Weekly Random Thoughts on the Yankees
The Yankees went 4-2 this week, bringing their record to 84-64. The Yankees are five and a half games behind Boston in the AL East and hold a two and a half game lead over Detroit for the American League Wild Card.Friday night's game against Boston was one of the sloppiest games I've watched the Yankees play all season (it was also one of the worst officiated; the strike zone was all over the place for both teams). But at least they won the game. And I'm going to pretend Saturday's game never happened, ok?
Wishes: for Cleveland to keep winning and for Detroit to start losing.
Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Panthers
I really didn't think the Panthers would win last week's game, but they ended up crushing the Rams 27-13. They are in sole possession of first place in the NFC South.It's amazing what a new offensive coordinator can do. It's nice to see them mix up the play-calling rather than follow last year's recipe for disaster of running the football for three straight quarters and then finding themselves ten points down in the fourth.
This week, it's a battle of undefeated teams as the Panthers host the Texans. Carolina will win, 24-10.
Weekly Random Thoughts On The Carolina Tar Heels
The Heels lost to Virginia today, 22-20, bringing their record to 1-2. Even though they're still on pace to honor my prediction of three wins for the season, I have high hopes for the future. They have a very good young quarterback in redshirt freshman T.J. Yates. He has nine touchdown passes in the first three games of the season. No other Carolina QB has ever accomplished this feat.Bill Belichick
Bill Belichick is a great coach; one of the best if not the best in the NFL. He had no reason to videotape the other team's defensive calls. While I think he should've been suspended for a few games, it's time to move on. I'm dreading watching Sunday night's game against the Chargers. They'll be talking about CameraGate the entire time and probably have four or five cameras on Belichick at all times.Earlier this week, I heard some idiotic sports radio talking head saying Belichick was trying to get caught. Why? To get pressure off his team. Apparently, Belichick was tired of the media naming them this year's Super Bowl champs. He didn't want his team to start believing their press. So he created a little negative press of his own to put the spotlight on him and not his team.
Belichick is a great coach and is obviously very intelligent. But come one. I think someone's been drinking the Belichick Kool-Aid.

Song of the Day
Motherbumper is back for her final day as guest DJ. I hope you all have enjoyed her musical selections and accompanying stories as much as I have. Thanks, MB!It was third year university and my boyfriend at the time, who's name escapes me (but I remember he had one eye - Phil? Or was it Steve? Maybe it was Quentin* - whatever - he was one of three guys I dated that had only one eye - apparently in my part of Canada, eyes are easy to lose) - what was I saying? Oh yes, well Whatshisname and I went to see The Cult. I though Ian Astbury was da' shit and consequently broke up with Whatshisname because he thought Astbury was a pansy.
You don't knock my man-crushes, SB knows that and that's why I married him.
And let me tell you, every time this song came on in a bar, I'd be dancing like a fool, even if there was no dance floor.
*I kid, his name was Dick. Or was it Mick?
Song of the day: She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult
