Good on him for sticking with it though

Washington Redskins (3-8, LW: 27): The Skins kept it close, but couldn't stop the Eagles when it mattered. Jason Campbell has been OK given the state of the running game, but what a waste of a great defence.29. Detroit Lions (2-9, LW: 29): The Lions got stomped again on Thanksgiving, so what else is new Matthew Stafford should not have been playing in the fourth quarter, especially after the pick-six by Charles Woodson sealed the Packers victory. Good on him for sticking with it though.30. St Louis Rams (1-10, LW: 31): They move up a spot simply because they are being competitive in their games. Kyle Boller will likely wrap up the year, than it is time to draft a QB early. They need to get someone to take pressure off Steven Jackson.31. Cleveland Browns (1-10, LW: 32): Speaking of going nowhere...

The Browns get one of the worst Bengals performances of the year, and can't even keep close. Disgusting. They need to pick a QB (or draft one) and get some weapons for him over the offseason, or they will have consecutive last place finishes.. Putting your home on the market is usually a sign that you don't feel very good about your current situation, especially if you're a coach or a pouting, crybaby former Bronco quarterback. That seems to be the case in Minnesota, as local NBC affiliate Kare 11 ran a report on December 1 that coach Tim Brewster's home on Lake Minnetonka has been put up for sale. Is this a sign that Joel Maturi is ready to give Brewster his walking papersSpeculation has been running rampant around the Twin Cities about the Gophers football coach. Following another late season meltdown, the Gophers have failed to live up to expectations under Brewster yet again, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility that Brewster could be fired.Small problem with the Kare 11 report though. While rushing to break this hot news story, Kare 11 neglected to mention that Brewster's home had been listed for sale since September.It seems that Brewster put his home on the market prior to the season. Did he know that his team was going to sputter down the stretch Was Brewster able to see into the future and realize that his offense would fail to score a touchdown in the season's final two gamesLook, everybody makes mistakes. I'm not going to blame Kare 11 for this. They need ratings, speculation of a coaching change always draws in viewers, listeners or readers. The problem I have with the report is that it's just lazy, irresponsible journalism.I understand this is and will always be a Vikings town. Even more so when the Vikings are having a good season, as they definitely are this year. That doesn't excuse Kare 11 trying to stir up controversy over at the U.A simple look at the listing lets you know that it's been on the market for nearly three months. Did Kare 11 omit this detail intentionally, or was it left out of the report in their haste to be the first outlet to break this "news"Either way, anyone who saw the report shouldn't read anything into it. Brewster's not going anywhere, at least not now.. He started his professional baseball career in 1953 for the Shelby (NC) Clippers of the Class D Tar Heel League.Baseball-reference tells about the time the Little Rock Travelers didn’t score a run while Brunet was on the mound in 52 1/3 innings:Brunet was on the other end of the shutouts in 1957. That season, pitching for the Little Rock Travelers of the Southern Association, Brunet’s teammates failed to score in a 52 1/3 inning stretch in which he pitched. From June 21st (when Brunet improved to 10-3) till August 3rd, Little Rock never scored with Brunet as their pitcher. He lost 8 straight in that stretch and at 14-15 finished one loss shy of the league lead.

He did top the circuit with 235 strikeouts.Brunet played for 27 professional baseball teams not counting the Mexican League teams he played for which I couldn’t read at the Salon de la Fama page which lists Brunet as a Mexican Hall of Famer.He pitched his first minor league game at the age of 17 in 1953 and ended his career in 1985 at the age of 50. He went on to pitch for 27 teams in professional baseball.Brunet made his major league debut with the Kansas City Athletics in 1956 and would pitch his last game in 1971 for the St Louis Cardinals. He pitched for nine major league teams in 15 seasons.After leaving the majors Brunet pitched fourteen more seasons in the minor leagues with most of those seasons being in the Mexican League. He posted 3,175 minor league strikeouts to go with his 921 major league strikeouts for a total of 4,096 strikeouts in professional baseball.He pitched for 33 years in professional baseball and seldom had arm problems.Brunet was a participant in one of the wildest innings in major league history on April 22, 1959 when the Chicago White Sox scored 11 runs in the third inning:White Sox Score 11 RunsOn Only One Hit in 1959Apr 22, 1959 – The White Sox‚ down 6-1 after two innings‚ storm back and score 11 runs in the 7th inning on one hit; there are 3 errors‚ a near-record 10 walks‚ a HBP‚ stolen base‚ and single in the frame. Kansas City Athletics relief P George Brunet gives up 5 bases-loaded walks and a bases-loaded HBP‚ as the White Sox garner just one hit‚ by John Callison. Jim Landis makes 2 outs‚ both grounders to the pitcher‚ in the strange inning.

Nellie Fox drives in two runs in the inning‚ both times by walking. Fox does collect 4 hits in the game‚ while Aparicio has a 3-run homer. Hi all,No blog yesterday Too much work.Short blog today. Too much work. Ive got this book to write about a load of famous sports law cases, and its taking up all of my time and energy right now so UptheArse has been suffering. Im going to do a quick one today cause Id love to hear what everyone feels about Wengers remark that Arsenal will be active in the transfer window.Normally Wenger doesnt mark remarks of such rock solid certainty which is relieving, normally he deflects questions about his transfer activity like a Jedi deflects lazer bolts. However he stated today, without qualification, that Arsenal would be active in the January transfer light of Van Placentas injury In the past he has said things like: "There is money.. if we need it." "I would like to bring in someone...
