- Things looked pretty bleak for the Nationals yesterday…until Jayson Werth happened, that is…
Epic crowd reaction/roar in my opinion…the O’s also won yesterday, breaking a 1-all tie in the 13th. Both series are tied at 2 games apiece. Both deciding game 5’s are tonight…stay tuned.
- A lot of hullabaloo concerning RG3’s concussion during the Skins’ 24-17 loss to the Falcons last Sunday. Sports talk radio guys and ESPN talking heads all put in their 2 cents all week, but I’m not sure what Griffin should have done differently there…run out of bounds? Throw the ball away? He was scrambling outside the pocket trying to score off a broken play in a game that was tied in the 2nd half, not running a quarterback-keeper on a triple-option play. You take away his natural instincts and athleticism, and you limit his effectiveness as a player. And yet it was scary to see that, even in RG3’s youth, he really is the engine that makes the whole car go for Washington’s offense. Kirk Cousins had a nice touchdown pass to Santana Moss in relief duty, but that seemed as much to do with a blunder by Atlanta’s secondary as it did with offensive execution. If Griffin stays in the game, I think the Redskins win that game, which would have somehow put them in a tie atop the NFC East…yeah, on 2nd thought, run out of bounds next time, Griffin.
- Fantasy football…do I even have to talk about fantasy football anymore? Sheesh…1-4, 11th place in a 12 team league, and relying on William Powell and Alex Green this week. Who?
Yeah, exactly…
- The NBA preseason is underway, which means we might be only a short while away from the BCAS NBA Power Rankings! Or not…because of last year's lockout, I actually kind of forget what pre-Christmas NBA games look like, but I’m probably better off not diving into pro basketball until after the new year (especially with football in full effect).
- I’m not sure if anyone else noticed (or cared), but unbelievably the 6th season of Jersey Shore started last week. That’s right, Jersey Shore now somehow officially has more longevity than Friday Night Lights and as many seasons as Lost. (What is the world coming to?) The last time I mentioned our 8 most famous guidos and guidettes, I wondered aloud whether their 15 minutes of fame was about 4 minutes past the expiration date. After watching the opening episode of season 6, I’m honestly not sure what to make of our cast of Italian American misfits. The last few seasons had gotten so stale that they were borderline unwatchable, and this year’s edition looked to be more of the same, as Pauly D, Ronnie, Vinny, Snooki, Deena, J-Wow, Situation, and Sammi made their annual trek to Seaside Heights for 1 more summer. But if the season premiere is any indication, Jersey Shore might actually have some twists this year. Situation has apparently gotten himself sober and cleaned up, Snooki is pregnant, and Ronnie and Sammi…well, they still probably will get drunk, break up, and get back together every 2 seconds, but who’s kidding who? To say it was odd to see Mike and Vinny conversing about their respective issues instead of GTL-ing or Snooki making actual grown-up responsible decisions is a huge understatement…maybe this last season will actually be different. Or maybe by episode 4 it will just be the same ol’ s*** again, and I will curse myself for adding Jersey to my DVR queue for a 6th time. No matter what, I guess I’m in for a dime and in for a dollar...updates to follow soon.
Here we go again...oy vey.
