>>>>>>>>>Assuming Percy Harvin is back, I will be impressed by Oklahoma if they can even keep it close. I think Florida is going to blow them out.

>>>>>Lots of news coming out of Illinois this week. Yesterday the Tribune filed for chapter 11, which was not completely shocking but still a surprise. (A buddy at the Trib says they could have made the $70 million payment that was due yesterday but decided filing for bankruptcy protection was a better way. Sam Zell has them so buried in debt they would be having a hard time even if they weren't in a dying industry and the economy wasn't in the toilet). Now today I see the feds have arrested Governor Blagojevich. Again, no great shock, because he has been as corrupt as any of his Republican predecessors and it had already been reported that the feds have some serious stuff on him. But arresting a sitting governor? You don't see that every day. I have a feeling it has something to do with the naming of Obama's successor as Senator. There have been rumblings that Gov. Rod has been doing the pay-to-play game with that as well, so I can understand the feds wanting to stop that from happening.
