So glad I stuck to that Giants/Panthers game. THAT'S why I always stick to games, you never know. I always have some shaudenfreud when people leave games, and then their team makes a great come back.

Yeah, I was keeping tabs on it via RedZone but when they showed a montage of all the back-and-forth between Beckham and Norman, I decided to watch the actual Fox broadcast.  That stuff was crazy; punches thrown while running, spears to the head, tripping...just like WWE.

Steelers vs Broncos. After the Broncos dominated the first half and took a 27-13 lead, the Steelers score 21 unanswered points foe a 34-27 victory to keep their playoff hopes alive. Roethlisberger puts up 380 yards and 3 tds against the #1 defense.

Yeah, I watched that one, too. Great game, Broncos had their chances.

Getting ready to watch the Cardinals vs The Eagles

This should be a blowout so I have some more episodes of "Gotham" ready.

Watched the Bengals beat San Francisco in a boring game that got a little interesting in the 4th quarter. With that win the Bengals clinch a playoff berth.

So far the Iggles are hanging in there against AZ.

I see the NFL suspended Beckham for 1 game after that ugly game yesterday.

That was brutal. He deserves it.

I actually think he should have been suspended for the rest of the year. If the NFL slaps Brady with a 4 game suspension for supposedly deflating footballs then this deserved at least as much. That helmet to helmet launch after the play was over could have permanently injured someone.

Yeah I would agree with that.

Today I watched something called the Miami Beach Bowl.  

Yeah, I never heard of it either but I was home and it was on and you know what?  It turned into my kind of football game.  Western Kentucky beat Southern Florida 45-35; both teams combined for over 1100 yards of offense with lots of gimmick plays.  Real fun game to watch.

Earlier I watched the Idaho Potato Bowl.

Now I'm watching the Boca Raton Bowl. One of the perks of working from home fulltime is that I can watch all these minor bowls.

Or maybe that's a negative...I'm not sure.

Pinstripe Bowl

Great game, lots of back and forth. Duke beat Indiana 44-41 in OT.

I watched my Tottenham Hotspur boys thrash Norwich 3-0 and watched some of that gorgeous Sun Bowl in El Paso with all of the snow. Always love it when the Miami Hurricanes get beat.

Watching the Independence Bowl.

Another great game. West VA is leading Tulsa 55-52 with about 3 minutes left.

HAHAHAHA!!!

Not only did the Patriots lose but they lost on a bizarre ref's call.  NE won the OT coin flip and the ref thought he heard someone say they wanted to kick.  So the Pats had to kickoff and the Jets went right down the field.  

For once a controversial ref call goes against the Pats.

EDIT:  OK, this just makes it even more hilarious!

Belicheat outfoxed himself!  

I'll give him one thing, at least he owned up to it instead of throwing his player under the bus.

So basically the Cheatriots tried to pull a fast one as usual and claim they didn't say "kick".  Kudos to the ref for calling them on it.
Words can't begin to describe how much I loathe this team.

Currently watching the Lambs give the Seahags all they want.  It's 23-10 Lambs with about 10 minutes left.  

We should have started Case Keenum at QB a long, long time ago.  Between his play and the new OC's play-calling we might have made the playoffs.  Granted we wouldn't have gotten anywhere after that but it sure would have been nice to make the post-season in the Lambs last season in the STL.

Lambs win in Seattle for the first time since 2005.  Final was 23-17.

Is that for sure ?


And we did get to see the end of that game. I love when the Seahawks lose.

Actually the locals are split on what's going to happen with the Rams. I read a blog that said he thinks the owners will reject the plan to move the Rams and then the owners of the Chargers and Rams will just swap teams. That actually makes some sense because it's really obvious Stan Kroenke wants nothing to do with St. Louis and the owner of the Chargers wants out of California. We'll see...

Watched the Vikes destroy the Giants. Man, the Giants look bad.

Watched the Panthers lose. As well as the Packers and Giants both get creamed in their games.

The Military Bowl featuring Navy with their uber-cool helmets vs Pitt.  Navy won 44-28 to reach 11 wins for the first time in school history.

Now watching the Russell Athletic Bowl, Baylor vs North Carolina. 

Baylor already set the record for rushing yards in this bowl...IN THE FIRST HALF!!!!  Their wildcat formation is just killing the Tarheels.  But Baylor keeps doing stupid stuff that helps keep NC in the game,  It's currently 28-24 in the third and Baylor just threw a pic at the NC goal line to keep them in it again.

Wow!  Baylor is now up 42-24 and they've rushed for 535 yards.  The previous record for this bowl was something like 325 yards.  Baylor has one guy with 259 yards rushing by himself.

Watching the Texas Bowl right now.
