Like an idiot

I put my money on Denver when the odds were lower. I got 15-1 for the AFC championship (now 22-1) and 30-1 for the Super Bowl (now 50-1). One other wager sportsbook offers is total number of wins for the season. Denver is set at 7.5, but surprisingly as the payoff for Denver winning the division, conference or super bowl have gotten higher, the payoff for them winning more than 7.5 has gotten lower. Used to be you had to bet $1.50 to win a dollar and now it is up to $1.65. (Not a huge difference, but it runs counter to the other trends and I was really hoping it would drop since Denver going at least 8-8 seems like a sure thing to me)

On the brighter side, I put money on the Saints at 14-1 and 40-1 odds respectively before they dropped to 9-1 and 25-1

It happens when I am entering a link on the new story....

for some reason the link never goes where i have my cursor (it ends up at the top of the entry) and i have to cut and paste the link. Sometimes it comes out purple and underlined. By no means is it intentional or give preference for one story over the other.

fader nation is a conquered nation

The creator of the following names:

conquered fader nation
Phyllis and his merry men

yeah

the ones that are underlined have a span tag around them, I would guess that is somehow added by the editor in the cut and paste

Sorry, posted too soon. Was going to add that if you have access to the stylesheet you could probably add a rule to mask that problem.

Sputtering News

I was reading the Sporting News’ List of the top 25 LB in the NFL and DJ Williams didn’t even make the wait until next year list. Yeesh. They did list a Bronco as the #3 center in the league, but it was Ben Hamilton, not Tom Nalen. Did I miss something?
