We all see the handwriting on the wall. The NBA season is done and we have a week or so left of baseball. The NBA and NHL seasons won’t be starting any time soon for the 2020-2021 season. There is still the NFL on the weekends and the Big Ten football season kicks off Saturday but these are weekend selections.

SU is a fan of college hoops and that should be starting in November with the early season tournaments. But the grim reality is that regular, weeknight sports viewing is going to come to a screeching halt very soon and we have to prepare. SU still has the election coverage for another 2 weeks (hoping that will be sufficient) but we all see the void on the horizon. Please pass along any new Netflix/Amazon viewing favorites in the Comments section to help us get through the darker, colder weeknights ahead.

SU did check out game 7 last night between the Braves and the Dodgers. Now, I can’t say that I was awake for the entire game but I did wake up for the 9th inning. I think the reality is, as long-time subscriber P. Bok said, that the Braves are a year away and this season was gravy. They remind me of the 2017 Yankees that lost to Houston in 7 games and the future was bright for that young team. Well, the Yankees are 3 years older and the future is not so bright now. The Braves need to go all out for 2021. They are a young, athletic team with a lot of players who can run, field and hit to all fields. They also have a manageable payroll for the time being.

Dodgers – Rays could be an interesting World Series. SU will tune in here and there but once the Yankees are eliminated, I don’t have the staying power for late night baseball. MLB can be happy that the 2 best teams in each respective League will face off this week. And with the extra playoff round this season, this was no gimme. Both teams are deserving.

Well, we actually have 1 win in NY for the two NFL Clubs. Thank goodness that Washington went for the win there in the closing seconds and the 2-point conversion. SU says that there was no way that the Giants were going to score again and playing for overtime would have been the better course there. The Texans also gambled yesterday with a 2-point conversion that statistically was not going to help much. Not a good move either. Such is the life of NFL coaches.

College football could have an exciting couple of months coming up I think. Assuming the players and coaches can stay healthy, of course.

SU is open to hearing about other entertainment options from the intergalactic subscriber base. The floor is open.
