…Same as the first.

Perhaps I’m getting old and predictable.  But with less than a month left in the NFL post-season we gotta get it in while we still can.

I had considered waxing philosophic tonight about that orange guy at 1600 who is about to get us into a major “conflict” to make up for his small hands and small pe….

(ahem)

Crap, does that mean I gotta start dodging the Secret Service now in addition to the NSA and the IRS?  Canada is looking better and better every day.

But I tried to warn all of you in the early fall of ’16.  Narcissism combined with no experience and no sense of diplomacy was always going to be a bad combination.  Just saying.

But it’s Friday.  We don’t want to talk about that tonight.  So let’s have some fun.

It’s Divisional Weekend.  And even though I more or less did the same theme last week for the Wildcard Weekend, we’re doing it again.  And you’ll just have to live with it.

(plus I just happen to enjoy looking at cheerleaders)

((well, usually))

A Somber Last Minute Addition To This Post

I just learned only minutes ago that Neil Peart, the drummer and creative force behind Rush, the gentleman who inspired me to take to the drums in the first place…  Died on Tuesday from brain cancer.  And while I was never a very good drummer if I’m being honest, I still got enjoyment out of it.

I am sad.

Neil, you will be missed.

RIP, Sir.  I hope you didn’t suffer.
