BRUCE A. BRENNAN BLOG FROM THE WORLD AND MY MIND
The news as I see it and the views as I want them.
October 23 is … National Mole Day
Is today for ‘Deep Throat’ or for the little mouse-like creature?
The St. Louis Cardinals 16 Texas Rangers 7; Cardinals lead the World Series 2 games to 1. How much money do you think Albert Pujols made for himself Saturday night, four games or less before he becomes a free agent?
Men’s College Basketball is just around the corner. With the Bears going nowhere and Bryant Gumbel starting a race war in professional basketball, it could be a great and profitable year for college basketball. The first rankings just came out.

Just three Big Ten teams are ranked. Illinois and Northwestern did not get any votes. The rankings will change but, like every year, the usual suspects are highly ranked even though an early rank does not mean you will make the final four in March.
Just a couple of thoughts I had and you should too or at least think about.
