Third Time’s the Charm

Three weeks in a row. We should have some kind of counter to see how long we can keep this up.

4-2 Haikus
Arizona win?
Neil Rackers field goal miss
‘Skins in a nail-biting one

Dreams of five and two
Tom Brady and rocket arm
Make Redskins cry, cry

At least we have personality…
Funny man Peyton
In shadow of pretty Tom
Also unbeaten

Think you too are a poetic genius?? Comment and send us your sports haikus*!

*A Haiku is a short 3 line poem. The first line contains 5 syllables, the second 7, and the third 5. It doesn’t usually rhyme, and be sure to “paint” a mental image in the reader’s mind.

2004-peat?
We were right! The Red Sox like drama – they play best when the odds are against them Once again, the Boston Red Sox did the unthinkable, as they came back from 3-1 down in the ALCS to beat the Cleveland Indians and advance to the World Series. The question is: will Colorado be rusty from their eight-day break? What have they been doing all this time? We might actually watch the World Series this year!


BCS stands for Bad Computer Standings
In what continues to be a whirlwind season in college football, Ohio State, Boston College, and LSU round out the top three in the Bowl Championship Series standings. Despite a 7-0 record, people continue to question BC’s spot because of their strength of schedule (or in this case, the lack thereof). They didn’t even play this week! Meanwhile, USC achieved dominance once again by pounding Notre Dame 38-0, in the storied school’s worst home defeat in history and Cal made it two in a row, with a loss to the lowly UCLA Bruins.

By the way, it must be pretty awesome to be a New England sports fan right now – BC is #2 in the BCS, the Pats are kicking ass in the NFL, the Red Sox are in the World Series, the Celtics are about to begin a potentially turnaround season with KG & Ray Allen, hell – even the Bruins are looking good & the Revolution are in the MLS Cup Play-offs. Spread the sports wealth guys, come on!

En fuego, and not in a good way
After the Brazilian beat down at the Women’s World Cup, Greg Ryan is out as coach of the U.S. Women’s Soccer team. Ryan ousted goalie-on-a-roll Hope Solo (no, that isn’t a sandwich) for veteran Brianna Scurry. The US lost 4-0 in the semis and Hope Solo said Ryan was mental in the head. Let’s hope the women continue their world domination next time in… to be determined??

Peyton Manning gives Advice
