President Obama's 0-fer streak continues.

What began as a thank-you call for Haitian relief efforts to the top-ranked Kentucky Wildcats became the latest example of the Obama Kiss of Death.

Obama and the Wildcats participated on the phone call Tuesday afternoon in Columbia, S.C., where Kentucky was to play South Carolina on Tuesday night. link

Final Score, South Carolina 68 Kentucky 62.

Talk about the anti-midas touch.

Yup. And now I hear he has picked the Saints in the SB.

Oh noooooooooooo

Good. KY has been State's biggest rival for decades. I well remember the story of some State fans who put a dead skunk under KY’s seats in the old gym. Of course, there was that slowly played game when the score was something like 25-23 or some odd score. Wonder if that skunk story is true.

Yup. And now I hear he has picked the Saints in the SB.

Forget the Saints.

Please, please keep him away from Payton Manning, Peyton's family, and anything to do with Indianapolis at all costs.

I thank you. The Peyton family thanks you.

Just wondering: What is Peyton's famous father and former Saint great player to do on Super Bowl Sunday?

Peyton's father has probably been praying all his life that he will see his beloved Saints play in the Super Bowl before he died, and now when his long-suffering wish has been granted, he sees his eldest son, Peyton, standing in the way of a Saints first Super Bowl victory! Damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

Now we know why they have to take several planes where ever he goes. One for him and the family, one for everyone else.

What a weird position Peyton's father and Saints great Archie finds himself in:

When the Saints score, Archie cheers.

When his son Peyton and the Colts score, Archie cheers again.

To me, this would be, in a strange weird way, a football fan's dream: Whichever team wins, you win, because you are rooting for both teams to win!

But then again, what is Archie the father to do? Which way is Archie's heart going to go?

If I had to bet, I would say that rooting for your son is more important. Still, in a way I feel sorry for Archie as he fights mixed emotions on who he wants to win the game.
