It's kind of weird, now that Yankees are eliminated, I've lost all interest in the baseball playoffs. I guess my dislike of the Yankees was way more important than having a rooting interest in any other team.
By the next round, something is bound to catch my attention.
Today? The Gophers have a prime slot against Ohio State. I'll try to watch the ending of that one if it's close.

Giants Lose
It was tough choosing who I wanted to lose most last night. I despise both the Eagles AND the Giants.
When it was all over the worst team lost, and I have no problem with that. I don't know why Eli is still playing. He should have retired last year.

Sano
I was waiting to see if anything else was reported about Miquel Sano before writing this.
4 days ago I read a story about how Sano was arrested for an incident down in the Domicican where he had a dispute with an officer, and by the time it was over the officer had two broken bones in his leg.
The whole story? Sano had borrowed a friend's truck to go out to a nightclub with his wife. When he was ready to leave a policeman noticed that Sano's truck didn't have any license plates. Sano, when questioned didn't have his driver's license with him, either.
After talking to the officer, Sano got in his truck, with his wife to leave. He accidentally backed over the guy who had not yet left or moved his motorcycle. It was a dark parking lot. He stayed and assisted the officer until medical help could arrive.
One day later he was cleared of all charges. There was no fight.
Somewhere in all of this, the truth lies.
Sano ended up paying all the medical expenses of the officer.
We probably won't hear any more about this.

Yankees Clobbered 16-1!
Boston leads the series, now, 2 games to 1.
Go Sox!
I watched some of the Monday night football game last night because I wanted to see Drew Brees set the all-time passing yardage record. Of course, every time, from now on, when you watch him complete a pass, you will see him set the all-time passing record. So maybe it wasn't that big a deal...

Vikings Win!
Looks like I'll have to follow them a little longer now.
The Eagles are definitely NOT the same team that won the Super Bowl last year.
The Vikings looked good in the first half and then looked really bad in the second. It's a good thing Philly didn't know how to work it all to their advantage either.
Green Bay should have won yesterday but THEIR kicker missed 4 field goals AND an extra point. He's been great for them for over a decade, but sometimes it's best to say good-bye before it gets worse.
The Vikings kicker missed two field goals, too.
I'm puzzled as to why kickers are becoming so inconsistent. It's just weird.
At least football will be fun to watch for another week or two...

NFL
I'm not exactly rooting for the Vikings to LOSE today, but if they lose a few more times in the next couple of weeks it will be very "freeing" for me. Once the Twins started losing this season, it became easy to stop watching them.
The same thing is already happening for me with the Vikings who I don't expect will win today against the Super Bowl champs who clubbed them in last year's NFC championship game.
A 1-3-1 record, five games into the season, will make it nearly impossible to get back into the the playoff picture, especially with the Bears playing so well AND the Packers also ahead of us.
Sure, I'll watch until it gets painful. But I will no longer be sitting around watching the pain continue. There's plenty of stuff more enjoyable than watching your team lose.
That really is freeing.
Go Vikings! But if you lose, it will be me leaving!
