Well, I started a sports Twitter last night to avoid over-tweeting my “EditorialJoe” followers with my constant updates/comments about the sports games I’m watching. As you’ve never heard anything of the sort before, yes, I am a sports fan. Like so many other things in this world, I don’t obsess over it and it’s usually out of sight, out of mind. I don’t tend to watch baseball unless it’s the post-season. Hockey gets a little more viewing, though again most of my actual TV time is matchups I REALLY want to see, and post-season. (It’s been a long while since I paid attention to hockey. Think Patrick Roy on the Avalanche. Yep–that long.)
But I can watch football every week. Last night I started my new EdtrlJoe_Sports twitter account off with the Packers vs. Bears game, which was a real treat. GB’s defense was on FIRE, picking off no less than four passes from Jay Cutler (one int. return getting them all the way upfield to the 5). The Bears defense played well, managing a safety on Rodgers in the first half, but Cutler and the offense just couldn’t keep their rhythm against the wide-eyed Packers. Rodgers and his offense did manage to make some moves in the second half, but it was a back-and-forth game right up until the end, finishing 21-15 in favor of the Packers.
Tonight, Brady is back from his injury playing at home against the Bills. I’ll be watching this one closely, being more tuned to the AFC’s dynamics. Later it’s Raiders and the Chargers, a game I’ll probably catch the highlights of the next morning.
Give the sports twitter a follow if you’re interested in constant and persistent NFL game highlights on Sundays and Mondays. Outside that I’ll be tweeting whatever I find interesting in the other leagues throughout the week.
