Being a follower of football and baseball, I had a few big games to keep up with this weekend. Yesterday the undefeated and favored University of Florida Gators turned the ball over six times to rival Georgia en route to a tough 17-9 loss. Too bad, but they're a good team and should do well for the remainder of the season. On the plus side, the San Francisco Giants, the team I'm pulling for in this year's baseball World Series, won and gained a 3-0 lead, with only a win to go to sweep their opponent the Detroit Tigers. Then today came and with it two NFL contests concerning my favorite teams, the Miami Dolphins and the New York Giants.
Both teams were involved in contests with divisional rivals... and they won! The Dolphins' 30-9 victory over the New York Jets was more surprising because of their unexpected dominance. Now Miami is solidly in second place in the AFC with a 4-3 record with good playoff prospects so far. And the Giants outlasted their rival the Dallas Cowboys in a close game 29-24. They are leading the NFC East with a 6-2 record.
Finally, the fourth World Series game just ended. San Francisco's ten-inning win over Detroit gave them a Series sweep. Whoopee!
I wouldn't be too concerned about the Gators with their loss, even though it may eventually keep them from playing Alabama for the SEC championship. After all, just avoiding having to play Alabama may have been a desirable result...
