"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...

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If people want to bet on sports that's their deal but it's disturbing, to me, the way sports media outlets have increasingly been promoting online gambling in the past few years. Anything for a buck.

If you want to dine like the original 49'ers it'll be sourdough bread or Hangtown fry if you've struck it rich. I don't care who wins as long as it's not the Dallas Overhypes and I get to watch as much of Mahomes and the K.C. offense as possible but I'll pick the Niners and the Chiefs to make to the bowl.

So far Kansas City, Philly, Buffalo, and San Francisco are the likeliest.

I am thinking of course of what I shall cook.

If KC / Buffalo, wings with choice of KC bbq or Buffalo sauce. Easy-peasy.

I made cheesesteak sliders last time for Philly. Not sure about anything else...

But San Fran, now. Hmmm. 49 of something? Nuggets, maybe?

Subject: It's About Free Speech


Watch the ad that CBS refuses to air, and join our campaign. Just click on the image below.

Then help keep the momentum growing:
1. Spread the word. Share the ad with your friends and family.
2. Call in. Tell CBS headquarters what you think.
3. Post it. Put a banner or button on your website.
4. Get published. Write a letter to the editor of your local paper.


Dear MoveOn member,
Over the last four days, something incredible has happened. CBS has received over 340,000 emails and phone calls asking it to stop its censorship. Clearly a huge number of us believe that CBS's refusal to run our Voter Fund ad, while allowing the Bush White House to run an advocacy ad of its own, is just plain wrong.

Columnists and editorial pages are writing about it. And on Monday, FCC commissioner Michael Copps issued a statement on it. These folks understand that this issue isn't just about our Voter Fund's ad -- an ad by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals was censored as well. At heart, it's about free speech. Huge companies like CBS that control access to the publicly owned airwaves have to air opposing points of view.

CBS still refuses to run "Child's Pay." But together, we can increase the pressure on CBS. And through the power of the Internet, we can make sure that millions of people see the ad and learn about the controversy. As a first step, forward this email or the original message attached below to your friends. Ask them to check out the ad at:

Hey, Spaw — with your feline connection, I'd have bet you'd be a Panthers fan...

I probably won't watch the game, but being from North Carolina I'll be sorta pulling or the Panthers.

Bobert — nice to hear there are others who lament the passing of the Browns. They were my favorite team from back in the '50s when Jim Brown was running fullback. Lord, what a powerhouse he was!
