When Mike Brown was given his pink slip after only 5 games, it was one of the quickest (and lame duck) firings in history (of any sport)..And once the fans started chanting, "We want Phil, we want Phil" it looked like a foregone conclusion that they would be dusting the amazing Luxury Chair they pull out for Jackson while everybody squishes together on the sideline...But as fast as a Nash steal to a driving Kobe slam, D'Antoni signed a deal (3 years, 12 M) in which he had convinced the Lakers that his offense and his prowess could get them to a NBA Title... Just one question. What in the hell is Lakers Management doin'? They sidestep Phil Jackson (and Brian Shaw!) for Mike D'Antoni? Did they not see what happened to him in New York?
Trotwood continues to show its championship swag by pulling out a late comeback against Winton Woods; Down 20-7, they come back to win 27-20 in OT, (led by RB Israel Green) and a key late pick..Thurgood just dismanted Galia 69-9 to move into a rematch with Springfield Shawnee for a trip to State...This Cougar team is quite possibly the best ever to come out of Colonel White, and depending on how they do this season, maybe better than the Roth teams in their Keith Byars heyday
(3) Bengals end slide against champs; 3 QB's taken out from concussions Week 10 NFL
The Bengals ended their 4 game slide by beating up on the Giants; Andy Dalton threw for 4 TD's to get them back into playoff race (4-5).. Starting QB's Alex Smith (S.F), Mike Vick (Phi) & Jay Cutler (Chi) was knocked out of game this week; none of their teams won, while the 49ers and Cards tied at 24....Texans win in the Statement game of the week @ Chicago 13-6 and knocking Cutler out of the game on a vicious hit.
(4) Alabama Loses, now opens door for new Champion outside SEC
Alabama takes a loss at home to the newcomer of the league, as Texas A&M stops the Crimson Tide winning streak. Wonder if the Alabama QB cried after this game too....Not sure why he was crying after a win, but you have to cry after a loss too right? Anyways, now Notre Dame, Kansas St., and Oregon are the only undefeated teams....I can just hear the groans of the Southeast every time I see a shiny helmet and a leprechaun running around after a Irish TD. Who wins the championship? Im betting on Oregon.
(5) Dayton Knights hold hoop tryouts for new season
