By the way, the @dallascowboys lost the 1966 and 1967 NFL championships, the 1972, 1973, 1981 and 1994 NFC championships, two out of three Super Bowls against the Steelers, and many other big games... in white jerseys.

Who has trick or treat on a Thursday... during rush hour... and it's not even Halloween?
@TallmadgeOhio , that's who. π€·
I love "bad weather" football, I love regular season ties, and I loved Municipal Stadium.

Atrocious field conditions in Cleveland = great highlights
Mike Garrett slops his way for a big gain
Pruitt shakes off a blatant facemask
Fouts hits McGee, setting up a Wersching FG

I remember seeing this before. Fantastic ending!
And a lesson in color commentary: don't interrupt an historic play-by-play call. Be excited, but do it away from your mic until it's your turn.

I could watch an entire game from this angle.
With a wider shot, of course.

Never "cursed."
Always awesome looking.
Bring them back already.

When the Oilers played in the Astrodome, they used to have some great photos from the ceiling. Today's Falcons remind me of those days.

At some point in the distant future the NHL will have more outdoor games than the NFL.
When in Winnipeg... πͺ΅

ALT Illustration of Winnipeg Jets players Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor sitting by a bon fire with Montreal Canadiens players Juraj Slafkovsky and Cole Caufield by a log cabin under the Northern Lights. The NHL Heritage Classic logo is at the top.
The bigger question is why the Cavs came up with that logo in the first place...

Yo @Pacers letβs not play Keshaβs βDie Youngβ during the Peyton Manning Childrenβs Hospital Teddy Bear Toss please and thanks
@UniformTracking Does it make sense for Kent State to wear an alternate uniform with the mascot wearing a completely different uniform on the helmet?

Helmet of the Day: Pitt Panthers 1980-1986. The Mustard yellow era. In 1980 the mask was changed from gray to match the shell. Most widely known as the helmet Dan Marino wore while he was at Pitt.
Got a new book from the library, which should be a fun read.π
And it's the first book I've seen with the disclaimer, "No generative artificial intelligence (AI) was used in the writing of this book." ππ
I found out we're hosting Thanksgiving this year.
The rest of the family can watch the parade, and anything they want after dinner. All I ask is for 90 minutes while the turkey is cooking so I can watch this:

Welcome to another #StraightOnKicker Moment!
If I'm lucky, today I might get to kick in the back yard, where I have no goalposts (yet). This Moment recalls the day I kicked at my kids' high school practice field, which has two.

Today was the day I realized this trading card is wrong.
Reggie Collier played for the Federals in 1984, when they wore silver helmets. This is Joe Gilliam, who played there in '83.
