Here's your quick Sports Weekend Wrap:
Shockingly, everything in the NFL looks exactly the same as last year. Steelers' defense is THAT GOOD; good enough to keep them in games so they can pull it out in the fourth quarter, even with no running game. Willie Parker still can't break a tackle. Browns showed a little promise in the first half, only to resort to the penalty-ridden, swiss-cheese defense that landed them at 4-12 last year. Peterson living up to the hype, just tossing tacklers out of his way ...
Ohio State dominated the entire game against Southern Cal ... until they decided to just quit playing on USC's final drive. Even when the Trojans scored with 1:10 left, I thought the Buckeyes had plenty of time to move the ball 40 yards and boot a field goal to send it to overtime. Then Terrelle Pryor shit himself. This guy ain't all he's cracked up to be. Also, everyone thought it was crazy when Dino was calling for Jimmy T's head last year, now everyone's jumping on board. I love the guy, but when's the last time you saw Florida score less than 20 points?
Kent State is a football-breeding powerhouse. My good buddy and fellow Golden Flash alumn Edgar made a good point: there are three former Golden Flashes in the NFL that are currently the best at their position (Antonio Gates, Josh Cribbs and James Harrison). Pretty ironic for a football program that hasn't had a winning season since 2001.
And finally, thanks to Wheatley's Spartan Helmets for ruining an otherwise decent weekend at the sportsbook. You come in -15 to the Chippewas and lose?
Sorry about the Spartans...that hurts.
