Monday Niter

You like your football?...many do, as the numbers were YUGE for the Monday Nite game last eve...it was a beaut...LaLa Rams (certainly not the Chargers!) and the Kansas City Chiefs...as it ended in a 54-51 thriller in the LA Coliseum...let's deal with that first...the site of the game...

Originally tabbed for Mexico City!...WTH?...why does the NFL farm out regular season games to there and London?...the league came up with an excuse to move it back to the USA...they said that the field in Mexico City was a mess...well, and, of course, there would be gads more people attending the game in Los Angeles...quit with the moving of games!...

The league also put together an all star band of officials for the 'special game'...hard to see any difference to moi...as the pockets of the refs appeared to be mighty loose...lawdy they called a lot of penalties...esp against KC in the first half...just an observation, from someone who had no dawg in the fray....however, ESPN did NOT follow the league's lead, as the announcing and analysts were TERRIBLE!...made it hard to listen to...really...

The game...extremely talented offenses...with the play calling so fun to observe...reminded me of when Chip was first at Oregon...both QB's are dandies...the defenses (?) were gassed and set into the rush 4 and drop 7 mode most of the game...so the signal callers had time to do their thang...it was a kick to watch...

You can make a case for either team to be the champ...they are in an elite field of 5, ie the Patriots, the Steelers, and the Saints...am I missing anyone else?...the win or the loss of last night will NOT deter the path ahead...

Other...

This thang that we have, keeps hanging on...had to be one of them bastard 24 hour+ flu things...I was told that when you get the flu shot, you are more susceptible to viruses out there in the wide wide world...apparently...both of  us were...weird?...or was the shot the culprit?...I'm not sure I believe the docs...

Lock her up!...oh my, Ivanka...Trump...couldn't heed the warning of what Hillary went thru...shouldn't she have known better?...using her personal email as she was discussing government business...her privy to the White House...my issue is this...why is she in there in the first and LAST place?...what is her position?...

This just has to be the end of Dancing With The Stars...as the weakest of all final 5 competitors, Bobby Bones, won the event...as much as the Judges tilted their views, it made no difference to the voting public...apparently, as no one really knows the totals...well, the common viewer doesn't...

A Federal Court Judge blocked the asylum ban that Trump has put into place...news!...egads, and this is one of them Judges that Donny appointed...this is just a mess...come to think of it, what isn't when it comes to Captain Chaos?...the Judge quote, 'he may NOT rewrite laws'...

The Stock Market...I listen patiently to those who tell me that Trump has improved our economy...just where are the signs of that?...look at the last 3 weeks of the debacle in the stocks...so many stores closing their shops...prices are rising everywhere...NO, I don't see what they are saying...wake up people...

An item popping up all over the map...dropping a team in sports...FOOTBALL...the number of participants have been dwindling in the high schools...the cost of running it in the collegiate level is very high...and if you are losing, guess what?...people stop attending...such is the plight of UNLV...numbers that go to the games, are barely 10,000...hmmm, and they have that new stadium going up in Vegas...hmmm...

Hoops...Duke played SDSU in Maui yesterday...to be fair, the Aztecs had a decent game...really...but the Blue devils are AWESOME!...almost a 30 point win...in the timeouts, they played scenery shots, ie, downtown Lahaina...man, I love that place...

The Civil War...for you down here in SoCal you have NO IDEA...in the PNW, its the Ducks and the Bevos...usually a terrific matchup...regardless of the records...I think this will be another one of those, even tho the host, OSU is a 14 point dawg...read this in the Oregonian feed, that former Duck FB Coach, Mike Bellotti, has said that the UO QB, Justin Herbert, 'has regressed'...maybe, another year in college, could really help...

Rest, liquids, bland foods, and well, more rest...feel bad for Marsh, as she is going to attempt to work...
