Yesterday — Sunday, September 21
- Another rollicking NFL Sunday — As with most Mondays in the fall, this will be the dominant conversation topic among sports fans. Prepare yourself for water-cooler talk with our NFL One Liners that not only give you a little information about what happened in each game but also a line to say if asked what you think.
Line: The highlight of yesterday’s games was when the rematch of last year’s Super Bowl, between the Seattle Seahawks and the Denver Broncos, went into overtime. - Jeter’s last weekend game — Yankees star, Derek Jeter, has been on a retirement tour all season. Every last is celebrated. Yesterday, he had his last weekend home game at Yankee stadium. The Yankees won, 5-2 over the Blue Jays, and Jeter had a very good game.
Line: I’m glad Jeter is playing well again, it was a little sad when it looked like he’d be leaving the game playing so poorly. - Manchester United stink — Talking about the Yankees, the Yankees of British soccer, Manchester United, continues to have a nightmare of a season. They lost 5-3 to Leicester yesterday. This leaves them with one win in five games this season. That’s like the Yankees going 5-28 to start a season!
Line: The bigger they are, the harder they fall, eh… eh…?
