Detroit Chokes

I didn't watch the NFC championship game yesterday but I did see a friend screenshot the 24 to 7 halftime lead by the Lions . 

I did casually check NFL.com later, expecting more of the same, only to see the game was nearly tied. 

And then Detroit lost, having given up 27 unanswered points in the second half. 

Ouch.

I've got nothing against the Lions, but it sure is fun to see a NFC North rival go down in flames, and all the great memes that it spawned lol.

Charles Osgood

 



Charles Osgood, the radio and television anchor known both for his humor and his talent for making the mundane interesting, has died of dementia at age 91. 

He spent a half-century on the air for CBS, both with his "The Osgood File" on radio and, for 22 years, hosting “CBS News Sunday Morning” on TV. 

I wasn't a fan of Osgood - not in the sense that I was AGAINST him or disliked him in any way. What I mean is that to me, he was a pleasant background noise in my life; a familiar part of the everyday, even if I rarely paid full attention. 

RIP
