Is it so wrong to spend an ENTIRE day watching sports on TV? Yesterday I watched the Redskins lose. I followed the Ravens progress ( winning an ugly game against the Chiefs) at the same time
At 3:30 I struggled to follow the dismal end of the Redskins while watching the Nationals finally beat the Cards in the 8th inning. That was a happy happy moment. Big ups to Tyler Moore! Finally, I waited for the Orioles to start , but the rain delay forced me to watch the Packers starting at 8.
Somehow I felt weirdly well-informed and pleased about the way I spent a rainy Sunday.
