Football, Baseball and Stuff
Just for Bayne.....below are the results of my Week 3 Football Picks. Ugh. It isn't pretty.
WINNERS ARE IN BOLD
NE
Buffalo - I lost my 15, tyvm
Denver
Tennessee - I won 12
Houston
New Orleans - I won 11
NYG
Philly - I lost 13
Miami
Cleveland - I won 7
Jacksonville
Carolina - I won 8
SF
Cincy - I lost 10
Jets
Oak - I lost 3
KC
San Diego - I won 16 *whew*
Balt
St. Louis - I won 9
Ari
Seattle - I won 2
Chicago
GB - I won 6
Atlanta
TB - I won 1
Pitt
Indy - I won 14
Dal
Wash - I won 5
For those keeping track I got 91 points out of a possible 136 and 11 winners out of 16. I know 11 out of 16 doesn't sound terrible but I lost a lot (ty duggle for that lesson on 'a lot') of my big numbers. I didn't even bother to add up Waffles total for the week yet but I know he has me beat. He hit a lot of his big numbers. The biatch.
Speaking of being beaten.....
The sox lost again last night and the yankees did too. The one time I wanted the yanks to win....it figures. This means that TB and the sox are now tied for the wild card race. This isn't good. The sox have zero momentum to help them through. Beckett pitched last night - we need to get wins when our ace is on the mound of they will be hanging up their cleats very soon. 2 games left of regular season.
While we're on the subject of baseball, The Phillies won last night, which was their 100th win of the season. Good for them I suppose. I'm not a major fan of the NL but 100 wins for Phillie is a rarity and should be mentioned. Last time it happened was in the 1870's. (okay it was the 1970's...whatevah)
Lastly, I need your opinion on something. I've been thinking about changing the look of this blog so it looks more like its content....so it looks more like a poker blog. My question to you is, do you think I should leave it just as it is or change it to something like
THIS
or
THIS
or
THAT
I wonder if the examples above look a little more professional that the blog you're reading here. Sugar Bear was insistent that I keep the good old original one. "Mom, you know I hate your blog but don't change it. I like the kind of purple color".
That's one person's opinion but he doesn't like change. Ever.
Although changing the template would probably ten years off my life but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it.
Play smart.

Isn't all that flash enticing though?
I have the feeling if you decide to change things I will be getting calls for weeks.. :).
I agree that none of the examples are perfect, but they show the general direction of where I was thinking of going.
And you'll help me! You said so yourself! :)
Go for it, but tone down some of the examples you showed is/
What is this "tone down" term you speak of? It's not part of my vocab but I'll try.....I mean Waffles will try. You don't think I'd be doing this myself do you?
