This weeks Sports Round Up

Okay Sports fans, listen up. This is how I saw things:

Michigan took it on the chin again this week by losing to Rutgers. This is sad. How many other Big 10 teams will fall to Rutgers this year? Probably none. After a 3 loss September (which had never happened before in the history of the school) to come into Rutgers and get beat...well it certainly will test the meddle of the Michigan fans.

As a State fan, I was delighted to see MSU beat a very good and talented Nebraska team. I predicted by 7 and I would have lost that bet, but hey a win is a win.

In the NFL the Lions did what they are so famous for. They get a healthy lead and then quit doing the things that got them that comfortable lead. They get conservative. They don't try and score, they try to sit on a lead. And of course they get their butts beat. I had hoped for more out of this coach. I wonder if there are calls coming from upstairs that ruin the Lions. The coaches change but the formula seems consistent. Get a lead and sit on it and lose. I have made lots of money in my betting life by consistently betting against the Lions and this is the reason why. They get a lead and then become shrinking violets, preferring to sit in the corner and hoping the other team will just quit.

The Lions see Minnesota this week, and I like them to win. They may be the only team of our nearby teams to win.... Chicago sees Atlanta, and Green Bay has to deal with.......

The Detroit Tigers were disappointing to say the least. Baltimore came in and made a 3 game easy sweep telling the Tigers to get to the curb. Hey it was a good year, and I'm not complaining really, but this is a better team than that and I was hoping for a better show of it.

Peyton Manning threw his 500th TD last week, and I loved it because it continues to show the Colts what idiots they are. This guy will be a Hall of Fame legend and his successor will not be. Come on Denver! Be the great team we have come to expect! (My son is a Denver fanatic, so to keep peace in the family....) And Manning should break the TD pass record in the next few weeks.

It is officially "Domestic Violence Awareness Month" and yet the NFL remains oblivious. They are still trying to tout Breast Cancer Awareness and sweep two weeks off for knocking your fiancee out under the rug. In light of all the controversy surrounding the NFL and its lackadaisical attitude regarding domestic violence, it looked as though they were going to finally take the issue seriously. But as quickly as the public loses it's attention (usually takes a week) it back to business as usual.

Stay tuned sports fans...
