Incredible, if you haven't seen it. 24-24, three seconds left, Pats have the ball on about their 30. They try one of these sort of hail-mary stunts where one guy runs with the ball and then tosses it to another who tosses it to another. Except one of the tosses is intercepted by a Las Vegas player who runs for a touchdown. Vegas wins 30-24.
C'est incroyable.

bdsamm "obviously you are in a liberal state. In some states, the cops spend half their time busting prostitutes. As your Patriots Owner found out down in Florida. Don't know how Kraft came out on that but it was ridiculous. Here they keep after the massage parlors but more or less as a sideline."
Moved this so we don't incur Ines' wrath. The cops' rationale was, I think, that in a nearby community there was evidence of sex trafficking in a massage parlor, so the cops in the town where Kraft got caught were playing catch up and started watching local shops.
Kraft dodged the bullet in a legal sense, I gather because the cops were taping everyone and, generally, one must have reason to tape a particular individual, else the evidence is not admissible. Also, there was no evidence, apparently, that Kraft solicited a sex act, which is the crime involved. No doubt he was smart enough not to articulate his desires. It is said that the signal is to come into the cubicle and remove all one's clothes and then lie on one's back, rather than don a towel and lie on one's stomach.
No doubt he was embarrassed at the time. Just this summer he began again giving interviews to small, hand-picked groups of reporters. Of course, no one mentioned the incident. It helps that his son now runs the club so he really doesn't have to talk. He also married a well-known doctor in recent months so he has seemingly got back out into polite society.

Franco Harris is dead. I, of course, was not around then but they've been playing the immaculate reception all day on twitter and even on CNBC. Interesting that Terry Bradshaw is still quite active on football broadcasts and sports talk-type shows. Two days short of 50 years I believe.
bdsamm The Chiefs and the Patriots both have home games on Saturday. Supposed to be 19 degrees in KC. Maybe will be a bit warmer in New England.
21°F and sunny says the forecast. Both games are on TV in Boston, but against each other. I enjoy watching the Chiefs some. Better quality football than we are getting here these days.
bdsamm Well, the Chiefs did very good as was expected.
The Patriots did well but not quite good enough. I think they did better than expected though.
Glad you had a safe run.
I watched a reasonable amount of the Chiefs game when the Pats were down 22-0. Pats made a nice comeback but fumbled on the Cincinnati 5 with about a minute to go.
Merry Christmas, have a good day.
bdsamm Happy New Year! Hope your party is lots of fun for you. I do really enjoy chatting with you.

It was fun. It seemed different to be around a lot of boys again. Also to be out bare-legged and in a short skirt with nothing on down there but a little pair of panties. I can see why societies that promote chastity build this framework of gender separation and dressing the girls to the teeth.
