An Egg Sucking Dog

I was watching the Bears-Panthers football game on Fox this afternoon and saw something not typical. The team trailing at halftime found a way to win, as the Bears had a late rally to prevail, 23-22. This was aided by the play often known as a 'pick 6'- an interception return for a touchdown, which put them ahead 20-19. They scored two touchdowns in a short amount of time, less than a minute apart. The Bears weren't doing well for a while, and the Panthers were able to kick field goals, 5 in all. But the Panthers didn't want to kick to Devin Hester, and many kicks were short which still gave the Bears good field position. It's too much like an intentional walk in baseball, seems wrong to be afraid of one player. At halftime, one of the studio commentators said the Bears need to show up, it was ex-coach Jimmy Johnson. Before the game we watched a video, 'History Detectives'. The tree segments included World War I posters, a Valley Forge map, and the earliest transistor radios. The fourth or 'bonus' segment looked like one I had seen before, as it was about a pioneer in making Las Vegas a casino town.
   It was odd to see some of the ads during this game, like the ones from V.W. One of them made sense, as there were cars in it and a Johnny Cash song about an 'egg sucking dog'. It was about an ugly dog being sent to the veterinary, looked like a bulldog to me. But another just had people laughing in it, and no cars at all. It would be the same as if there was a beer commercial with no beer in it. I didn't know it was a Volswagen commercial until the end when I saw their logo. I need to know what you're selling if I'm going to buy it.
   I did watch some of the World Series tonight, Game Four. The Giants did win it, 4-3, but needed extra innings. It was a sweep over the Tigers. I still needed to get errand running done, like dishes, trash, and groceries, so I knew it wouldn't work to sit down and watch all of it.
