  1. Packers down 10-3 at the half. I don’t think they’re very good.
  2. Less than 1/3 of the way in, but it really looks like the Lions are headed for the #3 seed. I’m about 80-90% sure they will win the North. Also very confident that regardless of whether they win or lose at Tampa this weekend, they will finish ahead of the South winner. Even though the Eagles are a better team than the Lions, I think they have a tougher divisional schedule than the Lions so outside chance the Lions could match their record for a #2 seed. But assuming a #3 seed, that’s a home playoff date against the 2nd of 3 wildcard teams - so someone like a Seattle or Dallas or Rams.
  3. I pay $5 per month to my cable provider for time-shift so that I get Fox and CBS and CTV (Canadian network that covers NFL) affiliates from both Pacific and Eastern zones. So I got 11 of this week’s 16 games and have got every Lions games so far this season. I used to pay for Sunday Ticket when the Lions were bad because fewer of their games were picked up. I get Detroit CBS, NBC and ABC affiliates but not Fox for some reason.
  4. I think the Tigers should try feeding Meadows radioactive carrots.
  5. I’m cheering against all of Minnesota, Philadelphia and San Francisco. Because I see the Lions’ competition being as much the other division winners for seeding as it is the Packers for the NFC North title.
  6. The Williams whiff changed the whole drive.
  7. And now USC, needing just a chip shot 25 yard FG to win in regulation, snaps it high and doesn’t even get the kick off. 28-28 into OT.
  8. And then in the final minute of the Alabama-A&M game Saban called for a pass that went for incomplete when he could have just taken 3 knees. But tonight’s GT-Miami is an all-time fail. Miami just had to kneel with 35 seconds to go, GT couldn’t stop the clock, instead Miami ran it and fumbled and GT went down and scored a long last-second TD.
  9. It feels like I’m still waiting for Michigan’s season to start.
  10. Classic. Oklahoma 34 Texas 30 final.
  11. Texas-Oklahoma tied with 6 minute to go. Great rivalry game.
  12. Sideline interference penalty against Day, lol. Wipes out a 40 yard gain. Update: Ohio St TD on next play so didn’t matter. Still funny though. .
  13. Maryland receivers are weak. So many drops and misses. 17-17 midway through 3rd.
  14. What a braincramp ending to the 1st half by Maryland. Threw away 3 points. 10-10 at the half.
  15. I had Oklahoma as an upset this week. They have rolled through their first five weeks.
  16. Maryland up 10-0 in Columbus early in the 2nd. Michigan plays at Michigan between the Penn St and OSU games.
  17. I think it is nefarious, but I also think that a high profile figure like Tucker has to expect encounters with people with ill-intent or who grey area at best, whether that be honeypots or gamblers or shady donors. Reminds me of people I’ve seen firsthand throw away their jobs or reputations on business trips to China.
  18. Vancouver has a metro population of 2.6 million, a fair bit of wealth, and negligible pro sports competition apart from the NHL Canucks. But its 40 year old, 55,000 seat stadium is not suitable for baseball. And I don’t know of any one billionaire here that would be interested in spearheading a MLB effort. https://globalnews.ca/news/7880261/john-horgan-support-possible-major-league-baseball-team-vancouver/ https://biv.com/article/2023/08/pursuing-mlb-franchise-popular-bc-hosting-fifa-world-cup-poll
  19. I had never heard of Alex Lyon, last night goalie. I will start paying attention now with the opener now under a week away.
  20. Same halftime score as last week, 27-3.
  21. Meanwhile another playoff fail for Paredes. Glad we dumped that looser when we did.
  22. I aways love watching the Jays get eliminated because I see it as yet another way for Leafs fans to feel pain. Same reason I cheer for nasty traffic jams on the Don Valley Parkway or Gardiner Expressway.
  23. Bye bye birdies! Suck it, Toronto!
