2016 Quotables (Week 16 – Submissions)

blaxabbath - December 27, 2016December 26, 2016

Jee golly, as far as Quotables is concerned, in the penultimate week of the 2016 season, the NFL finally produced the perfect product. That is to say, games that were riddled with injuries and missed clutch kicks. I understand there may have even been some playoff implications to add to

15 quejas sur la Week 16

This was quite a week, wasn't it? So, by my reckoning, the path to the Super Bowl is pretty much laid out in plushy feathers for the New England Patriots. There is only one combination of factors that result in there being a chance, A CHANCE, of anyone else representing the

Detroit (-7.5) at Dallas Dallas takes on Detroit in the House That Jerry Built With A Big Assist From Public Funds That Could Undoubtedly Have Been Put To Much Better Use But Fuck That Have You Seen How Big Our Video Screens Are? The Cowboys come in at 12-2, having found a

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Boxing Day Edition (with Lesser Footy Previews)

King Hippo - December 26, 2016December 25, 2016

Holy crap, NFL Network's decision to turn a mild Christmas Sunday afternoon into Thursday Night magically transformed its usual fetid product, on a scale not unlike the virgin birth. After a lackluster first half that saw the Ratbirds dominate the balance of play (after Yinzburgh's opening drive) but trail

Den/KC-The O's of both these teams have a lot to answer for and Alex Smith is doing his best. Pressed on his unit's failure to score he blurfed up this mighty gem-"We've got to play better." I wonder if he emphasized the "We", the "Got", the "Play" or the "Better"?

Well look at you, all survive-y and shit after at least one go-round of the festivities! Good work. There should be plenty more where that comes from so take some time for yourself, pour a glass of cheer (or bleach if you're a Titans, Bills, Chargers, Seahawks or Raiders fan)

King Hippo - December 25, 2016December 24, 2016

Holy fuck, that was an intense Christmas Eve afternoon, eh? Makes me kinda wish cigarettes did anything for me, so I could have one and come down a little bit. A big Hippo Thanks! to Sam Bradford and Adam Thielen for patiently waiting their turns on my fantasy playoffs (locked)

Let's face it, or me. Let's say me. The drunkin-er I get the better the football is. Right now I'm not sure the football can get any better. TO THE GAME! Cin/Hou-It was only a matter of time before a guy by the name of SAVAGE! unseated a dude by the

So many questions, so very few answers... TO THE GAMES! Ind/Oak-Indy is looking to save their season and Oakland's young and powerful O is licking their chops looking at the opposing D. [record scratch noise] Qb Carr has struggled mightily since his finger got all banged up. The last two games

If you try real hard you can pretend that all of these games have playoff implications because everyone is in until they're not, right? [deliberately ignores San Diego/Cleveland matchup for the sake of argument] Oh, what do you care at this point? You've no time to read this. You've got

Alas, there is no Lesser Footy to pass the nigh three hours until Greater Footy makes Saturday feel like a Sunday. I hope you brought a book, opened a gift early, and/or are Jewish. I was exceedingly worried about SD both sitting on a lead AND ball security in wet/windy
