First, I need to address the absolute collapse of my Yankees. That Game 2 loss was as painful a defeat as losing to the Sox in '04, the Diamondbacks in '01, and the Mariners in '95. My longtime Yankee pal Richie summed them up the best I thought when he said "the Yanks are built to win 95 games not 11." It's the truth, they can't get over the hump in the first round of the playoffs nevermind win the entire 11 games needed to be crowned champion.

But that leads to my second topic; Joe Torre. They absolutely cannot let this guy leave the organization. First and foremost, if Torre is not in the dugout than it is highly possible that neither will Mariano Rivera, and that is just unacceptable. Also, every one on that team respects him and they love to play for him. Torre was not the reason they lost in the ALDS, it was their lack of pitching and two-out hitting. They wouldn't have even been the Wild Card team if it wasn't for Torre. It's funny how no one gave Torre any credit when the Yanks were winning. I truly believe that number 6 will be back next year because if he wasn't, the Yankees would have already made the decision instead of dealying it.

I am in pain already before I type this. Tom Brady is far and away the best player in the NFL. There I said it, now get off my back! It is just ridiculous what he has done this year. I will never say he is better than Dan Marino, but he might be the second best quarterback I've ever seen play. Brady is so accurate with his throws and he really does have a cannon for an arm. I don't think any other QB in the NFL now compares with what he does. I know some of you will argue Peyton Manning, but did you ever really sit and watch how Manning throws. He puts his whole body into the throw and kind of pushes the ball. Brady does it effortlessly, just like Marino did for so many years. I hope I am jinxing the Pats right now, cause it doesn't look like they will lose the rest of the year.

Finally, let's talk Husky football. What a game on Saturday against Virginia. It was a game that I thought they had no shot to win and in the last quarter I was really confident that they would pull out the victory. A fumbled snap by Tyler Lorenzen eventually ended that dream, but this team really has something going. Now, I'm not thinking crazy that they are going to win the Big East. But they are going to be a pain in the neck to a lot of Big East opponents the rest of the season.
