I'm having a hard time doing a Power Rankings from a quick glance. I think I like Airborne's team a lot, same for BMHH. I think if I had to bet i'd probably bet on BMHH's team.

Also like 4-6-3's team a lot which is a real bummer since he drafted right after me.

Only one team I would trade my team for without thought and that is BMHH. I actually really like BigMike's team a lot as well for late in the draft.

and Leon just beat me to my next joke.

I actually really like my team this year.

Which means I'm probably going to come in dead last instead of next to last.

If I went in on the pool for last weeks tournament I would have won with thirty points. That would have been my highest total for a week ever, and I'll bet I don't sniff that again this season.

Yep, although last year I went with the opposite approach and we saw how that worked out. I'd be happy to win 3 weeks (hopefully one of which is a major) and finish middle of the pack overall, which is a likely result I'd say.

Nothing like a WD to start the season! Thanks Pat Perez.

Hopefully it's not injury related. That'd be a shame after you nixed the injury add/drop proposal I had :)

All kidding aside, I thought he'd have a big year. He's on record as saying he was really loose and confident because last year he thought his career was over. Hopefully it's nothing major.

Nice to see my first round pick lighting it up for once in this league. Sergio with a 3 shot lead heading into the final round.

Oh wait, Dubai isn't the event that we're using this week? That's about right for my team. Back to the cellar.

Neither my first nor second round picks are playing but I am within shouting distance. This is a new feeling for me.

Edit: I was wrong. Reed is playing.

I noticed last week that a number of PGA touring pros would be well-served to hire a professional photographer for their profile picture.

About the nicest thing I can say about Andrew Loupe's picture is that he looks like a serial killer.
