Week 15

My original post on proposed rule changes has only been read by a handful of people.  Too bad; because once again there are plays going under penalized in the NFL.

The announcers for the Washington-Buffalo joked about how a penalty on the Washington defense cost them all of three inches when they jumped offsides protecting their goal line.  They wouldn't have found it so funny if a player had been removed for the next snap.

Another play which I found frustrating occurred during the Carolina-New York game.  Well, there were more than one; but, with respect to being under penalized I'm referring to the late hit on Cam Newton as he ran inside the Giants five yard line.  The penalty ended up being about 2 yards because of the half the distance to the goal nonsense.  Again, I'd have much rather seen the penalty enforced with the ball going to the half yard line and a play with only ten players on the field for the defense.

Tis the Season?

So driving today I passed on the Christmas radio station for Def Leppard on 100.3.  I pushed off the Christmas station in November when they started before Thanksgiving.  But, I should be listening now, right?  It just hasn't seemed like Christmas time this December.  It has been unseasonably warm AND we haven't had any snow.


Well, now the kids are off from school until 2016 and its much colder out; so maybe I'll start feeling the spirit soon.  What better way to feel the season then to go to an indoor water park on Saturday and Sunday!?!  Hmm, maybe the season will start to kick in for me on Monday after we get back.   Oh, wait, that will be when we go see Star Wars VII!  That just screams Christmas time.

Happy Holidays...if you're feeling it yet.
