While Sundays in fall are usually reserved for watching football, there is something much bigger going on tonight. The house that Ruth built, Yankee Stadium, is hosting its final game in its 85 year life. It's been the home of 26 World Championships, Monument Park, Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Rodger Marris, Lou Gehric, Yogi Berra, and countless others. It's hosted the Pope, boxing matches featuring Muhammad Ali, and was the setting of the memorable "Win One for the Gipper" speech. It was their for the United States after 9/11. So as Andy Pettite throws the last first pitch in stadium history, we bid adu to a national treasure.
Yankee Stadium is a baseball cathedral, and the moments that have taken place there will last a lifetime. Goodbye, Yankee Stadium.

Saying Goodbye to Yankee Stadium

Dolphins Running Wild
In a very unexpected development the Miami Dolphins lead the New England Patriots 21-6 at half time. Led by three rushing touchdowns from Ronnie Brown and little trickery from the offense the Dolphins are looking less and less like a team that has won just once in their last twenty regular season games.
Matt Cassel and the Patriots will need to get their acts together in the second half if they want to avoid the upset.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday
Here we are once again! Its week 3 of the NFL schedule. Be sure to check in with WAY Back Sports all day for the latest NFL news.
This week's top match-ups include:
Dallas Cowboys (2-0) at Green Bay Packers (2-0)
Aaron Rodgers faces his first real test as he takes on what may believe to be the best team in the entire National Football League.Jacksonville Jaguars (0-2) at Indianapolis Colts (1-1)
Traditionally a tough match-up between AFC South foes. The Jags will be looking to ride their high powered running game to their first victory. The Colts will look to build upon last week's victory over the Vikings. Dallas Clark will be back for the first time this season for the Colts, only improving an already powerful offense.New York Jets (1-1) at San Diego Chargers (0-2)
Its may seem a little premature to say this but this game could be the make or break point in the season for the Chargers. 0-3 is a hole that they just may not be able to overcoming. With LT questionable there will be a lot of pressure put on the arm of Philip Rivers.Posted by WAY Back Sports at 12:53 PM 0 comments
