Go, Colts!

I need Dallas Clark to get some catches tomorrow for me to win my fantasy football game this week.

This has totally changed how I watch football.

Thoughts after the BYU-FSU fiasco

I was at the game.

BYU didn't have a defensive stop until the third quarter was almost over.

BYU had 5 turnovers. FSU had none.

The FSU offensive line looked an average of 4 inches taller and 40 pounds heavier than the BYU defensive line.

If FSU could have pulled off the last-second win against Miami, they'd be undefeated and therefore probably in the Top 10 by now.

And Utah lost to Oregon. So the MWC just set itself back two years in one night.

Monday Night Football

The Bills and Raiders deserved to win their games, but they're losers, so somehow the Patriots and Chargers still won, but those games were as exciting a double-header as the NFL could hope for.

Michael Jordan the Graceless Jerk

So says Yahoo Sports.

I hope MJ and Bryon Russell play a one-on-one game.

NBA Hall of Fame

It's the first time I've watched induction speeches into the Hall of Fame.

I thought David Robinson was classy; ditto Vivian Stringer.

John Stockton... that's the longest I've ever heard him speak. It was moving. Stock was always media-shy in Utah. He was an enigma really, a stranger. Fans could project on him what they wanted to, because he kept his mouth shut. Unless he goes into coaching, that may be the last time we ever him speak.

Jerry Sloan... star. He walked a long road to get to where he was. I hope this is the year the Jazz can win the title and Sloan gets Coach of the Year. How many Hall of Fame coaches never won Coach of the Year, I wonder?

Michael Jordan... interesting to see that to be the best ever at what you do, you kinda have to be a jerk. The chip never leaves the shoulder. I believe MJ when he talks about the motivation that the doubters gave him. If only Bryon Russell had never taunted him, MJ might have stayed retired, and the Jazz could have won two championships. Never rattle MJ's cage.

#20 BYU beats #3 Oklahoma

If BYU goes undefeated, they may actually, realistically get a shot at the national title even without the MWC replacing the Big East as the sixth BCS conference.

Fantasy Football

Overall I'm happy with my team, but my main weakness this year was mine last year - wide receivers. My best WR is Dallas's Roy Williams. Yikes.
