      I know as a sports fan it was a pretty shitty weekend. It seems all the teams I wanted to win lost. Not to mention BJ Penn getting his head caved in and Texas losing the world series. Tomorrow is already better with the Raiders having a bye.

        Wild interception return for TD by Arizona. Washington was about to score and basically ice the game, Zona has a criss cross, zig zag crazy return for score gets 2 point conversion. Tie game.

          BYU loses.
          Cardinals win.
          SC loses.
          More laker games cancelled.

          About the only thing that could make this weekend worse is for Frank McCourt to win his lawsuit against the MLB tomorrow. Fortunately court is closed on Sunday so that probably won't happen.

            Which will give Palmer a chance to figure things out. Now that Davis has passed, I can give a nice golf clap when they win.

              Speaking of Al, his death certificate and details were released.

              Apparently, he lived at a hotel for most of the season.....the Airport Hilton in Oakland.

                Arizona looks tough but beatable. Plagued by turnovers, but they played washington tough on the road tonight.

                  Washington has found some moxie, that is games they would have lost in the past. Amazing how they make a pretty big jump the year Messiah of Montlake leaves.

                  Polk turned in an amazing game 144 rushing 4.2 a carry, 100 receiving,5 scores. So good against that vaunted Arizona defense that Joel Klatt declared him the best running back in the country at the end of the game, excepting that perhaps Tony Richardson is close to on par with him. I can only imagine what a football mind like Joel Klatt would think if a player rushed for 288 yards at 12.5 a carry, he might be the best running back ever to play football.

                    I only thought he was the best running back in the P12.

                      Awesome sports weekend.

                      -Cards win the World Series
                      -Utes win
                      -RSL win
                      -Liverpool win
                      -Bama's undefeated
                      -Colorado got crushed

                      A Blues win on Friday would've sealed the deal.

                          I'll grant you Liverpool and Bama, but RSL and Utah are the local teams; the Broncos are the closest NFL team; Colorado is our rival; and I inherited the St Louis teams from my dad, who grew up there.

                            I'm sorry, but I can't take Colorado seriously as a rival until they are actually good, or actually do beat someone in the PAC-12, hopefully not us.

                              Or until you live close enough to like them, too.

                                Who is your rival? I thought rivalries generally had some sort of history behind them. When was the last time Utah played Colorado?
