An advice column for people who live with people who live for sports
What happened on Sunday, November 23?
The NFL in all its glory: Yep, another full, full day of NFL football. If you were out enjoying the weather, check out our Week 12 NFL One Liners to catch up on all the games.
Major League Soccer semifinals: Major League Soccer’s semifinals are arranged as two game playoff series. Yesterday was the first half or leg of them in both the Western and Eastern conferences. In the East, the New York Red Bull lost 2-1 to the New England Revolution. After the Revolution jumped out to an early 1-0 lead, the Red Bull were able to tie the game up on a crazy scramble in front of the goal which involved a shot from a player lying on the ground hitting the cross bar and bouncing right to an open Bradley Wright-Phillips who headed the ball in. Jermaine Jones, one of the heroes of the World Cup for the U.S. this past year, put the Revolution ahead for good in the second half. In the West, the Los Angeles Galaxy beat the Seattle Sounders 1-0 thanks to a goal from Marcelo Sarvas and some clutch goalkeeping by Jaime Penedo. Line: Did you know the MLS semifinals started yesterday? Probably not because there was so much American Football on. What’s Next? The second legs of the semifinals are on November 29 and 30.
Memphis stomps on another team: The Memphis Grizzlies are 12-2 and have looked like a dominant NBA basketball team so far this season. Last night they stomped on another very good team, the Los Angeles Clippers, in a 107-91 rout. They’re led by Spanish big man, Marc Gasol, who scored 30 points and had 12 rebounds in the game. Line: Have you caught a Memphis game yet this year? They look seriously good.
