Weekend Roundup

Couldn't post earlier as I went to work WWE...got to build the ring and I must say it is not as soft as I thought.
Also, outside the Times Union Center was a movie set...supposedly the set of a Will Ferrell movie...probably the most overrated comedian of all-time (and I'm not counting guys like Dane Cook who no one with half of a half of a half of a brain doesn't find funny).

Is there a more boring NFL venue than Tampa Bay? Watching the Giants pound them 24-0 actually made me wish I didn't get the game. I ended up watching as much of the Jets vs Titans since the atmosphere was so much better. Speaking of which, how about those 3-0 Jets?

The Bills are still terrible.

Overall a fairly boring week in the NFL. There was the Minnesota come-from-behind victory. Cincy taking out the Steelers, as Pittsburgh blew a late lead (rare). The Lions finally won a game. Jacksonville got some life. Philly, even against a terrible KC team, put the league on alert, they may be the best team in the NFL.

College Football was predictably quite boring. Overrated Penn St fell to Iowa, fairly predictably. It's funny all the talk about Iowa running the table and being a top-5 team in the nation. Too funny. The team is terrible...how does everyone not realize that Ohio St was, is and for the next couple of years will be the class of the Big Ten? We found out Ole Miss was overrated (OK, another thing we all knew). Alabama is officially looking like the 2nd best team in the country. And it turns out Jacory Harris isn't accurate (who would have thought?).

Baseball playoffs are just around the corner. The Braves have made a serious run at the NL Wild Card, winning six straight and have a favorable remaining schedule than the Rockies. Still going to be hard to pick up two games, but at least there is a little drama in the pre-playoff MLB season.
