Sports Notes

• An article about la Furia Roja. They have so much talent in the attack that it should be an interesting qualification and Copa Mundial.
• The Cats came back with a big win, proving what a terrible fan I am. I saw a few portions of the game and lost any hope of a positive result and didn't watch the end, you know, the last 5 minutes when they scored 2 TDs to take the win at home vs. my homestate of Arkansas (born in Monticello).
• The 'Boys lost again, leaving everyone flummoxed at the amount of talent and the lack of results. I'm not a huge NFL fan, leaving only a Cowboys run to interest me. That said, they haven't done a damn thing in the playoffs in a long time, so at least I won't waste Sundays in December on football.
• Real came back in a wacky game to win the Madrid derbi in dramatic fashion, in the 6th minute of stoppage play on a PK. Drenthe was taken down for the 2nd time in s.p. giving Higuain a chance to take the 1-2 win for Real, snatching victory from the jaws of a draw. Both teams played the entire 2nd half a man down, and this after Ruud scored in the 34th second- yes, second- to put Real up early. I missed it b/c I thought it was Sunday, and came in from 'L' soccer to watch the last 5 minutes including the winner.
• And finally, 'L's team lost Saturday and tied today to bring us close to a fall-season end of minor futility. I haven't seen a team suffer so at the hands of gods of fate in the while, so many lucky goals and so many unlucky bounces. As is said, you make your luck.
