    I saw someone call them the turbopropss now instead of the Jets. Lol

        Once again, no Sunday afternoon football for Packer fans. Instead we get:

        On CBS early it's Colts at Bears for most of the Great Lakes region. Greg Gumbel and Rich Gannon with the call.



        On CBS late, most of the country gets Patriots at Chiefs. Jim Nantz and Tony Romo with the call.



        On Fox, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa get Vikings at Texans. Chris Myers, Brock Huard and Greg Jennings with the call. Michigan gets Saints at Lions. Kenny Albert and Jonathan Vilma with the call. Chicago area gets New York Giants at L.A. Rams. Adam Amin and Mark Schlereth with the call.

          No Steelers/Titans game this weekend. Adjust your fantasy football lineup accordingly.

          The Tennessee Titans-Pittsburgh Steelers matchup won't be played this week. It is the first game postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

          NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Thursday that the NFL is rescheduling the matchup for later in the season after an additional Titans player and one staff member tested positive for COVID-19 during Wednesday's round of testing, per a source informed of the decision.

          The league confirmed the plan to push the game following the outbreak in Tennessee.

          "The decision to postpone the game was made to ensure the health and safety of players, coaches and game day personnel," the NFL said in a statement. "The Titans facility will remain closed and the team will continue to have no in-person activities until further notice."

            All this excellent field goal kicking; They used the term "kicking ball" in the Packers game. Does any of ya'all know what the difference is between that and the every play ball?
            What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

                Teams are allowed to use a separate ball for kicking.

                The K balls arrive from Wilson inflated to 13.0 PSI, and they’re buffed with a sponge and brushed with a ball brush. The K ball is then individually bagged and sealed for shipping.

                Before a given game, teams are allowed to: (1) apply a wet towel to the ball; (2) brush it with a standard ball brush; (3) use the side of the brush to soften the leather and remove the slickness of the ball; and (4) use the back of the brush to warm the leather and polish the ball.

                The following actions are prohibited: (1) submersing the ball in water; (2) using a buffing machine; (3) sticking a knee into the ball; (4) standing on the ball; (5) exerting any other excess pressure to alter the shape of the ball; (6) bouncing the ball; (7) throwing the ball; (8) using any hard surface to alter the shape of the ball; or (9) adding air above 13.5 PSI at any point in the process.

                    I read a bunch about the history of kickers and ball manipulation. It used to be part of.the game. They'd over inflate it extremely and put them in an oven to make them rounded instead of so oblong. Increased the sweet spot size. It was like 10 hours per week job when they got the new balls of getting them.ready for.Sunday. it was part of the kicker grind. Minnesota used to have a ball in a pile of snow to.give the opposing kicker when it was their turn to kick.

                    Other kickers were so.proud of their work that they'd be like, "just wait till you get to kick one of these balls. You're gonna love it". It was a fraternity and they couldn't wait to.show off their work

                    QBs and kickers were in constant disagreement about how to.prep the football's.

                    The k ball destroyed some guys cuz they were so good at the prep work of tweaking the game balls.


                    Cool stuff to read about

                      I can almost guarantee some equipment guy some where is pumping them up to 70 psi and hitting them.with a heat gun before the gsme. Then making sure his kicker gets the sweet upgraded k ball on kicks even still
