Bears lose Bears lose but did the Packers win?

Couple things about The Game last night.

1. I placed a $10 bet on The Packers to cover +3, reason was with SO MANY people betting Da Bears - like EVERYBODY I knew and the line was not moving.  So - if 75% of the bets goign into the books were on Da Bears why is the line not moving with everybody betting Bears?  Because the big smart money was on the Packers.   BOOYA!

2.  A tweet. -  3rd and 40 is what happens when you forget to press pause on Madden and u get 8 delay of game penalties when ur mom makes u take the garbage out

3.  anybody catch the hot mic moment of the game?  "“I never had my butt fingered”.  LOL  it was on one of the Packer punts!

4. It's been really fun reading the Tribune this morning.

5. Packers at the moment have the #1 defense in the league.

6. Dan Patrick, Thursday morning, said The Packers would win the division. One down, 15 to go.

7. Ratings for the game were way way up +15% from last years Eagles/Falcons game. In fact one of the highest rated opening games in a long time. WEIRD.  I was expecting the opposite. 

7. The Brewers . . . . . . .

We have our final golf outing golf for league this weekend with a new rule.

And yea -  we are suppose to have intermittent showers this weekend starting Sunday and continuing through  . . . .well . . . . .all week.

And if you want to talk about a great company doing bad things.  HB studios who created The Golf Club the #1 virtual golf game/sim deleted all instances of Augusta and Magnolia which is bad enough but they did it overnight a couple weeks ago and have not said one word on why (we all know why) or even acknowledged it happened PLUS they delete every post in their forum that speaks of it.

Then there is vaping.  Nobody who has done ANY research is really surprised.  The weed forums have been talking about this for years and Organic cannabis shops advertise their vape oils do not contain the cutting agents typically used in most places because of the dangers.

You get what you pay for.  I tried vaping in Denver - it was OK but it really felt like you are inhaling oil and fat into my lungs.

Brexit - you think America is FUBR in politics?   Well - the Donald Trump of the UK is having issues and is forcing a election after his bid to get the UK out of teh European Union.  WHAT?  What kind of an election I asked?

IT SEEMS -    In the British parliamentary system, the Prime Minister can call a general election for Parliament if he gets two-thirds of the members of Parliament to agree. This is in addition to the regularly scheduled, every-five-years elections. This only happens with the PM believes he has lost the confidence of his own party.

Some PMs will just step down, and allow someone else to become PM. But in many cases, the PM argues that it's the public which has lost confidence in the party. Holding a snap election is the only way to ensure that the public still supports the party-in-power. That's what Johnson wants. The Tories (conservatives) alone don't have the votes to call a snap election. The Tories need the support of Labour (center/left) and/or the Liberal Democrats, and neither party says it wants a snap election.

This is like if the American Senate decided it did not like Trump and they could just dump him and put someone of their choice into office (but would need a 2/3 vote).

Remember - in the UK you vote for a party and the party decides who will be the "President".

WEATHER - actually I doubt it will rain Sunday but it will be cool.   Next week does look like a LOT of showers and scattered thunderstorms with Tuesday and Wednesday about 80 before cooling off to the low 70s.
