for some reason, Tampa Bay-New Orleans is deemed more regional than the lions out here in Madison. I was pissed when I turned the tv on, but, now with this score….

I guess I should be happy for the FF league in which I have Kitna starting, because he’ll be throwing the rest of the game……

for the record, the KROck feed IS available on line, so I’m able to listen to this travesty on the radio….at this moment, I’m not sure it’s a good thing….
