Give both teams three months off and the Sox still dominate. They are definitely the better team.

However, start the WS the very next day after the ALCS and I bet it's a coin flip as to who wins.

I'd also like to see only one week between Championship games and the Superbowl.

The Superbowl needs to go away. A 60 minute game that takes 4 hours to play with some ghey assed half time show in a dome or a tropical location is not real football.

Conference championships are the pinnacle of the season for me.

Oh, SNAP!

Not to derail too much, but I would like to see the system they talked about on ESPN for college football. Take all the conference champs and divide them up like the NCAA Final Four. Then break out the bowls as brackets. Higher paying sponsor, higher the contest.

Do a 4 week bowl championship playoff and be done with it. The teams that aren't in a conference get either lumped together, or divided by region depending on how many.

You have to remember those guys on the football team are students and more games because of a playoff could hurt their studies.;)

Neither Stanford, nor Notre Dame are making any playoffs anytime soon, so real students are protected.

I remember reading that Matt Leinart was taking 1 class during the fall semester of his final season at USC- ballroom dancing. I bet he was able to keep up with the coursework, regardless of how grueling the football season got.

I wonder if he took it pass/fail credit only?

He'll be able to rely on that course as the baseline for when he's washed up ....just like Emmitt and Jerry...

I don't know why everyone is saying the World Series was boring. I thought it was simply fantastic. :D

Two titles in four years? WTF is going on here?
Click to expand...
The only people who thought it was exciting were Red Sox fans. And most of them are too busy fellating that idiot Manny Ramirez to be able to tell if a series is exciting.

SO how were the streets around your Hotel ? I hope you went out and tried to wander over to Kenmore Sq.

I wasn't out too late...my hotel was in Cambridge. I was out until 9:30 or so and the city wsn't really that crowded at all. I think all the partying you see on the news was pretty much the Fenway area.

There were a bunch of people piled in my hotel lounge though watching the game.

I picked up a few Boston Globes. WOO HOO, 50 cent souvenir! :D

Last night was pretty fun, hung out at the Cask N Flaggon(for those not native, you can see the sign for the CasknFlaggon over the left field Green Monster at fenway during the games). Here's a little video I took with my still camera during the last pitch:
Red Sox Win the World Series, from the Cask N Flaggon

Got out of the area pretty quickly with a lot of other fans as the destructive morons came stumbling in.
