There was *something* on Saturday in Nagoya. When I switched on the TV
all I could see was Kotonishiki (?) flying out of the dohyo and
a very bored Takanohana receiving all the `dishes' ...
(Which makes me think, this was only a one-day basho. There was no
coverage in the evening and even the Japanese papers didn`t waste one line ...)

In the remaining seconds of the final credits, Taka*no*hana (with the new kanji-'no`) 
also finished his bro and ... horror ... a lacklustre Akebono with his knees giving way.
But I just got a glimpse of the bouts without any comments ...

The only think that stuck was the bored face of Taka.
Really do like that guy. NOT !
