The Steelers will beat the Patriots and other lessons from a golf traveler

Now is the time of year it’s great working for a golf travel publication. Aside from the just-finished Q-School tournaments, there’s little going on in the world of professional golf. Unless, of course, you consider the Skins Game worthy of acknowledgment. If that’s the case, than please send me a private e-mail so I may mock you mercilessly.

Why this season is great, however, is because now more than ever, WorldGolf.com and TravelGolf.com writers are on the road, doing their thing. Chris Baldwin is in Hawaii, wishing he had more islands to hop to. Tim McDonald is in the backwoods of Kentucky, trying to find the perfect libation for his upcoming feature “Top-10 places to drink moonshine and play golf in the Kentucky backwoods.” The Cheap Bastard is drunk in some Las Vegas Strip casino. And Brandon Tucker is likely somewhere, as well, telling anyone who sees him on a golf course “Dude, they’re paying me for this.”

Even yours truly got to travel, and in upcoming weeks I’ll have some stories to share at WorldGolf.com, including one about the Alsace region of France, where golf and wine make for a golf traveler’s dream.

In the end, however, there is but one thing that my travels have taught me. One overriding fact that far trumps all others. That fact is this - The Pittsburgh Steelers will beat the New England Patriots next week and destroy their chance for an undefeated season.

So while readers of these pages will learn all about the great golf destinations around the globe, keep in mind that traveling has one side benefit - you can see future sports scores much more clearly. No, I don’t know how it works, either.

All I know is that it’s great to travel, and the Steelers will thump the Pats.

Steelers beat New England? Dude, you're crazier than me!

Steelers have lost 3 on the road. They couldn't even beat the Jets on the road. The Giants are the team with the best shot at derailing NE.

If the Ravens could come that close, the Steelers have an excellent chance. The Pats are due for a loss and the Steelers are due for a road win. Pittsburgh has the offense and the defense. If Polamalu is healthy and Willie gets a hole, anything can happen. Bet on it!

Belichick always knew that the team was vincible. The players needed to learn this. The Ravens shave will refocus their efforts, and they will finish with four big victories. There is no way that the Steelers will pull it out, unless the snow flies and Mike T. pulls some massive trick plays out of his bag of junk.

Much as I would like to care about the subject of this blog, I find it utterly impossible to do so. Football? yuck. boring. (and by the way, I'm a heterosexual American male...lol)

One woulda thought that the near loss in Philly would have refocused the Pats' efforts.

My guess is that the Steelers win a close one on Sunday, but then get crushed by the Pats in a playoff rematch.

And i say that as a lifelong, diehard Steelers fan...
