Miscellaneous sporting results

First, Middlesbrough finally managed to win back-to-back games in the Premiership, winning against Newcastle in the Tyne-Tees derby. It was only a 1-0 final line, but Boro have been needing something to get them back on the winning track . . . they're sitting in the middle of the pack, standings-wise, with only 11 points from nine games played.

Then, Minnesota had a great result visiting Seattle, beating the Seahawks by a score of 31-13. The upset was helped along substantially by a knee injury to Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle's starting quarterback. Chester Taylor had his best day as a Viking, including a 95-yard run, breaking a team record. The loss broke Seattle's streak of a dozen games undefeated at home.

Finally, Victor's team opened their indoor soccer season with an unfortunate loss, 9-7, but Victor himself did well, scoring one goal and nullifying the best player on the opposing side. Victor and Cody were on the same team the previous two years, so Victor has had plenty of opportunity to study Cody's moves and try to figure out how to stop him.
