Big time NFC East shootout tomorrow afternoon, Mark. Dallas is in first place in that division but they and the Eagles are both 7-7, so basically everything is on the line for both teams. They are playing in Philly but Dallas is favored to win, or at least that's what my computer shows. Should be quite a brawl.

Ever thought about how much fun it would be to be a commentator? I mean the way that they always kind of seem to state the obvious while they get paid big time bucks to do it. You know, stuff like "I think the main thing that both teams need to focus on is controlling the football and moving it down the field by using an effective balance of the running and passing plays. Move the chains, avoid turnovers, get yourself into scoring position. On the other side of the ball, the defenses need to shut down the running game while maintaining tight pass coverage. They need to instigate punting situations on the offense, get the ball back and get their own offenses back on the field to work on what I spoke of earlier. In addition to that, both sides need to also focus on keeping the penalties down to a minimum. Back to you, Bob!" :-p

I have been the color commentator on televised racquetball matches, both at the local and regional level.
Yes, I have always wanted to announce baseball games, haven't yet.

That is definitely too cool for school. I don't know the first thing about racquetball. I have also been on TV only one time in my life and that was part of a local news broadcast. Yeah, I bet that would be a lot of fun to be an announcer at any kind of sporting event. I would probably be about like another Dennis Miller or something. Remember when that crazy cat did Monday Night Football games for a while?

As far as football goes, I think my favorite commentator would probably have to be John Madden. I really got a kick out of some of his terminology!

I enjoyed Madden as well.
I'm not much for homers, those announcers that give special love to the home team.

So sad for those Christmas travelers out west that got stuck on the highway, due to the surprise winter storm that struck them.

I guess it's a good thing I totally missed the Oklahoma/LSU game. I would have been getting upset and cussing at my TV. I didn't figure any of the college playoff games would be until after the first of the year. I never can keep up with how and when they do all that.

So it's down to the Tigers and the Tigers, ay? I suppose I'll have to be for the team who has won the fewest National championships, and I'm thinking that would probably be Clemson. I'll need to check that to make sure. What about you, Mark, who do you figure you will root for?

LSU, I enjoy the coach, Ed Orgeron, he's quite a character. He ends every interview with the phrase, Go Tigers!

Went to a Collegiate Wrestling Dual Meet tonight. Very interesting, extremely physical, yet cerebral as well.
Good stuff.
