NFL – There will be a major conflict Thursday for me.

Monday’s rainout of Game 3 of the World Series between my Phillies and the hated Astros in Philadelphia moved everything back a day, which means Game 5 of the series will conflict with my 7-0 Eagles on “Thursday Night Football” as they will be in Houston to take on the Texans.

I will also be working in the office Thursday night. To say my blood pressure may be at an all-time high would be an understatement, especially if the Phillies have a chance to clinch the World Series title. Have to concentrate on work. No celebrations.

Yeah, right. Ha ha.
