Random observations

Still not too focused on blogging, but I do have a few thoughts:

  • We were having trouble with our television last night (dang it, Comcast), so even if I'd wanted to watch the Dems debate I wouldn't have been able to. But there was no appetite for the topic in our house. The post-mortems indicate Elizabeth Warren didn't have a great night and that Bernie hasn't let a heart attack stop him from yelling at clouds. In a deeply divided nation, it's possible one of the luminaries on the stage might be president in 2021, but I wouldn't count on it.
  • Yes, the officiating in the NFL is screwed up. Did it benefit the Packers on Monday night? Everyone seems to think so. To which I respond -- fine. But to hell with the Lions anyway. If the Lions want to assuage their wounds, they can take their frustrations out on the Vikings this week. Benster will likely have a few words about this topic later in the week.
  • Congratulations to the Nationals, in the World Series for the first time in franchise history. I wonder what the fans of the Montreal Expos think about it.
  • It was always argued that "Seinfeld" was about nothing. The Dems are running a Seinfeld impeachment.

Yes. But the poor officiating could have (and should have) been rendered moot given the Lions had *two* first half drives stall inside the GB 10, thus they settled for field goals instead of touchdowns. Had the Lions scored a TD on one or both drives, they likely win.

Brad: The fumbled hand-off and then the trip and fall had me saying, "Lions doing Lions things" on the first drive.

D: Does the Seinfeld impeachment include a Transparency Nazi? "No transparency for you!"

And I couldn't believe that the refs called Tre Flowers twice for colluding with the Russians.
