We are Back!

Well Hello Everyone!

The Zone Coverage blog is back from Hiatus!

You are probably wondering where I've been since the football season in already onto week 5. Well I needed a new lap top as my "tank" finally decided not to turn on. Thanks Kimmers for the laptop it lived longer here than it would have there :). I now have this sleek ultrabook that I'm in love with. Mich and D-rock, I stuck with the PC maybe the next one will be a Mac something.

A friend on facebook made a comment a few weeks ago daring anyone to come up with a better 4 month span on the sports calendar than September to December, I'll even go 5 months with the playoffs in January. Football baby, Love it!

Football you say, yep! College football and the NFL are in full swing. So whats going on in both you might ask. These little conversation nuggets should help for any fall gatherings you may be attending.

• The NFL and its refs got a deal done and the real refs got standing O's on there return. This clip from CBS last week says it all about the state of the officiating and how happy teams and fans were to have these guy back. http://youtu.be/nnITnOjVs3Y. Sorry to those Packers fan for the loss that should not have been loss. I Could argue the same for my Patriots but its all in the past and we are moving on.

• The season so far seems sort of Topsy Turvy, that  the Saints are 0-4 says it all. Payton Manning is in Bronco orange and the NY Jets are falling apart (oh happy day). The Texans and the Falcons seem to be playing the best right now, we'll see if they can keep it up.

• As for college football its just fun to watch. I've got no real rooting interest in any team and  my UB Bulls are not very good. But if you were wondering, Alabama is still #1 and Geno Smith for West Virginia is in the Heisman conversation. The WVU Mountaineers and The Baylor Bears played last week and the final score looked like a basketball game. The mountaineers were not much better tonight but they won against Texas.

• A non football thought. Apparently baseball is still going on with the playoffs starting this weekend. In these parts we are thankful that the Red sox dreadful season is over. The dysfunction continues at Fenway, we shall see what they do in the hiring of a new manager.
