Monday Morning Quarterbacking
Oct. 22nd, 2007 08:55 amI am betting there are a bunch of Fox sports executives that have given a great sigh of relief since the Boston Red Sox are in the World Series. The Cleveland Indians verses the Colorado Rockies has less appeal since the markets that pay attention to them are much smaller. They can sell the BoSoxs to America and there are die-hard fans all over the country. However I think that the Rockies are going to continue on the tear they have been on and win the series in short order.
The Giants won and the Jets lost. Hmmm, must be Monday. Best headline about the Jets this morning was in Newsday not the Daily News. It said, "Hanging Chad?" And there in is the question. It is Chad or the team or a combination of both? I'm watching the defense and it is offending me. The idea is to NOT let the other team score rather than help them down the field. But the offense is not doing much better. Then there is the quarterback who is just not getting it done. Or is getting it done in the first half and making it look like there is hope and then totally falling apart after halftime.
I have noticed all the noise about Eli and his abilities has been silenced. I guess winning a few in a row gets the sports channels off your back. The real question for the Giants are the games ahead. A couple of these wins have been rather sloppy and if a call had gone another way, they could be 3-4 rather than 5-2. I'm predicting that neither is going to be seen in the Superbowl this year. Too many other solid teams that are getting it done. Cheating aside.
The men's bowling season on ESPN started up this week with a showing of the Japan Cup tournament. Apparently there was a change in the rules that really put the Americans competing at a disadvantage that by the time they got to the semi-finals there was only one American bowling. This in a venue that the Americans had dominated for so many years.
My bowling team finally moved out of the basement since our third team member was able to join us. We're in the middle of the pack right now and happy to be there.
I watched Ohio State stay number 1 in the country. It was not the blowout everyone was predicting and they got a bit sloppy at the end. Not bad for a team that has 17 freshmen playing it although. Then there is the train-wreck that is Notre Dame who alumni must be doing the mantra of "there is always next year." College football is so much fun to watch.
I am grateful that my bowling team did so well last week and that my back didn't go out.
