Weekend winners
Editor’s note: This week everyone below is playing for second place. We all know who won the weekend.
UTC. The Mocs are legit. On both sides. A one-sided whipping of VMI is not the reasoning for that statement. The dominance the Mocs have displayed is. And know this: UTC as multiple NFL players on its roster currently.
Philadelphia sports fans. Wow, the Eagles are a real Super Bowl contender and the lone unbeaten club in the NFL. And the Phillies just manhandled the Braves to get to the NLCS. Who knows, maybe this year they will even give Santa a polite golf clap during the holidays.
The Astros. We are in love with the Braves’ core. We are in awe of the Dodgers’ deep pockets. We know the Yankees print money and spend said printed money. Same with the Mets. But the best franchise in the MLB over the last handful of years is clearly the Astros, who made their sixth straight ALCS by sweeping Seattle over the weekend.
