Congratulations to the San Francisco Giants on winning the World Series. Though I wasn't very invested, I couldn't help pulling for the Royals, as baseball makes by far the least effort of the four major American sports to balance the playing field for teams in smaller markets, making most of the teams underdogs (historically five teams have won more than half the 109 World Series). Also, its completely inappropriate for championship celebrations to result in violence, so reports of shootings and a stabbing as a result of this are very upsetting.

And with the Knicks getting blown out in their season opener, I remind all pool participants that it's time to get NFL Week Nine picks in.
