bdsamm And then tonights. Kind of makes you wonder were Brady was tonight. Hope you slept well.

Morning, Sam. I did sleep well. Bed at 10PM. I saw the final score just now, 7AM here now. Have a DVR of the 2nd half. Might watch it later tho maybe not, it was never in doubt. Weird about all those missed extra points.

      Avery I think the place kicker needs to find another occupation,

          Wouldn't be surprised he's out as we speak.

            Sam, NFL has announced that both Patriots and KC will host games in Germany later this year.

                bdsamm Chiefs, 2:30 Saturday (Mountain time).

                Everyone seems to be picking the Chiefs, which makes sense, Be interesting to see what Trevor Lawrence can do.

                  It's being said that the neutral site AFC Championship game, if it happens, may become the model for future conference championship games which will all be held at neutral sites and become more like mini-super-bowl weekends, eliminate really cold weather games in outdoor stadiums and generate more $$$$.

                      Avery Interesting but of course it is all about money. And now that is showing up in College sports. Wonder when it will make it down to the high school level. I guess there is not much money involved in running or maybe there is and I am not aware of it??

                      Our college basketball is on TV today just before the Chiefs. AZ Wildcats vs UCLA is on ESPN so I will be busy today.

                          Check out diamondleague.com which is a pro league for world class track and field. 15 meets this year, one in the US. Appearance fees and what not. So one could make a couple million a year if really top notch (Usain Bolt). Peanuts by US pro athlete standards, of course.

                          Katelyn Tuohy, our champ, has one of those NIL deals college jocks can now get. Maybe $100,000. Certainly more than people used to get and NCAA legal.

                              Avery It just doesn't feel right but, yes they should get whatever they can. I am so used to the restrictions on amateur athletes but I guess that is about gone.

                                Avery, It wasn't pretty but they got it done

                                  bdsamm Avery, It wasn't pretty but they got it done

                                  I enjoyed. It stayed pretty close.

                                      Avery I definitely enjoyed watching and especially the final score. I hope Mahomes is in good shape for the next game. That is critical.

                                          bdsamm That is critical.

                                          Yup.

                                          Second game was kind of a bore, for me. Went to bed even though it was Saturday.

                                              Avery I actually turned the second game off and watched some movie that was on (and napped).

                                              Two more games today. I am most interested in the first one.

                                                  Yup. Nice the second is on at a reasonable time.

                                                    7 days later

                                                    Sam. 'Nuther big day. I'm more interested in the KC game. Just don't know enuf about the NFC teams. Probably be a good game tho.

                                                      Avery Yes! But you will have to stay up late for that Chiefs game. I am concerned about Mahomes. Says he will mostly pass from the pocket and that can be pretty limiting for him.

                                                          bdsamm Yes! But you will have to stay up late for that Chiefs game. I am concerned about Mahomes. Says he will mostly pass from the pocket and that can be pretty limiting for him.

                                                          I think it starts 6:40 in the East. So if it's a good game should be over by 10PM which is doable.
