They breed 'em different up Iowa way. This guy has milked a few bulls in his time if that smile means anything but more on him later. Here I go again, trawling the depths of that place we all love and despise, looking for stupid NFL-related stuff. And we're off! Globules: Have You

Hey Buttercups, what say you? This will be quite short as I am in possession of a rumbly belly and things aren't getting better. I hope you're not overindulging on the socials this last wee bit because it's hell out there. (I'm pretty sure-nope, I know for sure) Help yourself to stay

Many football lovers would like to tell you we're in The Doldrums (I love that phrase for some reason) as far as news/observations are concerned. But they didn't account for me, your scrappy poster that has dredged up some crap that we may perchance talk about. Flotsam & Jetsam: -Speaking of Jetsam,

For those that partook, now there's an Olympic hangover to add to the NFL one. (though if you're superdesperate the Combine is on this week) College basketball is heating up. Sillycuse won't get to 20 wins barring a miracle run through the ACC tourney. Bastards. More on that below. I'm

How 'bout them Olympics! As always, hockey delivered, bringing you four OT games over two days. Were I a betting monkey I'd put a couple of bananas on the Finns tomorrow. They're very solid defensively, are fantastic on the counterattack and have great depth. I was hoping they'd play the

Can the NFLPA be more pathetic? They lost their case regarding the report cards of the teams their members belong to. The reason cited by the arbitrator was that they didn't apply rigorous methadology and "cherry-picked" various comments here and there. There were a number of positive comments as well

The Olympics are a gimme of course and I'm mighty grateful for them but news on other fronts? Well of course the first thing that came to the front of my frontal lobe is that there is a new city where the beautiful fight crime. I'm just going to assume

This is the sucky part of the year and it only lasts 6 more months. And in certain climes it's cold to boot. [West Coast commenters push each other into on-coming traffic in order to be the first to brag about their weather] It's ok, we'll make do as we

Well, we finally made it to the fireworks factory! Honestly, this has been the most entertaining season I've experienced since 2011- (had to throw a Giants reference in here in some way) what with the unexpected emergent teams (two of which you're going to watch this evening!) some mind-boggling upsets,

The biggest of big days is upon us but there's still a ways to go. The Winter Olympics is in full force (I can see the outline of a Norwegian biathlete's penis as I type this) and may serve to pass the time until we get to the nitty gritty. So if
