Retiree. My cats run my life. They could do a better job of it, but they're cats. 😸 Also a long-time Detroit Lions fan. I don't blame my cats for that. Hello to any #UglyDogs from the old place. I'm not here to see how many followers I can get.

I'm not a fan of the last moment time out on FG attempts. McPherson could have had a record!

Evan McPherson bounced a 67 yd FG through the uprights but the Packers had called timeout. He missed the 2nd try

I usually wouldn't bother with Bengals-Packers, but Kevin Harlan is calling the game. 🎙️👑

(If the microphone emoji has some double entendre, please don't tell me.)

These early games in my market (CLE-PIT & DAL-CAR) are uninspiring. The only reason I've got Browns/Steelers on is the hope that Miles Garrett gets his hands on Aaron Rodgers*.

*I should catalog and number my sports grudges, but I don't know what's larger than a petabyte.

I think we've all worked for this guy at one time or another.

And the Jets lose again, this time in front of another country altogether. 13-11, Denver. ✈️🏈🐎 Sorry, United Kingdom.

Once again, I remember Howard Cosell during a bad MNF game saying "This . . . is not an advertisement . . . for the National. Football. League."

I like them all, but that third one especially!

At least. Good grief, what did AG get himself into? (Oh, the Jets.)

Well, I don't throw wild parties, but I don't complain if someone else does. It's rural - there are seven residences on this mile of dirt road.

I could mow the lawn more often. 😄 And I keep my cats indoors, mostly for their safety, but also so that they're not terrorizing the neighbors.

Tremendously goofy. 🤪

Charles Bryan, Part-Time Cat Bed @charleshbryan.bsky.social · 5h

Boy, if the NFL is trying to promote the game in Europe, stuff like this can't possibly help. ✈️🏈🐎 Although Denver is actually driving now.

Charles Bryan, Part-Time Cat Bed @charleshbryan.bsky.social · 6h

Haha! Broncos give up a safety with a Holding call in the end zone! I don't think that I've ever seen that! ✈️🏈🐎

Aaron Glenn, what was that mess before half-time? C'mon, I'm rooting for you! ✈️🏈🐎

Good grief. I woke up late and thought "Is there a London game this morning?"

There is!

This isn't healthy. 😄

I'd say if someone wants the bulk of Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings games that Fan Duel is the only thing that they'd need.

For the other sports channels, YTTV has worked for me.

No, you are not a weirdo. I am, because I have given those trees *names*.

I have trees on my property that include Henry the Hickory and Charlie Sugar Maple (named for my grandfathers), Papa White Oak, Kate White Pine (for my mom, who transplanted it), and Boomer's Pine Grove (for my old dog).

The simplest answer is "a lot". There should also be the college conference channels - Big Ten, SEC, ACC, since those are operated by ESPN or Fox. Also the CBS Sports Network.

It just doesn't provide regular access to a local team like Fan Duel Sports.

Fan Duel Sports Network (that carries the Tigers, Pistons, and Red Wings) isn't available through YTTV as an add-on. Why, I don't know.

It's available through a bunch of other platforms (Amazon, Apple, and some others).

It can be frustrating - there's stuff all over the place.

I prefer baseball on the radio, usually, so I've never been tempted to subscribe to the regional sports networks or the MLB video feed.

YTTV doesn't include regional sports networks, like the one that carries most of the Tigers, Pistons, Red Wings games. That's a separate subscription.

I tried Sling for a bit, but it was one pack with all the ESPNs and another pack with all the Fox Sports, and a limited DVR.

Also, I wanted to watch "The Aviator" and Netflix has it, but not ad-supported Netflix. Boo!

I was thinking the other day about Howard Hughes and how he ended up dying in a cocoon of his own hair, surrounded by jars of his own urine, just basically a paranoid nutcase.

We'd be doing these billionaires a favor by taking away 90 percent of their wealth.

It's pricey - eighty-some bucks a month, but I'm in the boonies and it's either this or satellite.
