Watching the Packers' pre-season game:

My wife is so tight-fisted she's been known to squeeze a quarter and make nickels fall out of it. Thus, we only have basic cable at my house.

Basic cable, in Baraboo, means ESPN is snowy: you can see what's going on, but you can barely hear anything.

Thus, I watched the Packers/Chargers game on TV, but also turned the radio guys on for the audio. Annoying, because they're a couple seconds ahead of the TV, but there you go. Until I can afford the ultra-satellite dish, anyway.

Thus, I was in position to both watch Longwell's 53-yard in-the-drizzle field goal, and listen to Larry McCarren's extremely amusing shouldn't-have-eaten-that-fifth-bowl-of-chili sound effects at the same time.

Yes, I know it was only a preseason game, but that was really fun to watch. Except for the shots of the Chargers' kicker. Wow, did I feel bad for him.
