Some quick pregame thoughts:
If Mark Teixeira had worn a Minnesota uniform when he hit his game-winning walk-off home run Friday, would his shot have been ruled foul? Some seasons I can't stand the Yankees. This isn't one of them. But with all that talent, they don't need help from the umpires, too.
Spent two hours walking around before the Panthers-Redskins game. I saw more Washington jerseys than Panthers jerseys. The jersey of choice for Washington fans was 47, tight end Chris Cooley. One fan wore a T-shirt that said: Chris Cooley Is My Life Coach. Didn't see any Brad Hoover Is My LIfe Coach T-shirts, but I don't know why.
Which program is in worse shape, the basketball program at N.C. State or the football program?
All hail Duke. The Blue Devils were outstanding Saturday against the Wolfpack. Thought I heard some TV guys in the press box at Bank of America Stadium talking about them. Man, they were good, I said. And one of the guys who had been talking said, what? Then he invoked Krzyzewski.
Just saw a woman wearing an Adrian Peterson jersey, the Minnesota Adrian Peterson. But, as of 12:41, Carolina jerseys still outnumber Minnesota jerseys. I'm not criticizing Panther fans for their attire. I have no interest in how adult males dress.
The Panthers need to literally clean house and begin anew. Their players are no where as good as they think they are. When they are in the media they talk as if they are the best in the NFL. If they would work at improvig instead of patting themselves on the back they might get more done. They should have let Peppers go when they had the chance. The QB is a joke.

These Twins were not even close to those of the early 90s or even late 80s and that was the right call.
The jaded Yanks may be a bunch of spoiled rotten arrogant cocky heady bastards as usual but were superior head and shoulders in talent. Not even close. It was David vs Goliath and Goliath won as he would 99% of the time although its hard to believe he got whipped way back and sounds like some media fable.
As far as the Panthers these spoiled pampered millionaire babies need to get their fucking heads out of their azz or be benched and its not JDs fault. Fox is doing nothing different. Just a bunch of overpaid egomaniacs acting like big stars who lucked one.
