Betting is heavily and incessantly promoted on the electronic boards on all four sides of our Premier League football grounds, which we see all through televised matches that we choose to watch, and is staple advertising fare on BT Sport and Sky Sports, who have bought up most of the football rights. Persuasions to "set your limits" and "bet responsibly" form an extremely minor part of the advertising. I find it cynical and very depressing.

Well I posted that last one and next day this was in the Guardian:

I lack originality.

I'm predicting that I'll be doing something else that day.

K.C. wins the late game, though I'm not sure how with a hobbled Mahomes and the loss of three wideouts during the course of the game as well their top cornerback. Sheer force of will, I guess. It was a fascinating struggle.
Philly walked over S.F. after QB Purdy injured his right wrist, effectively ending their night offensively.

Right, gillymor. Today the DH and I watched the highlights of yesterday's game against Cincinnatti, and the DH and I both noticed that for a guy whose team had just won a game, Mahomes looked very glum. In fact, we saw his face only, as he leaned into a big civilian, as if the civilian was helping him stand up.

"He looks shaken," was the DH's verdict.

Yes, leeneia, playing at that level with a high ankle sprain was an incredible feat, (pun intended).

Correction: Niner QB Brock Purdy had an ELBOW injury in the first quarter and had to return in the third when his replacement went down though he was barely able to throw and only got off two short passes.

He who is less beaten - wins the super survivor bowl, whether you are beaten up or beaten down.

Maybe just some kc bbq sauce to dip the cheesesteaks in?

Yeah, Don, it's a war of attrition and even more so now that the owners, with the players consent, have greedily expanded the regular season to 17 games and, rumor has it, they're pushing for 18.

The google says port butt is the meat to smoke. Any comments?

I don't smoke meat, but I make pulled pork by putting pork butt (a/k/a pork shoulder) in a slow cooker or slow oven along with bbq sauce.

When it comes to actual bbq places with the big wood-fired ovens, ribs, whether beef or pork, share pride of place with pulled pork.

The Kansas City Star says the Chiefs are selling some tickets to the Superbowl along with some tailgate fare for over $5000. Me, I don't like BBQ THAT much. Superbowl tickets out on the open market are over $9,000 but I don't know if anybody's buying.

I only eat meat around the holidays, usually turkey and ham but I used to love pulled pork done North Carolina style- a smoked pork butt with vinegar sauce, heaped on a bun and topped with cole slaw. I always found K.C. barbecue sauce too sweet for my taste though maybe I never had the real thing.

Smoked pork, bbq sauce of sweet-sour-hot tomato base. Thin-sliced rib-eye, onions, peppers, provolone. Choice of buns.

There will be salad and chocolate.

The game will be played in Arizona so don't be surprised if Republicans don't accept the result.

"Maybe just some kc bbq sauce..."

Well, KC sauces are not all the same.

I ate at Arthur Bryant's once, and recently ordered some ribs from them online. Came with a choice of sauces...
