Divisional Round Final Day Filler

Our man Zed has something teed up for tomorrow, but it's been a few days, and I know y'all are dying to have a place to talk about this afternoon's gridiron action, so I'm here for you. 

In a way, this one's tied to Z, as well. 

I don't know why, but I seem to get a lot of things in my Twitter feed about the Buffalo Bills. In particular, about what terrific dudes Stefon Diggs and Josh Allen seem to be. There's a great piece here on the relationships the two players have with youngsters. 

Here's Diggs with five year-old Aydin Laborde. The pair's relationship started in preseason, shortly after Aydin's father had passed away. Diggs has made it a point to stay a part of Aydin's life.
Allen has a similar relationship with Abbie McNett, who he met this summer as she was battling cancer. They got together last week, too.
That's the good stuff.

Hi guys! Back from a swim meet in Ocala, Fla’s horse country. Was able to watch the Jags game. Disappointing but what a great season for them. They should be relevant for years to come.

This Dallas/SF game is shaping up to be a white knuckler for their fans. After Maher’s 5th extra point miss in a row, I don’t think it will come down to a kick. That guy might have to find his own way home.

Outro music to this round of commercials was T. Rex Children of the Revolution. Nice.

Speaking of elite athletes being cool to kids, my kid turns 11 tomorrow. As I’ve mentioned before, she’s a goalkeeper. A friend of mine who’s a part of my weekly pickup basketball game is cousins (and tight) with Ashlyn Harris. She sent my kid a video message tonight. That was one of the best moments I’ve had as parent in a long time.

Hey Whit, I'm curious: what's your take on the new Portsmouth casino? Do you plan to indulge? From your professional vantage, any potential effects on attracting talent or keeping talent in Hampton Roads? I'll hang up and listen.
