I just bought 14 tickets to any Blue Jay game. Price about 420 total = $30 a ticket. The retail price for the seats are $49 so if I do use them up I guess it’s worth the up front transaction. We already have 4 tickets going towards the Cubs/Jays game on June 14. Not… Read More »
Went to see the playoff hungry Bills (6-7) take on the lowly and history destined Dolphins (0-13) with my brother in law Joey. We loaded up the CRV with the Coleman, some propane, beer and jumbo hotdogs. Thermal socks, fleece and winter jackets as the temperature was expected to be a few degrees below freezing,… Read More »
First round of the playoffs and I’m ousted. My Fantasy Football team this year was much better than last and I still come up short. Granted I was a 2 point underdog to my opponent, and lo and behold, I lost by 2.5. But personally, I know the spread was wrong and that I should… Read More »
When I was in Vegas last May I bought a ticket from the NYNY Sporst Book: The Cleveland Indians to Win the 2007 American League Championship. The odds back then were 4.5 to 1. So I bought a $10.00 ticket. In fact it was the first of my many tickets I bought during my 3… Read More »

The Fantasy Football league starts this Thursday. Last Wednesday we ran through our mini-draft to flesh out our keeper teams. I.e. dropped four players and drafted 4 new players to my existing 16 man roster. I didn’t have much to decide this year since 2 of my players (Keyshawn Johnson and Jake Plummer) retired and… Read More »
This has been a fairly good season for me this time around. I’ve pulled off a lot of mid-70’s rounds that has lowered my handicap to 5. Thanks to the local tech league I’ve been able to manage to get out about once a week albeit mainly at the Conestoga CC. I’ve posted good scores… Read More »
So, I technically haven’t given up yet on my team. But desperate times call for desparate actions. Roger Clemens has come out of retirement and as a Yankee is an eligible free agent in the pool. Disgustingly he will be paid on average about $1,000,000 per outing! And the 44 year old will have the… Read More »
Blogging about the Jays game reminded me that I should say a few words about my ’07 AL fantasy team. Quite bluntly, I’m not happy with my team. The reason has more to do with the fact that I went completely against my auction strategy and ended up with a roster of players I would’ve… Read More »
Last night during the ‘real’ Super Bowl XLI in which Indianopolis finally won a title with Peyton Manning, there was supposed to be an award ceremony for the MMQB Football Fantasy Champion at one of the team owner’s place during half-time. Unfortunately I, the champion, was unable to attend due to late arrival home from… Read More »
