Bonus's Unreal Run Takes Title

The Bone Man missed just one game in Title run

Congrats to Brady Bonus for completing an unreal run this year.  Simply missing one game against the spread is uncanny.   Watching Vince Young carve up USC made me feel a lot better about Michigan's performance last year.  Brady takes home the full prize and obtains bragging rights for the next year.                       

We managed to communicate with the winner after the game and the post-game chatter yielded a wide range of topics.  After this incredible run against the Vegas line, everyone wants to know what Bonus thinks...no matter what the subject:

On his thoughts during the game:

That missed extra point haunted me all game man. It kept whispering in
my ear 'remember me? I'm comin for you'...and then it happened. The 8
point Trojan lead in the fourth Q with the score adding up to exactly 71
points and i was thinking 'these handicappers are unreal'!  Game
over! Thank god for the unbelievably telegraphed dive play on 4th and 2
and leaving [Reggie] Bush on the sideline to watch the carnage.
 

On the mis-management of his beloved Red Sox: "I'll put the [pool] proceeds into the center fielder for the red sox fund and maybe we'll be able to overpay for a veteran in the twilight of his career.
 

On Michigan basketball coach Tommy Amaker:

Can sometime out there tell amaker how to make a coaching adjustment, let alone coach a winner. like for instance how to pass out of a double team on the block? that guy is killing me slowly out here.
my biggest fear is this year we will be just decent enough for that stiff to keep his job.
 

On King Kong, still in theaters:

King Kong could have been good, but ultimately it was tiresome. it started an hour too early and even though most of the effects and overall production value was superb, the some of dinosaur scenes I laughed out loud watching. Grade: B-.
