GOOD PRECEDENT: 2ND-HALF SUCCESS I was never good at deciphering and interpreting the past-performance hieroglyphics in the Daily Racing Form, but at least I figured out that it was probably smart to bet on proven stretch runners. In other words, fine finishers. That can be carried over to football and, specifically, to Pete Carroll’s teams…

Whoaaa… just got back from the Pizza Port… home of the some of the world’s best IPAs. In my half-drunken afternoon workday, wanted to let you know about the changes to the NEWS BY PLAYER (on your right). We finally slotted Cary Harris in (officially).

Keith Rivers overlooked? He’s already received Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Week this year, but the man who wears the number of Junior Seau (#55), Willie McGinest (#55), and Chris Claiborne (#55), has yet to reach that level of recognition.
