Been hearing this song come up on The Bridge on Sirius/XM...good tune you wouldn't expect to hear from a serious rocker.

Hearing good things about the Neil Young tour...coming to Bristow, VA next Saturday. May be worth a look see.

The blackout policy (it was never a rule) was changed at the start of the 1973 season and several Bills home games were on local TV that season. Don't know about the Philly game though. You can thank President Richard Nixon for strongly urging the NFL and Congress to change the pre-1973 policy. Nixon, a fervent football fan, could not watch the 1972 NFC championship between the Redskins and Cowboys because the game was blacked out in Washington, despite being sold out. Nixon's prodding led the NFL to install a policy where if a game was sold out 72 hours before kickoff, it could be shown locally. Thankfully, this revamped policy was abandoned several years ago, where now every home game is shown locally, sold out or not.

You can always wait until August and call and see if you can get it free or at a reduced cost...wait...what?

Just got the same email.

M*A*S*H, but only up to when Frank Burns left. After that, the show was unwatchable. Even Klinger became annoying when he dropped women's clothing and started wearing a Toledo Mud Hens jersey and cap. Some other comfort shows: Barney Miller, Cheers (the first several seasons), Taxi, The Honeymooners (the original 39), Combat!, Twelve O'clock High, Homicide, Life on the Street (why isn't this great show streaming anywhere???), Streets of San Francisco. Seinfeld had a great run but the last few seasons were painful. George becomes more annoying in each rerun...the only saving grace during those years was Jerry Stiller.

What I can't understand are reports of when the world's oldest man dies. It happens much too often and it's kinda spooky.

In Sensurround!

Had a Sunday plan with the Orioles, 1989-98. Gave them up when they let Raffy Palmeiro go and brought in Albert Bell. Typical Angelos move. Welcome David Rubenstein.

I do like PTI though, because they're both old like me, complain about many of the same things in sports I do, and also like me, Tony goes to bed at 9:30. Often times though, they're caught up in the NBA/Lakers/Warriors drama, which during those segments, I zone out.

I live in the DC area. I can substantiate that crime is again a major issue in the District, not only in the Chinatown area but throughout the city. https://wtop.com/dc/2024/03/12-year-old-2-teen-girls-charged-with-beating-64-year-old-man-to-death/

Did you see the HR Jackson Holliday hit at Norfolk last night? Holy hell...

Agree...and his antics at the KC playoff game were just another drunk schmo rooting for the other team.

Growing up in Rochester when they were an Orioles farm, I immediately latched on to the Birds. Saw Don Baylor, Bobby Grich, Mike Flanagan, Al Bumbry, Mike Mussina, Mike Boddicker, Cal and countless others at Silver Stadium on their way to the bigs. NBA? Meh...

Looks like Kelly spiked the ball with 9 seconds left...that's an eternity in today's game. Full PxP: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/199101270buf.htm#all_pbp Linked page does not say when TOs were taken, but I believe the Bills were out of them. I hear Four Falls is a great documentary but I won't watch...too soon.

Seemed like he always enjoyed his summer trips to SJF.

This is the closest one to me, would love to see him, but I've heard getting in and out of this place is a nightmare.

Read Boys in the Boat over the summer, best book I've read since Unbroken. I'm putting off seeing the movie because I was very disappointed in the Unbroken movie...the uneven reviews for BITB lead me to believe the same for that movie. UPDATE: Saw Boys in the Boat last weekend. Very good movie, not great, and I believe it captured the essence of the book.

Get off my lawn!

I'm a senior citizen. Don't worry about me, I'll be watching.

Saw Tony Gross at the Penny Arcade in Rochester MANY years ago.

Heard this song this morning at the gym...haven't heard it in ages. Nice tune by the great Cat Stevens.

The "policy" was a game needed to be sold out 72 hours before kickoff to be televised. It was never a "rule" or even a league "bylaw." Seemed the policy shifted week to week and team to team. Teams (owners) often got "permission" from the league office to extend the deadline if a sellout was close. So glad the league has jettisoned this policy.
