Later today I think Baltimore might beat Indy, even though I like Manning and always hope for Indy. I also think the Cardinals will knock off New Orleans.

On Sunday I favour San Diego over the NY Jets. It will be a dog fight in Minnesota, but I think Dallas will win.

I was sure wrong about Arizona beating New Orleans. The Cardinals got truly thrashed when Reggie Bush took his team on his shoulders and carried them to victory... 45 to 14.

The Baltimore vs Indianapolis game started out like it was going to be a tough, even match, but Baltimore self destructed. The receivers dropped at least 5 or 6 catchable balls and two costly fumbles after big gains took the heart out of the Ravens. Meanwhile, Peyton Manning did what he does best... nickle and dime the other team to death with short, accurate passes. The Colts defense basically stuffed the Ravens offense... 20 to 3.

Sitting here on a night shift and watching the NFL playoffs on Armed Forces Televison.

For all of you who haven't seen it yet.

The Colts won their game....the Ravens are out....the Saints won their game...Arizona is gone,,,,and Minnesota just beat Dallas 34 to 3.

Gives me a chance to use my favorite Dallas Cowboys joke.

Question: What do they call professional NFL football players in Dallas who sit aound a wide-screen T.V. and watch the Superbowl?

Answer: The Dallas Cowboys...after all they are never playing that day.

:D

Now if we can just get rid of the New York Jets all the trash will be swept out. San Diego and New York coming up later.

I am a Cowboy fan. On the other thread, last week, someone predicted the Chargers would beat the Cowboys in the SB. I commented at that time that the Cowboys would not be in the SB. My reasons were that the Cowboys do not have a field goal kicker and on offense, they play 10 players while everyone else is allowed 11 players.

Their lack of a field goal kicker was evident, and my comment on playing 10 against everyone else's 11 was also evident. Roy Williams, who has been pushed on Romo, caught no passes during this game and in fact, Romo never even looked his way during the game. This isn't a situation that Romo will allow to affect his career going forward.

Next year, the field goal kicker issue will be taken care of, but expect Romo to have conversations with Jones on whether it is Romo who stays or Williams. This is an untenable situation. Either Jones trades Romo (who is under a long term contract), or he trades Williams and since Williams has no trade value, it may well be a situation where Romo goes. For sure, Romo isn't going to go another season having access to one less receiver than everyone else in the league.

While even I don't expect the Jets to get by Indi again and make it to the show, they were extremely underrated and it was good to see them go this far. They have a great defense and how many rookie qb's have ever made it to the conference championship game. Sanchez will only get better with experience.

Rex Ryan has the Jets believing in themselves and with that defense anything can happen. It should be a great game.

Sorry to see your Cowboys lose to the Vikings. That game was surprisingly one sided especially after the Cowboys won so convincingly last week against the Eagles. At least they broke the playoff losing streak.

Indy got a big break with the Jets big upset over the Chargers, who looked like the team to beat in the AFC. The Chargers looked good in the first half and the Jets kept in the game by not making any big mistakes. It was a great team win for them but I doubt they can pull it out against the Colts. I like New Orleans over Indy in the SB, hopefully in a high scoring but close game.

Since the Vikings did to the Cowboys exactly the same thing I thought the Cowboys would do to the Vikings, I have lost confidence in knowing who will do what to whom. I think it is anybody's SB this year. No team seems to be dominating and both Championship games should be awesome.

I'm sure glad I don't bet on NFL games. I've been wrong about 75% of the time with my picks. I've always liked Peyton Manning and the Colts, but with my record of picking losers I'd hate to jinx them by saying they'll beat NY Jets. I don't have a clue who to pick between New Orleans and the Vikings. I like both quarterbacks and both teams. I just hope the games are better than the other playoffs this season. Usually the playoffs are better than the Superbowl, but this year, most of the playoffs have been very one sided... except for the game between Arizona and the Packers. That was a crazy game.

In the Saints victory over the Vikings, they basically won it because Farve should have ran the ball instead of throwing that interception near the end of the game. Watching the Colts, Manning is unstoppable quite a bit of the time. I don't think the Saints have enough offense to go against Manning and the Colts. Saying that, with this being the best showing ever by the Saints, I would like them to prove me wrong.

That is how I think. Then again, I couldn't see any way for my Cowboys to lose to the Vikings.

Romo is a massive choker, that's all there is to it.

Lets hope the Who Dat D-Line does the same number on Manning that they did on Favre, that's why he threw that last pass, tired of getting thumped.

Who Dat? Who Dat Parade baby, can't wait !!!!

He didn't choke against the Who Dat's when the Saints were at home and the only real team between them and a perfect season was the Cowboys. In fact, he had a great game against the Who Dat's. My view is so will Manning.

Ain't that the truth! :) My success ratio in choosing a winner was abysmal this year. I'd jinx a team just by picking them. :D

Fortunately, I like both the Colts and the Saints. I don't mind if either team wins the Superbowl.

      Tour Boat Capsizes in Cheow Lan Dam in Storm: Search for Missing French Tourist

      A long-tail tour boat carrying 13 people capsized in the Cheow Lan Dam (Ratchaprapha Dam) in Surat Thani province after being hit by a sudden storm, leaving one French tourist missing and others injured. The incident occurred just before noon on November 23, near the scenic Three Friends Mountain (Khao Sam Kler), a popular tourist attraction in the area. The missing passenger, 83-year-old Mr. Rene Mary Corre, was among a group of 10 French tourists on a trip to Thailand, guided by a local tour company. According to Ms. Petchaluck Ruchirawarat, the group’s tour guide, the weather was initially clear when they departed from the pier to explore the dam, often called “Thailand’s Guilin” for its stunning limestone formations. “The sky was beautiful when we started,” she recounted. “The group took photos at a popular spot, and everything seemed normal. But just seven minutes after we left the photo area, dark clouds appeared, and heavy rain with strong winds struck suddenly, capsizing the boat at 11:45.” Ms. Petchaluck confirmed that all passengers were wearing life jackets when the boat overturned. Most of the group, including the guide and the boat operator, were rescued by nearby tour boats. However, Mr. Corre was swept away by strong currents. Following the incident, search and rescue operations were launched, coordinated by district officials and national park authorities. GPS tracking from the missing tourist’s phone led rescuers to find a floating bag belonging to him near the scene. Twelve individuals, including four French tourists who suffered minor injuries, were brought back to safety. Two of them were treated for chest pains and water inhalation at a local hospital, while another was transferred to Surat Thani Hospital for further care. At 18:00 search efforts were suspended due to worsening weather and rough water conditions, with operations set to resume on November 24 at first light.. Local authorities are investigating the cause of the accident and have questioned the boat operator. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the unpredictable weather conditions that can occur during Thailand’s monsoon season, even on seemingly clear days. Authorities urged operators and tourists to exercise caution and stay updated on weather forecasts when exploring natural attractions. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-24

      Is this the "Little Surprise" of 47 and the Speaker?

      Socialism is a political and economic theory that advocates for the community, rather than individuals, to own and manage resources and property. It's based on the idea that public ownership of the means of production will lead to a more equal society. Socialism is not welfare. Socialism is a system where the government owns the means of production. All the businesses are owned by and run by the government.

      Surin Man Drives Car with Pedestrian’s Body on Roof for Over 30 Km Before Being Stopped

      An incident in Surin Province has left the local community in disbelief after a man driving a car unknowingly carried the body of a pedestrian he had struck on the roof of his vehicle for more than 30 kilometres. According to Pol. Col. Karom Boonsod, Chief of Tha Tum Police Station, the accident occurred earlier in the evening of November 23, at approximately 19:00, the driver, identified as Mr. Teerapat, a resident of That Subdistrict, Rattanaburi District, Surin Province, struck a man who was crossing the road. The impact caused the pedestrian’s body to land on the roof of Mr. Teerapat’s car. Unaware of the situation, Mr. Teerapat continued driving along the road from Chom Phra District to Tha Tum District. Meanwhile, officers from Chom Phra and Tha Tum Police Stations, along with rescue volunteers, coordinated efforts to locate and stop the vehicle after receiving reports from other motorists who noticed blood dripping from the car. Eventually, authorities intercepted the vehicle and detained Mr. Teerapat for questioning. He stated that he had poor visibility while driving and did not realise he had struck someone. He also claimed he was unaware that the victim’s body had landed on the roof of his car until the police stopped him. Witnesses following the car confirmed seeing the body on the roof, prompting them to alert local authorities. The deceased, whose identity remains unknown, is believed to have been a man crossing the road. Police are currently working to identify the victim and notify his family.

      Myanmar Worker Rescued After Hand Trapped in Meat Grinder for Two Hours

      A 26-year-old Myanmar worker endured an ordeal when his hand became trapped in a meat grinder at a pork shop in central Nakhon Nayok. It took over two hours for rescue teams to free him before rushing him to Nakhon Nayok Hospital with parts of the machine still attached to his hand. The incident occurred around 14:30 on November 23, at a shop located in the bustling Senaphinitch Road market. Emergency responders from Ruam Katanyu Rescue Unit were called to the scene, where they found the worker sitting beside the machine, his right hand stuck inside the grinder from his fingers to his wrist. Initial attempts to contact the shop's manager and a technician to dismantle the machine were unsuccessful. With the worker showing signs of exhaustion and increasing pain, rescuers decided to use hydraulic cutting tools and an electric saw to dismantle the grinder piece by piece. The process took over two hours, as medics administered IV fluids and monitored the worker's condition. By the second hour, his condition and pain had worsened, heightening the urgency of the rescue. Once freed from most of the machine, the worker was transported on a stretcher to Nakhon Nayok Hospital with parts of the grinder still attached to his hand. Medical teams at the hospital are worked to remove the remaining equipment and assess the extent of his injuries. Picture from responders. -- 2024-11-24
