Disappointing Football and the Train in Mazomanie

 

Tonight I was going to finally post the video of the train we saw in Mazomanie by Lake Marion, but it's taking forever to process. I don't know why; when I upload videos from iMovie, it only takes a few minutes, but this is raw footage from my iPhone. Is it that much harder to process? It says it's going to take half an hour, and of course I started this project too late at night, as usual.

This was a very disappointing week in football. The Packers were terrible on Sunday night and totally deserved to lose to the Lions. They especially had some weird penalties, like when the Lions were going to kick a long field goal, but then Rasul Douglas just walked up and picked up the ball, so then it was a much shorter field goal and easier for them to make. Or when a Lion was injured, and the trainer rushed onto the field to help him, but Quay Walker shoved him and got a huge penalty and ejected from the game. This was the second Sunday Night game he was ejected from, so people on social media were speculating that there was a show on at ten that he always watches, football be damned. I don't know why our defensive players were doing such strange things rather than, say, stopping Jameel Williams, who I wish was still a Packer. Can he ever run! 

Then last night the College Championship game was already disappointing because neither Michigan nor Ohio State made it in, and then the Georgia Bulldogs trounced the TCU Horned Frogs 65-7. Not to mention that Georgia also stole the G's on their helmets straight from the Packers. Who wants to watch something like that, even if you aren't a TCU fan? Even if you were a Georgia fan, it wouldn't really be fun to watch. 

Okay, I guess YouTube was kidding about the video taking half an hour to process. Here it is.


I hope it was worth the two-month wait. Of course I stopped making the video just before the train blew its whistle. I should have filmed the whole thing, but my video was already two minutes long, and the train went on for another three minutes. It was very long. Anyway, this gives you an idea of how pretty it was in front of Lake Marion in Mazomanie.

That horrible National Championship game was painful even to watch for less than a half hour. The Packers loss was disappointing but I'm not surprised or upset, it was kind of amazing that they even pulled themselves together enough late in the season to be in position for a playoff spot.However,I am disturbed by the fact that Tom Brady and the very mediocre Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made the playoff field with an unimpressive 8-9 record because they happened to finish on top of the worst division in the league,and they have home field advantage against the 12-4 Cowboys. How does this arrogant jerk who un-retired and wrecked his own marriage coming back with nothing more to prove always get the magic lucky breaks? Not just in football, but in his personal life too, he's already dating another model. I hope Dallas annihilates TB and TB!
