Principled Man

Packers 27 Patriots 24 (OT) Rodgers threw a pick-6 Refs gave the Patriots a free TD when they went way past the play clock. Packer WR Romeo Doubs had a moment of rookie misery in the end zone, losing the ball when he hit the ground 3 plays, 21 points, football is a crazy game…..

Corbin Burnes 1 Sandy Alcantara 0 Burnes: 8 innings, 4 hits, 7 K’s Alcantara: 8 innings, 1 run, 5 hits, 8 K’s (1 sacrifice fly) The desperate Brewers clawing their way into the post-season…..maybe.

The Yahoo Fantasy Football League scorekeepers adjusted their scores for the Dallas game. They awarded Dallas linebacker Micah Parsons credit for one tackle, which gave my team one extra point. My Tie game is now a WIN for ME! I just LOVE scorekeepers!

A news reporter in Florida used THIS to protect her microphone from the rain..... Reporter Kyla Galer: “A lot of people are asking what is on my microphone. It is what you think it is. It’s a condom. It helps protect the gear. You can’t get these mics wet. There’s a lot of wind and a lot of rain, so we do what we gotta do and that is put a condom on the microphone.”

Judge has a very good chance of hitting #62 at home. He has 3 games to do it! It reminds me of when Hank Aaron hit #714 in Cincinnati - Opening Day, 1974. I was in 8th grade, and the teacher let us watch the game. Aaron hit #714 off of Jack Billingham, and we all went crazy. Aaron didn't play again until the Braves were at home, where he hit #715 off of Al Downing.

Saturday night: One of my best friends drove from Cincinnati to Florida for his annual vacation. He's 61, and he still thinks that he's invincible.

I live in Western Wisconsin. For me, autumn is just like an Emergency Weather Advisory: WINTER IS COMING.

Just got back from a long weekend in the Cincinnati area. Had a great time, attended my wonderful niece's wedding, saw friends and family.... But I also learned about some of my friends' current family dramas, in particular my good friend, Diane, and how her daughter (Ali) and son-in-law have become Trump fanatics. The daughter is still fairly sociable, but her husband has disowned everyone who disagrees with him. We always got along well, but I don't think I'll be seeing him ever again.

Micah Parsons couldn't make one farking tackle for me? Just ONE? My FF game was a TIE. Thanks for nuthin', Parsons......you pantywaist.....

This reminds me of the "creative spelling" method that some educators have promoted. Rules of grammar and spelling exist for a logical reason. Unsurprisingly, people have become more concerned about protecting their feelings than about logic. Heaven forbid that you tell students that they're "wrong", that their writing is full of mistakes. That would cause them much emotional harm.

It is never ethical to mock any post or the person who made the post. You can be give honest criticism of the post and how badly it's written without any mocking or taunting. Sometimes, I've been a smartass and said, "I take it that English isn't your first language." Ultimately, nothing good comes from mocking someone.

Drove 600 miles to be with this wonderful lady, my niece, Morgan, on her wedding day. 36 years ago, I got to hold her when she was a month old, and I’ve been in love with her ever since. She even called me when she found out she was pregnant ten years ago. I’m 600 miles away, and she called to ask for my blessing. *SIGH*

That’s OK. The Packers’ defense actually beat Tom Brady for once.

Not one, not two, not three, but FOUR Packer wide receivers did not practice yesterday due to injury or illness.
