The way this Ravens/Patriots game started, it looked like it was going to be a complete laugher for the Ravens - 24 unanswered points with 2 turnovers. Then the Ravens returned the favor, and the Pats scored a TD, then went 3 and out after the second turnover. It still looks like the Ravens are in charge, but mostly, it looks like we rewound top August - it's that sloppy.
When I've traveled, I've sometimes had people make fun of the baseball World Series, since, outside of one team in Canada, it's a US thing. Well, it looks like talk are underway between MLB and their Japanese counterparts to do something about that:
In meetings with Japanese commissioner Ryozo Kato in Milwaukee, MLB commissioner Bud Selig proposed that the Japanese and U.S. champions play each other, the Nikkansports newspaper reported Thursday.
That would be pretty awesome, but there are complications. Like, when would it take place? November? If so, it would probably have to be like the Superbowl, played in a neutral location with good weather. You wouldn't want a series between, say, the Chicago White Sox and a Japanese team in the middle of November - you could get snow outs.
If that gets resolved though, it would be really cool.

Boy, the Giants sure know how to end a season down. After a 5-0 start, they went 3-8 to end the year - and celebrated that collapse with a fine 44-7 whimper today. I put the game on while I was exercising, and quickly switched over to the Pittsburgh/Miami game, which was at least a contest.
The Giants have some of the parts of a good team, but not enough. It seems to me that the defense in particular needs work - they got crushed way, way too many times this year.
How soon is spring training again?
