I lost another pet today

My goat, Bambi died today. This summer I had 4 goats...now I have only 1. They got old....outlived their life expectancy, but still am heartbroken.

Bambi came to me about 13 years ago...she was a stray. (Goats do not wander...think someone dumped her off knowing I had goats because she was sick...got her through it). Within minutes of finding her I called her Bambi because she looked like a deer.

She should have died 5 yrs ago, a vet (by phone in the next county...no large animal vets here) misdiagnosed her and then gave up. Told me she was going to die. I got online...found an email support group....Goat 911...they gave me 2 likely diagnoses, told me how to treat them...I did what they suggested (included giving injections round the clock every 4 hours for 3 days) and she made it.

She looked great since until a few days ago.

I got goats to clear land...then fell in love. They are wonderful animals with fun personalities.

Bambi was a sweet goat who bleated loudly for attention and treats anytime I stepped outside...I swear I think she had radar.

I am sad that I could not get her through this one. I will miss her terribly.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
