This week in sports history
On October 19th, 1873, representatives from Yale, Columbia, Princeton, and Rutgers got together and established the set of rules for intercollege American Football. That’s like 7 years after the civil war! The sport evolved and from 1920 to 1933, a few black players played in what would become the NFL, but due to a crazed owner, none after 1933. It wasn’t until after WWII that black men were allowed back into the league. CRAZY!

Coolest thing that happened this past week
The NFL turned itself upside down once again. This was insane. If you don’t follow football, I don’t know how to explain the Giants and Cowboys losing, not to mention all the other upsets. It’s like if a one-legged 4-year-old girl who is blind ran against Usain Bolt and beat him. Or like if you had a biggest boobies contest versus your girlfriend, and you somehow won.

Now, I write these reports on Fridays because I’m cheap and don’t have internet at home. Last night, the Red Sox came back from a 7-0 deficit to win game 5 of the ALCS and pull to 3-2. They’ve done this before, and they’ll do it again. By the time you read this on Sunday, Game 7 will likely be in progress. If you don’t like Baseball, just remember that you read it here first that Boston would win the World Series.

Also the NHL season started. But who fucking cares. (I do!)

My Football team for the week
The Titans will lose. The Bucaneers will win. The Bengals will suck.

Cool Athlete Power Rankings (who I wish I was)
1. Knowshon Moreno
2. Drew Brees (actually??)
3. Ovechkin

What I am watching this week
There will be a long few days off before the World Series begin. So I will take that time to hunt for a Halloween costume. Suggestions anyone?

Vagin of the week
Phil Mickelson for appearing in the latest episode of Entourage. His performance was pretty good, but season 5 is so bad that I will razz anybody that appears in it.
