only a game.....

ok, so......i listened with amusement the npr saturday morning radio show only a game......which appears to air between 7 and 7:30 am......i drove the youngest to the cross country bus during that time slot....when i am usually either up drinking coffee and reading the paper, or sleeping......i enjoyed a raucous interview with red sox fans who travel to see their team play.....sox tickets are easier to come by in tampa and baltimore than they are in boston......and so they make a road trip out of it.....tampa bay seats 25,000 and at the most recent red sox/tampa bay series, at least 15,000 of those seats were filled with sox fans who traveled for the game....wow.......i won't drive to cincinnati to see the reds play......so i have little understanding of this phenomena......the other big story was about the ne patriots filming the opposing team's sideline doings.....supposedly so they could steal their signals.......the whole debacle is now called camera-gate.....and the patriots are paying a huge fine....only because they got caught, it would seem......i will admit to glancing over the local football scores......d-ville won their homecoming game by a single point, mercer lost, boyle lost big (they are now 0-4).....and when this blog is over i will read over the lville/uk tab that highlights the big game that will take place on this day.......and though i have no dog in that fight....i still enjoy watching with amusement from the sidelines.....
