Well it’s been an interesting weekend I ran a 5K this weekend and came in about the middle of the pack on a cool sunny day.
But the real news was my football teams had a good weekend. Notre Dame knocked off Purdue 35-21 after last weeks lost. It was a nice to see them turn things around and play a very solid game. Next week they play Stanford and then UCLA both games are at home.
The Dallas Cowboys win big against the Titans 45-14 after a long week of being in the news about Terrell Owens and who knows what it was all about and will we ever know.
He had a good game a week after surgery on his hand with 5 receptions for 88 yards. But the news of the game was Terry Glen 54 receiving and 22 yards rushing and 2 TD’s.
I have to say that the NFL has had a lot of very close games so far this year. Just look at the box scores for this weeks games. As I write this Washington just beat Jacksonville 36-30 in overtime. Out of the 12 games played at this time 8 have been within 6 points that has made for a lot of excitement.

Another week of the chase and it has mixed things up again and a interesting finish in Kansas. Talk about gas management with Tony Stewart taking the checked flag out of gas and still winning. He’s out of the chase but still in the running for the million dollars. Jeff Burton leads the chase over Denny Hamlin by 69 points and Mark Martin 70 in third.
Jeff Gordon was the big loser today and he dropped 4 spots to 6 and 120 points back.

Next year in Nascar there will be some changes in the car for some races and the introduction of Toyota. The new car is being called the car of tomorrow and it is being tested this year. Next year it will run in 16 of the 36 races on selected tracks.
The entry of Toyota into Nascar is also big news and a lot of money going to be dropped into racing. I have added a picture of the new Toyota for the 2007 season.
