NASCAR At Indy; Cowboys Destroy New York -- September 8, 2019

NASCAR:

• Stands are empty but those who did go are getting their money's worth. 
• Some big crashes; big names taken out of this race and big names, including Jimmy Johnson, will not be a contender in the "playoffs."
• Unlike the PGA, all racers will race but only the points leaders will be eligible to win the championship 
• 16 of the 43 racers will compete in the playoffs;

NFL:

• Final:
• Cowboys: 35
• NY Giants: 17
• The Giants scored their last touchdown when the outcome of the game had already been determined. 
• The Cowboys looked very, very impressive: great running / passing balance. 
• I assume CBS ratings plunged somewhere early in the second half in the Eagles - Patriots game; so incredibly lopsided even the color commentators were bored; 
• the Detroit Lions - Arizona Cardinals -- a lot more interesting for a quarter, but after all that playing and sitting through all the commercials, the game ends in a tie -- ridiculous
