There's nothing going on but the ever-thirsty content monster's appetite must be slaked. Newsy Notes: -Big Ben has confirmed that he's retiring (as much as he's able to, using the English language) by saying that 'all signs point' to the Monday Nighter being his last home game. Gumbygirl looks forward to the

I'm barely aware it's Monday because multiple days off tend to confuse the hell out of me. So there's that. Fallout: -TEAM's Jonathan Allen took a swing at a buddy yesterday and called it a "brotherly disagreement"-no word on whether Hulk Hogan has been flown in to mediate. -The "Clinchers of Division Crowns"

Did you not get enough hot, hot NFC East action earlier today? Well have I got a treaty-treat for your eyeballs! (ok, I have to give the NFL sked-makers a bit of credit here) To The Game! TEAM/Cowboys: -Dallas has 4(!) takeaways in each of their last three games which is completely sustainable.

To The Games! Bears/Seahawks: Is there anything riveting about this game? Both teams are wallowing in mediocrity and the most salient question regarding each is, 'who survives the fallout at season's end?". I guess I should point out that with Fields out for Chicago, one Large Appendage Nick Foles gets the start.

Did you pour some whiskey or Baileys ('Elf Cum', as Dave Attell called it many years ago) into your coffee to take the edge off this morning? Atta boy/girl! Let's get to work. To The Games! Lions/Falcons: According to PFF, Cordarelle Patterson has taken a snap at safety this year-you can't get that

Have we reached the denouement phase of the evening or are you still going strong? I'd love to say that like a few of you, I'd be able to sneak away from obligations and watch me a little football but I don't think that'll be the case until at least the

I hope the day is going well for all of you! However you choose to spend the day, I wish you contentment. I'd like to spend a quiet one myself but the wife's extended family is rather large and there's no getting out of the get-together this evening. And really,

We made it to the end! Where's the final boss? I feel let down. We saw more clunkers than eye-catchers, that's for sure. But we watched-except for those times when we didn't. Look, we're all of us  individuals with many diverse interests. We have things to do. Newsy Notes: -Of course there's

And there's two more after this one! HAIL SANTA! Fallout: -Congrats to Double K-he's the coach of only the third team with the most wins in the league (tied) that has lost to a team that had the worst record since the merger in 1970. -Injuries-Godwin is gone with a shredded ACLU, Steelers

As I type the Lions are up 17-0 and that's a bit weird. The Reynolds fella that I slagged in the game intro has 14 carries under his belt and is running at a 4.2 yards clip. Why do I mention this? Because I've got 250 words to get to

To The Games! Bengals/Broncos: This is a killer for the team that gets the L. Both sqaudoos sit at 7-6 but are sitting just outside of a wild card slot. With the Browns being decimated by Covid (and Mullens at qb) and potentially losing to Las Vegas on tomorrow, (5pm statr time,

There's no need for me to repeat details of all the weirdness going on in the NFL right now. I should point out that five NHL teams (Boston, Nashville, Calgary, Colorado and Florida) are getting extended Christmas vacations because who wants to see a bunch of AHL players playing in
