I like watching NFL games, predicting which team will win, reveling in my irrational loyalties, and making random observations. Posts are written while I watch games available in the Houston market, monitoring games on NFL . com, or whenever I feel like it.

Monday Night Special: Oh Yeah
But now we have a brief Jeopardy break, conveniently happening just at halftime. It is the Teacher Tournament, with a Southern Belle, a Smooth Chicagoan, and Some Nerdy Guy competing for, I don't know, something. It is the week of Thanksgiving, so I have no idea if it is the finals tonight or not. We complete Jeopardy, even though the football has started again. I totally got two geology questions right too, and none of the contestants even tried to answer - What is attrition and what is Marcellus. Steve got a question on spices right, with What is cumin.
The Final Jeopardy category was European Authors, with our Southern Belle having $6,000, the Smooth Chicagoan at $11,something, and Some Nerdy Guy at $13,000. I know NOTHING about European Authors, so I'm betting it all!
Amazon said this author who died in 2004 was the first to sell a million Kindle e-books.
Steve said Steig Larson (after the hint from Alex), and he was right, but none of the contestants got it. Back to FOOTBALL!
And my concerns about exhilirating Half Time speeches in the Bears locker room were unwarranted. SF got themselves a touchdown while we were watching Jeopardy, and even now with a single Bears TD, with less than 4 minutes left to go in the 3rd quarter, I'm pretty happy.
--Time Passes--
There were some shenanigans out there, humiliating the poor Chicago Bears. I really felt bad about getting that safety, but it definitely ensured the win. At the two minute warning, there is no way they can overcome that 25 point deficit. It looks like my prediction was spot on - there could be ONLY ONE team with an 8&2 record after Week 11. I'm so damn brilliant, sh*t.
