Hi There. Well another weekend has passed and so has the high school football season. Hudson Falls lost, so really there is no local team we cover left. Please take no offense Greenwich, Saratoga, or Ballston Spa. I'll enjoy the wait for basketball and hockey seasons.
As for the upset specials, went 1 for 2...again. Oregon thumped USC and the Eagles thumped the Giants. Now for all you Giants fans which I am one, if you want to know why this three game nose dive into the abyss has taken place, it comes down to a variety of problems. Starting with the lack of a pass rush. Everything the Giants do offensively and defensively is built around Osi, Justin, and Co. getting to the quarterback. When a good QB like Brees, Warner and McNabb gets pass protection, it exposes the Giants beat up secondary and they'll just pick it apart. As for the offense, the young receivers are holding their own, but my one gripe with Eli has always been this obsession of his to constantly change the play at the line of scrimmage pointing everywhere left and right and just barely getting it off. How can a quarterback get into any sort of rhythm when half the time he's flailing his arms pointing out things to the lineman? Get up under center and call the damm play!
Sorry UConn fans, I know the Huskies needed the win badly to help with the healing over the tragic loss of Jasper Howard, but I was very happy that Rutgers snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in the final minute Saturday afternoon.
Oregons' uni's weren't the ugliest things I saw on the college football field Saturday. The black tops that Tennessee wore were kind of gross looking. Stick with the orange, Vols.
To all you fans of "The" Ohio State Buckeyes, please accept this piece of reality. The Cincinnati Bearcats are the best college football team from the state of Ohio this year. Most college football fans are delusional about how good their team really is anyway. Especially the fans from the south and midwest.
This weeks sign of the apocalypse comes from the supermarket where I saw chocolate covered Ritz. I'm not making this one up. To quote Andy Griffith, "Mmmmm, good cracker."
Is it true that Brett Favre played at Lambeau Field wearing a Vikings jersey? No, it can't be. Say it ain't so cheesehead fans? Must have not been paying attention. This will take awhile for me to digest.
I have no problem with the Phantoms moving their December 4th home game to Philadelphia. I thought they were going play one there anyway. Besides its Norfolk we're talking about. The Admirals rank up there with the old Newmarket Saints and Cornwall Aces (Remember them?) As a season ticket holder the options presented to us were great. It also pads the attendance figure and if you look at how other teams in the league are drawing so far this year, we're holding our own.
Personally, I'd rather see a Directv commercial with Kim Basinger doing a scene from "Blind Date" than "Wayne's World II." I must admit the ad is very funny though. Next I'd like to see Mike Myers or Anthony LaPaglia do Directv spot which uses a scene from, "So I Married An Axe Murderer." Love that flick.
New episodes of the Monday night comedies on CBS...Leccese out.
