Thanks for the offer but I am dealing with luddite equipment. I can't do anything but basic stuff. I am though planning to sign up for the Red Zone this week so that may help out some. I'm a little ticked because my two early games aren't as interesting as obviously the Bucs game.

The Bucs-Saints game pulled in huge ratings as expected. Unfortunately I won't get the Bucs-Panthers early game. Dammit. The NFL should have figured out a way to nationally televise all of Tom Brady's Bucs games. I am stuck with the Giants and Bears not awful but hell CM against Brady is more...

I was bemoaning the fact that the white two sport football/baseball stud has seemingly dramatically diminished over the years But I am happy to report a special player has emerged. From South Carolina,Will Taylor (6'0" 175) is primarily a baseball centerfielder who has accepted an offer to play...

Some bad news and potential good news. Although I wouldn't put the good news in the piggy bank. This is the SEC you know. Getting white skill players onto the field is like climbing Mount Everest. For the second year in a row highly touted TE Blake Cupp will miss the season. This go around a...

Cripes APBA? Brings back memories. I used to see their ads in comic books along with Strat-O-Matic. I bought Strat-O-Matic when it was a board game. I was amazed at how accurate it was but I figured the trick was to find a way to roll the dice in a favorable way. I sort of half cheated. Ha. If...

I watched the first game and the second half of the second game without much volume. So the Steelers cut Switzer so a guy called Ray-Ray can return just kick offs? And hyped to the gills Diontae Johnson, a lesser player than Cody Thompson when they were at Toledo, returned 3 punts for 13 yards...

I've been meaning to reply to this post. In the 1980's and even the 1990's I used to hang out a lot in used book stores and record shops shooting the shite. I remember one day hearing a melodious folkish type song on the turntable (albums back then although I see they have made a kind of click...

DL Morgan Fox gets to play. But this D is a far cry from S Eric Weddle and LB Clay Matthews from last season. Throw in a couple of white LBs who played including Troy Reeder who I thought might start this year. Don has mentioned the Cooper Kupp usage decline in detail. Last night didn't instill...

Injuries to key white players drives me crazy. Bad enough Gunner wasn't around to help out Edelman but three likely season ending injuries put a pall on things. I remember I couldn't maintain my focus after Adam Thielen went down for a big spell last season with a bad hammy. I couldn't get up...

I can sympathize with the members who are Packer fans. I think their strategy is to cram in a caste approach in the middle of the night like thieves do. This is a jerry-rigged outfit. Having Aaron Rodgers allows them to go full hog caste without the usual repercussions of having a failed...

Some news. Big time 2021 C Nathan Bittle will announce tomorrow. Since he and Chet Holmgren, the number one player in the class, are vying for the same west coast teams, the thinking is Bittle will stay clear of Holmgren frontrunner Gonzaga and pick a Pac 12 team most likely Oregon where I...

Not only are we dealing with Big Ten deprivation ( although as mentioned in another post things are looking way up for them so watch for announcement today) but not having Ivy League football around is another serious blow. So this would be good time to go over some of my beloved Yale's 2021...

On the subject of dreaded injuries Vander Esch is out with a collarbone injury. He is getting perilously close to having his career ending. I hope not but the neck area injuries he has had are deeply problematic.

When they switched to the Raiders game late I didn't see LB Kwiatkoski. He had left the game with a chest injury. S Jeff Heath was discussed above. Did he barely play or was he in there a lot? Sadly Tanner Muse was placed on the IR (toe) but it is the three week list so he should be back in a...

Thiem wins in a five set tie breaker after being down two sets and I am pleased he won. But I got to tell you this was one of the oddest major final matches I have ever seen. Thiem was limping around late and it felt like a fight at the end of the world. Woozy exhausted players who each looked...

Nice chunk play for Scotty Miller but this game is annoying the hell out of me. Tampa is terribly coached. Poor discipline all the way around. Some fool muffed a punt return that was heading out of bounds and gave the Saints the ball near the end zone.

Kerrigan with his second sack. Game is tied after early Eagles dominance. And Apke in perfect position to help his CB on a 3rd down deep throw.

Like Charlie Brown you got a rock.

Yes they are finally starting to find a bit of a groove. Nice grab by Julian. Rex looks poised for his best season (if) he stays healthy.

I wasn't sure but on replay not Troy's fault. And that was a bad head shot call on him too. Just made a nifty third down tackle. All over the field. By the way Holcomb citing but it was ST and he limped off. Also worried for a spell about Winovich in Pats game. Started off like gangbusters but...

Another example that the world has technically ended and we are just playing out the string. I think it was the Yankees broadcast and ex players who should know better came to the conclusion that if a pitcher throws a no hitter through seven innings on a doubleheader day they deserve to have...

If it makes you feel any better woody39 I still like the Patriots. I am bummed out about Gunner being out though. He was injured last year too. Not a good omen. While I doubt it there is a sliver of a chance they call up WR Mason Kinsey from the practice squad which could be announced as late...

I agree some of the best all around athletes over the years have played baseball. Tennis isn't far behind but good point. You rarely ever see pudgy soccer players.

Better. Jamie Vardy nails a penalty kick. I thought for a minute he would have to leave after the goalie squarely kneed him in the ass. Earlier newcomer Timothy Castagne headed in a beautiful cross. Harvey Barnes has really stood out for Leicester City. Tearing across the field. Had a chance...

Another flat start to an English Premier league game as Jamie Vardy has barely seen the ball for Leicester City. As for my heritage I am thouroughly American but strange that you mention it my blood is ancient. I don't have any Celtic blood whatsoever and I am certainly not German. But this...
