"See You Tomorrow Night!"

Oct 28, 2011

Wow. What a game! The question is, how many people actually stuck around to watch it? If you gave up and changed the channel or never turned on game 6 to begin with, you missed what many are calling the greatest battle in the history of the World Series. Regardless of whether or not you were watching, we are now going to a game 7, which rarely happens, and hasn't at all in the past 10 years. In other words, this series just went "from good to great" as the writer of the above-mentioned article points out.

So, did you stay up, or give up? How do you think last night's game will be remembered in the years to come? Or the series itself? How about the Cardinals' season as a whole? How important do you think the game of baseball is to American culture? Does it still matter?

How Bad are the Colts?

Oct 25, 2011

Note even two full seasons after the two teams met in the Super Bowl, the Saints beat the Colts 62-7. If I could put numbers in "all caps", I would. I know Peyton Manning is great, but wow. The Colts have already lost more games this season than they have in any other single season in the past 10 years. On the other end of the spectrum, Drew Brees, like Tom Brady, is on pace to break Dan Marino's single season yardage record. Several other Saints are on a record-breaking pace. You can check out more historical happenings from what was an otherwise pretty boring weekend in the NFL in this article at Inhistoric.

So, after seeing what the Colts have done this year, how much do you think one player can mean to a team? What do you think about teams that run up the score? Is it more on the team that's doing the scoring, or the team that's being scored on?

Historic Collapse... Times Two

Sep 29, 2011

If you stayed up late enough Wednesday Night, you had the opportunity to witness history. If you didn't, you missed not one, but two teams simultaneously setting the record for the biggest flop in the history of Major League Baseball. Inhistoric has a breakdown of the Red Sox and Braves' epic collapses.
