Derek Jeter tips his cap
after his 200th hit for
8 seasons tied with
Lou Gehrig

The MAC Conference had the Grid Iron all to itself last night in college football as Kent State battled Buffalo and Kent State wasted no time in putting points on the board as they scored at the 12 minute 18 second mark and pretty much never looked back as the manhandled Buffalo 23-7 they rushed for almost 240 yards as Dri Archer had 127 yards and a score and Trayion Durham had 112 yards.

Major League baseball had plethora of games on the diamond last night starting with American League as the Toronto Blue Jays lost to the New York Yankees 4-2 as Andy Pettitte wins in his first game back and Derek Jeter tied Lou Gehrig for the most 200 hit seasons with eight and Ichiro Suzuki, the Detroit Tigers blasted the Oakland A’s 6-2 as Miguel Cabrera belts his 41^st homer, the Minnesota Twins got past the Cleveland Indians 6-4 as Josh Willingham belts his 35^th homer and drove in 4 RBI’s, in the 2^nd game between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays, the result were the same, just with a different score as the Yankees defeated the Blue Jays 2-1 as Ichiro Suzuki put in work with 4 hits during his 4 at bats, the Boston Red Sox was literally spanked by the Tampa Bay Rays 13-3 as Carlos Pena went yard and the Red Sox clinch a losing record, while the Chicago White Sox were SHUT OUT by the Kansas City Royals 3-0, the Texas Rangers powered past the LA Angels 6-0 and after 18 innings of ball on Tuesday night, the Baltimore Orioles and Seattle Mariners played more extra innings last night with a total of 11 as the O’s notch 3-1win with Adam Jones knocking out his 30^th home run.

The ladies only had one game on the hard court last night as the Indiana Fever lost to the Connecticut Sun 73-67 as Kara Lawson poured in 23 points and 9 in the 4^th quarter to lead her team to victory.

For your NFL Quick Hits, as the NFL replacement refs are taking a bath in criticism, the numbers just don’t lie as there is not a major difference than the regular officials such as:

•           The average number of penalties per game is down from 15.2 to 14.7.

•           On player-safety calls, such as roughing the passer; unnecessary roughness, including hitting defenseless players; and face-mask or horse-collar violations, the calls are nearly even: 75 this year, 74 last.

•           Instant replay reviews are way up, an increase of 16. But the percentage of reversals is way down: 23 this year out of 62 as opposed to 21 of 46 in 2011.

•           Defensive pass interference and illegal contact penalties are up, but only from 48 to 51, surprising because of the hubbub raised on the airwaves about the lack of such calls

Washington Redskins receiver Joshua Morgan felt the full downside of the social media age this week, receiving death threats and other vicious messages on Twitter because of his fourth-quarter blunder in the loss to the St. Louis Rams, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Golden Tate was fined $21,000 for a blindside block on Dallas Cowboys linebacker Sean Lee, a source said, and finally, in a feel good story, Brian Banks dream of the playing professional football has come true as he has signed with the Las Vegas Locomotives of the United Football League, after being exonerated for a rape conviction and spending five years in prison.
