A Coma Inducing Weekend

This weekend was possibly the most loaded four days of sports I have ever had the pleasure of viewing.

Thursday night was a freakish reminder that the Red Sox don't know the definition of the word defeat even though I still want the Rays to go on and win the World Series.

Friday I got to sit around and watch the Sharks play the Anaheim Ducks, even thought they lost. There were some great hits and scoring chances, but no goals.

Saturday was hectic to say the least. I was rooting for my college to defeat their division opponent and maintain first place. They were away, so as I sat in a bar eating dinner before going to the San Jose Sharks vs. the Philadelphia Flyers, I watched them on TV as well as game 6 of the ALDS, again with Boston showing that they will not accept defeat.

So we went to the Sharks game. Walking to get dinner I got to give a high-five to TV broadcaster and host of Shark Byte, Drew Remenda as well as one of my professors.

And as you might have seen from picture from my iphone above, I had amazing seats. Row 1 next to the penalty box. I was banging on the glass as Jody Shelley of the Sharks and Riley Cote of the Flyers got into a fight. You might be able to see me in my white jersey around 27 second into the video. Also clapping when they show Shelley after being separated.

It was a great game and the sharks won in overtime.

Then after getting home late, I was off to the Oakland Raiders vs. the New York Jets in Oakland. I got there early and tailgated with my folks and my uncle Bob. And then again I witnessed a good game (wasn't that great) that also went into overtime. The Raiders won when kicker Sebastian Janikowski made a 57 yard field goal to win in overtime. That field goal being the longest in Raiders franchise history.

So I had a good weekend. My teams won except for the Sharks on Friday and the Rays on Thursday and Saturday, but ... the Rays won tonight and are going to the World Series.
