Quote of the day
"We need to regroup." -- Oakland QB Carson Palmer, after a 28-0 home loss to Kansas City

Daily blurb
Before the start of the season, last night’s Super Bowl XLIV rematch must have looked like a pretty good one from NBC’s perspective. Oops. I wonder how the Colts would be doing this year if Peyton Manning were playing? Is he the whole difference? Or was the team on the downslope anyway, and his absence is just one of several problems? Regardless, last night’s effort was a fumbler, a bumbler, and a humbler.

If you are going to give up 16 runs in a pair of World Series games, the Rangers did it the best way – losing 16-7, then winning 4-0. Tonight’s game-5 seems like it could be the ultimate decider, but historical records suggest that MLB game-5 winners (taking a 3-2 lead) only win the series 70% of the time, so while a win would certainly be helpful, it’s not critical. Based on historical results, the Rangers would have a 62.5% chance of winning the series if they win tonight. A Cardinal win would propel them to a 77% chance of winning (since the last two games will be in St. Louis). But neither of those suggests that tonight’s loser is necessarily toast.
