Weekends Are For Champions

In a much welcomed diversion from baseball and football, Serena Williams ended the tennis season against older sister Venus Williams in the WTA Championships in Qatar. As seemed customary this year, Serena emerged the victor over Venus. Serena played it cool, after showing out months prior at the U.S. Open, and instead celebrated her Sony Ericsson Champsionship win with a simple fist pump, a la Tiger Woods.


In November, one can only turn a blind eye to football for but so long, so along we go to football updates. Most notably in college football, Texas beat Oklahoma State, who is missing key wide receiver Dez Bryant, due to ineligibility. Texas is now ranked #2 in the AP Poll, ousting Alabama who held the spot for like forever. Oregon put a dagger in the heart of USC. Been there? In the NFL, the Baltimore Ravens did the honors and finally defeated the Denver Broncos. The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints, on the other hand, can update their Facebook status with something obnoxious about still being unbreakable. Brett Favre's own might read: Current age: 40. Record with new team: 6-1. Getting booed upon my return to Lambeau field and beating my old team: Priceless.

Speaking of priceless, action on the diamond resumed in game 4 of the Major League Baseball World Series. The NY Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies kept it interesting with a tie game at the top of the 9th inning, but the Yankees eventually slid in a few, winning 7 to 4. The Yanks are up 3 games to 1 and need one more win to be the champs. Philly is thinking otherwise. Game 5 is Monday at 8 p.m. EST.
