Bad Bad Weekend

Today Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon died Sunday at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. He was involved in a fiery 15 car pile up shortly after the race started. He was 33 years old and had won two races in the Indianapolis 500. The crash happened when two cars bumped tires and caused many more cars to collide. This was tragic for the sport of racing as it is for any sport that has someone pass away while competing
The Detroit Tigers lost in the ALCS to the Texas Rangers 4-2 in a best of 7 series which means they are done for the year. It was a tough loss since they got pounded 5-15 it just seemed like nothing could go right, but over all it was a great season with the tigers winning their division for the first time in a long time. I think if they can go into the off season and keep most of their good players they will be just as good next year.

Also the Michigan Wolverines lost to their in state rivals the MSU Spartans this weekend. It was the Spartans 4th win in a row against the Wolverines. The Wolverines play against Purdue next Saturday and they need to regroup from a tough loss and have a great game to get back on track so they can crush Ohio State the last week of the season.

To top off the horrible weekend the Detroit Lions were given their first loss of the season my the San Francisco 49'ers in a great game that ended up with a score of 19-25. The Lions have been making come backs all season and they finally came up short, and i think this will make them realize they can be beat and now they need to play hard so they can win the rest of their games and make the play offs!
