    My class is in a breakout room, so I turned on the match on Paramount +.
    Pleased to see the score and looks like a great crowd.

    Edit: and JUST as I type that, Detroit (not) City scores.

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    Not sure if is pure speed or his anticipation, but TLB recovery runs amaze me sometimes. Maybe both.

    Shokalook out, Borso in. Dean was getting manhandled over on that left side.

    That was a cheap hack on Rad…with the other cards given that warranted a yellow

    This is the sort of quality that Paramount provides.

    I asked the same thing. I’m gonna wait until the game is over and go back, because I missed it.

    Literally no one. The stream was fully pixelated and they never showed a replay or explained what happened.

    All I saw was the players over by the sideline and then reading the Fire player body language it seemed like he did something boneheaded because no one was coming over and putting an arm around his shoulder. Of course I could be way off having seen nothing.

    Wasn’t clear to me if it was source outage or Pluto outage…

    Definitely the stadium's wifi, then. And I'm checking with the journos right now and so far we can't figure out still. We'll probably have to wait until we hear an account of it from the coaches.
