I actually think the best game of the weekend will be Lions -.Rams. The QB revenge thing involved is intriguing.

I'm mostly looking forward to Bears/Dallas.


Oh wait.

At the risk of being serious for a bit I have some questions about football pressure when played in extreme temperatures. We all know that when you drive a car in very cold weather eventually the low tire pressure light comes on. It's easy to understand why. But that got me wondering if footballs PSI is checked at room temp or acclimated to field temperature. So I ran across this:

Complicated, ain't it? I didn't even know they had primary & secondary balls. But it sounds like football pressure is checked at room temp inside. Then it would lose PSI in zero deg weather & be softer? Or would that be offset by the balls material turning rock hard? Anyone have any insights to this?

All I can say is that the ball never felt softer when it was cold, from what I remember when I was a kid. That goes for kicking too.

Yep, got both games here. I'll watch part of the first one and record them both

Hey now, the larger Canadian football was hard as a rock in the cold, not fun to kick. Too much pressure.

Go Houston 24-14

It looks like the 1st half has gotten away from Cleveland.

 

[marpow]

That's it, I was sort of rooting for Cleveland because of Flacco, but this interception, will be too hard to overcome.

It’s amazing what you can do with a #1 pick!

How about the next interception?

Forget Kelce"s Kitchen. I want John's Kitchen!
Edit: one of my son in laws has YT TV. He can put 4 games at once on his 10' screen. Only choose audio for one tho.

Most of my family are Cowboys fans, but I was an Oilers fan. I never rooted against the Cowboys, but they weren't "my team." I have extended family in Houston, and I've tried for years to become a Texans fan. I think I've finally succeeded. They looked like world beaters out there today. And yes, I'll root for the Cowboys tomorrow.

Do keep in mind GEHA field at Arrowhead has an underground heating system. Players & fans might be freezing but field temp should be 50 deg F.
