~ Lights Out ~

No this is not a bad joke towards the Chargers.  Tho the Bills did win the game today 23-14, it was done without power for almost half the game.  Believe it or not a metalic helium balloon got caught up in the electrical wires outside the stadium and caused a power outage at the stadium and for some surrounding businesses.  This affected everyone.  At first the NFL stopped play, but then they continued it was without the scoreboard, without the play clock, without any form of communication.  The officials did a count down on the field for the quarterbacks to get the plays off and believe it or not both teams were called for a delay of game.  The radio play was done by the announcers calling into the stations via cell phones, and then it was broadcast.  TV coverage?  Oh we had none we got to watch another game during the outage.  How freaking nuts is that?   For a short time power was restored, then a generator a block away blew causing another power outage.    Ummm...  guess the Chargers lost the juice.  Ok sorry Charger fans.. couldn't help it, that was a bad joke.
