Random Thoughts From The Weekend That Was

Looking back, it was not so surprising that league winners New York and Philadelphia were eliminated in the first round of the baseball playoffs. In the past 21 seasons, the team with the most victories in the regular season has won the World Series only three times. 

Quarterback Kellen Moore has a 43-2 record as the Boise State starter. The Broncos are now 114-13 in the past ten years.
