Your World Series Game One Open Thread
Are you excited? Because we are excited. ("We" in this case refers to the Editor Emeritus of this webspace, who writes in that style, and not too many current staffers, because this series is to be played between two mostly uninteresting teams from the middle of the country that don't wear the right...
Your Dolphins-Jets Monday Night Football Open Thread
OK, we could go through the farce of pretending that this is an interesting game between two division rivals, and noting that although the Dolphins are 0-4, they've beaten the Jets in New York each of the last two years, and that Matt Moore is a semi-competent quarterback despite the lack of fanfare...
