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

I enjoyed. It stayed pretty close.

bdsamm

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

Avery

bdsamm That is critical.

Yup.

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

bdsamm

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.

@bdsamm

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.

bdsamm

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.

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

Made it to the end of the game. Good for the Chiefs.

bdsamm

Avery It was a nailbiter!

Sam, in-person sports betting began today in Massachusetts. In-person meaning one has to show up at a sports book (think we have two) and place the bet. Just in time for the Super Bowl. Online comes later.

Avery

bdsamm

Sam, they say it's 97 in Phoenix and the sun isn't up yet. Hope you're fairing OK.

Only 6 weeks 'til football!

bdsamm

Avery Interesting. In AZ you can bet on line and at sports books and all the casinos.

But also interesting is Brady Retirement 0.2! How long will this one last?

MA can be very conservative in some ways. Odd.

bdsamm But also interesting is Brady Retirement 0.2! How long will this one last?

Bob Kraft (Pats owner) has been on the air touting a one-day contract for Brady so he can retire as a Patriot. That makes me think it's for real, Brady wouldn't let Kraft make a fool of himself in public. I don't think. But $$$ talks. We'll see.

Record cold predicted Saturday AM, -7F (-22C). No running indoor or out. (Most of us would have to walk to the indoor track.)

bdsamm

Avery Sorry! 75 here Saturday and 78 or maybe 80 on Sunday.
