Norts spews.

I feel like I am obligated to say something about the Houston Astros winning the World Series.

With that out of the way, I wanted to mention my Theory of Compensatory Suckage.

The Astros won the World Series. The Houston Texans are 1-6-1 so far this season, which gives them the worst record in the NFL at the moment. The Houston Rockets are currently 1-9, which is the worst record in basketball at the moment. Seems like everything balances out.

In other news: Frank Reich out as head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.

40-34-1 over roughly four and a half seasons.

… the coach’s tenure in Indianapolis began to go wrong when Reich “stuck his neck out” for the team to bring in Carson Wentz in 2021, a decision that ultimately led to a potential playoff team’s collapse in the final two games, and the collapse of a 2022 team that many national experts picked to win the AFC South ultimately ended Reich’s tenure, nine games into his fifth season.

The triggering event seems to have been the Colts losing 26-3 to New England on Sunday, and putting up 121 yards of offense in the process.
