So, was that, like, the weirdest play you’ve ever seen in any sporting event last night? In case you missed it, Baltimore’s Chris McAlister returned a missed field goal 108 yards with no time on the clock to end the first half against Denver. Longest play ever in the NFL. Bizarre.

Arizona Fall League begins play tonight. Several Padres are represented. I doubt I’ll get a chance to make it out there again this year. Too bad; it’s a blast.

Not much on my mind today. I’m having trouble getting into the playoffs this year. Basically I’m rooting for the Twins and, failing that, anyone but the Yankees and the Diamondbacks. I think that’s the problem; I still haven’t gotten over the World Series. Why couldn’t they have tied?
