The NY Giants (and '72 Dolphins) Win!

  • Congratulations to Bob Griese and the only team ever to go undefeated through an entire season, the1972 Miami Dolphins!
  • The casinos were handing out free cash yesterday on the Giants win.  Easy money.  You did have the G-men on the money line, right?
  • A friend picked the Giants in August at 38-1 to win the Super Bowl.   When we were up in Reno at the time, I thought....  Uh, no Tiki... Ain't gonna happen.  Hah!
  • Well, unlike the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the stock market is not celebrating the Giants win or Patriots loss today.  Back to reality today.  I can't remember where we left off before the Super Bowl.  Something about runaway inflation (PCE core at 2.2%) and everyone unable to make their monthly mortgage payments.  Does that about sum it up?
  • Is Microsoft buying Yahoo like Time Warner buying AOL?  Both AOL and Yahoo seem to be at similar points in their business model, where they're no longer industry leaders.  Just saying.
