I was watching the NFL results on Sunday and saw the highlights (lowlights) of the Cowboys game, if Wade Phillips can’t get fired after that then I suspect he may have pictures of Jerry Jones in a compromising situation.
The Texas Longhorns are a mess this season at 4-4 coming off back to back home losses to Iowa St. and this past week to Baylor. If prior to the season someone told you that Texas would lose both of those contests at home this season, you would think that person didn’t follow college football. Maybe it’s something in the water in North and Central Texas this year with the performance of the Cowboys and the Longhorns?
The news for Texas sports got worse last night as the San Francisco Giants won the franchise’s first World Series since moving to the Bay Area. The last Giants title occurred in 1954 when they were still playing in the Polo Grounds with Willie Mays in centerfield. The Giants pitching was dominating but it’s still hard to believe a team with that line-up won a World Series. None the less, a tip of the cap to the 2010 World Champion San Francisco Giants from E.
The Vikings release Randy Moss in less than a month after trading a third-round draft pick in 2011 to New England. And we wonder why New England is good year after year; as the saying goes “there is an ass for every seat”.
My USC Trojans were the latest victim of the Oregon Ducks spread offense. USC actually led the game 32-29 in the middle of the 3rd quarter and ended up losing 53-32! Oregon scored points like they were playing basketball, playing basketball at Duke or North Carolina that is- has anybody watched an Oregon basketball game recently? If you did then you know that the football team may end up averaging more points per game than the basketball team this year which speaks volumes on both.
Wonder if the line of suitors for Cliff Lee will shorten a bit after watching the Giants beat him twice in the World Series? Lee is still one of the top 10 pitchers in baseball no doubt but $20mm per is a lot of cabbage and if Lee is anything less than one of the top 10 pitchers in baseball after he gets his contract your franchise is hamstrung by the deal. I am sure the Yankees will outbid themselves for his services.
Is Brian Kelly really an upgrade at Notre Dame? You want to talk about having a bad week. A young man was killed in a tragedy last week while filming football practice on Kelly's watch- what an awful example of poor judgment by an adult! The football coach controls everything in the program so that's on Kelly. What did Kelly hope to accomplish by practicing in 51 MPH wind gusts and why would you let someone risk their life trying to tape the practice? Then on Saturday, playing Tulsa (the smallest school in D-IA football) and trailing 28-27 with 35 seconds left and the ball on the Tulsa 19 yard line, Kelly dials up a pass play into the endzone that was intercepted. The caveat here is that A.) the Notre Dame place kicker had made 18 straight FG attempts and B.) after the game Kelly told reporters to “get used to it” saying that he will call the same type of play again if confronted with that situation in the future. This may be true but he may not be calling the play for Notre Dame as it’s hard to imagine Kelly lasting very long at the school.
Finally election day is today, my predictions the Republicans pick up 60 seats in the House, 9 seats in the Senate and sometime during the evening Bush will be blamed for all the Democrats troubles.
Catch you all soon…..
