NFL Films just put up the highlight film from last Sunday’s Lions/Browns game, featuring Matthew Stafford mic’d. Stafford took a wicked hit on the last play of the game, and was essentially out with an injured shoulder. But due to a penalty on the Browns, the Lions had one play, no time on the clock, from the 1 yard line, for the game. Stafford went back in and threw a TD, and Jason “Money” Hanson K’d the extra point for the win. Gotta hand it to the kid, he is one tough cookie. Pretty cool hearing the game audio like that…I can’t stand the announcers. Do they have cable channels with just the player audio and not the announcer? That would be cool, but then again I don’t have cable so I guess it doesn’t matter.

…tethering via PDANet. Not the fastest, but it works!

Switched to the new Motorola Droid today (VZW). Gave up my Blackberry 8900. Using the droid now for this post. It is an incredible machine!

I love that Google’s doodle today features Big Bird. Hard to believe Sesame Street is 40 today. Used to watch it all the time when I was a kid. Oscar, Bert, Ernie, and Mr. Snuffleupagus were my favorites. Other kids’ shows on my list back then were “Davey and Goliath”, “Jot”, and of course The Three Stooges. Kaiju movies on the weekend (back when Channel 50 was cool) and Sir Graves Ghastly were required…Gamera and Mothra were the bomb. Oh, and Oopsie the Clown and The Ghoul.
