If you don’t renew somebody’s contract it’s the same thing as being fired isn’t it? Whatever you call it Joe Girardi won’t be back as manager of the Yankees next year. The Red Sox had more reason to get rid of John Farrell than the Yankees did in getting rid of Joe Girardi. Both deserved a better fate.
The Dont’A Hightower injury for the Patriots might be a tough one to overcome.
It’s wildcard weekend in high school football. I went 13-2 last week and stand at 95-26 overall. By the way why they are called wildcard games still baffles me. They are really quarterfinal games.

St. Johnsbury over CVU
Hartford over Colchester
BFA-St. Albans over Middlebury
Burlington over Mt. Mansfield
In Division 2:
Burr and Burton over North Country
Bellows Falls over Lyndon
Fair Haven over Mt. Anthony
Milton over U32
In Division 3:
BFA-Fairfax over Springfield
Woodstock over Poultney/MSJ
Mill River over Missisquoi
In the consolation games:
Rutland over Essex
Rice over South Burlington
Brattleboro over Spaulding
Otter Valley over Mt. Abraham
