LOOK OUT FOR OUR NEW MULTIMEDIA WEB SITE! IN THE MEANTIME, ENJOY OUR WATERCOOLER CHATS: DAILY UPDATE

It was a slow day in the sports world, but there’s always something out there:

NFL

First, lets take a quick poll.  There are only 2 undefeated teams left in the NFL.  The Tennessee Titans and the New York Giants.  Could either of these teams sweep the season?  Is the possibility of a perfect season upon us… again? (albeit lets just forget last year’s Super Bowl in that question).  Either way, which team do you think has the best chance of going undefeated?  The Titans have the league’s best defense, and the Giants seem impeccable.  They haven’t played a close game yet.  However, they play in the toughest, most competitive division in football:  the NFC East — home to the Cowboys, Eagles, and surging Redskins.  So, in a reader poll, who’s gonna slip-up first?

College Football

Finally, down in Texas, the start is on fire as the No 5 Texas Longhorns get ready for their annual showdown against the Oklahoma Sooners.  And this game has HUGE implications.  Texas looks amazing this year, with the improved play of their Quarterback, Colt McCoy.  And Oklahoma, well.. they’re #1.  And both these teams hate it when they’re NOT #1.  The rivalry fire is in its embered state right now, but by week’s end, it will be an inferno.

Basketball

Elsewhere, the Washington Wizards can’t seem to get any better.  They are returning next season with practically the same roster as the two previous seasons, but last night they got another kiss of bad luck.  Their all-star forward, Antwan Jamison, sprained his knee in a pre-season game against the Dallas Mavericks.  He is now out indefinitely.  The Wizards are an offensive team led by Gilbert Arenas and Caron Butler.  But Jamison is the backbone.  Without him, they could seriously fall to the bottom of the standings.

Baseball

The Phillies have decided on their starting pitcher against the ruthless Dodgers.  They’re going with young Cole Hamels.  He gave an incredible performance against the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1, and that really set the tone of the series.  Under his domination, it was almost as if the Phillies said, ‘Yeah, sorry Milwaukee, we’re winning this thing, and there’s nothing you can do about it’.
