I guess I can't really use the "Tortured Philly Fan" logo anymore, can I? I'll have to find a new one.
In the meantime, I'm down to one sport this weekend: football. I didn't watch any of it. That's because Penn State had a bye week and the Eagles were not on tv in DC. The Eagles, I am happy to learn, won. They beat the Seahawks 26-7. They are now 5-3, which isn't nearly as bad as I thought they would be a few weeks ago. With half the season gone (already), we take on the Giants next week in a real test of our strength this year.
Although Penn State didn't play this weekend, they got screwed a little by the BCS. Texas Tech beat Texas on Saturday, who had previously been #1. That moved Alabama up to the #1 slot and knocked Texas down to #5. But then they put Texas Tech over Penn State at #2 and left the Lions at #3. WTF. I know we didn't play and Tech is also undefeated, but really? All of the sudden they are better for beating one team? Lame.
And since the Phillies won the World Series (did you hear?), there is no more baseball and therefore no more need for me to write about sports until Mondays now. Until college basketball starts. (Sorry, I don't really follow the NBA or NHL. Except in the event that the Sixers and the Flyers make the playoffs.)
