The Amazing Tom House

Article: the remarkable life of former Braves reliever Tom House. Pitched at USC with Tom Seaver. Fast friends with Dusty Baker in Atlanta, where House caught Hank Aaron’s 715th home run. Nolan Ryan’s pitching coach.

Instructed Tom Brady on throwing mechanics. Also rumored to have been an extra in the sitcom Hogan’s Heroes. That's a tidbit you'll only read here, baby.

Nice morning to play golf. I played okay, and got to hit a bunch of shots. Wish I could see the ball better off the club. Perhaps I should start using lighted balls, even in the daytime. Reminds me of an old joke:

A priest, a doctor, and a lawyer were waiting one morning on a particularly slow group of golfers. "What's wrong with these guys?" fumed the lawyer. "We must have been waiting for 15 minutes!"

"I don't know," said the doctor, "but I've never seen such ineptitude!"

"Here comes the greenskeeper," said the priest. "Let's have a word with him. Say, George, what's with that group ahead of us? They're rather slow. aren't they?"

"Oh, yes," said George, "That's the group of blind firefighters. They lost their sight while saving our club last year. We let them play here anytime free of charge!"

Everyone was silent for a moment. Then the priest said, "That's so sad, I think I'll say a prayer for them tonight."

"And I'm going to contact my ophthalmologist buddy and see if there is anything he can do for them," the doctor added.

"Why can't these guys play at night?" asked the lawyer.

Lots of teams struggled this past weekend – traditionally a time ripe for upsets, with teams apt to be looking forward to next week’s rivalry weekend.

1. UGA seemingly struggled on the road against a tough Kentucky team, but the Dawgs only allowed a single TD.

2. Ohio State struggled at Maryland.

3. Michigan needed a late field goal to win.

4. TCU kicked a field goal as time expired to beat Baylor.

5. Tennessee got killed by SC 62-31

13. UNC lost to GT
