At Least 82 Jets' Stories
As I write this, there are still two of my stories in the hopper from the previous two games the Winnipeg Jets have played awaiting approval from the moderators.

Steel Kicking
Sunday’s 41-17 home win over the Atlanta Falcons was huge for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Tomlin and Roethlisberger passed Chuck Noll and Terry Bradshaw for most all-time wins as a Head Coach-QB Tandem in Steelers history. They also looked confident and relevant again.

A Bonus: Video Tidbit from the Jets' Fanfest Day
I did have a couple of younger people who were very curious about my camera when I was shooting at the Winnipeg Jets Fan Fest on September 15. I did try and do some handheld video shooting while I was there. Not the greatest footage I have ever taken in my life, which leads me to believe that if I ever get the opportunity to shoot anything at one of the practices in the future, I should make SURE I have my tripod with me! In any case, before the one child started getting overly personal with my camera and madly poking the zoom lens while I was trying to take photos, this was the bit of footage I did get.

Game #1: Winnipeg Jets vs St. Louis Blues
Through looking at the simple statistics during the season opening game for the Winnipeg Jets in this 2018-2019 season, the win was very decisive. The game saw five different goal scorers on the stats sheet for the Jets in Patrik Laine (power play goal), Adam Lowry (short handed goal), Blake Wheeler, Kyle Connor, and Brandon Tanev, with goaltender Connor Hellebuyck playing a nearly perfect game, only allowing one goal, keeping the other 41 shots out. However, as is the case with any hockey game, there’s far more to look at than just the final score.

NFL Week 5 As I write this (Sunday morning, October 7), the Giants are basically done after looking like crap at home against the Saints in week 4. Eli looked like crap again and it will probably be another long year for the NYG.
