If you were outside partaking in a glorious day's worth of weather Sunday, you missed some good action in NASCAR, the NFL and even Formula 1 (for a change).
Wunderkind Lewis Hamilton of disgraced McLaren/Mercedes (an engineer from the team was found with a 900-page document outlining Ferrari plans/test results/etc., a few weeks ago and banished from the Constructor's Championship. Why their drivers are still allowed to score in the Driver's Championship can only be attributed to creative law interpretation and ... oh yeah ... money.) won his first race in the rain at Japan. The race saw some incredible duels (on and off road) that made the event well worth watching — the latter three words rarely used in Formula 1. Kudos to Hamilton.
The NASCAR race in Kansas got off to a slow start in the rain as well, but the end result was a controversial win for Greg Biffle (he may or may not have run out of gas and thus ... never mind), a great second place run by homeboy Clint Bowyer and great runs by Johnson and Gordon as well. As has been the pattern recently, seven of the Chase participants crashed out including the ever petulant Tony Stewart, who probably shouldn't have been on the track when his tire cut. This was a race worth watching for the last 50-or-so laps sprint to darkness (the race was called on account of sundown). A good one.
Then there were the Giants, who recorded 12 sacks against the previously dominant Eagles. Six by Ossie Uemenyora (excuse the spelling ...I'm in a rush). The offensive performance was so-so (by both teams. The final was 16 -3), but the Giant defense looked like the kind of defense we Giant fans expect. LT was at the game which made the sack performance even more special.
I think the Mets lost. Not real sure what that means, but I think they're out of the playoffs, though I could be wrong.
