Football

I didn’t see much of the game today. I looked in during the third quarter and saw the Bears had the Lions 24-10, and then I went back to bed. Now see the Lions scored 21 in the 4th quarter and beat the Bears, 31-30. That’s two wins in a row, and the season is now 3-6.

Yesterday, Michigan beat Nebraska, 34-3, but I didn’t see much of that game either.

Houston Astros Win It

The Houston Astros just won the World Series. I wonder if this is it for Justin Verlander’s career as a player. He’s reminding me of Kevin Costner’s character, Billy Chapel, in the movie “For the Love of the Game”. The other night when Verlander pitched to his former teammate, Nick Castellanos, it was like the scene from the movie, when Billy Chapel is pitching to his former teammate and he’s thinking, “When did we get so old?”

Also saw Michigan beat Rutgers 52-17. The Wolverines are now 9-0 for the season.
