Sportsball over the past week(ish{ish}) 4: I Don't Know What's Real Anymore

Okay * sips hot cocoa and a takes a bite out of a cookie made by Swampmaster * here we GO

Baseball:

Nationals win World Series in game 7! No games were won at home by either team, which is the first time its ever happened. Unfortunately, the Houston Astros (losers of the World Series) have been seemingly busted for using cameras and signals to steal pitch and batting signs from their opponents. Not a good look for America's past time. Neither is this photo of the National's players getting shitfaced in the box seats of the NHL team's home game after winning.

College Football:

Minnesota Gophers are the Cinderella team of the year, shown in this past week's victory of #4 ranked Penn St. Coach PJ Fleck is now a GOD in the Northern Tier. After the game, the entire stadium rushed the field in celebration, one of my favorite happenings in college sports. THE Ohio State defensive star, and Heisman hopeful Chase Young, was suspended for 4 games in a very odd story. He allegedly took out a loan (from a tOSU booster???) to "fly his girlfriend out to a game"...he claims to have long since repaid the loan.

NFL:

I am biased and that is okay! With that being said, Game of the Year so far has to be this past Monday's game between the Seattle Seahawks and the Undefeated San Fran 49'ers. This game had incredible plays and moments sprinkled throughout, and the game eventually went into overtime. This game was so close, that even the overtime coin toss is under scrutiny (NFL OT rules heavily favor whoever wins the coin toss) In the end, the 'Hawks won by literal inches.

There has been a new NFL mythos established, THE CAT. He is fast, he is nimble, he is love, he is life, he is C U R S E D.

Lamar Jackson is also doing butts crazy things to the NFL. Looks like he's playing Madden on Rookie mode. Thankfully one of his teammates has a "body by Taco Bell"

Also, don't play fantasy football. It takes up way too much of one's time and I am very bad at it and I am taking my anger out on my own stupid decision on fantasy football as a whole and not my own actions. But hey, at least I'm not this guy.

Hockey:

Canadian ICON Don Cherry has fired by TSN Don't worry, my Bubba Keg still up though.

Okay, I have finished my cup of hot cocoa, now time to transition to a cold drink.

See you in a week! (hold me to this swampdaddy)

No it was genuine. He is a national hero in Canada, the same way John Madden is. Firey/controversial coach who "retired" after the times passed them by.

For reference here's what he said: “You people [new immigrants] love our way of life, love our milk and honey. At least you could pay a couple of bucks for poppies or something like that. These guys paid for your way of life that you enjoy in Canada.”
