> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > Meanhoo in other nooz: I find this interesting and disturbing. It doesn’t say outside of the headline that the NFL made the declaration that it hit a wire, and even say: > We have some finality to Will Reichard’s mysterious field goal miss last week that appeared to hit a camera wire… kind of. What does “kind of” mean? That it “kind of” looked like it hit a wire (which I agree with) or the NFL determined that it did “kind of” hit it? If after further review they determine that it hit a wire, they have to fix that. There should never, ever be an obstacle in the path of a football on its way to the goalposts unless it’s a defender’s glove. This is serious. If those wires are in any way able to deflect a ball they have to go. It makes the NFL look like bumbling amateurs otherwise. ---

I suspect the Skycam in Hotspur Stadium was temporary (Premier League has its own proprietary camera systems), and I wonder if they just screwed up its implementation. Presumably the NFL was there helping them, though? ---

In the Things That Make You Feel Really Old department: [Andy Reid](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpXjODOG5DI) was asked about the recent resurgence of Travis Kelce. He responded with “We’ve been giving him a lot of Geritol…” Later, on the Kelce brothers podcast, neither of them knew what Geritol was. > “Geritol? Is that an aging thing?” Jason asked. > > “What is Geritol?” Travis said. “Yeah, look this up.” > > “It’s got to be something with old people,” Jason said. > > “It’s like from the ‘70s or something,” Travis said.

Tonight’s matchup between the two geriatric quarterbacks, Rodgers and Flacco, is _not_ the oldest quarterback matchup in NFL history. Rodgers and Flacco, at 41 and 40, are a combined 81 years old. In 2020, Tom Brady and Drew Brees were a combined 84 years old when they met twice in the regular season, and then 85 when they met in the playoffs. ---
