Some late November football thoughts. (NFL/CFL/NCAA)

The Big Breesy. Managed to catch the late game last night (worked most of the day and missed the first two), and wasn't disappointed. Drew Brees and the Saints once again controlled most of the game and scored more than 30 points. Sure, Brees had an interception last night (which really is no big deal seeing how it's only his second all year), but he was still making awesome plays left and right almost effortlessly. The Saints are a lot of fun to watch this year.

The M.O.P. award goes to the wrong dude. Last night was also the CFL's night to hand out awards, and they got it wrong by giving the Most Outstanding Player award to the Stampeders' Bo Levi Mitchell over the Redblacks' Brad Sinopoli. I'm not saying Mitchell is not a good player, I'm saying that Sinopoli was a stud this year, going above and beyond to help his team get a berth in Sunday's Grey Cup game. He's a true team player, while Mitchell takes after his coach and throws tantrums a little too often when he doesn't get his way.

Last game of the season. Saturday night's contest between Notre Dame and USC marks the last regular season game for the Irish, who will look to go 12-0 and secure a spot in the BCS National Championship. These two teams have a decent rivalry, and it should be a great game overall. Look for both teams to pound the ball on the ground in this one.
