Bad Football

The football games on Thanksgiving Day were pitiful. Tennessee beat Detroit by 37 points. Dallas beat Seattle by 25 points. Philadelphia beat Arizona by 28 points. Even in College football, Texas beat Texas A&M by 40 points. I found myself watching most of the games by myself, as others attending the Thanksgiving feast decided the games were not that entertaining to watch. Thankfully good food, friends, family and a bottle of wine made the day a nice one.

It would really be nice if the NFL would rotate some of these games so other cities could take part. We might even see an entertaining game or two.

Boring Football

What is it with bathrooms in Minnesota?

College Ball

The Great Falls Tribune published a nice story on Thanksgiving about Carroll College’s Luke Den Herder. You can read it here. Good story.

Deputy

Lee Newspapers did a story on President-elect Barack Obama’s new Deputy Chief of Staff, Jim Messina. He was Senator Baucus’ Chief of Staff. Politics aside, it’s always good to see local folks do well on the national scene. Besides, I think this is the same position Josh Lyman held on The West Wing, so it must be cool. Congrats!

Trampled

It’s black Friday, so let’s be careful out there.
