Monday Night Football:
What was billed to be a playoff match up turned out to be yet another Monday Night blowout between the Saints & Seahawks. The Seahawks dominated all sides of the ball destroying the Saints 34-7.

Final Thoughts:
Before getting to today's shows I want to address something that occurred earlier today with me. I was the victim of cyber bullying. Today I had his comment deleted but next time you want to insult my friends/family I will BLAST you. Yes, Randy, I have your comment before I had it deleted and if you want to attack me fine but friends/family are off limits. My fight everyday in life makes me stronger so you being a complete A** is nothing compared to what I go through each day.
Now on to the shows today.
My58 saw the return of Lisa, Jaclyn, and Deirdre but to be honest they really kept it too newsy for me. They did talk about Cyber Week in their business report and I included the ESPN Fan vote in each of the stations. It's important that we honor the Sign Lady. She's been a part of the Sacramento Kings Fanbase forever and she is a Breast Cancer survivor.
Fox had some cool stories today. Zohreen talking about the Russian American Media giving to underprivileged kids this Christmas is a very cool story. Sabrina showed how to safely decorate our fireplace and she also talked about a new book for kids that don't have a chimney for Santa to come down.
Good Day Sacramento  Had the most fun of the 3 shows ad they always do. First Mark invaded Ihop for their new pancake flavors they asked him to try. Courtney showed more cool gadgets including glasses that brought out some cool designs when looking at holiday lights including 3D. Ken and Marianne talked with Kristie Alley about her return to TV. Some great events coming up or taking place. First See's Candy donating to soldiers. The other event taking place is in the Lodi light parade, with the honoring of the Lodi high school student with her being named Grand Marshall. Finally Courtney introduce us to some hopefuls for Americans Next Top Models. I don't know if any will make it to the show but they will have some divas for sure.
Until tomorrow have a great day.
