Kick it!
Since seconds are counted in Michigan the way votes are in Los Angeles… there’s always more to be found…I searched for how the Western Michigan-Michigan final affected bettors.
Someone who made a $100 bet on Western Michigan to win…lost $2,000 thanks to that extra tick given to the Wolverines…
Last Add Western Michigan-Michigan: Is it a massive irony or happy accident that the NBC rules analyst on Saturday was Terry McAulay?
The snarky side of me wonders if he had as much on the Maize/Sans Blue Saturday as he did on Seattle last December when he called the NFL offices in New York…
But I jest…
Last Add Time: Since we’re in the business these days of putting tix back on the clock…as a Rams fan.
I want my two seconds back from the end of Super Bowl 36…In the pic added…Adam Vinatieri’s 48-yard kick cleared the uprights…you can see the officials below signaling it good…and you can see two seconds remaining on the clock…

Look at the refs signaling below…look at the time remaining…Super Bowl 36 was a heist…I want those two seconds back…
Those final two seconds were dismissed… I want those two seconds back!
I want Kurt Warner, the Greatest Show On Turf, but mostly I want Tony Horne, who had two kickoff returns for touchdowns in 1999 (4 in 3 seasons), to have a chance in those final two seconds…
I heard Dean Wormer say, “Put McAulay on it… He’s a sneaky little…”
BUT I digress…
Who is hated more in college football? LSU or Michigan?
Last Add Wolverines: Bryce Underwood is making fans in Ann Arbor long for the days of Tate Forcier…
Finally…(I’ve been sitting on this for three days)…
I’ve been inspired by 49ers fans boasting about how their organization is doing all this great community investment/work…
Yawn.
Do you care if your team is out in the community…doing community programs…and “giving back”…?
I don’t…
If the team wants to give back, they can keep tickets, parking, and concessions low…they can and should make their games available as much as possible…Perhaps, seek and face forward individuals of character…
Beyond that…I don’t need…never have…someone coming to the park and signing autographs…
From my perspective, it has always been window dressing/virtue signaling/tap dancing for culture credits.
The bottom line is these franchises do not care. Even though they may have “We Care” departments in the building, they don’t. And I am more than okay with them not caring.
All I want is wins and reasonable prices; beyond that, I don’t need anything else.
Okay, maybe a little trash talk…and the Cowboys going 0-17…and the Seahawks crashing and burning…and for the Dodgers to go back to Brooklyn…and…Uncle Stan moving the Angels to Long Beach….and that’s all I need.
Oh, and I need Matthew Stafford to be healthy all season…but nothing else…maybe a road trip to Gettysburg…
#104—May the San Francisco Giants rot and lie stinking in the earth…
