Clearly,
Chelsea learned nothing about
Liverpool's heart from the
Reds' Champions League win in
Istanbul a couple years ago, and clearly, neither did I in figuring
Chelsea would easily hold on at home after a 3-1 lead they snatched on the road last week.
Liverpool dominated early, and gained confidence after two first half goals, but the
Blues rallied back to clinch a semi-final date with
Barcelona in
an incredible 4-4 tie...today,
Manchester United travel to face
FC Porto in a
game they must win, something no
English side has ever done at
Porto. Today is the day that changes. Banker bet it.
Arsenal also host
Villareal to sort out the other semi-final...the
NHL Draft lottery went last night, and the first overall pick goes to the
New York Islanders - the odds on fav - who you would assume draft
John Tavares. The
Toronto Maple Leafs will pick 7th, if
GM Brian Burke doesn't
move up. The
draft order can be seen here...funny thing about the
NFL schedule coming out last night is if you ask all your buddies, their teams are all going at least 10-6 and making the playoffs. Fun exercise: write which games your team will win or lose right now and look at how wrong you are come January. Turns out the
Buffalo Bills will be
hosting the New York Jets in Toronto, not the
Indianapolis Colts are believed. That will go December 3rd...building on yesterday's 60+ win story. All six of
Phil Jackson's previous winners of 60+ went on to win the
NBA title...thank you,
AJ Burnett, for pitching a gem - again - and netting a solid
PTP winner.
Burnett had a
no hitter going into the 8th and it blew up moments after I tuned in. No joke...the latest chink in the
Toronto Blue Jays pitching staff sees alleged #2 starter
Jesse Litsch head
to the disabled list...the
NHL playoffs starts tonight, and there's nothing better than the first round of the
NHL's tourney. Don't miss it...whatever happened to
Shonie Carter? Miss that spinning backfist...have a great Wednesday.
