A bunker mentality.(Caught On The Fly)(observations about sports and athletes)
When it comes to handicapping, Phil Mickelson seems to always hit the green. After all, the PGA golfer famously, and correctly, picked the long-shot Ravens to win the Super Bowl before the 2000 season. That resulted in a six-figure payoff.
Then, before the 2001 baseball season, he went with the dark-horse Diamondbacks and they pulled through, too. So who does Mick like to come out of the AFC for 2003? The Bills. Huh, who would have thought that he'd take such a liking to a team known for not winning the big one?
It wasn't the Golden rule, after all
College football has eliminated the "halo rule," meaning punt returners now have to call for a fair catch if they don't want to get hit. Before, the kicking team was penalized if a player came within 2 yards of a returner before he caught the ball. Wow, and Fly thought the "halo rule" was the term used for the NCAA allowing Notre Dame to follow different standards than every other college football program.
