Just for a change of pace, I’m opening with Baseball. Because I still have a dream……and I absolutely adore Bob Uecker in the movie “Major League” so I swiped a clip. The Indians HAVE won it and are in the Series, and will host the Cubbies (THE CUBBIES!!) on Tuesday. Congrats to the Cubs, who are making their first World Series appearance since 1945 and maybe the curse of the Billygoat has broken. And for the coastal snobs who think no World Series will have viewship without dual region involvement, this Cali girl WILL watch even if I work late. Because if it’s a DAY game, my office is right next door to the Break Room and the 65″ HDTV. And if I’m working late and traveling? God bless smartphones.
As to the completely delusional NFL? Damn. Almost halfway through the season. Polling taken this week show that the SJW BS is the major reason for the decline in viewership, with fully 40% giving that as the reason they stopped watching. But you keep that meme excuse of marquee matchups/political situation alive, there, Goodell.
Also – new game for you blog fans today. You have to find the secret word for the K-dick’s team, hidden secretly in the roster below. Winner gets an ice-cold Sierra Nevada shipped to them without protective packaging.

In NASCAR the Chase moves to Talladega Superspeedway, with a restrictor plate race at a track that never fails to deliver some seriously GREAT racing action. Even if you’re lukewarm to car racing, and are tuning out football, this is a race worth watching. Jimmie Johnson is the current points leader, and so help me, I can’t take it if he wins another championship. I don’t even LIKE Kyle Busch but I’d rather see him repeat. But for me, I’d like to see Carl Edwards pull it off this year.
In the PGA, nothing much this weekend and I thought since CW works harder on this blog than anyone, I’d give him some giggles today. You’ll like this CW.
