5-2 in BBall
We lost an OT heart breaker last week that would have put us in first place with the tie-breaker. This week we beat the other top team in the league and now control our own destiny for second place. No real prizes until the end of season tournament anyway.
On the poker front I've been playing mostly SnGs combined with PLO 6-max.
Vegas is finally less than two months away! I really need a break from all this snow.

Are the Lions Really the Worst?
The recent 0-16 (owen 16) success by the Detroit Lions prompted a conversation at work about how the Lions truly compare to other NFL franchises. Everyone knows they are bad, but are they really the worst NFL franchise? A decade was chosen as our arbitrary time period.
The yellow highlights are playoff seasons.
Now the god awful Raiders come out on the bottom. Thank goodness for Al Davis!
So here yo go:
The yellow highlights are playoff seasons.
No surprise that the Colts, Pats and Steelers are on top. The Lions are the worst with the Browns, Texans and Cardinals not far behind. The expansion team Texans are the only franchise without a playoff berth, but they have a 3 season handicap. The Lions, Browns and Cardinals have each only made the playoffs once in the last decade.
And for me the biggest surprise, the Buffalo Bills. Talk about pathetic mediocrity! They last made the playoffs 10 years ago. Didn't the play (and lose) in 4 Superbowls not too long ago? I guess that was a long time ago!
Now, if you slice things to a more recent last 5 years the picture changes some.
Now the god awful Raiders come out on the bottom. Thank goodness for Al Davis!
