Afternoon Game Open Thread

I don’t know about you but I tend to not get a lot of things done on Sundays. If it can be tackled before 1 pm, sure, I’ll do it but come 12:45 I’m comfortably hidden away in my own private Idaho (downstairs) where very little can touch me. Oh yes, the kids or wifey or even the dog may drop by for a brief hello/scratching but that’s it. They all actively chose to not like football and now they must roost in the nest that they have built for themselves. Some call this selfish, boorish behavior but I’ve never really taken anything my Mother-in-law says to heart. On To The Games Game! (that was awkward)

Green Bay at Pittsburgh: A number of folks expect the Pack to reach the Super Bowl this year because, well, crap!, they’ve got quite a number of pieces in place. Secondary is a bit of a concern but they drafted some Randall kid that has some talent and we’ll see him for the first time today. Secondary is a problem for them the way a millionaire (say Aaron Rodgers) is concerned about the scratch on his latest addition to his car collection. But let’s face it, the QB spot is ridiculous, Lacy is a bulldozer with speed and there is depth at the WR spot if Davante Adams progresses the way I know he will. The D-line and ‘backers are above average and…screw this. They will be going places this year. They are favoured by 2.5.

Just like Green Bay’s first team offense I don’t imagine we’ll see Ben And The Gang for very long. I’d venture to say that they are nearly as deep as their opponents today so why play with the merchandise for any longer than absolutely necessary? Issues exist on the other side of the ball though. They said goodbye to a DC that when calling out Tom Coughlin said, “that young upstart whipper snapper couldn’t hold my britches fer near a quarter shadow on my sun dial”. Old people, right? Some Butler guy is going to remake the D from Lebeau’s “Giving Sieve” to a Cover 2 of some sort. The big problem as I see it with regards to that D is when the offense goes to three wide receivers. That third guy is always going to be open. Polomalu and Taylor are gone but Boykin was signed over from the Eagles and he may act as a salve on the gaping, suppurating wound that is the Steelers D.

There’s already a commercial for the 2016 Senate race being aired here. I don’t know if I can make it another 15 months, fellas.

The first baseball game ever broadcast on radio was a Pittsburgh Pirates versus Philadelphia Phillies game on August 5, 1921 on KDKA, the local channel broadcasting the game.

And how many telegraph operators said that this new-fangled “radio” beeswax will never catch on.

94% success at 33 yards vs. 99% success at 17 yards means that the chance of missing the kick from the longer distance is SIX TIMES greater.

That’s a huge variable.
