Re: Random Cartography
In my experience Google Maps has never updated fast enough for it to make a difference if traffic gets much worse or an accident pops up if I'm using it to, say, go into Denver for a Nuggets game or something. It's about a 40 minute drive for me mostly interstate.

Colfax is advertised around here as the longest continuously named street in the U.S. but I have no idea who made that declaration and/or what the criteria is.

One day it went down 15 minutes when I didn't hit a single red on about a 4-mile stretch where there are at least a dozen lights. It was a glorious day, tbh.

Just to close the book on this we ended up being in starting Christmas morning and flew home on the 30th. We really enjoyed it.

Re: NFL 2023 Week 11
Sideline reporters are only good for getting injury/player updates. The Thursday night Bengals/Ravens game a great example of that.
Interviews with coaches, players or any other staff are a complete waste of time and frankly should be banned. I don’t know who enjoys those or finds them interesting.
