Naw, I don't think so-it's already been done by Shakey The Sphere and that was some time ago. Let's compare each of these games (many of which are...hold onto your barnacles...completely irrelevant!) to say, an offering at a buffet-style restaurant or a meal/snack I enjoyed as a child. What's that? Did

Whine/Rant Alert: Okay, there's a bunch of sports-hungry folks that have the day off today. Imagine them (me) sitting down in front of the tube, ready to drink in the puck/football/curling stone/basketball/shuttlecock/sheep's head/Quaffle and Thunderball action with their oh-so thirsty eyes and there's...nothing. Hey NBA, college football, college basketball, NHL, EPL,

The thing that they never talk about when they talk about the homeless from what I can remember, is the boredom. When you're not begging in one spot you're looking for another and time slows to a crawl. If you get lucky and somebody throws a ten bill at you,

Has the playoff picture become clearer after the noon-ish tilts? I'm guessing that the answer is, if not 'no', then 'kinda'. Well, get thee ready for some more jockeying... TO THE GAMES! Rams/Cards: Of course there are some teams doing other things. Arizona, for example is focusing on giving some of their young

Let's dig in right away shall we? I'm running late. TO THE GAMES! Bengalis/Brownies: Cincy is without both wr's Green and Boyd so if you've got notion to go in motion with Mixon, follow it through. Also, Cleveland have dramatically increased their Chubb usage (a bit too late, but whatever) so he's a

I've been in this doctoring game for some time but I'd never seen a patient like this one. She explained that she'd been through three other physicians before me and that I had been highly recommended by someone in her Bible study group. Her name was Tiffany R. and she

Ostensibly this should be an NFL post but this is the holidays and there's so much action going on. As Hippo noted, there be some college ball going on so we might have some hot crossed-streams action going on but that's the chance one takes when a bunch of reprobates

I feel a void. Do you feel it as well? I sat down to throw a game intro together and... nothing. No game. Thing is, I like Thursday Night Football. Like, the idea of it. It's the universe telling me that the week is pretty much done and there is

Week 15 Fallout: These are the teams that were officially sent to a farm upstate. They are the Bills, Jets, Broncos, Bengals, Giants, Packers, Lions, Bucs and Falcons. No need to worry about them though, at this particular farm the refs have a very firm grasp on the 'catch' rule and

Catch a tiger by the toe. Or a Giant. Or maybe a Packer. You know, one of those teams that have chances of making the playoffs in around the 2-5% mark. Watch them holler at the end of the day when they're officially eliminated from the holy grail that is
