lost a lot his long game that had made him great. This year, the driving is as good as ever and his irons are great, but what’s really different is his success with the putter. He’s jumped to 21st on Tour in putting, gaining about half a stroke from putting compared to the last few seasons. Over this latest run of wins his putter has been nuclear hot (+1.20 strokes vs. the field). That’s been enough to take him from one of a group of 3-4 elite players to the best in the world.
The problem is putting is hugely random. Players putt well above their talent level for months and then regress. Up until July, McIlroy had putted at +0.16 strokes gained for the season and slightly below average for his career. Since then he’s at +1.20 strokes gained. This post deals with the small sample randomness involved with putting; nothing McIlroy is doing on the greens indicates to me that he’s going to sustain the level of putting that won him two majors in the last month. When his putting returns to his career norms, he’ll still be the best player in the world, but as more of a 1A to Sergio, Adam Scott, and Justin Rose than the next Tiger/Jack that he’s been made out as the last few weeks. His long game (driving/approach shots) is the best in the world largely because he’s in another universe off the tee. When Tiger was dominant for a decade he combined the best long game in the world with top ten putting; nothing Rory has done shows that he’s capable of putting that well for the long haul.
McIlroy’s Strokes Gained per Shot Link tournament since 2011. His putting surge in the last few months is obvious.Comment -

carolina panthers over 44.5 sacks -115 @ BOLComment -
Wow, love that Forte bet. Also like every possible Brees over Manning prop.. Brees +4.5 tds -135 vs Peyton Manning.. Manning has toughest schedule vs pass defenses this year where as last year he had the easiest. Also Peyton won't be running up the score at the end of games going for the record. The Broncos will pound the rock and play defense like John Fox prefers.. Bree's has the 2nd easiest schedule vs pass defenses this year.Comment -
