Saturday Sun and Fun: Sports Today and Yesterday

Picture: Sunrise this morning; picture taken using the 'sunrise' scene setting on the e410. Gold wash.

Notes to get a day started:

-Pacers lose 6th straight. Tinsley quoted as saying the team is laying eggs in the second half. Should these guys maybe change professions and get into the egg business? Or at least consider it as a lucrative thing to do on the side?

-John Feinstein in WAPO suggesting tough love with all the steroid athletes. With Bonds being indicted, Feinstein is saying that this is all good for baseball. His conclusion:

Which is all good. If you love baseball, Thursday was a day to celebrate. The sport's steroids nightmare isn't over, but the end is getting close. And no one in this saga should be pardoned -- not now, not ever.

My oh my. So does Bonds do a Pete Rose and deny for ten or fifteen years? Or a Marian Jones and make a public confession like tomorrow or even later today? My guess is he goes with the Rose pattern, tells baseball and the public to go stick themselves, then heads off to a hideaway for the rest of his days.

-Irish play Duke today. This is amazing:

GAME 11: NOTRE DAME (1-9) vs. DUKE (1-9)

Still hard to believe that the Irish are so bad this year. The two teams meet for the first time in forty years. Any bets the Duke youngsters (these guys really are very young) come out on top?

-Hoosiers and Boilermakers for the Oaken Bucket today in Bloomington. Winner expected to get a bowl bid. Hope Lewis in hot.

Heading to the golf course for a ten o'clock scramble.
