Some things got done today

None of those things involved Christmas shopping.

Just wanted to let you know that...

🎄

The Patriots are in Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers tomorrow. Fortunately, the game starts at 4:30 so I will be able to watch all of it.

This is where the NFL exceeds MLB - game start times.

I have always believed that sporting events should never end after midnight in the time zone in which the game is being played.

During 2018, there were numerous baseball games that ended past midnight. Particularly when ESPN carried the game and insisted that it start at 8:15 and have way too many commercial breaks.

Those games went on until 12:30 / 1:00 am.

That, my friends, is bullshit.

The NFL has some games that start at 8:00 but since football is a timed game, you can make a reasonable guess that each quarter will last somewhere around 30 minutes and the half time will last 20 minutes.

That's only about two and a half hours in length.

I can stay up until 10:30 to watch football but I find it almost impossible to stay awake until 1:00am to watch baseball.
