So Peter King is stepping back from his primary(?) gig writing 11,000 words per week as a columnist for NBC Sports. This is indeed the end of an era, and you will see a thousand fauning tributes to the football equivalent of everyone's favorite sells-insurance-but-really-wanted-to-be-a-standup-comic uncle. Not here, obviously. Even our deeply-felt

Is It Underwear Olympics Time?: Tuesday Open Thread
Football in the Time of Brainworms: Tuesday Open Thread
Taylor Swift is not a CIA wokeness android. Nancy Pelosi did not threaten the league at halftime if the 49ers didn't win. The NFL is controlled by Lizard People, but they are the same Old Rich White Lizard People as have openly controlled American wealth since Cornelius Vanderbilt emerged from the caves

Wide right. Wide right wide right wide right; wide right wide right! Wide Right wide right, wide right Wide Right. Wide right wide right- wide RIGHT. Wide. Right. Seriously though- it's a fair cop, guv. A flawed and beat-up team got Got by another flawed and beat-up team with a better coach. It sucks that

The Man With The Mop: Tuesday Open Thread
The NFL wastes no time chivvying its fans on to The Next Thing once the gratuitous bro-hugs-on-the-sidelines shots are finished- sometimes not even that long. I can't be certain, but within ten seconds of the game-clinching Tuaception Sunday night it seemed like NBC was blaring ads about HOT PLAYOFF ACTION.
Stay On Target…: Tuesday Open Thread
Once again, it All Comes Down to This. And that's kinda awesome. By my count, there are eleven (11) games with meaningful playoff implications, including five involving a "win and in" scenario. I can't say I've ever looked forward to a Colts-Texans game, but here we are. Moreover, because the NFL isn't

Simply Having A Wonderful Sh*tsmastime: Tuesday Open Thread
Many of you voiced whole-hearted- dare I say fervent?- support for my Modest Proposal regarding summary roadside executions of rubberneckers. "What is next, wise Reverend? What further Grand Plans for Cultural Improvement can you offer?" I hear you say. Well. I realized today that the American justice system- indeed, all Western juridical traditions,

FATHER, I CRAVE VIOLENCE!…Tuesday Open Thread
As long time readers of my barely-intelligible howlings will know, I generally have no love, patience or pity for "revenue generating sports" at the college level. The most charitable good-faith interpretation I can muster is that a relatively innocent but stupidly naive concept of the virtues of "amateurism" was corrupted
An Ant Has No Quarrel With A Boot: 2023 Buffalo Bills at the Bye (and Open Thread)
MAYHEM'S 2023 PREDICTION: "12-5, tied for AFC East crown. As always, the injury factor will be dispositive, but we have reason for Hope." HOW'S THAT LOOKING?: I mean, I was right. Injuries have decimated the Bills. Pro Bowl cornerback Tre'Davious White? Pro Bowler Matt Milano? Pro Bowler Dawson Knox? All of the Safeties (except
