Table Scraps
NFL- this league....what's the old saying? Any Given Sunday? Kudos to the Bills, Browns, Chiefs and to those behind Breaking Bad finale (not football I know, but had to get it in). Good thing the Browns season is over and I don't have to worry about them anymore. Ravens O looks lost and so does the Eagles D.. curious how many divisions get won with a 10-6 or 9-7 record. St. Peyton of Manning proving Mike Ditka's Sunday morning comments accurate.
MLB- How about a good old fashioned rust belt World Series? Who would not enjoy the Pirates/Indians in late October. Yet again baseball delivers right up to and including tonight's play-in between Rangers and Rays. Lots to like in who's left, so many reclamation stories it is truly tough to pick a fave.
NHL- eve of a new season, new divisions, an Olympic year, who can say who stands tall in June...top o' my head, couple quick picks- Ottawa and St Louis
Rivera- Never been a Yankees fan but the way the Pinstripers handled the last few weeks is what "mystique" is all about. The Pettitte/Jeter saunter to the mound had to leave even the hardest among us with a small lump in the throat. We may truly have had a birdseye view of history watching a a true master at his art.
Blue Jays- Twitter full of all sorts of chest pounding yesterday about how scrappy the birds were in game 162, not letting the Rays out of Toronto easily... way too late fellas, where was this never say die attitude in May, or June, or April?...This year goes into the books as an epic disapointment. And don't read me the injury report either- every team gets hurt. I am not buying that, too many good stories this year of teams turning it around to view the J's dismal campaign as anything other than a bust.
NBA- 2016 All Star Game in Toronto...fantastic. I will try to care, God knows I have 2 years + to get jacked.
CFL- Without a doubt, the "rouge" the most charming part of our game...how many games have been won or lost because of that little sucker? Anytime I see a 4-4 score, makes me proud to be Canadian. Actually... I do like the single.

Table Scraps
Take a bow Browns, Titans, Lions, Colts ....in what was a bizarre day, could it be that actually its the 53 guys in the room that matter in the case of the Browns and not the ever widening noise caused by sports media that told us it was over for the Clevelanders with the Trent Richardson deal. Putting on that jersey does matter and some pride kicked in and the Browns showed the right way to shut everybody the hell up, if only for 1 week.
Memo to Jets/Bills- that was unwatchable, you have got to be joking...cue gleeful noises in Miami and Foxboro.
Baseball- one more week and still much to be decided and the Yankees show why they are the Yankees with the live Metallica performance of Enter Sandman for Rivera's farewell....just cool on a lot of levels.
Leafs/Sabres- David Clarkson, the top Leaf FA signing in the off season is now done for 10 cause he jumped the boards in a pre-season melee involving Phil Kessel and John Scott. This whole thing was beyond idiotic on so many levels and now the Leafs find themselves without a star piece in a new divison where a poor 10 games could make all the difference.

Dog Day Afternoon...I'm watching baseball
Ohio St 76 Florida A&M 0, Louisville hangs 72 on Florida International and pitches a shutout to boot and Miami (Fla) registers 77 against Savannah St..who? That's right, that notable gridiron goliath- Savannah State. You want me to believe NCAA? Then don't let days like yesterday happen. Got some relief with Notre Dame and Michigan St, plus a spirited UConn team that gave Michigan all it could handle but in what should have been another can't miss NCAA Saturday the day belonged more to the impending race for baseball's playoffs, at least as far as my attention went. If part of your marketing and sales pitch is that every Saturday matters for the Top 25 on their way to a BCS bowl or national championship then make it matter every week with no Savannah States dotting the football landscape.
