My old crew of buddies prided ourselves on creating our own little vernacular. If I had said, “‘Tri-Medley’?-is that even a freakin’ word?” My buddies would immediately respond in unison, “It is now.” And then we would add it to our nomenclature. Damn, I miss those fellas. TO THE TRI-MEDLEY OF GAMES!!!!

Mia/LA-Jared “No, I’m Not That Guy-I Hate Subway!” Goff makes his pro debut just days before fans/media associated with the team were going to lynch HC Fisher. Say your goodbye’s to Case Keenum’s starting career-he was everything everyone thought he would be. The Fins have reeled off 4 straight and they still have the Niners, Jets and Cards left to play. The bad news is that the Ravens, the Bills on the road and the Pats are looming in the gloaming. If Miami grabs a wildcard spot they will have earned it. By the by, qb Tanneyhill hasn’t thrown the ball into the hands of the opposition in 4 games. If he makes it to 5 he’s got the record for his team.

NE/SF-The Gronk and wr Hogan are out. Te Bennett and wr Edeleman are licking their wounds and aren’t at full strength. Bill Murray’s line from that movie that I can’t remember seems apropos-“IT JUST DOESN’T MATTER!” Pats romp and Brady gets at least 4 scores because he knows I need it desperately.

Phi-Sea-Oh looky! A game that might be eyeball-worthy! If the Seahawks close this one out, look for them to go on a major roll because they’ve got easily winnable games from here on out. All four of the Eagles losses have been on the road-expect that number to swell to five after the clock hits 0:00. Some team has to fall behind in the “Oprah wears a micro-bikini”-tight NFC East and I’m betting it’s HC Pederson’s crew.

There… GET AT IT BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!!
