Sports

What a great sporting weekend this has been.  The Utes win over UCLA was a great way to start the weekend, but the football games today were just wonderful.  First Peyton plays an awesome game against the evil empire and Tom Brady, who by the way scores at least a 9 on his contribution to the loss with the many overthrows he made, then the team that spurned Alex Smith got burned.

I couldn't be happier to see the 49ers lose  but the way they lost was just so sweet.  Seeing Kaep fumble then throw two interceptions to finish the game was just so enjoyable.  I'm not a big Seattle fan, but I might have even cheered for Tom Brady over the 49ers.

On that note why don't we question Crabtree's miraculous recovery from ACL surgery?  Is there any question these athletes are juicing?  I read an article the other day comparing Crabtree to Lindsay Vohn.  They are both world class athletes with all the latest technology to help in their recovery.  One is in the NFL that has shown over and over again that the number one priority is keep their stars on the field regardless of the risk, the other is in the olympics that has the most rigorous drug testing protocol anywhere.  One started playing 2 months ago, 10 months after the initial knee injury, the other just pulled out of the olympics 14 months after her initial injury.  Really?  The big question is how have the NFL and NBA escaped the PED controversy while MLB and cycling have gone down in flames?
