Manning vs. Manning
In the past two weeks there have been so many new developments in the sports world that I will only have time to discuss the most important ones. But as a highlight I will point out a few
1. Agassi retires from Pro Tennis after a career spanning 21 years including the most coveted of prizes a Golden Slam.
2. Michael Schumacher retires from Formula 1 after this season is over, after a stunning career spanning a decade and winning the Formula 1 crown 7 times and on track to capture the 8th.
3. Ohio State won the No.1 vs. No. 2 battle over Texas.
As the week comes to an end tonight with Manning vs. Manning on NBC, it only seems fair that the affairs of the past week were as momentum building as tonoght's matchup and there is no doubt in my mind that they were.
Starting with the EPL, Manchester united mantained their complete dominance over the table as they won at home over the spurs. Although I think that the spurs should not be woeful as they put up one hell of a fight before they lost to Manchester United. Arsenal continued their dismal performance as they barely equalised at home to Boro. Even the new transfer of William Gallas could not help lift the Gunners. As the weeks pass by Arsene Wenger a quicksand feeling overcomes the players and the coach. Next week won't be as easy either as Manchester United comes to the Emirates Stadium. It was the first time for West ham United to show off the talent that they acquired only a few weeks ago, and they didn't disappoint as they overcame a first half deficit over Aston Villa and equalised, with Macherano coming coming over in the second half. West Ham is on its way to building one aggressive mid field. The rest of the matched were a reflection of last week as Fulham's American duo (Bocanegra & Brain McBride) won over Newcastle. Portsmouth continued their dominance on the top followed by Everton. Overall the table remained unchanged this week, but as the season boils down to December, the race will become tight, so stay tuned.
The college games were unbelievable as Ohio State beat Texas as probably everyone knows and saw the game. Let me focus on the games that I thought were great other than the primetime game. With Oklahoma finally coming out and winning over Washington State, but as in the last week their performance this week also seemed a bit shaky and with concerns still looming over the quarterback position it seems unlikely that Oklahoma will win the Red River shootout (despite the presence of Adrian peterson). Notre Dame continued its dominance this week over PSU as they removed some cobwebs from last week and won over decisively. With SEC dominating again this week, seems SEC is the conference to beat this time again (even though none of the teams has won a championship in the past few years).
So overall the week was a great one for sports and we can be sure that there is more to come with the Basketball season starting in October.
