What’s with all these weather delays in football now? George Carlin is rolling over in his grave.

Oh, how silly of me, I remember all the weather breaks we had in the Army. </sarcasm>

Some guy on twitter: “Why do I get the feeling Tony Romo is gonna call it great all season then be terrible calling the playoffs”

LOL

Seriously though, he’s good at this.

The Bears might consider asking him to suit up though. Move Glennon to towel boy.

Well, ok 94-93-6. Packers lead for the first time since 1932. Bendy was young then.

I didn’t count the playoff games which are 1-1. Bears won a ‘41 division playoff caused by a tie and of course GB won that NFC title game a few years ago.

95-94-6 if we count them.

Bears were up over 20 games before Favre and the crappy Bears of the 90’s. I hope we don’t go too deep into the hole. ;d

4 games in and they’ve been competitive at home and fertilizer on the road.

As they say, (bleep) or get off the pot.

Cutler won the last time he was in London and upsets happen there but...not this time.

Atlanta, no brainer

Smart money's on NE though, might be another close won

When it comes down to it the Browns will out bungle the Bungles

Minn is favored even WO Bradford, but forget that, they aren't playing TB this time.

I'm not on the Jags hype train but they win this one to go 3-1.

Dallas

Stoolers cursed themselves, Baltimore

TN

The hell with it, NYG have to win at some point, eh? No? We'll see.

Poor chargers.

Ole Chi Cardinals shouldn't blow this one.

Don't make a fool of me, Oaktown!

Seahaws

He'll probably hurt his back bending over to pick up a pen or something and miss the playoffs.

Seriously, though ... the guy is smart. He should be an offensive coordinator.

Did Raiders Throw NFL Game Over Anthem?

For information only, no confirmation of this that I know of.

I’ll give him by benefit of the doubt and assume he was being a bonehead and not a thug. It happened fast but Adams was well wrapped up.

I’m skeptical that’s true. It’s titanically bad if it is.

Re: This was the first pro football movie... I ever saw and while I couldn't find a copy of it on the internet today, I remember it being an okay film. I am sure the acting/production style of the late 1940s would hold up.

Gadzooks and General Jackson-- Yesterday I came upon Easy Living on Turner Classic Movies and it had already played half the film. So I DVRed the last part and just watched it today.

Had forgotten just how beautiful Lucille Ball actually was in the 1940s before "I Love Lucy" and the true dramatic acting chops she possessed. She actually had second billing behind Mature. For some reason I didn't recall her part in the film, just remembering Lizabeth Scott being Vic's gravel voice, no-count bitch of a wife in the film. Then again, gravel voice "bitch" seems to the be how I recall just about all of Liz Scott's film roles.

The 1940s acting styles does hold up and at the end Vic goes back to Liz, yet he slaps her hard, saying, "I never slapped you before-- Perhaps I should have a long ago." That was a 'happy ending' 1940s style--

Boy, can you imagine what the Left Wings... would make of that if any of them saw it?

It would make Confederate statues issue moot... as they would all be making it appear Vic's rampant domestic abuse all Donald Trump's fault.

Anyway, Easy Living will come around on TCM again one day I hopefully I'll be there to watch the whole film.

Lucy had flawless skin. I remember seeing her in a movie she made before “I Love Lucy”, and I was amazed at how lovely she was. In those days, they didn’t have the technology to “fix” film the way that they do now.

She did!

In the 1950s, Ball ventured into television. In 1951, she and Arnaz created the sitcom I Love Lucy, a series that became one of the most beloved programs in television history. The same year, Ball gave birth to their first child, Lucie Arnaz, followed by Desi Arnaz, Jr. in 1953. Ball and Arnaz divorced in May 1960, and she married comedian Gary Morton in 1961.

In 1962, Ball became the first woman to run a major television studio, Desilu Productions, which produced many popular television series, including Mission: Impossible and Star Trek.Ball did not back away from acting completely, appearing in film and television roles for the rest of her career until her death in April 1989 from an abdominal aortic dissection at the age of 77.

Ball was nominated for 13 Primetime Emmy Awards, winning four times. In 1977, Ball was among the first recipients of the Women in Film Crystal Award. She was the recipient of the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1979, inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 1984, the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Kennedy Center Honors in 1986, and the Governors Award from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in 1989.
