Look, I'm sure this game won't be nearly as fine a spectacle as the Thursday Night Mega Tilt Of All Fixtures, Giants/Eagles!!! but let's try to make the best of it. Just like I'm trying to make the best of a situation-there is a plumber in my house as I

I don't know about you but I get all turgid and giddy when there's the slightest change to the NFL schedule. Does it feel like practice for your Thanksgiving? I mean, we've got a great tilt (potentially) that dovetails right into the regular Monday Nighter. Plus with the teams that are

The weather turned again. The sky has become a grey slate, punctuated occasionally by an off-color sun that brings no warmth. My hand, sliced open when I was taken by surprise, is almost fully healed. I wear gloves most times when out in public in order to hide the radish

Just the two tilts to dine one's eyes on today-the Red Zone dude won't know what to do with himself. I get it though, a doubleheader tomorrow will make all my whining go away. Perspective. I has it. TO THE GAMES! Jets/Fins: "Gore Runs For 100 yards at the age of 37!" You

Is this the start of the inevitable (maybe) unraveling of The Shield's best-laid plans? Hopefully for us watchers of games that's not the case but I do stand by my prediction that there will be a break in play for a week or two if things get out of hand.

Man, I'm in heaven-the more football nights the better. For those Hot Takers in the media [whispers out of side of mouth] and a few folks on this site, this doesn't signal the inevitable early end of the season. There was always going to be an in-season Monday Night doubleheader and

But yeah, something's got a sick sense of humour. Everything was lining up so well for Dak. He was gonna get some big money no matter how things shook out. Now? Maybe a one year 'prove it' deal. That ain't right, that ain't right at all. I read a word

Look, it was about time they got a break and besides, as a literary genre it is a bit self-limiting, don't cha think? Also, it's Thanksgiving and we are supposed to think about the less fortunate. Or was that Arbour Day? I get things mixed up here and there. Fear

Gotta love it when the 4 o'clock game is a stinker but it involves your team. I have you all (mostly) to myself. And if I could borrow from Hippo's London football vernacular-"IT'S MANDATORY VIEWING!" But if it's a nice fall day (parts of Texas excluded) take advantage of it, there may

Let's get to it. TO THE GAMES! Panthers/Falcons: Does Atlanta finally get their first W? Carolina is coming off two straight wins and the Falcons have given up 30 or more points every single week to date. Still, Julio might be back and that makes a huge difference to a Panthers D that

It's gonna be bad guys. Real bad. -the Bills/Titans game seems to be hanging in the balance. As noted by yours truly before, let's get some Wednesday Night footballing going. Ya know ya wanna. -Every Little Bit Helps-Falcons cb A.J. Terrell has finally graduated from Covid U and should see game action

Feels like the beginning of the season for some reason. Thank The Covid for that. As we move forward and things get less and less predictable, I want Wednesday night games. I want Friday morning games. I want Saturday midnight games. BLOW IT ALL UP, NFL! Maybe listen to someone
