Dear Diary: It's been a bit hard summoning enthusiasm for these pre-season affairs. Don't get me wrong-I love football but the second half of these games look like a bunch of anonymous wrestling fans enjoying their day-pass from some anger management facility. The thing is...there's a ton of compelling drama going

Hi everyone, Senor back from two weeks of playing musical theater for a two-week break before going back to play more musical theater. Which means I can re-take the recaps! For those of you who missed Rikki's excellent job of filling in for me, we ended the round of 32

Although his powers of evil are completely capable of making it happen, not even RGshithead (that's Roger Goodell) would cancel six games. Right? (my glass is half full btw) So here we are-cheering for football itself, our fave teams and most importantly, NO INJURIES. This is who we are, folks.

The Maestro - August 11, 2016August 11, 2016

So after the Hall of Fame Game debacle earlier this week, I guess I was wrong - real football's return was premature. At any rate, maybe it will give you pause to pay more attention to this week's matchups in the meantime, even with preseason games finally beginning tonight! I
