Good luck with that. I see us going back into a reverse west windflow on them dates and my lows will be around 78. If anyone reports a temp below 70 this coming week pleas let me know.

Boycott means not watching the games .... the stadium revenues are drop in the bucket compared to the mega millions from TV ads, do the math.

Once sponsors get the message that TV viewership is down, they will pressure the league to man-up and throw the criminals off the teams.

good luck with that -

if you're looking for moral direction, would recommend attending church once in awhile and leave football to those who enjoy the game

My last comment: it's not a game it's a business. And the boycotts are starting.

Back to weather...getting a sprinkle here in Gulfport right now.

A gentle rain off/on over 90 minutes gave us 0.10 on the gauge. Sunny again now.

Flooding just a mile to my south and not a drop in 5 days. Looks like a build up to my east could let loose and i may get lucky.

Don't know how, but we totalled 1.5" from the two showers yesterday and whatever happened overnight. Must have been something good overnight.

Nothing measurable today.

NFL owners have a contract with the networks - latest one pays billions ($27 billion, in fact). Don't think you'll be putting a dent in their earnings. Networks are bending over backwards to get NFL rights.

Meanwhile teams like the Bucs support Breast Cancer Research, have sponsored 21 local schools (11,000 students), show military appreciation each and every game, employ thousands of local people to work in their organization, in the stadium, concessions. The area benefits economically from the franchise (tourism). So enjoy boycotting your TV watching - I'm sure they'll survive without you.
