Oh my, we’ve got some jugger-naughty thrills and spills coming our way don’t we? I’m genuinely excited for what’s in front of us. Let’s take a not-so-deep dive (“NO RUNNING NEAR THE POOL!”) into the festivities… TO THE GAMES!
L.A. RAMS/SEATTLE:
De facto NFC West Championship Game? It sure feels/seems like it so let’s call it that. If the Rams take it they’ll be up two games with two left to go and the Titans and Niners remaining on their sked. On t’udder side, the Oceanbirds are staring at the Cowboys and Cards afterwards. As noted last week/week before, (it’s all a blur, folks) Seattle’s O relies on qb Wilson’s arm and legs for points to an out-sized extent-containing him in the pocket is a fool’s errand but one which the Rams edge rushers will attempt to do nonetheless. The Rammers also desperately need cb Tru Jackson to recover his form after committing two godawful penalties which contributed to the loss last week. Wr-wise Robert Woods is back in the fold after a wee absence-he racked up a weighty 162 yards the last time these two encountered one another.
Tennessee/San Fran:
This is the over-looked sibling sandwiched between two over-achieving brothers. However knowing how the NFL tends to work, this one will somehow be the most entertaining of the three at the 4 spot.
New England/Pittsburgh:
Here’s hoping this one is able to come somewhere near the parameters of the restraining order that is the hype surrounding this tilt. Does that make sense to you? It did in my thinker-spot. Aside from a 40-17 blowout of the Titans, 5 of the Steelers last 6 wins have come by margins of 5, 3, 3, 3 and 1. That’s bulimia-plagued supermodel skinny win margins, you all. Was it luck? Are they good enough to beat a Pats team coming off an embarrassing (to them) loss to the Fins? Let’s you and me and we see, oui?

I genuinely despise most media coverage of Tom Brady, but I make an exception for always cutting to Brady reaction shots after his opponent scores.
HOw the fuck have they sacked Wilson 7 times? He looked like a goddamn Jedi 2 weeks ago against one of the best lines in the league.
SEAHAWKS!
Interior vs edge rush, I think. Rams’ strength is in the middle, with Aaron Donald. Means edge rushers need to contain more than rush, so the running lanes stay shut and the pocket slowly asphyxiates Wilson.
remarkably long 1-yard run
Sad Tom!
THIS TOM BRADY I CALL HIM THE GUY ATOP THE WHEELBARROW IN THE EARLY BITS OF MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL BECAUSE HE’S NOT DEAD YET
Rub some grit in it Rex!
Looking ahead to next week, apparently there’s no Thursday game, and they’re giving the Keystone state two more wins on Christmas.
Just saw the Seahawks-Rams score and, wow, I knew Pete Carroll is an expert in collapses but shit.
Jet fuel will melt an offensive line.
There really is no lesser evil in this game
Just being a millionaire…that’s like….upper middle class now?
Antonio out, how do you not scheme to stop Le’Veon at all costs?
That’s all kinds of messed up.
Because I failed to copy paste??
Just the amount of media Disnocrap will control.
But they’ll never own HRTN!
Fox only owned “A New Hope?”
They don’t own Avatar, but I think they own all the distribution rights and a piece of Ep. 4, but they weren’t able to get that for the sequels. Remember, in 1977 SW was a gamble on Fox’s part, and so they extracted concessions. However, they thought it would stand alone. Lucasfilm was in a WAY better position to negotiate when it came time to make the sequels.
Notice how no one cares that Marvel Studios is also getting all the F4 and related rights back, which is a shame because DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Someone on Twitter too Xmas Ape this is what I call the ASTROTRAIN (one of the best Decepticon toys ever).
Missed extra point?
THIS IS WHERE THE COMEBACK BEGINS!
Voice over: It didn’t begin.
So, Gurley will be in the NFL HOF now?
or his coach will blow it up!
Huh, what do you know, not drunk enough yet to go full on TMI
There’s still time.
It’s true. Though I don’t really have a burning urge to share. Or any sort of burning urge,really, thank goodness.
So what you’re saying is is when I get home I have to comb this thread for juicy gossip? Dammit, I was just gonna… I don’t know actually.
Finally an R. Kelly td celebration
Thankfully, I wasn’t sipping my drink when I read this.

Wait, that’s not Antonio Brown!
Getting really tired of these shitty Southwest parents that adopt a kid but didn’t buy anything.
Danny Trejo walks up behind Johnny Depp, KO’s him and tosses him into the hole he just dug.
There is much rejoicing.
/CUMS. HARD.
Seattle losing and they start fighting? NO WAY
Seriously. They need to get over that BS and just play the damn game.
Who is Hill (#42) and why is he a fucking idiot?
Gronk scores thrice and I might check my fantasy score
How is this the same team that mauled the Eagles?
will LA go for 70?
Hai Delanie Points I don’t need cause I”m not in the playoffs and on bye in consolation playoffs!
Maybe we should just tell NFL players that they should treat women like they would treat Tom Brady if the ref was watching?
OGFDI
Seattle in about 90 minutes.
Promise?
When the smug cleared, and the Amazon employees looked outside of their own assholes only ruins lay before them.
I prefer Buffalo to Baltimore, just cause I like Buffalo fans better. As cities, I prefer Baltimore. Also, this is despite the fact that Buffalo fans kinda hate me as a Redacteds fan cause of the whole “we were better than them ages ago when we were both good” thing
Assign yourself.
DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!!
/goes to make sammich.
I’m not sure I’ve ever actually heard anybody argue that a pop tart was a sandwich.
I’m very plugged into radical sandwich anarchist twitter and let me say you’ve made NO FRIENDS there.
I’m pretty okay with that.
They’re all sammiches. Gimme.
Jesus Christ. I’m a TTRPG nerd (a published writer, even) and this is too fucking much for me.
You too, eh?
I posted a photo of 25,000 D6 dice being tumbled into a solid structure instead of remaining a giant mess, and the first reply was someone freaking out about their OCD because the sides weren’t all aligned. So, yeah, that’s how I roll.
Just out of curiosity, what did you get published?
I’ve contributed to about half to a dozen Shadowrun books since 2010 as an author or in a related capacity. I am the go-to guy for reference and continuity.
Very cool! Messed around with that waaaaay back in the SR2 days (also known as “the ’90s”).
That was when I had the most fun. I’ve been spending most of my time now digging through the history and trying to put together a comprehensive history/primer. It’s also hard to write cyberpunk now with reality outdoing what used to be a dystopian future every day.
Nigel Findley passing away was a big hit to SR for me. He was turning out some great stuff, and I missed his work on the line.
Haven’t looked at it in years. Like you say, society is already outpacing all but the worst CP predictions.
Oh, totally. The game totally changed after he passed. There were other factors around the same time, but it would’ve been very different if he kept writing after Aztlan.
It’s weathered reality outpacing it with hits and misses. I think the important thing that a lot of people forgot for a time was simply that it isn’t the same world, and had diverged long enough ago that there are really good reasons things we know IRL weren’t in a game set in the future. But it’s evolving, and especially with the three video games it’s still one of the most popular TTRPGs. Nothing can compete with D&D, but SR is still in the top-five.
There’s a lot of talk about that Netflix movie coming out soon, Bright, basically being Shadowrun. I don’t know if it’ll have an effect after it’s released, but it isn’t hurting anything.
I AM A SANDWICH

CHOCO TACO SAMMICH
I totally missed that until you pointed it out. I made a timely joke inadvertently!
If the sandwich is STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND (and this includes burgers, hotdogs, wraps, burritos, etc) then it is a FAILURE in my book regardless of the ingredients. If it falls apart when you pick it up it is not a sandwich, and anyone who disagrees with this is wrong and stupid.
Uh…
THE GLOVE DOES NOT FIT, YOU MUST DEVOLVE INTO A SKETCHY CAREER OF GOLF AND MINOR CRIME
Is RedZone offered on Amazon Prime now, or is this just another layer of brainwashing?
Wait. What.
Oh, that reminds me. I saw something about Verizon showing all NFL games. I need to look into that.
Studying this like it’s the Necronomicon.

Off topic, but still.
Selling our soul for Deadpool in Infinity War Part 2. May be worth it.
There’s still time to probably slip him into part 1.
40% of all TV and movies.
I thought that was just a new Lena Dunham show they picked up.
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!! shoulda tried onside kick
No joke, I would eat the fuck out of those.
I thought you were a P*ts fan……
With the soul of a Lion.
Ew. For so many reasons.

This Gurley fellow, good show!
So the Rams are just going to do a victory formation before the half and end this, right?
Rammit shitting all over Russel Wilson is great.
Whoa, Chris Hanson with a… uhhhh… joke.

It’ll take me a while to get over the all grey Lions color rush unis
It matches their souls.

Looks liek The Ben is getting an early start on what his “devastating” playoff injury will be.
Head trauma due to repeated collisions with a bathroom stall door? (Not even because of anyone’s self-preservation instincts. He’s just clumsy and huge.)
“Wilson in Trouble.”
“What is, ‘A phrase heard at least three times every Sunday,’ Alex.”
If the Titans’ secondary wasn’t such trash, Garropolo would be getting into a lot of trouble with these backpedaling throws.
He’s like a young Cutler!
whenever RZ shows me a kickoff return, I expect sommet wacky to happen. I am disappoint.
/sounds liek they may has to shoot Antonio, hope WCS has ample gin
Got Woods?
I recommended someone start him today, so feel better
oh yeah!! Horse is in the barn, Angelinos!!
Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!
sometimes the implied homoeroticism is a little MOAR obvs
As I understand it, that’s the same technique he used to handle domestic situations as well
Still a better aproach than what Chris Benoit used.
He definitely got results.
CAN I HAZ BRAZZERS LOGO?!?
There’s no kissing in Brazzers videos.
I sure hope Antonio Brown can play. Next week.
Wait a second…so a good O-line makes a difference?!!
I can’t even make a fucking joke about this.
Nobody tell the Bears
