Incoming. I was ready, for the most part. We also don't have that New Age aura/marketing ploy thing
going, just moonshine. The only good part is that it is one of those one day deals where it is expected
to warm up quite a bit over the next several days, thank goodness. The fireplace will be getting a
workout tonight. Feed me, feed me.

The Raven offensive coach is a moron. In the first half his playing calling sucked! Even the announcers said that he made adjustments and that lead to them scoring on their first procession in the second half. But these announcers are way too wimpy\kind. I like ones that are willing to call out bozos.

It also looked like the Texans D was tightening up and putting more pressure on Jackson at the end
of the first half, but it sure didn't carry over. They are getting run over now. Maybe some of the
announcers play it safe in their own self interest. Turn out the lights....

Yep, I had a feeling that at the end of the first half the Texans' play could at best be viewed as a "moral victory" with that tie score, but that they'd probably be blown out during the second half by the Ravens.

Sounds as if you're well aware of the image Sedona now likes to project to the world here, eh?!

And yep as you said, primarily for "marketing" purposes.

(...so, who ya likin' in the second game tonight?)

I think most people do. Nothing wrong with that. Just keep communing with the dead--those dead presidents.

I was rooting for the 49ers, but they made it too close for comfort, but a good game, better than those
blow out ones.

Yea, the 49s cut it too close for comfort but did make the plays when they needed to in the 4th quarter. But Purdy showed his inexperience.

Yeah, maybe, however it could be said the Niners were lucky that Love showed that he was even more "inexperienced" than Purdy was at the end, and considering Love's ill-advised last pass attempt and when he should have just thrown it out-of-bounds to stop the clock.

(...and especially so on only 1st-down with still enough time left on the clock in order to get his team into FG range to tie the score)

To quote the late great Carter B. Smith from what used to be KABL AM, after they were swallowed up by Clear Channel, "As long as the checks still cash."
I wanted the Packers to win, regardless of where I happen to live.
Not being a sports fan, I'm tired of the "Red and Gold Report" on TV.
The people who make sports available on TV could care less about the fans, just the income.
I will also say sports should not happen on Apple TV+ or Peacock. These are services with limited subscribers.
That is probably for a reason. Why pay for something you don't want, just for a sporting event?
ESPN on ABC infuriates me."What happens on ESPN needs to stay on ESPN and not take out local news broadcasts."
Okay, Go 9ers, all the way!
Where I live, it's Go 9ers, Sharks, A's, Giants, Raiders, Warriors.
Meanwhile, in Oregon, to the best of my knowledge, it's just the Portland Trailblazers.
