YEEEHHHHHAAAAAWWWWW, Wild Card Weekend means SIX games now, not that they all lived up to any sort of billing. Very briefly recapping Saturday, the 500s started horribly, then flipped on a dime and ass-blasted Clippers du Merde, 32-12.  A Scorigami and everything!  Houston springing to life could have maybe inspired the Yinzers

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 18, 2024 Season

Well, this here is the last marathon, until next season (absent the heat death of the universe, which I think we'd all welcome). As a departure, let's start with the ending - the only game with real stakes, Minny at Detroit.  I honestly didn't know what to expect.  Vikes have the
