Did you get the top 13 sir?

[Spark]

I keep forgetting these for you kb ... sorry buddy .....


Monday's List of 13, summing up the weekend's sports
13) Not often that a Sunday in October upstages NFL, but the Woods-Daly golf playoff was fun while it lasted, and Astros' win over Atlanta was longest playoff game ever. Throw in the relief appearance by Roger Clemens, and it becomes a game that will be remembered for a very long time.

12) How great is Daly? He outdrives Woods by 11 yards with his drive on 18th hole, then reaches down, picks cigarette up and walks on down the fairway. How great is golf?

11) I look at the Braves' team, and instead of criticizing them for losing a playoff series, I wonder how the hell they ever got into one.

10) Should have known that an offense with Paul Hackett as a coach (Bucs) wouldn't score TD in visit to the Jets.

9) David Carr is this generation's Archie Manning; the guy is a human freakin' pinata, and his play has suffered. You see it, and realize what Archie was trying to avoid when he vetoed Eli Manning playing for Chargers, although San Diego has become a good team.

8) If I were Dom Capers, I'd be updating the ol' resume. in 4 games, his Texans have zero takeaways.

7) Colts 28, 49ers 3; sounds boring, but that is what the good and great teams do; they take care of business, and move on.

6) Watching their game in Denver, Redskins are better team that I thought. Mentally tough, wouldn't give in. They were only team of the 30 who played Sunday that didn't go 3-and-out once; they moved the chains all day long.

5) Field position champs Sunday were Dallas and Seattle, who both had 17-yard advantages in their games, and both won. it is a huge stat, average starting field position.

4) Total yardage in Philly-Dallas game: 456-129. Seriously ugly performance for the Eagles.

3) The Mexico City Cardinals are now 0-4 in this country, but still unbeaten south of the border.

2) Colts are only unbeaten team, Texans only winless club.

1) I may be wrong on this, but if Donovan McNabb were in Michael Vick's shoes this week, he finds a way to suit up and play when the world champs visit his house.
