FOOTBALL!!! YES!!!!

:)

Well, the game was a snoozer last night (just look at that score!) but I did see the first quarter in which the starters played. Tom got clocked on one play that shows the offensive line is really a work-in-progress now that left tackle Matt Light retired and other starters are out due to injury.

Some flashes of good stuff: Brandon Lloyd catching a pass from Tom, Stevan Ridley utilizing a first cut effectively, and Chandler Jones showing some spark for a rookie. Lots to evaluate, of course, and the Saints didn't look much better, but it's the first pre-season game, so no one's jumping off the Zakim Bridge yet. ;)

I didn't see the entire game, switching between that and the Olympics and the episode of Batman on ME TV, one of my favorites: Robin under Catwoman's control due to a drug and acting the bad guy, and Batman pretending to do the same. I did think that it was a good moment when Catwoman orders Robin to beat up Batman and Batman can't bring himself to hit Robin. After that she gives Batman the drug but he took an all-purpose Bat-Antidote Pill first. ;) Lesley Gore guest-starred as Catwoman's protege Pussycat.

So, yeah, kind of had to see things on the fly!

Next week: the Pats host the Philadelphia Eagles.

FOOTBALL'S BACK, BABY!!!

Tommy's lookin' gorgeous as usual! Hubba hubba! ;)

Hey, I watched that Batman too! It's kind of a treat to see these, wacky as they are, since most of them are brand new to me. So funny how Catwoman always wants to bump off Robin. :)

And a tentative yay for football being back. The Broncos actually looked pretty good last night, and the strangeness of seeing Peyton Manning wearing the orange and blue should wear off around mid-October. The last few seasons have been loaded with so much drama and disappointment, though, that I'm dragging my feet a little bit and holding back on the excitement.
