Football Season

The quarterback won the Heisman on Saturday night in a record-breaking landslide, becoming the first LSU player to bring college football's most prestigious award back to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 60 years.
Burrow received 2,608 points and 841 first-place votes, a record 90.7% of all the first-place votes available. Burrow also set a record for percentage of points available received with 93.8, breaking the mark of 91.6% set by Troy Smith of Ohio State in 2006. Burrow was named on 95.5% of all ballots, breaking the record of 95.2% set by Oregon's Marcus Mariota in 2014.

Burrow's margin of victory of 1,846 points broke the record of 1,750 set by O.J. Simpson of Southern California in 1968.
 

Thanks, Ken.

The report I read, this morning, on Burrow's acceptance speech being remarkably good,
is equally impressive to his football accomplishments, and to its place in sports history, imo.

I don't care about any of that, but what I *DO* care about is when, for example, one team has white jerseys and blue pants, and the other team has blue jerseys and white pants.

It's bad enough to see who's who when they're just milling around, but once the play starts it's nearly impossible. Is this the best a multi-billion dollar organization can come up with?

So, here we go. Right now Cowboys vs. Rams -- both teams are blue and white. Why aren't the Rams in their blue and gold? Surely the NFL could figure out the home/away uniforms so competing teams don't look the same? -- maybe it's too much to ask.

But I do know this game is dumb to watch, trying to figure out who's doing what.

Better, no? Rocket science, yes?

First World Problem -- yes!
 

I totally agree with everything in that post!
It seems ridiculous they don't do something about it.o_O:oops:

And the way they are for today's game,
it does make this game (even more) difficult to watch (than it already would be) :LOL:

And yes, it is a first world problem, for sure! (y):sneaky:
So thankfully, it isn't important. Still it seems beyond comprehension, why they don't want to make it better to watch their product.

The MLB baseball got something right, when they decided on "home whites" and "visitors grey...."

even though that might not be enough contrast for many viewers either.
At least there was some recognition of the issue, and some attempt made. :rolleyes:

Well, Philadephia Eagles seemed like they didnt want to win, today, but they either changed their minds, or won by mistake, i dont know which.:LOL:

Houston won over Tennessee....that helps the Texans and their fans.:)

At least the Rams are not wearing those terrible yellow uniforms: When they wear those all yellow uniforms I anticipate them lining up
in a chorus line and performing. . Same goes for Buffalo when they appear in all red uniforms; The Seahawks green uniform-what is that
an environmental statement?

Dallas has a policy of wearing their 'away uniforms' at all home games, so the Dallas fans get to see the visiting teams in their 'home'
uniforms-colorful, blah, blah blah

As someone has pointed out, the Steelers old fashion uniforms are the absolute worst.

Kaila said, 'The Eagles seemed like they didn't want to win today...' As a fan watching a game, at times, it appears a team just want to get off the field and go home for their naps. These guys are millionaires-they can't perform their best once a week?

Flash! 3rd quarter, Cowboys vs La, Jason Garrett actually uttered some words while refs were reviewing a catch and fumble.
I think he said ugly words, surprise- I didn't know he was allowed to talk?

Dallas got their running game going (thanks to OL) they better-keep the ball away from LA.
As the TV said, Dallas put their big boy pants on today.
 
You know what.
What?
Drew Breeze and Sean Payton have the same caliber of excellence of BB and Brady.
You Think?
Yep
Well, how come they labor in obscurity?
Because they are shunned by the press and other media.
How come?
Don't know.
 
Saints and Breez are surging, (wow! what a game last night!)
which is just as Jerry and I had predicted. :ROFLMAO::LOL::D

Bills are too, just like no one predicted. :sneaky:;):)

49ers... We all kept thinking they would drop, but they didn't....
until they finally did. ;)

I still see Saints (or Seattle) in the big game, this year, VS Balt Ravens or KC.
 
Kaila:
I'm anticipating Ravens collapse, they have beet too good, too consistent I just can see them doing this in the playoffs.
I'm going with KC

Drew Breeze: is this his last year? I've heard no information about his retirement. I think he is 37 y/0, old and slow, but mercy, how he can throw that ball.
Addendum: Goggle says no, no retirement for Breeze

We get Monday Night Football, every once in a while. How come the network only shows us a game every once in a while?
I like Chris Collinworth's casual, but informative approach to the game.
 
Last I knew … (though this may have changed as there are too many buy-outs to keep track of)

Monday night football is controlled by ESPN, which also is the same owner of ABC, now,

so maybe you get ABC but not ESPN?

Once in a while, as often or not, that they choose, ESPN/ABC can decide to show something bought primarily for ESPN, on ABC to be more available for higher number of viewers.

Perhaps this decision depends on the sponsors, as all things TV do. :rolleyes:
Such as, if the sponsor wants to appeal to more numerous people of varying incomes, then put something on ABC, or other channel, for the "general" public. But if the sponsor is only wanting to sell top-of-line vehicles/trucks, etc, then they keep it on ESPN (or NFL Network) for those who buy those Cable stations and might have higher income?

Drew Breez, I think, is older than you thought, but no, I haven't heard him say he's retiring soon. At least he didn't tell me that. :LOL:
I agree, he sure can throw, and I also notice that he actually moves around on the field, better than I expected him to, at this point.
He looks like he's just coming into his prime. :unsure::oops:
 
In response to the several posts above:

What happened to the 49ers? Last I knew (a couple weeks ago) they were on top of their game.

I do not get the NFL network, which is where all 3 of Saturday's games are -- including the Bills!

I also do not get ESPN so I never see MNF. Are they sometimes on ABC? -- I haven't noticed it.

Saturday: I had thought of going to a sports bar, to at least see the Bills at 4:30, but probably won't. Too much confusion, mayhem. I'm a technical, detail guy and I want to see and hear everything that happens, why flags are thrown, etc. Can't do that in a crowd. I much prefer watching FB at home over anywhere else -- including being at the stadium.

I know that sometimes games are pirated live over the internet (Facebook?) -- this will be my only hope for Saturday. Any clues?
 
There might even be a little Kharma involved, o_O:unsure:
due to the Saints and Breez, should have gone to last year's Superbowl,
and would have, if not for the REF's biggest error in NFL history.
And they had a good chance of winning it, I had thought.

So they deserve to go back this year.
Being in New England, I root for the Pats, but i thought the Saints would have beat them last year, had they gone ,
so perhaps this IS the Saints year.
I don't mind, if it is.;)

I also dont mind seeing the Bills do well. I've known many great Bills fans. Including a few here! :)

I too, would really like to see that one, and watch both of those teams go at it, on my tv screen.
And I too, do not get NFL Network, and do not think I can see it any other way, so …
I too am 😒😡😠

For you or someone else, you might be able to buy the rest of the NFL online season pass, for the reduced rate, so late in the season, and then, be able to see it, perhaps with a bit of delay, but the entire game?

I dont get good enough computer, to do that.

Not sure about any of that, as I only have OTA or streaming.

I had another thought, @Old Dummy

Maybe if we wait till after the game,
then if the Bills win,
you might be able to buy the rest of the NFL season pass, at a very low price, for the remainder of the season, with only one game left,;)
and then you could relax and enjoy watching and re-watching, every play! (y):)

Whereas, if the Pats win, I might do the same. :LOL:

My thinking being that perhaps we both only want to see it, that much, IF a particular team wins.:unsure::ROFLMAO:

Ok, I dont know anything about streaming.
But I thought that most computers, can download the NFL pass from the website, and see the games, some in real time and some have a delay.

Edit: I realized I don't know their present details, and one would have to go there and read all the fine print. Perhaps the closest to "real time" might not start till the game concluded. (Almost real time)

Well Kaila, my screen name actually means something: I have no clue what you are talking about.

Where/how does one access this "pass"?

FYI: TV "streaming" is simply watching something on TV whose source is the internet, and comes into your TV through your wifi signal -- vs. cable/dish, or antenna.

As I remember, I think you would go to nfl.com
and then find the menu, which might be in upper right hand corner, where there often are 3 SMALL horizontal lines, similar to = (but 3 lines rather than 2)

If you find that symbol, and then click on it, then, look at the options.
One might be Game Pass.
That's what you would be looking for to select.

You'd need to look at those details, to see whether or not, you want to consider it.
I got it one year, many yrs ago, and the coverage was excellent, and one can rewind it and watch it again, in any parts or entirely.
(You probably could either watch it on your computer screen, or move it over to your tv screen, as you just described here. )

But there is some fine print.
At that time, it was pretty cheap, (MUCH cheaper than getting any cable!)
and the price went down as the season went on....at that time....
BUT I DO NOT know any of the details since then.

I am not recommending it. It's just the only other option that I could think of.

Perhaps someone knows of some other possibility?

I agreed with you about the sports bar option. I like to know what the call was, and any bit of explanation they give.... would be impossible in that setting.
