NFL Football and College Basketball

My local football team, The Washington Commanders, beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to advance in the playoffs.  If I understood a local sports announcer correctly, the Commanders have won their last 5 games on the last play of the game (offensively or defensively)!  Talk about heart-stopping endings...

They need a week of rest and so do I.  I feel exhausted after every game.  

And the Univ of MD prides itself on basketball.  The Men are doing well.  The #8 Women are doing better.  Sadly, they lost to the #4 USC team, but it could have gone either way right to the end when USC hit some baskets and MD had some bounce-outs.  But they won the next BIG 10 conference game, so that helped.  They are 14-1 which is very good.

More heart-stopping endings.

I used to like watching basketball but have rather gone off it in recent times. It seems to be too much about what happens in the last 5 minutes of the game, with all the earlier play merely filling in time.
As for gridiron football ... dearie, dearie, dearie. Thirty seconds play, then let's all stop for a committee meeting. You've gotta get yourself in front of an Australian Rules football match, Mark, and start living! LOL
