Love handles don't help my putting and Upset Specials

Hi there. It's another Friday and that means "Opie's Upset Specials." Last week 1 for 2. Syracuse knocked off my boys from Piscataway on a last minute field goal and the Patriots won thumping the Steelers in the 'Burgh. As for this weeks, your college upset special has the Oregon State Beavers defeating the SoCal Trojans in LA and as for the pro, I'm liking the Broncos over the Chargers.
After watching the Giants/Cowboys mess (and boy was it a mess!) you'd think that after spending 1.6 BILLION dollars to build a new stadium the Giants and Jets could have hired a decent electrician to keep the lights on or the greatest groundskeeper to have a grass field instead of this pro-turf crap that is popping up everywhere.
I think its kind of neat that Yankee Stadium and Wrigley Field are hosting college football games this weekend.
I love this controversy over Bristol Palin on Dancing with the Stars. As long as the public gets to vote, you know the worst dancer won't always be kicked off the show. It's like when fans get to pick the All-Stars in baseball and basketball.
For a country that fought for its independence from a monarchy almost 240 years ago, why did NBC do an hour long special on its "Dateline" show about the engagement of Prince William?
This week sign of the apocalypse. Schools are banning cupcakes from being brought into class when a kid celebrates his or her birthday. It promotes childhood obesity. Childhood obesity is caused by parents who don't tell their kids to go outside and make them run around and play instead of being on cell phones or playing video games. It's also caused by lack of portion control, and the convenience of eating at a fast food restaurants a majority of the time. We love to blame everyone and everything for what's wrong with kids. It starts with the parents.
Finally a quick thought on some news from the PGA tour. First Eldrick the gimp is now on Twitter. Also some thoughts from John Daly who had surgery to lose weight. He blames his new found skinniness on his putting troubles, claiming the love handles gave him a spot to put his elbows which helped his putting. Funny, no matter what weight I've been at, my putting has never been affected. It just sucks whether I'm skinny or a few pounds over...Leccese out.
