It took three days and a flood that almost brought out Noah’s Ark, but the Phillies are baseball’s best. The NFL still has one lone unbeaten team. We’ll see how long it lasts… and college football is giving us two huge rivalry games this weekend.

The football world has completely lost itself. Left is right, down is up, and St. Louis can win a game. In fact the only thing you CAN count on is Peyton throwing, T.O. bitching, and Pacman Jones getting suspended. College football don’t get much better. As quickly as you can say 1,2,3: 1,2…and 4 lose.
