Wow, that is some throw back.

I get a kick out these old uniforms that the NFL sports every now and then. This is what the Eagles are wearing today.

I am not sure when they wore these, maybe the early 1950s. They really are something, even down to the socks.

What a weekend for sports. There were a bunch of great football games yesterday including the Appalachian State win and then to cap it off Red Sox rookie Clay Buchholz threw a no hitter against the Orioles in just is second major league appearance.

Crazy action and maybe it can provide a bit of a spark for the Sox so they can finish a little stronger than they have been playing of late.

Many in the media long ago conceded the division to the Red Sox but a lot of Sox fans know nothing can ever be conceded until it is actually over.

The Yankees have had a phenomenal summer after a bad start and their catching the Sox is far from impossible.

The Mountaineers of Appalachian State, a 1-AA football school, beat number 5 Michigan, obviously a big D-1 program, 34-32 blocking a field goal on the last play of the game to hold on.

ESPN noted that this is the first time this type of upset has ever happened. Assuming that is correct that makes this the biggest upset ever.

Amusingly enough Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit were talking about the scheduling of these cupcake games.

This type of game says a lot about facing up to challenges, gutting it out and doing all you can to overcome the odds.

We may not always be successful in the challenges we take on but we can go all out with our effort.
