Kickoff Day

[Mr. Scot]

Tonight around 8:20pm, we'll have a chance to watch the first meaningful NFL action in months.

And given the matchup, it might just be some great football.

(as great as Week One can typically offer, anyway)

For somebody who's been watching the game as long as I have, kickoff day always feels invigorating. Even during the seasons when I don't have high expectations for the Panthers, just getting to watch teams battle it out again is great. Perhaps appreciated even more so for me since my health isn't what it once was these days. Time is precious, especially when it starts to dwindle.

There's also something to be said for viewing a game where you don't have a rooting interest. That's when you can just relax and enjoy yourself rather than worrying about the ultimate result.

Well, unless you're one of these rabid fantasy football guys, of course (I'm not)

In three days time, we'll all be grinding our teeth, biting our nails and praying to deities that we believe in (or in some cases don't, just in case) as part of an effort to try and will the Panthers to the kind of victory that's eluded us all too often over the past several years.

But for tonight at least, I'd invite everyone to tune in, sit back and just enjoy the game. Specifically that one which is, In my opinion, the greatest game there is.

Happy Kickoff Day, everybody

I like McVay and a couple of guys on the Rams, but I like more players/staff with the Panthers North, err, I mean Bills.  So, I'm hoping they stomp the Rams tonight, but not really moved either way.

I watched a preseason game on Prime. Worked pretty well on Fire TV.

I always root for playoff positioning. Which means when it's a AFC/NFC game, I root for the AFC team.

This game and Thanksgiving are on regular cable, every other Thur game is Amazon

Gonna be like 97 degrees and daylight in LA at kickoff. Kinda odd

Don't remember if there are other streaming options.

Sometimes networks, local stations or cable/satellite providers do.

Jealousy aside, the Bills are a pretty easy team to cheer for.

Makes sense...

[Mr. Scot]

One down note: I might be cutting it close getting back in time for kickoff because I'm gonna be heading to my grandson's soccer practice at 6:00, after which Lady Cowboy Fan and I might be taking he and his parents to get some chow.

I always love seeing the first kickoff of the season, but getting back in time for this one might be difficult.

Family though...
