the 2012 - 2013 season is starting

surgery

I am to have hernia surgery on the 17th. I could have had it this week, but I told the doctor that the Packers were playing on Thursday night and I didn't think the hospital would have the NFL channel so I couldn't have the surgery until the 17th. The Packers are playing "da Bears" You should have seen the reaction of the pastor's wife and several of the ladies when I explained the reason for the delay. I hope they win this one!

Jan,good luck with the surgery! I was trying to think back to when/why I got so hooked on football myself. maybe raising 2 males? maybe cause Sundays are 12 hrs. straight of games? and now there's a HS girl playing QB!

glad to see the Raider's lose last night!

since my brain seems to be gone @ times I figure watching as many games as possible & learning the player's is a good brain exercise.

when games are on ESPN I can read the scores,other channel's I have to stand up with my nose on the screen. already hinting a larger screen would sure be nice.......

there have been some good games so far so hope it will be an exciting season for all.

[joy]

jan i will have you in mind during surgery. hope everything goes well without and problems and you have a speedy recovery. take care

[JanM]

I am so glad that I postponed the surgery after getting to watch the Thursday night game!!!!!!!!!! There were times I was chanting "Come on Pack, take it back" and in the next play they had the ball back in their grubby little hands. Of course, I hope this is the first of many wins this season. And what about that fake punt!!!!!!!

[Buttons2]

sorry I missed the Thursday game!

go Seahawk's though,yesterday was a good football day except I really wanted the Eagle's to lose.and admit I was horrified over what Golden Tate did with his helmet & no flag. read in today's paper he might get a fine.

[Buttons2]

well the NFL has fined Tate $21,000. of course he's appealing.

now Jan you know I'd be cheering the Packer's on Monday night but just cannot do that when playing Seattle! hopefully an exciting game with no injuries.

and of course hope you are healing just fine after the surgery & Hank is settled down now too.

I am replying on.my phone computer has a brain f@ft. I think the NFL shoulder stop using High School officials for pro games. But for a few people, the world knows who really won.that sorry game. It was a well fought game and it is a shame the was decided by amateurs! !!!!!!!

[Buttons2]

glad the official's & NFL have finally settled. it was a weird game to say the least. FINALLY yesterday I got an explanation of the rules: when 2 guys catch the ball it goes to offense team cause that's the RULE.

Pete Carroll's arrogance (to me) is shameful.

BTW-I saw it as a Packer catch,housemate saw it as Seattle's. but then we differ on just about everything!

[JanM]

The best part of the game was that I "watched" it with my sister. She called me shortly after the game started and she has unlimited long distance and I have unlimited minutes on my cell. We both had a great time. I got the feed about 6 seconds before she did, so I was cheering (or moaning) before she did. Of course she complained that it wasn't fair. I told it was because I was closer to Seattle than she was.

[JanM]

OK Packers, WHAT HAPPENED, Y'LL WERE AHEAD AT HALF TIME 21 - 3

[Buttons2]

yesterday was a good football day for me! first the Giants won,then the Seahawks,and then the Saints!

do I dare hope for the Jets tonight?

Sorry for the Packer's losing Jan,at least Rodger's has some new commercials so we all get to see his wonderful grin/dimples.

and I think the Steeler's won! too bad Leo seems to have deserted us. I miss her humor.

[JanM]

The PACK brought down the Texans......broke their winning streak on Monday night. My sister called from Michigan and we "watched" the game together. We know that the Pack has two more Sunday night games and we will "watch" them again.....!!!!!!

[Buttons2]

very glad the Packer's won! now wonder who will bring down the Falcon's? another great Sunday of games for me-all my favorite's won. and the Seahawk's game was a thriller for sure!

Jan,was actually hoping you got to see the game for real-guess Texas is a big state though. good thing you can share the games with your sister. I tend to get overexcited myself & get my little dog all riled up.

go Hawk's on Thursday!

[JanM]

When a Packer game is national televised I get to watch it, like the entire country can. Sometimes their games will be televised if it is not on the same time & channel as the Cowboys or Texans. I check all three schedules to see if there is a conflict and check the televised time slot to see if they may be showing that game. There's always a chance. Dallas is 3 hours from here and Houston is about 8 or more hours from here. One year a friend & I were to go to the Crybabies/Packer game so a couple of years before the game I started picking up cans to make the $$$ to go. Weeks before the game my friend yold me that she couldn't go. I took the $$$ and bought a laptop.

[Buttons2]

sorry I didn't write that well Jan,what I meant was I was hoping you were there in the stadium!
