Sorry for the long absence. I hope you all spent Thanksgiving with the ones you love and have come back rejuvenated for some TSR to round out the year and take you into 2010. The whirlwind of the Thanksgiving holiday came and went, most of it was spent sitting (screaming) while watching my Redwings/Lions/Muskies enjoy their success and the red-headed stepchild of the bunch, the once-great Detroit Pistons get mercilessly beaten into a pulp night in and night out.
Since we're getting back fresh into things here, lets do a quick recap of the sports happenings recently.
MLB:
Crawford and A-Gon head to Beantown/Yankees court Lee - another reason why a salary cap needs to be instituted in baseball, but I'm not here to B&M about politics. Hell, if the Marlins can win it, anyone can.
NBA:
Who cares? It's December.
NCAA:
Once conference play starts, we will begin to see the true movers and shakers in the land of true basketball. And a special shoutout to XUCB alum and Xavier walk-on Kevin Feeney, who played 2 minutes of sound, fundamental basketball in Xavier's 51-49win over Butler last Thursday.
NFL:
Are the Pats the class of the NFL? Are the Jets for real? Is the NFC West deserving of a playoff team? Will Brett Favre be broken this week? Are the Saints back? Hopefully all of these questions will sort themselves out in the upcoming march into the NFL Playoffs.
Hey, Brett...Call Me (pun intended)
NCAA Football:
Sausages, yes there will be a Bowl Preview and the possibility of a ESPN Bowl Pick'em Group sponsored by TSR. Stay tuned for that. In other NCAAFB news, Cam Newton rightfully won the Heisman by a landslide. Off the field news aside, Cam was the most dominant player in the country this season and one of the best all-around football players I've seen in a great while. Vince could run, but Cammy Cam can do it all.
#1 Auburn vs. #2 Oregon for the National Championship should be a very interesting matchup and could result in the first team to 55 wins. Be sure to not miss this one.
Premier League:
Arsenal sit top of the table which is the only reason why this update has been included (bias intended)
I want to finish this welcome back post with an aerial photograph of "The Big Chill at the Big House". This was the world's largest outdoor hockey event ever. 113,411 packed the newly-renovated Michigan Stadium above capacity (109,901) and cheered the Wolverine hockey team to a 5-0 victory. It doesn't matter if you root Blue or Green, this was an exceptionally cool sight and one that many people will not forget for a very long time.
That's it for tonight, Sausages. If you have any hard feelings due to the absence, write a letter and send it to Brooks Conrad.
