And Sports Contests Were Played...

Lots of stuff to cover in a short time...just some quick hits and that will be about it:
  • Kenny Rogers may or may not have cheated to beat the Cardinals last night to tie the series at 1 each. LaRussa didn't care...so I don't care either.
  • Cincinnati/South Florida may have set the Big East back a year. What a horrible game. There were 17 people in the stadium and the play was just bad. Really, really bad. Why are they playing on a Sunday night anyway? I hope everyone was watching the World Series and not this demonstration of high school football.
  • Steelers lost again. Big Ben injured again. Are the Steelers cursed? Probably. Michael Vick threw 4 touchdown passes. He's the greatest passing quarterback ever. Well, I don't believe that but expect to hear it over and over again next weekend.
  • The Raiders won a game. What a disappointment. I was looking forward to the 0-16 season. Seriously.
  • UCLA broke my heart. Notre Dame is barely winning...and Professor Holtz wants them to be in the BCS Championship. Bull...
  • WVU jumped Auburn in the BCS polls. People are upset. WHY? If WVU is undefeated and in a BCS conference and goes undefeated, they deserve the shot over a 1-loss team. If they don't, remove the automatic BSC bid from the Big East. But, if you remove it from the Big East, remove it from the ACC too because they are horrible.
  • Rutgers beat Pitt. Another ugly game...I wasn't overly impressed with either team. But Rutgers is 7-0 and that is something I never thought I would see.
  • East Fairmont clinched their first playoff berth in 30-years. 30-freakin-years. That's just unbelievable.
  • Louisville has declared their game against WVU as "Blackout Thursday" and has asked their fans to wear black. If you're going to the game, I encourage you to wear light colors.

Alright, that's about it for now. Have a good one...

The Steelers didn't lose, Mr. Swisher. They tied. When the 4th quarter is over, the game is over. Sure, the refs stay on the field and flip a silly coin to see who gets to kick a field goal, but that doesn't matter. The Steelers are 2-3-1. It's a fact.
