Asked how Bronco could make wine that was at one point less expensive than a bottle of water, his company noted in its death announcement, Mr. Franzia replied: “They’re overcharging for the water — don’t you get it?”

Washington Post – Mark –  Fred Franzia, the mastermind behind Two Buck Chuck wine, dies at 79

Sal says that next time you’re even thinking of buying bottled water remember that Evian spelled backwards is naive.

Sal says that if Past The Wire’s Stettin never questioned the disappearance of this horse it would have been swept under the rug.

Horse fax was what I came up with. Imagine every racehorse having a record accessible by bettors, breeders, owners, and trainers, even buyers containing all pertinent information including but not limited to medical records and treatment. We all know Flightline has something that keeps his schedule of racing very light by any standard. He will go to stud with a fee of probably 150-200K a mare. Will we or the owner of the mare know more than the farm is willing “to tell us”? Probably not but if I had a mare and was going to breed to any stallion with known issues or suspected issues I would want to know exactly what they were. Horse fax, you get that HISA?

Scheifele said he did not volunteer to take over the captaincy, as he has too much respect for Wheeler.

Sportsnet – Fox – Jets’ Scheifele ‘shocked’ to see Wheeler’s captaincy stripped

Sal says that the NFL Jets are fucked and the NHL Jets are striving to join them. Trots refused to come and coach the NHL Jets and their second choice just showed a remarkable lack of tact and respect in the manner that he handled the stripping of the captaincy from Blake Wheeler.

SportsNet – Hackett says Broncos ‘definitely should have gone for it’ after long FG attempt vs. Seahawks

Sal says this Hackett doesn’t seem to be head coach material. His team looked ill-prepared, they took a number of bad penalties and then he admits that he made a mistake on his team’s last play of the game. Sal  calls bullshit. If Hackett had elected to call another play and the Broncos didn’t get a first down today Hackett would be saying that they should have tried the long field goal. If you’re making the big bucks that NFL coaches are making earn them and stick by your decisions.

More is lost by indecision than by wrong decision.

Sal says that the best thing about the fall is that the NFL, NHL and NBA start playing games and the scribes and talking heads can write and talk about games instead of contracts.
