Not clutch.

Glad you won! I'll probably be scalin back the volume for the playoffs, since I never feel too confident on short slates, but we'll see how I feel about my lineup once the weekend rolls around.   Af

At the Pens practice facility and Rick Tochett ends up standing next to me. It took every ounce of self control to not engage him in a conversation about the Rick Tochett Experience.

World cup bad beat times 2...I bet Spain to score over 2.5 goals..Its bad enough that they had a bazillion chances and dominated the game, but at the score being 2-0 David Villa misses a penalty shot that would of won me the bet...He missed the net...This is David Villa, one of the top goal scorers in the world.To make matters worse, I bet David Villa to score the most goals in the tourney before the tourney started...That extra goal might be the difference..FU Villa

I'm an idiot. I thought Wimbledome was the US Open, so I picked Andy Roddick because I thought he would do well playing in the USA. Now, I find out it's in Wimbledome, which isn't the USA, it's in Britain, or Great Britain, or England, or Ollie, whatever you call it. BAHGFH$@$H@. Then to make matters worse, I meant to be $10, but I misclicked and bet $100. So now I have Andy Roddick to win Wimbledome @ 20-1. F*CK ME!!!!!

Another bad beat - Federer getting knocked out would have significantly improved your chances.

My buddies and I were at a bar after work and Around the Horn was on. We drew numbers in relation to where the columnist was sitting from left to right. We each threw in $10. My buddy got Jay Mariotti who I wanted, and I got Woody Paige (my second fav). It came down to the wire, and Woody won on a really stupid argument about the way to hold a ball. Funniest thing ever. It was fun. So I won $30, brag post yes. It reminded me of all the degenerate bets when we were in Toronto. Ahhh the days.

as degenrate as it sounds, we also started a keeper league for around the horn. we had a snake draft, and we each got 4. i originally had woody paige, jackie mcmullan, bill plashke, and jemele hill. I hate the last 3 with a passion tho, so i convinced my friend to trade all 3 for ja adande to bring some colour to my team. so my ATH fantasy team is...Woody PaigeJA AdandeBasically every episode, if you're guy makes an appearance, you get 1 point, and for the victory you get 5. I feel good about this. Except for the fact, that I only have two people. While most people have 4, and one guy has 6.

QUeens plate horse racing, degen style.... -Every time the queen has attended the queen's plate in person, the #3 horse has won. the three horse this year is 'D's Wando' at 20-1- Curtis Joseph had one of his horses sneak in at the last minute as a late entry. The horse's name is 'Moment of Majesty' and is 12-1. With majesty in the name??SOOOOOOooo...... $20 on each one to win, and I'm going to box a $20 exactor. GO, gluebags!

I was pulling for you on those bets. I use to hit the track every weekend during my younger days.

Only guys I have anywhere near the lead are Villegas at 70-1, and Lowry at 150-1, both shot 68s.I'm gonna wait until tomorrow is done, and these afternoon guys get to play in the morning weather, and see if they get lucky enough to have a windless round too; and wait for McIlroy and Woods to tackle a windy course in their afternoon rounds.

If it is really simple, little to no money involved...I'll be in. If it is keeper, I won't because I won't be competitive.
