Winky Dink..........

Today's plays: Atlanta run line, Phillies, and the Yankees run line.

On a non gaming related note, Bernie Madoff has suffered the ultimate insult. Its bad enough when your mistress is in her 60's (what a dope) but to make matters worse Sheryl Weinstein is spilling the beans on their long time affair. According to Weinstein, Bernies nickname was "Winky dinky" because of his shortcoming down below. Theres absolutely nothing else to add to this story until I resort to prison humor.

Today's lone sports birthday of interest is Barret Robbins, former Oakland Raiders offensive lineman. On the eve of the 2003 Superbowl, Robbins flew off the handle, went awol and was subsequently suspended for the game. Needless to say it was a major distraction for the team. Unfortunately I had a few dimes on the Raiders -3 (yes even though everyone knew Gruden had the Raiders playbook I chose to "think outside the box"). Rather than dwell on that bitter loss, I regrouped and knocked the Over 48.5 in the following weeks Pro Bowl Game. Moral of the story? No one likes a quitter!
