Not sure if anyone has been watching the Ryder Cup (Golf) but it has been an excellent show as usual.  USA dominated and is on par to break the record for the most points ever awarded in the modern era of the event. Europe has just been off the entire event, despite being dominate for the past 20 years (Ever since they expanded beyond the UK to allow all of continental Europe).

I did watch it.  Since Friday I've been watching it!  I love the Ryder Cup.  It might be my favorite golf related event.  The President's Cup is also enjoyable.

I feel bad for Houston .  My Buffalo (Orchard Park) Bills are really beating up on them.  40 to 0 with 2;13 left in the game.  I think they should all just head for the locker rooms instead of risking any possible injury's on a game that is all but over!

Despite living on the opposite side of the country, Buffalo has been a team I rooted for since the late 90s, when I actually started watching sports and caring.  I always root for my Seattle Seahawks, but at the same time, I have rooted for Buffalo in all their games.  It's been so long since they've been good.  On that same end, besides the Seahawks, it's been so long for many Seattle teams like the Mariners to be good.  It's sad their baseball season ended today, but overall it was a fun year.

I guess our other Seattle teams like the Sounders are good, but I don't pay attention to soccer.

THURSDAY NIGHT FOOTBALLLLLLLLLL.

We got ourselves an awesome rivalry game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks.  They are playing in the most dangerous stadium for away teams in the league, Lumen Field in Seattle.  Home of the dreads 12TH FAN!!!

Seattle comes off a compelling win against their rival, the San Francisco 49ers, and the Los Angeles Rams come off a loss to their division rival, the Arizona Cardinals.

The Seahawks have the best home record of any team in NFL history since Russell Wilson became their QB in Seattle.  Will Matt Stafford and the Rams have anything for their division rivals?  Tune in tonight!!!!


We also got a much less important game coming up soon between the NY Jets and Atlanta Falcons taking place in London this week.  Not London, Ontario.

Good game so far! Defensive battle.  It is half time and the score is only 7 to 0.  Seattle is leading.

Well that game ended badly.  Russell Wilson is injured with a destroyed hand.  He has never missed a game and now may miss upwards of a month.  In the meantime, backup QB for Seattle is Geno Smith.

Yeah, that's really too bad.   Hopefully he can come back earlier than expected and salvage a decent winning season for them.  Now it's time for the rest of the team to step it up and play their hearts out to keep them in the running for a wildcard spot.

I know this is a couple of days late, but I have to say congratulations to my Buffalo Bills for sitting on top of the AFC East !!!

I was also recently reading that he didn't like flying, so he had his own bus he used to travel the country, and explore small towns as well.  Very neat.

So will the Super Bowl be kicked out of LA this year because of restrictions?  The NFL is already making backup plans for Dallas to host the big event.
