ROI Results 2/2 @ Gulfstream

[Real Quiet]

Well, that was an ugly day of handicapping. Pretty interesting races but no player could show a
profit on the Gulfstream card and for the second time this year no ROI winner. If not for Cruzan
hitting a winner in race 8 our group would have got "skunked". Ruffian made a serious bid on a
three peat with Fortune's Fool in the 7th but fell a half length shy to Who's In Charge. As a result
it wasn't Ruff. Cal tried the Super Hi 5 in the Holy Bull and with Harvey Wallbanger and the longshot
Everfast finishing 1-2 it was not to be. $32,000 was bet in the pool and it was all rolled over with
no winners. Joly B was also stymied by the racing buffalo (I have his Wild Ride jockey card in my
collection) and Don played Harvey but only in the number two slot. Overall 2019 hasn't been kind
to our ROI with only Roamin still showing a profit. Tom....I truly believe your Saints would have put
up more than 3 points on the Patriots. Following are the unofficial results pending any objections.
Come on Don. Send us where we can pick some winners. And less we forget the big event yesterday
congrats to the 2019 Kitten Bowl winning team The Little Longtails on thier 35-32
Super Bowl Day win.

Super High 5 is probably overly ambitious(a nice way of saying foolish) just about anytime, but especially so with 3 year old horses this time of year that have little established form. I may give it a shot again later with some older horses or even the 3 year olds when they have had more races.

Real Quiet(Pete). to be honest I missed the entry time for the ROI. but it did not matter, my choice lost anyway. As for the Saints , without a doubt they would have scored more than 3 points. Worst Super I ever witnessed. Take care, Roamin

It was hard to find something to appreciate about that game, but I think you have to give it up to both quarterbacks. Most of what they were both doing was not working and it looked like they both were taking a terrific beating. I think I was taken aback somewhat by Brady saying he wants to come back for more. I'm sure he is not a small guy, but on some of those plays, they were tossing him around like a rag doll. Even if I needed the money which I am sure he doesn't I think I'd have to think long and hard about taking that kind of beating on a regular basis. I'm not sure what the appropriate terminology is for that. Maybe footballcide or gridironcide. or maybe just death by football.

Other than the two quarterbacks, I was impressed by the Pats receiver, Edelman. That guy has more moves than MC Hammer.

D-E-F-E-N-C-E (how the signs read) wins championships and both teams has tremendous D the whole game. We were all just waiting for the "Brady Bunch" to put it in the end zone thanks to GRONK and the little bearded wonder MVP.

I'm sure you all know I could give a Shick about the Superlative Patriots Bowl. Defense was king for my Clemson Tigers in my real Super Bowl against the mighty Low TIDE . . . and BTW we have a pretty FREAKING good offense too and it will remain for a number of more years.

If you allow me, I can add that the sportsmanship of the Alabama players may be indicative of what they may be "taught" (???) by their coaches and "teachers". All I've heard from the Bama players are excuses about there focus and they were mentally tired and they made too many mistakes and they played their worst game and so on and so on about themselves. Never once have I read or heard (via ESPN or Youtube) them giving the slightest, the slightest hint of a compliment to how well Clemson played and how they shut them down in their "big time" run game and how the O-line protected their freshman Phenom QB and took big time advantage of their D-backs with amazing freshman and sophomore receivers.

Pathetic sour grapes. Sure they were bummed out by being thrashed by a much superior team, they were out played in every aspect of the game and out coached as well. If the "Tide" was turned I guarantee the Clemson players comments would be 180 degrees opposite. Much to do about Dabo and his elite staff (teachers).

I could go on and on about this but won't since few here care less. But it's about sportsmanship in winning or losing. Clemson not only is #1 in the sport but more importantly #1 in sportsmanship.

Signing off on my soap box as a PROUD CLEMSON TIGER in many ways!!! And I promise that I will try to wait until next August to say any more about Clemson . . . but I said "try".

Don't hold anything back Don. Just tell us how you feel. Really, I had no dog in the Super Bowl fight. Last year, I didn't even turn the game on until the waning minutes. You feel like it's almost un-American to not watch it, but I could have missed it this year and not lost any sleep over it. I watched it for a lot of years even going back further than the Super Bowl to the Packers/Cowboys games when Tom Landry and Vince Lombardi were the coaches, but in recent years, I haven't been all that interested. Congrats on your Clemson Tigers win.
