Where did it all go?
That's the question I have for the weekend. With a busy day on Saturday, Ryleigh's first Halloween and work all day Sunday, it seems like I had no weekend. I am not complaining I am just saying. But what a full weekend we had in sports. So let's dive in.
We will start with the NFL Sunday. Yesterday my Broncos got rolled by the Ravens. The worst part about the loss was that the Broncos looked horrible. The Ravens' defense made our offense look awful, and torched our defense. The Cowboys are rolling themselves into form. Romo has finally figured out what color jersey his team wears and has eliminated the mistakes. The Titans finally got their first season behind Vince Young. I am not sure how much Young had to do with the team's success, but the change seemed to help the offense mentally. The Rams also goot their first win of the season over the Lions. Miami beat the Jets for the third time in the last four games. The Miami offense looked horrible but Ted Ginn Jr. returned two kickoffs 100 yards for a touchdown. In other news Brett Farve got his revenge in Lambeau, lighting up the Green Bay defense. I learned something about Green Bay yesterday, if the Packers had an offensive line they might be unstoppable. The Giants lost their third straight. It seems like something is missing again in New York. There you go. Some NFL love.
Oh yeah sports fans there is a World Series going on. It is well documented how indifferent I am toward baseball, and how much I hate the Yankees. Unfortunately these two things are prevalent in the World Series. Over the weekend the Yankees took the first two games in Philadelphia. A-Rod has not been hitting as well as he was earlier in this postseason, but when the Yankees need him he is there. Phillies closer Brad Lidge had his first tough outing of the postseason, but it was just one of many tough outings he has had this season. He has some issues with his head that he needs to work out. Yankees now hold a commanding 3-1 lead. Tonight, Cliff Lee will try to extend the apparent inevitable. Damn Yankees!
College football was great! I only say that because USC got destroyed. The Oregon Ducks had over 600 yards rushing on the very proud Trojan defense. If you weren't a football fan and watched that game, you would think that Oregon was the perennial powerhouse. I think that Jeremiah Masoli is one of the most fun quarterbacks to watch in the history of college football. The Gators looked to have their offense back on track. Texas ran away from Oklahoma State. Texas is starting to peak at the right time, which might prove dangerous for any other team in the nation. It was a bad week to have the word Virginia in your school name. Virginia Tech and West Virginia got upset this weekend and Virginia lost to Duke. Cincinnati rolled again led by their backup quarterback. Boise and TCU destroyed the no names they played and Iowa pulled out another gut-check victory. Iowa quarterback, Ricky Stanzi threw 4 interceptions in the third quarter, then the Hawkeyes scored 28 points in the fourth to roll to victory. It was a fun filled day that was strange at times, but wonderful all together. However there was one moment this weekend that made me sick. In a you tube video it appears that Florida linebacker and defensive captain, Brandon Spikes, tried to gouge the eyes of the Georgia running back. Spikes is a great player and shouldn't try to resort to such cowardice. I agree with Mike Golic of ESPN radio's Mike and Mike when he said that this move by Spikes was worse than Blount's punch. It is absolutely disgusting and I hope that the Gators or the SEC take swift and appropriate action. Ok off my soap box, now for the top 25:
