I usually lose my shirt on NFL and Superbowl.
But this could be my year.
Baltimore in my opinion.
Go Ravens!

Mercy me. The Dark Ravens pulled it off 20-13 at the Titans! 😀
I expected the Saints to beat the Monsters of Midway aka Da Chicago Bears. 21-9.
Tom Brady naturally pulled the team formerly known as the Deadskins apart. 31-23.
Big surprise is the Brownies whacked the Squealers in their frigid home Stadium 48-29. 😱
This year is a cracker. Whatever comes next? I never bet on Superbowl. Spoils the fun. 😀
But they say a Superbowl team is built on DEFENSE.

Badminton restarted ...
Yesterday Badminton World Federation restarted their international tournament series in Bangkok / Thailand. Many matches are accessible via Youtube in 1080 resolution.
Watched German Womens' Double Efler / Herrtrich yesterday in their opening match. Not the best match I could imagine, to say the least. Chose it because of a German team in action.
Strange atmosphere: no crowd, silence in the hall, keeping distance, volunteers in masks + face shields + scrubs ...
If you ever watched videos of a Badminton tournament in Thailand, you know how crazy the crowd can be there. This silence is ... hmm, hard to find a word for it!
Anyway, this one should be the absolute highlight of Day 1 in Bangkok: Womens' Singles PV Sindhu of India vs. Mia Blichfeldt of Denmark. Scheduled for tonight!

To me, this weekend is about FOOTBALL! 🙂
And we ain't talkin' Soccer. It's NFL. 😀
Rams @ Green Bay. I expect the hideous Pack to win this one.
Ravens @ Bills. Confident on the Ravens. The Bills always let you down.
Tom Brady's Bucs @ The Saints. Tough to call what is a divisional rivalry. I think the Saints might squeak it. It's going to be brutal.
The Browns @ The Chiefs. Surely the Chiefs are too good on homefield.
Very exciting weekend.

Ronnie O'Sullivan lost 3-6 to John Higgins in the Masters snooker quarter final:

Ronnie was very gracious in defeat. Two of the most troubled sportsmen in this very precise game.
But enjoy watching both.
Whatever next? 🙂

Oh dear. The Rams having an awful night at snowy Lambeau!
3-16 coming up to half time. 🙄
Aaron Rodgers on fire! But they fluffed the conversion.
As a Vike, I naturally hate the Cheeseheads.
Ah well. TBH, I am more interested in the Ravens tonight. Nevermore! 😀

This is turning into a heck of a game. 25-18 to the Packers.
One touchdown in it.
My instinct tells me the Pack will squeak it.

Dismal loss by the Ravens at the Bills. 'Nuff said.
Brady versus Brees looks fun in the NFL.
More gripped by the Masters snooker.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/snooker/54134584
5-5 so far. Old Higgins against young Yan.
19 frames. What a game. 😀

Fantastic night in Sport. NFL Chiefies beat the Brownies as expected. But suffered a concussion to the Quarterback Patrick Mahomes II. Happily Chad Henne came on and finished the job.
All is not lost for the Chiefs. IIRC, Nick Foles covered a QB loss superbly for the Philadelphia Eagles a coupla years back.
Listening to the cricket now. Oz versus India at the Gabba. Excellent contest. 😀

Much excitement tonight. The Conference playoffs in the National Football League.
Brady's Bucs versus Rodger's Packers in the NFC at shivering Lambeau Field. Tickets as low as $2011 according to ESPN. Sod that. I'll watch the highlights for nothing in the centrally-heated comfort of my home... 😎
Patrick Mahomes fit for the Chiefs against the Bills. Arrowhead is another frigid stadium. 😱
I generally favour home teams in these matters. But wait and see who turns up. "Any given Sunday", an' all that! 😀

Marvellous. The Pack lost! I say this as a Vikes fan. 😀
Tom Brady takes the Bucs to Superbowl 55 in their own stadium!
Tom Brady, Buccaneers stave off Packers for NFC Championship Game win, trip to Super Bowl LV
Who ever wins the AFC playoffs, Chiefs or Bills, they are up against it.
But I learned years ago to never bet on Superbowl. 🙂

Well, The Mahomes Chiefies against the Brady Bucs it is.
Old Bill Belichick must be rueing letting Tom Brady go... but I expect he has a long term plan. 🙂
Aaron Rodgers ended up flat on his back 5 times against the Bucs (Deep Joy as a Vikes fan...), whereas Brady only got sacked once. Dear old Jason Pierre Paul had two sacks. I always remember Jason. Managed to lose a finger in a firework accident, but it clearly did not diminish his ability to get after the QB. The Gronk played little part in the game. I believe the Bucs have played some attention to protecting Tom.
Chiefies managed to sack Josh Allen 4 times, while again protecting QB Patrick Mahomes who only hit the ground once. Travis Kelce scored twice, arguably the best Tight-end in the league.
Gonna be a good Superbowl 55. I love the 4th quarter when Tom plays, known as Brady-time to the afficionados. 😀

Shocking result. 😱
Sheffield United win at Old Trafford. 2-1. And playing in Pink, to boot. 😕
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55728232
All over for United, IMO. Not the same team I used to watch in the days of Bobby Charlton and George Best. 😱

Face price yes, virtually all tickets ended up costing much more on the street. I had a great grandstand seat at the 1967 Packers-Rams playoff game that was $10-15.
This was a special treat for us.
This was a special treat for us.
Ticket prices have just exploded in all all pro sports since the '00's.
I remember I saw a 1st round playoff game at Joe Louis Arena for $19 (face value $20) in '93. Saw several games of the '93 playoffs for $15 (standing room price at the old Montreal Forum), but standing room got ridiculously crowded at quarters- or semis-, can't recall. I basically couldn't see any of the last game I went to and just gave up after that.
Did a Wisconinsane trip many years back with a Milwaukee buddy: Brewers Fri night, Badgers Sat aft, Packers Sun aft. Insane refers to how much driving that is. Endzone Badgers ticket cost more than Packers ticket.

Apparently, all the money is on the Chiefies!
3/2 on against the Bucs.
I never bet on Superbowl. Just enjoy the game.

Brewers Fri night
Harvey Kuenn's wife was a lifelong friend of my mother and she was my godmother. We lived walking distance of the stadium and they owned a "watering hole" a few blocks from us. My father golfed with Harvey in AZ until he passed away.
