Dallas vs. Pats analysis plus MLB's worst nightmare

For Frances: Dallas wasn't ready for the Pats. Their coach chickened out on a 4th and goal call and kicked a field goal instead of going for a TD to get them back in the game. The Boys are still having a good season though. They should make the playoffs and might even win the NFC.

As for baseball, the Red Sox are on life support and it looks like the MLB ratings apocalypse will soon be upon us. The Indians vs. the Rockies. In NY, no one even knows that baseball is still happening. Every day, it's will Joe get fired? Will Don Mattingly be the new manager or maybe Joe Girardi? Does it even matter? Until the Yanks figure out that their rotation is trash, their starting lineup too one dimensional, and that their post-season aura of invincibility was demolished long ago and can no longer carry them, Joe Torre or anyone won't be leading them to World Series. Nobody on that team is hungry for a World Series. The team that used to boast a ton of Mr. Clutches, from the Babe to Reggie Jackson to Paul O'Neill and Derek Jeter has become the team of A-Rod, the anti-clutch.

Back to the Sox for a last thought. They're going to go with their best pitcher, Josh Beckett, so they still have a chance. Cleveland's fan base is used to disappointment (see entire post-season history of Cavs, Browns and Indians), so if they lose the next game, the team and the fan base will start to get a "here we go again" feeling that the Boston fans used to have before they kicked that by killing the Yankees.
