This week's title comes from the classic Blazing Saddles answer to the question paraphrased as "So what should we do now?" Yes, we are staring at a long, cold offseason of no NFL action until (checks league calendar) March 1? Yes, the league's annual Underwear Parade begins in TWO WEEKS! And this

First off, I would like to thank our esteemed JJ Fozz for articulating his Blurred Vision for America. Truly, it takes a brave and insightful individual to propose affirmative solutions instead of simply nitpicking or criticizing someone else's plans. That said: Fozz, you ignorant slut.

I have been called many things: Dreamer. Madman. Mrs. Ethel Burstein. But this is not some delusion of grandeur, like that time I thought I could renew my drivers license in less than two hours. No, this dream can come true. WILL come true. DFO is going to buy the Denver Broncos. It sort

Whelp, here we are: the long, slow march between New Years and Valentine's Day. Nothing good happens here, save (hopefully) some good NFL Playoff Football. If time is a map, this is the big blank spot in the middle. Only instead of that meaning "unexplored", it's a literal representation of

Thanksgiving is my favorite mainstream holiday. As soon as people can agree on a date for National Oral Sex Day (which obviously SHOULD be on June 9) that'll be up there. But of the pillars that support Big Holiday in America (New Years, Valentine's Day, Easter, 4th of July, Talk
