My goodness gracious. The University of Oregon scored the first 31 points of their Alamo Bowl game against Texas Christian and damn if the damned "Horny Toads" didn't score the next 31. Now they're in the second overtime tied at 38. Amazing.
City won today. And never did you read more deprecating words about a winner. They beat Watford 2-1and scored all three goals, the "Hornets'" on an Aleksandar Kolarov own goal. I watched the goal highlights after the match and texted both issue: "Wow, I just watched all 3 goals-I don't know WHAT Kolarov had on his mind. Yaya's strike-SOOO quick and powerful, BOOM! And Kun's header: exquisite."
Arsenal won, also unimpressively, beating hard-luck Newcastle 1-0 to keep the "Striped Prison Shirtings" in the relegation zone and themselves in first place. Leicester are second, City third.
Wayne Rooney scored for Manchester United to move into, I think, second place on the EPL all-time scorer's list and to give respite to embattled Louis Van Gaal. United beat Swansea.
Christian Hackenberg, the abused Pennsylvania ISIS quarterback, announced that he will become abused professionally after today's loss to Jaw-ga. Young Mr. Hackenberg wrote a very nice good-bye letter on Facebook where he thanked everyone at Penn State including former coaches and the water boy. Almost everyone. There was nary a mention of head coach James Franklin, now proud possessor of a four-game losing streak heading into next year.
And finally. The Florida "Panthers"...? Unless I am very much mistaken this is the first time this Broward County-based hockey club has ever been mentioned in these here pages. Because they SUCK, is the reason for that. But not at this particular juncture in this particular season. The "Panthers" beat the New York "Strangers" today 3-0 and it was their eighth win in a row, a club record. Florida is now in first place in the eight-team Atlantic division with 22 wins, 12 losses and 4 overtime losses...Don't get me started on how the NHL scores overtime losses.
Florida, when they were Miami-Dade County based had one brief shining moment, "The Year of the Rat," No, I didn't just make that up. No, I'm not going to explain it, when they scurried all the way to the Stanley Cup finals where they were summarily dispatched by the Colorado "Avalanches." The Year of Rat Scurrying was 1996. Since then, they've been back in their hole. Not this year. So far.
