Upset Specials and more raking the yard

Hi there. Another rainy Friday and we kick off another compelling edition with, "Opie's Upset Specials!" We are on scary good roll having won 7 of 8 and are now 9 and 10 at the midway point of the year. Well we'll be going over the .500 mark with these two picks. College upset special first. Take the LSU Tigers over the Crimson Tide of Alabama. For the pro, the Buffalo Bills have been this close to knocking off the Chiefs and Ravens the last two weeks and I like the Bills to get there first win over Da Bears in Toronto.
Other things. We start off with politics where our new Governor elects' girl friend is that smokin' hot Martha Stewart wannabe Sandra Lee. I can see it now. Coming to the Food Network it's, "A Semi-Homemade Inaugural Ball."
I'm not making this up. A guy in Nebraska dressed as a breathalyzer machine for Halloween gets busted for driving under the influence.
Here's another good one. Victor Gradowski is being inducted into White Castle's "Cravers Hall of Fame." He achieved this dubious honor by eating at the restaurant every Friday for 4 straight years. Nice to know he set his sights high.
Got to love the city council in San Francisco. They've passed a law banning toys from being included in kids meals that are considered not nutritious. You want to know why people aren't voting? That's why. Instead of working to solve real problems like crime, budget deficits, improving education and infrastructure, our lawmakers are passing legislation banning Happy Meals. Are cracker jacks included in this law, because its a coated popcorn and peanut snack that includes a surprise for kids!
Had a McRib the other day. Still holding out hope that someday the fried apple pie will make a breif comeback too.
With no hockey or high school football this weekend, got to finish raking those leaves and white pine needles. Remember to turn back the clocks before you go to bed Saturday night and "Adopt a Child" kicks off Monday...Leccese out.
