A big football game took place Sunday.
Liverpool defeated Chelsea at Anfield behind an eleventh hour brace from Fernando Torres (the man who led Spain past Germany in last year's Euro 2008 final to crown the Iberians as Europe's finest. I'll remind everyone that Italy are still campioni del mondo until South Africa next year.)
The Spaniard's first goal came in the 89th minute, and his double was completed just a blink of the eye later in the 90th. Today's match also saw Chelsea's Frank Lampard sent off with a straight red card following a dangerous tackle. The home victory keeps Liverpool breathing down the neck of holders Manchester United, just two points ahead.
Oh, and there's another big football game stateside in Florida, with Pittsburgh taking on the debutantes from Arizona. I'm picking the Steelers to win, but the Cardinals to cover the 6.5 points.

you're a genius
Of course I'm a genius.
Steelers win, Cardinals cover. Too bad the only real bet I had on the game was reversed while I was on my way to the bank. Just a $1 bet on Roethlisberger as the player to score the game's first touchdown at 18/1 odds. He scrambles, lunges for the goal line, and is awarded six points. Then, as I'm high-fiving and hoping the Steeelers hurry the hell up and kick the PAT, Whisenhunt throws the red hanky, the call is reversed, and the ball is spotted on the one-foot line. Perfect for a QB sneak up the middle, but I think that play call was avoided due to Roethlisberger's recent medical file resembling that of Eric Lindros. Should have put my $1 on some guy named Gary Russell - I'm sure his odds were stiffer than Roethlisberger's.
