Best of luck to one of my favorite EOG contributors.

I respect BOMZEE for so many reasons.

He's a demon table tennis player, an MLB devotee and an all-around good guy.

He not only tells a funny story, but he also appreciates a funny line.

One of my favorite exchanges with BOMZEE came years ago when I unwisely edited one of his posts.

The conservative BOMZEE wrote about one of his least-favorite occupants in the White House, Barack Obama.

BOMZEE spelled Barack's last name, obama.

I did a double-take when I saw "obama" so I used my EOG moderating privileges to subtly capitalize the "o" in Obama.

BOMZEE immediately spotted my handy work and sent a text message to my cell phone.

"Please don't edit my posts," wrote BOMZEE.

Seconds later, I once again edited BOMZEE's contribution, this time returning the post to its original form.

Using a lowercase letter for the first letter of the former president's last name was intended as a show of disrespect.

Okay.

Lesson learned.

Ummm. If that means you don’t want me to die, I’ll take it.

Good luck. Handicapping is something that you and I have never argued about.

I always root for the player in this contest. I’ll treat this one the same as the others

I look at the play and if I like it I play along. Same as always silently though.

I like this contest too much to get tagged a jinx so I just never say anything and root for the player.

In the world of 11 to 10...along comes Mr. 9% to take on the Challenge. (99-906 in Best Bets)

What could possibly go wrong?

Sometimes the gods just open a bag of money and pour it all over you.

Enjoy the holiday season, fellas!

With the Dude under the spotlight this month, you can expect the following:

1. There will be a lot of "fixed" games. (This is the sports equivalent of political conspiracy theories)

2. Many players on many teams will have their names being taken in vain.

3. A number of excruciatingly bad beats will result in a torrent of profanity and victimhood.

4. A bonanza for contrarians who know how to manage their money.

My strategy is 1 play 1 Jason Day but if I fall behind, will go to college football so I can pretend to keep thread relevant until the end of the month. I've won 15 in a row and lost 30 in a row. Could go either way.
