Simple experiment: Google images the term "Team Name" Fans and list all the categories that come up. AFC Bengals 1. Like 2. Sad 3. Female 4. Ravens 5. Saints 6. Steelers We are one team into this and already we are referencing other teams because no one really looks up the term "Bengals Fans" that often. Bills 1. Tailgate 2. Sad 3. Snow 4.

INT. OFFICE - DAY Open in an office in Landover, Maryland. It is the day before Christmas, and a winter storm has shut down the D.C. Metro area. A bitter wind blusters outside the windows. JAY GRUDEN: ...I wish you'd reconsider, sir. Christmas is not a time to be dining alone. DAN SNYDER:

Hippo Thoughts – Week 15

Reflections

King Hippo - December 21, 2015December 20, 2015

These be all half-hearted again, as Denver shit the second half bed even more mightily this week, losing the 2nd half 21-0 in Yinzburgh. All 3 AFC Wild Card contenders (well, 4 if you count Denver now that they are in the midst of blowing the division to the

Commentist Beer Barrel: Hans, Solo

makeitsnowondem - December 20, 2015

My beer biases are, by now, probably pretty clear to any regular reader of the Beer Barrel. I won't deny them, and I certainly won't apologize for them. I love big beers. I love barleywines, imperial stouts, double IPAs, anything with a double-digit ABV and a whole lot of flavor.

Ari @ Phi: The Iggles are fighting for that "we're just barely better than you" title that is the NFC East championship. Arizona? They've got the top down, the music is pumping and all of QB Carson's balls are in the air like he just don't care. Go Cards!

Stupid window crashed on me and I am typing this for a second time. Like it was even very good the first time, for fuck's sake. Browns at Seahawks (4:05, Fox) Better late than never? I suppose the SeaTruthers can take up that rallying cry, after a rash of RB

Chi @ Min: Cutler really likes WR Jeffrey-the latter is targeted 35% of the time on pass plays. The problem today is that Alshon is listed as questionable. Sooo....go Cam Meredith! (who?) SOMEBODY has to help Cutler break his tie with Pheel Simms on the all-time TD list. Eight of

His Right Honorable Lord Lordship the Lordly - December 20, 2015

Good morning, Week 15 is here. Jets won a sloppy game against the Cowboys, securing their first winning season since 2010, when the team went to the AFC Championship game. There were also a couple bowls of varying quality. Utah held off their traditional rivals BYU after the Cougars mounted a

No see, it's Thursday Night Football disguised as Other Night Football. It's more special that way. Do you feel the specialness that's being imposed upon you by the heads that are talking? No? I knew that you're the sort of commentariat that wouldn't fall for that sort of thing. NYJ @ Dal:

Are you ready for some glorified exhibition university footy? It could be better. It should be better. We are in the semifinal round of the 1-AA tournament, and there's no valid reason why we can't do a 16-team 1-A version, too. For the record, I think this will
