- It's kind of nice to see LSU back at the top of the college football rankings. So much better than, say, USC. Glad the media finally gave up on them.
- I love that because the NBA is definitely going to have a lock out or at least a late start, the players are all going to Europe.
- A friend's Facebook status after last weekend's Patriots game: "Dear Wes Welker, From one Red Raider to another...Lets get married!" We love Wes Welker in this neck of the woods. That is all.
- This brave soul threw a hot dog at Tiger Woods. I wish there was better video. Hahahaha.
Things I didn't like:
- Last week in the Rangers/Tigers playoff series, a long game in the 11th inning was won by the Rangers after Nelson Cruz scored the first post season walk off grand slam in history. Good for him. Bad for the Tigers.
- The Lions lost to the 49ers this weekend after going 4-0 to open the season. Only the Lions and the Packers were able to go 4-0. Guess they had to lose some time and better to the 49ers than the Cowboys.
- Dan Wheldon, an Indy race car driver, was involved in a crash this weekend that took his life. The safety of racing is now under scrutiny again.
- The Texas Rangers and the St. Louis Cardinals are going to the World Series. Go Cards!
Things that surprised me:
- Michigan State beat Michigan 28-14 this weekend. Yay Sparties!
- How's your fantasy team doing, you ask? Great! I'm in second place and have a pretty sucky team. I'll take it! Special thanks to Colt McCoy and Wes Welker - both of whom I went to school with and picked up in the draft as an act of school spirit.
- Sidney Crosby sustained a concussion in January of this year. He is still showing concussion symptoms...9 months later! I don't like the kid, but man, that's not a good thing. I hope he recovers completely soon!
- Carson Palmer came out of retirement to play for the Raiders. Who does he think he is, Brett Favre?!?
Now for a serious, personal note: I found out I had a friend take his own life this weekend. I don't know how people get to that place, but the people around them always wish they had done something more in some way at some point. Please don't ever get to that place. Talk to someone you know. Anyone! I assure you anyone who knew him would have been honored to talk to him about whatever was hurting him. Please just talk.
