They're airing the game at 1am.  PVR is set.

Kids are fun, because they're so intent on making the team that they do things that they shouldn't, like get infront of Vontae Leach.

Just like every preseason game, you've got your oh-shit-not-him injuries, and your who-is-that-kid moments.  You'll see.

Do you guys believe that the Refs lookout lasts all season?

Those Refs, they are not the players, they have other jobs.

I am pretty sure the reguar refs will be back by opening day.  I mean lingerie league rejects?  Really NFL?

For tonight's game I'm more interested to see how many fistfights break out on the Jets sideline than I am about anything else.

So, I splurged on the GamePass package.  :blush:

I torrented both Ravens-Steelers games form last year, and the 2009 playoff game vs. the Cheatriots.  Very pleasant.

I've tried, but I just can't get into old games.  I know the outcome.  All of that anticipation / worry which makes live sports so good, is gone.

Now I will PVR a game and watch it later that day if I don't know the result, but watch a game from months ago?  Nah.

Yeah, I'm the same way.

There's some games that you watch to remember how you felt at various moments in the games.  I could watch Hines Ward get jacked up all day long, or see Brady get booed off his home field in the playoffs, where he had never lost.

Bengals looked pretty good tonight.  Or the Jets just looked terrible.  Jets fans went crazy when Tebow took to the field and I almost can't blame them, given that Sanchez is still the starter.

I decided not to do the injury review thingie, because it would mean "leaving the team".  So I'm back at the old spot, sorting video prints.  We can't wear team gear because we're technically outside of the bench area, so I have to wear that annoying generic-looking blue NFL gear.  Kinda wish I had taken the injury review job.  I did at least get a new pair of Nike trainers.

Meh, you're better off down in the trenches, doing the important work with the video prints the squads need between drives. 

Think of yourself as Bengals Intelligence.  OK, that's a contradiction.  Bengals Geospatial Imagery Division.
