See? I can talk all kinds of fancy when the mood urges me! Do you like urges? I like them. They crawl into your mindhole and sit there festering, oozing that delicious milky-white substance that tastes a lot like room temperature ice cream. (h/t, Mr. Flacco) And then, and then..

Well, what have we got here? Looks like a double-header-each of which could be interesting in different ways. The Jags and Vikes will be upper echelon teams in their respective conferences and should take their divisions as well. As for the Raiders and Rams? Umm, hmm... This premise of mine

So my oldest sonny boy has shown an interest in cooking so I got him a few "Hello Fresh" thingies. He said he was going give one a go today and I knew that, because he didn't invite me to join in the process, he wanted to tackle this solo.

The best thing about hot and swampy mid-August as far as my brain box is concerned? We're that much closer to the most wonderful month of the year-the one that comes afterward. Can't recall its name but I do know the weather cools down a bit, (suck it, warm Earthers!)

It's shitty preseason ball and a couple of shitty teams are involved in this double-header. Call it "un-beautiful symmetry", maybe? Whatever, my eyebulbs are gonna catch some action. One thing I've got an issue with is the fact that this is the first weekend that all teams are playing and

So.. somebody may have dropped the ball. It was me. TO THE GAME! Ravens/Bears: If you can find two more uninteresting teams in all of the sports I'd like you to tell me about them down below. Still, it's THE FOOTBALL, baby! Massively muscled people you've never heard of might just

Don't get me wrong-I think this will be a low-scoring, hard-fought tilt with plenty of hits and I'm all for it. What else do I be thinking? To know that we must go... TO THE GAME! Minnesota/Philadelphia: At long last more than a few denizens of The City of Brotherly Love will

Are you ready? Last Sunday was oh-so-glorious and I'm not sure how it can be topped but the bowels of my being are telling me it will be. Perhaps that's last night's chili talking, I've no idea. What the heckfire am I waiting for? TO THE GAME! Jacksonville/New England: Some football fans

[can't think of anything to say] Intros are for suckers... TO THE GAME! Jacksonville/Pittsburgh: Taking a look at this game I was reminded of an old Bart Simpson quote which goes something like, "Smashee, smashee". Yeah, this one is gonna be a battle of physical and mental wills and no matter the

A hale and hearty "Hullo!" to all my fellow pigskin huffers. Boy, did you ever hunker down to the funkiest spot on the net for the football watching. Say, here's a trivia query: "When was the last time the overall #1 seed was a home dog?" No googling! If memory

Much has been made of the chicken wing donation and the $300,000+ that has been donated to Andy Dalton's "Spare The Red Child Foundation" and rightfully so. It's makes all the rubes out there feel good in all their feeling places and might just do some concrete good in the
