    The only thing that has changed is the amount of candidates to choose from. The Playoff Committee will still choose 4 teams using their eyeball test. 

    So Finebaum can argue the playoff should be Bama, LSU, Georgia and Clemson (if not Florida)

    I'm all for Nebraska coming back, but it has to be permanent, they have to take a partial cut for awhile, and they need to erect a statue of Bevo sodomizing Tom Osborne in front of Memorial Stadium.

    You should hire someone to negotiate for the B12, because like The Ransom of Red Chief, I think you could get the B1G Ten to pay you to take them back.

    My Wally Fairway Reverse Index Fund is kicking ass right now.

    I figured someone on surly had to be on the other side of my trades; congrats to you and your early retirement

    Playing the decline - bought some 8/17 $324 SPY puts, and 9/4 $300 puts - both were priced jut above $1.
    Not a lot, but more than a hedge - so lets see if the afternoon volatility continues????

    To #Stonk or Not To #Stonk - that is the question

    looks like I once again just fucking nailed the timing of these "investments"

  5. Old dude - 77 year old stabbing victim passed away over the weekend

    Quote

    A Lansing man who was stabbed at a Quality Dairy store last month during a dispute over face masks has died, his son said. 

    John Duncan III, 77, was in critical condition after being stabbed July 14 by a man who refused to wear a mask inside the Quality Dairy store at Lansing Road and North Canal Road, police said. 

    Duncan died Saturday, his son, Jeff Blastic, said. 

    Duncan was in the QD just before 7 a.m. July 14 when Sean Ruis, 43, of Grand Ledge, was confronted by an employee about not wearing a mask, Michigan State Police Lt. Brian Oleksyk said. July 14 was the second day of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's mandate that masks be worn inside businesses.

  7. Wyndham Championship this week, last event to get into the Fed Ex playoffs; yes I had to look it all up because of the screwy season that is COVID PGA 2020

    Next week (8/20-23) is playoff week 1 - Northern Trust @ TPC Boston, field is the top 125 players in FedEx points
    Then (8/27-30) it is the BMW Championship @ Olympia Fields (Chicago)
    Finally (9/4-7) Tour Championship @ East Lake (Atlanta) (still doing that "stupid" handicap system - WF opinion) $15 million to the winner

    Players 120-130 in FedEx (on the cusp of falling out or making it into the Northern Trust
    120 Tom Lewis
    121 Si Woo Kim
    122 Fabian Gomez
    123 Bo Hoag
    124 Russell Knox
    125 Charl Schwartzel
    126 Bronson Burgoon
    127 Charles Sieffert
    128 Zach Johnson
    129 Kyle Stanley 
    130 Shane Lowry

    others of note that need to play well to get into the playoffs
    134  Sergio
    135  Jhonny Vegas
    179  Furyk (too bad his Sr Tour win didn't count towards FedEx points)
    191  Francesco Molinari

    Jordan is at 94 - so he need to do something in the next couple of weeks to play in the BMW....and let's not even consider East Lake

    I bought some puts on MGM a few weeks ago while I was drunk that expire this Friday , so that's probably it

    There is nothing worse the realizing that I've bought options while drunk, and I'm sure it was a great idea when I pushed that "Place this Trade" button. YOLO

    Preacher Boy, the instantiation of the original SSSQ on v.1 of this site.  I do wonder whatever became of him.

    I think he's out of the preacher business. His old church is about 5 miles from where I work & he isn't listed as being there, or any other local church; though he's still affiliated with a local soccer program
