Costas Cost Us: Not to be confused with the recent posts about my procreating friends, I had an interesting day at the Breeder's Cup Championship at Arlington Park. Dennis, Brook and I sneaked around outside the track for an hour, until we found a scalper who would sell us three of the $140 seats on the cheap. Bob Costas provided the narration just a few feet away. I would've won lots of money, if it weren't for a technicality: the horses that I bet on didn't cross the finish line first.
