Can't say much positive about the Chargers, other than statistically. So I'll talk about how much I like Drew Brees. It's no secret he's my favorite player in the NFL. If you look at his career quarterback rating, you might not think he's very good. Fortunately, that's a meaningless statistic. He's only had more interceptions than touchdowns one year (2003), and you can count on him to get at least 4000 yards in recent years. If he had better people to throw to, there'd be no stopping him.
Anyway, the Penguins are still doing well. Shootouts are kind of a crap shoot in terms of final result, so it's not a backbreaking loss. Still, to lose out on 2 points by blowing another 3rd period lead is disconcerting. The Rags will come back down to Earth sooner than later, and at any rate it's early in the season.
Lastly, while I'm glad the Devil Rays are in the world series, it sucks for the Orioles. A lot. 4 of the top 10 teams in the league sit in the AL East, which doesn't bode well for the O's. Fortunately, the Yankees might be on a downturn, and the Blue Jays can as easily be bad as good. And of course time will tell with the Rays.
No real substance to this entry. It's like I write for CNN or something...
