The Raiders win 38-24, so that makes it a sweep today for the home teams. Hopefully that will continue tomorrow. 11:05:36 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

Game update. The Jets have just scored a touchdown, so Oakland's lead is cut to 24-17. Which causes me to ponder. If the Jets score another touchdown with only seconds left, would they go for two? I doubt any coach in the NFL would have the guts to go for two in such a situation. I think they would go for the tie, and hope to win in overtime. 10:30:09 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

Right now the Oakland Raiders are ahead of the New York Jets 16-10. At least this playoff game is more interesting than the Tampa/Philadelphia game earlier today. 10:03:25 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

ABC is pumping the ads for The Chair. A game show hosted by John McEnroe. Is this for real? 9:58:54 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost to Philadelphia, and the farwells for Tony Dungy are running rampant. Listen, after owernership got Kishan, and Brad Johnson, you got to figure they expect more than a first round loss. 7:38:27 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

Ok, this is cool enough. I have entered three posts on this new fangle Radio Weblog and it seems to work easy enough. Now, I ponder. How can I edit my existing Manila site using Radio V8? Where is the old Radio app? Right now it appears to be a web server and a customized browser interface. 6:00:49 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]

I am playing around with Radio V8 while watching the Tampa Bay/Philadelphia wild card game. So far this is a boring game, which is not surprising given the offenses of these two teams. During the pregame shows there was much talk about the fact that Tampa Bay coach Tony Dungy might lose his job. I think that Tony Dungy is one of the most overrated coaches in professional football. He is right up there with Dennis Green, and probably deserves to lose his job the same year as his former boss. Why am I down on Dungy? Look at the product on the field. The Bucs have a great defense, perhaps the best in the NFC, which is no surprise since Dungy is a former defensive coordinator, but what about that offense? The offense has been the same throughout the Dungy years. It has few threats and doesn't put up enough points on the board. That puts a lot of pressure on the defense to play a perfect game, which is difficult to do in every game. Look at the results. Sure, the Bucs have had winning seasons, which given their history is a huge step in the right direction, but the goal in the NFL is to win the Super Bowl. The question that the owners have to ask themselves is, is the team going in the right direction to win a Super Bowl? I don't think it is, and I think it is time to make a change. 5:56:47 PM    [Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "liveTopicsSeeAlso" hasn't been defined.]
