Alarm clock went off this morning and Ving gets up, looks at me and says "MAN! Green Bay got robbed last night!!"
... I'm thinking... What? well what did they take? was it the insurgents? (Kat Williams reference LOL)
... & I give him the blankest look til I realized what he was really talking about. "Oh geez. Did you lose?" ... "yes...." (well damn - can I get a "good morning" first before waking me up with the "hey hunnie i lost my football bet."
Cousin B., did we not agree to not answer Ving's text after a certain amount?? lol :( he better work OT this week!!
Every season we can't wait to watch football, place bets on who we think will win, pay for food because we cook in the morning and pig out all day! This year we took it a little further and paid Direct TV for their NFL Sunday game ticket so he can watch all the NFL games, & on one channel he can watch up to 8 games at the same time. Literally!
It's great with scores for all the games plus where they are on the field (the blue bar at the top or bottom of the box/game indicates the forward progress and as they get closer to the end zone it turns red - indicating they're in the redzone. It will then turn green for the extra point.) You just move the yellow box around to which game you want to listen to.
If that doesn't get me "good wife" points I don't know what will!! :)
We also bought the ESPN gameplan package - which sucks at time because of the quality of the small school's coverage of their games is worse than watching a taping of a high school football game. So distorted and blurry, its sad. I don't even know why we bought it when he doesn't even follow the small schools but I guess it just the idea, if he wanted to watch it - its available. eh.
The down side it the costs of the season, the cost of food, beer, liquor, tv channels, bets lost and family time is either we watch it together or i'm in the other room with the kids watching Phineas & Ferb. This season, I'm growing fond of Phineas & Ferb. Our team isn't doing so well .. and cussing at the TV isn't always fun.
Well, guess I asked for it when I paid for it! haha
Go OSU Buckeyes! Go GB Packers! Go anyone that plays against the Steelers!! lol
(GREAT JOB LAST WK OAKLAND RAIDERS!!)
............
Regarding the game last night... I had to re-explain that YES GB did get cheated but not for the reason he thinks they did.
NFL Statement On Seahawks-Packers: Replacement Ref's Call Stands On Golden Tate TD (VIDEO)
From the AP:
NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL has upheld the Seahawks' 14-12 win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football.
The league said in a statement Tuesday that Seattle's last-second touchdown pass should not have been overturned.
The NFL says Seahawks receiver Golden Tate should have been called for offensive pass interference before the catch, which would have clinched a Packers victory, but that cannot be reviewed by instant replay.
The replacement officials ruled on the field that Tate had simultaneous possession with Green Bay safety M.D. Jennings, which counts as a reception. The NFL says that once that happened, the referee was correct that no indisputable visual evidence existed on review to overturn the touchdown call.
On the final play, Russell Wilson heaved a 24-yard pass into a scrum in the end zone. Tate and Jennings both got their hands on the ball, though the Packers insisted Jennings had clear possession for a game-ending interception.
my job is never done - apparently everyone in the family thinks M.O.M. = made of money .. - Bay Nan
