Dallas Loses A Crusher

I only saw the last two minutes of the Dallas game. Would that I had missed the blocked field goal, the Dallas facemask, and the made field goal by Washington to end the game. And then I saw that ridiculous score in the Miami upset of Chicago, 31-13. I had been traveling for eight straight hours and... Sign in to see full entry.

I Did Not See One Game Today

Between working and getting ready for a trip to Virginia, then watching a late movie with my son, I didn't see a college game all day. What the hell happened? Did I miss anything good? Damn my job! Damn that kid! I need to get my priorities straight. So... I think I'll turn on SportsCenter. Sign in to see full entry.

Well, the Mountaineers Have Fallen

I'm watching the final seconds of the WVU-Louisville game, a battle of undefeateds. White, West Virginia's quarterback, just got sacked for the first time in the game, capping off a great showing by Louisville's defense. There goes West Virginia's No. 3 ranking. Louisville will no doubt move up. And... Sign in to see full entry.

Two Sports Legends Left Us This Past Week...

What makes a legend? Exemplary playing ability, setting records, rising above the average. Joe Neikro and Red Auerbach were both legends in their respective sports. Both passed away this past week. I remember Joe Neikro for his great pitching arm and knuckle ball. I watched him numerous times when I... Sign in to see full entry.

Dallas Wins Comeback Blowout 35-14

Tony Romo led a 35 point charge by the Cowboys tonight against the Carolina Panthers, proving that his replacing of Drew Bledsoe for starting quarterback was not a mistake by Parcells. It started out looking bad, Dallas falling behind by 14, but some strong drives by Dallas and some key turnovers by... Sign in to see full entry.

Oregon State Defeats No. 3 USC -- How The Hell Did That Happen?

No post would do this game justice. The upset of the year. Oregon State 33, USC 31. This even beats Arkansas taking out Auburn. Sign in to see full entry.

Testing Mountaineer Momentum And Cardinal Class

Tonight (that should read Thursday night -- instead of editing, I will simpley throw this in to remind me to pay more attention to dates) at 7:30 we'll see the West Virginia Mountaineers truly tested for the first time this season. Ranked 4th in the nation and carrying a 14-game win streak,... Sign in to see full entry.

The World Series Turned Cardinal Red

The St. Louis Cardinals are the 2006 World Series Champions! St. Louis won the fifth game of the World Series tonight, 4-2, winning the Series four games to one. Give 'em credit; they weren't fooling around. And the Detroit Tigers join all the other teams in Major League Baseball saying, "There's... Sign in to see full entry.

St. Louis Takes A Dominating 3-1 Game Lead In World Series

I sat and watched most of tonight's game on my computer. I was watching South Park and a special CNN report on our broken government (by the same name, appropriately enough). I turned and watched the last half inning live on Fox. It's looking bad for Detroit. But, as the great Yogi Berra said, "It... Sign in to see full entry.

Those Damned Cowboys!!! They Literally Threw Away Another Game

Parcells finally woke up (sorry coach, but it's true) and put Tony Romo into a game. Bledsoe had just thrown a red zone interception. Tony Romo threw an inteception on the very next pass (albeit a deflected one. Still, it was his fault, considering he shouldn't have thrown the ball so low). Later,... Sign in to see full entry.
