Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football: Cincinnati Bengals at Chicago Bears 09/19/20219/19/2021  Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football’.
Last Week, I live-blogged my favorite NFL team since I was 7 years old the Miami Dolphins defeating New England Patriots. This week, it is my home team’s turn to be posted, Chicago Bears. This Afternoon, the Chicago Bears will play their home opener against Cincinnati Bengals. Bears are hoping to rebound from last week’s game. But questions are being asked about when to start their 1st Round Draft Pick Quarterback Justin Fields. As for Today, Andy Dalton will play against his old team. As for the Bengals, they are coming off an overtime victory over Vikings, as the infographic says. And Cincinnati’s Quarterback Joe Burrow has some motivation to beat the Bears. Especially if Justin Fields plays. Buckeyes choose Fields over Burrow to be the starter in 2019. Therefore, Joe went to LSU and the rest is College Football History. But Burrow would like to make NFL history this year and it continues against Chicago Bears. It is Cincinnati Bengals and Chicago Bears, coming up shortly.

Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football: Miami Dolphins at New England Patriots 09/12/20219/12/2021  Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football’. Tonight, it is an AFC East Showdown, between Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots.
Dolphins are coming off a 10-6 season. However, they did not make the playoffs. In the loss at the end of Regular Season. Then Rookie Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa played his worst game of 2020. It was one of the reasons why this offseason the Miami Dolphins were fighting rumors that they would make it trade to Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans. Dolphins Head Coach Brian Flores has said that Tua is the QB for the only franchise to have a perfect season in the NFL. So, Tua is the starting quarterback. And in his first opening day start, he needs to prove to the Miami Dolphins Organization and the fans, that he is their franchise quarterback. However, Mac Jones has a longer leash by the New England Patriots due to him being a rookie. He got the starting job by replacing Cam Newton. The only pressure that the Patriots’ Crimson Tide Quarterback is that it will be the same any Patriot Quarterback after Tom Brady. And that is to try and as many super bowls or more than Brady. Patriots are hoping that Jones can get them back into the Playoffs. They did not make the Playoffs last year. It is Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots, coming up shortly.  Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on College Football’. Tonight, it is Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Florida State Seminoles.

As for the Seminoles, they are going to play this season, in honor of their Late Great Head Coach Bobby Bowden, who passed away this off-season.

Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Horse Racing’. Tonight, it is a Late Pick 4 at Stickney, Illinois’ Hawthorne Racecourse’, featuring a SuperHigh5 Carryover of $41,055. All these races are with the pacing horses. Here are the races for Tonight’s Late Pick 4.  Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Professional Football’. This Afternoon, it is an NFL Preseason Game, between Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears.
Last Year, the Dolphins were 2 wins better than the Bears, but Bears made it to the Playoffs. Dolphins are going to start Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback. Last Year, Tua didn’t start the season at quarterback until Week 8 against Rams. He played well enough to get the Dolphins to a 10-6 Season, but had a bad game, against Bills in Buffalo to wrap up the season. Then came the offseason, where there were trade rumors of him for Deshaun Watson, that circulated all over the Internet. So, there is a lot of pressure for the 2nd Year Quarterback, to improve on last year, otherwise it will be another offseason trying to find a quarterback in either free agency or the draft. For the Bears, they made the Playoffs. However, they said adios to Mitchell Trubisky. They went out to get veteran Andy Dalton and drafted Justin Fields. Dalton will start today but expect a lot of playing time from Justin Fields. Also, in today’s game look to see how Dolphins Pro Bowler Xavien Howard look in this Preseason. He had a holdout before training camp and asked for a trade, but Dolphins and he agreed on a restructured contract. It will also be interesting to see if they are any other defensive backs who could play better, than the League’s leader in interceptions, from last year. It is Miami Dolphins and Chicago Bears, coming up shortly.  Hello, and welcome to another edition of ‘Live-Blogging Shish on Baseball’.
