Hi, Sam! Hi, Mark! I hope you've both had a great day!

So how did the cricket test go?

And my Eagles crushed the Bears 31-3. We're 10-1 and still tops in the NFL!

Good, the Aussies have to get 46 more runs to get victory with about 85 overs in the day to go and all of our wickets in hand.

PhoenixRising

Okay. I hope that's good, because I didn't get all of that.

Steelers-Packers game starts in an hour, Sam!

stlavin95

It's an good thing haha Awesome. won't be able to watch the game since it's not on TV down here to watch unfortunately.

PhoenixRising

Thanks, Sam. All I know about Cricket is that it's a little like baseball.

Is it getting warmer where you are? I know that it's Spring for you over there in Aus. It's getting colder here, although it was a bit warm where I am for November.

stlavin95

Yeah, they are some similarities but an few differences from what I've heard. It is getting warmer too down, but that's expected with summer in an couple of days.

PhoenixRising

Yeah, Baseball is a bit more athletic and competitive, like a lot of American sports.

You guys are so lucky having all the warm weather! And I'm sorry for not replying sooner, Sam. I was watching your Steelers take on the Packers. It's tied at 14-14 at halftime.

Hi, Mark! I don't know if I'm gonna see you tonight because I have to go to bed soon, so I hope you're feeling better and I'll see you tomorrow! Get some sleep and have a good night!

Goodnight, Sam!

stlavin95

Debatable on the more athletic That's fine, I was out anyway. What's the score now? Night

PhoenixRising

Steelers are up 28-21 in the Fourth Quarter. A lot more competitive than anyone expected.

Goodnight, Sam!

stlavin95

Ended up watching the final quarter and seemed like Hundley or whatever his name played a lot better against the Steelers than he did any other team, so that probably played an part in why the score was so close.

Penguins play the Flyers tonight, I cannot wait to watch these two teams that hate each other so much play

stlavin95

Sounds like you are liking that

PhoenixRising

Yeah, Brett Hundley. He had a pretty good game last night. He'd been losing games since Aaron Rodgers went out with an injury, but he took Ben Roethlisberber and the Steelers all the way to the fourth quarter last night, and the Steelers ended up winning on a field goal in the final minutes. I know the Packers will love having Rodgers back when he's cleared for the final two games, but they still need a better defense and some better receivers and running backs. Rodgers can't carry the team on his arm and legs forever.

OMG, the Flyers and Penguins are playing tonight, Mark? Well, I'll be watching Monday Night Football tonight, so I'll have to miss that one. I usually watch hockey after the NFL season is over anyway.

I hope you're feeling better, Mark!

stlavin95

Yeah he did But the Steelers definitely didn't play to their full ability though.

PhoenixRising

True, but a win is still a win. The Steelers will take it and chalk it up to being a fluke. Packers are still tough, even without Rodgers. The Patriots let the Chargers nearly beat them, remember? I think they'll be okay. They need to worry about the Patriots, who they'll play in a couple of weeks.

And I've heard news that the NFL might flex the Rams/Eagles game in two weeks into Sunday Night Football. The Eagles play the Seahawks on Sunday Night Football this weekend and they're scheduled to play the Rams at 4:30 the following weekend. The game scheduled for SNF in two weeks on December 10th is the Steelers/Ravens. But the ratings for the Eagles/Cowboys game last week on Sunday Night Football were so good that the NFL wants to flex the Steelers/Ravens to earlier that afternoon and flex the Eagles/Rams game to Sunday Night Football instead. Sorry, Sam. And it's not just because the ratings the Eagles got last week were great, it's also because this is gonna be a game between two division leaders with quarterbacks who were both the first and second round draft picks from the class of 2016 - Rams QB Jared Goff and Eagles QB Carson Wentz. Dak Prescott of the Cowboys was the fourth round pick that year. I'm really sorry if my team's game bumps your team's game back, Sam.

And the Eagles also play the Raiders on the season finale of Monday Night Football on Christmas night. Wow, so many prime time games this year! If they do flex the Eagles/Rams game, that'll make it six prime time games counting the Thursday Night game against the Panthers and the Monday Night game against the Redskins.
