***Note some rambling occurs but Butz please read my points about baseball at the bottom***

So last week I asked brown on some literature that would help introduce me to the market in general. He responded to my text, then I sent him my response back with the handle "shits for brains" and I did not hear back from him all week. It made me laugh at 7:30 am my time and 9:30 his, because I knew it probably grated him. The reason why I bring this up is because I really need to start getting into the market, I'm talking wall street baby. Butz you too. Why do you ask? Because all week I spend my extra brain cells trying to figure out my weekly picks and on a time to earning ratio my 10 dollars wagers are not putting me into another tax bracket.

But this is being done in preparatory fashion for the Vegas vacation. Where I will try and lay some big money on the line. Not as much as I did the last time we were there, but more than 10 dollars I can tell you that.

A few observations. The Colts and USC are over rated. Cal is going to finally punk USC at home this year and I am not just saying that cause I saw Radiohead play live on the Berkeley campus this year, although that did endear me to them for eternity.

The bears are pretty darn sick bear. Drew Bledsoe looked like he had a concussion in the second half today, bring in Romo. Also it is a strange observation that sports get me to cheer against a person like Mcnabb and for TO.


Major League Baseball is a fucking joke of a product. That worthless league plays 126 boring games for 32 teams. So what is that, 4032 games over 7 months. Then only 8 teams go on and the majority of the games are over in the first 6 days of the post season. Didn't the playoffs start on Wednesday and now every first round match is over with most of the games being played during the week while people are at work. I don't understand their logic and think they deserve to fall below hockey for second worst Major sports league in the US. In front of MLS of course with the WNBA only being recognized by Weiss as an actual major league.

NOTE: The only reason baseball has any value is that there is nothing on ESPN during the summer anyway AND drinking at the games during the day is fun. But I never care who wins. So is this because of the baseball or in spite of it just because I'm a burgeoning genetic alcoholic?
