Two things I forgot in the last posting.

Tim Herron has an outstanding chance to make the U.S. side. He looks like he will need a tie for seventh or better and is currently ninth. That can be done.

Also, did anyone catch the TNT broadcast earlier on Sunday? Ernie Johnson, who reeks of awesomeness, is recovering at home. Verne Lundquist calls him on the air and talks to him without the audience being able to hear Johnson. This sounded so bad on the air. So bad. I would have rather heard Lundquist and Bobby Clampett sing Broadway tunes than this monstrosity, which could have been kind of nice.
