First I want to thank the Washington Nationals for an amazing season. You guys should hold your heads high, you proved the "experts" (insert finger quotes) wrong. The best part? You had a awesome time doing it and had some of the best players on any team in the league. So thank you for showing me that D.C. sports have a chance at winning a major title.
NHL News. There is none. At all. Besides that they can't come to an agreement so they've had to cancel games through November. Ovie and four other Washington Capital players are playing or seeing family overseas. So unless they put their egos in a box and lock them up before too long we won't have a 2012/2013 season.
NFL News. The New England Patriots played the New York Jets last week. Any NY vs. NE game , in any sport, is going to matter a lot to fans on either side of the game but when it's the Jets and Pats, it really matters. Maybe it's 'cause the Jets have a Yankee-esque air about them, the kind that turns everyone away like a bad smell. So when I turned on the game, the Jets were up by a field goal. Tom Brady had to march the Pats all the way down the field with enough time to score at the least a field goal. Brady did what he does best under pressure, does what needs to be done. The Pats get down the field just barely, the last two plays of the drive were played in the last 10 seconds of the game. The stress was horrible. It was like the whole world would end if the field goal missed. Thank goodness it didn't. The game went into overtime and the Pats had the ball first. These new overtime rules are pointless and confusing. It should be the first one to score wins not who ever has the most points at the end wins UNLESS one team scores a touchdown or a safety. What? Who came up with that? In this case it didn't matter, the Pats scored a field goal and let the defence go to work. They did their job and kept the Jets out of the end zone, not even close to it. Pats win 29-26.
The Redskins are failing, with all the hype about this season it's really flopping. They lost to the Giants, 27-23. The Skins were the only team to beat the Giants twice last season.
The Steelers haven't been great but haven't been bad, yet they're not mediocre. All their games have (except for two games) been close, won or lost by a touchdown or less. They won today, it came down to the end but they pulled a win out of it, 24-17.
