Don’t like football. Hockey is my preferred sport.

gooooo---Huskeees!!!! I really think they oughtta give people their moneys' worth, and have tag-teams and then require that they play & play until all of the players are finally carried off the field with injuries. Also, use a 100lb medicine ball. Maybe put some bulls on the field to chase the players. Yup. I might sit-n-watch, then.

Tomorrow the schools will be closed here. It is a big deal here.

It used to bother me that some of my college fees went to support sports and football was the big one. Money didn't come easy at the time and sports seemed a little frivolous. Baseball is the only pro sport I have much interest in. As George Carlin once explained, it's a far superior sport to football.

I grew up a baseball fan. Did you ever see Ken Burns’ Baseball series? Absolutely lovely.

At least once. It's a great American game. I suspect a societal shift of some sort when football replaced base ball as the most popular sport

A FB friend posted: "I'm rooting for the Eagles today for one reason. I understand that they once declined a visit to the white house during trump's first term and he is still pissed." Sounds good to me.

trump went to the game and it cost MILLIONS of dollars for him to attend. The only president to have done so because of this! Another term of record spending?
