Let's go directly, TO THE GAMES! Jags/Bills: Had I told you at the birth of the season that the Bills would be matching the Jags win for win after 10 games in you'd most likely say, "I know you're fucking with me but I don't know exactly how." Each team has but

Have we eaten all of our digestive cookies that were dipped in Pepto? Good. It's time for round two or three of drinking. But make room for that turkey sandwich on sourdough bread with non-E. coli lettuce and fresh-cracked black pepper and Hellman's Mayo or somesuch. If you abominate that

Hey there, folks that like hanging out while watching the football! Hope that your Thanksgiving is going well and that you were exposed to family members for just the right amount of time. (strangling Aunt Lucy for her political views results in very hushed conversation at the dinner table later

ESPN has been shoving this game down our throats and I don't blame them one bit. Back in my bartending days, the Monday Nighter was must-see football. I had the dining room shift at the time and myself and the wait staff would shoo prospective diners up to the second

To borrow from that Lightfoot song that everyone knows, in northern Ontario the winds of November come early. I use that to my advantage. Earlier in the spring I noticed a guy talking to himself by the corner store. I was waiting while my wife was playing her 'special numbers'.

Enough dilly-dallying! TO THE GAMES! Raiders/Cards: The Gruden-led (rhymes with rudderless) Oakland squad is not doing very well. Hell, when your te has a whopping 30% of your qb's 10 passing TD's, something's gotta change. That change took the form of trading their lone offensive threat. Wha? Now because of injuries the

Hey gang. I don't see anything in this slate of games that makes the hair on my saggy balls stand on end. But all of us have been down this road before. It's not the 'meh-level' that matters-it's the *experience* that matters. ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! And anything usually does. So let's

There were some shenanigans out my way that had the locals gums a-flappin', I'll tell you what. I've got a 40 minute drive to work and on my way there 6 police cruisers, sirens a-blarin', tore past me on the highway. This is quite unusual in my very quiet, out

Week 10 Fallout: -Cooper Kupp had the biggest fall. The end result was a tear of his AFL-CIO. Can't help thinking someone will fill the void. -The Saints kicked the tires on Brandon Marshall and figured that he's a fine-looking rental. -You don't have Bengals DC Teryl Austin to kick around anymore. Who?

Only three games on the late sked but we'll make the best of it, won't we? My couch groove is making it really difficult for me to ignore these games that are completely ignorable. Plus I've got dry-roasted peanuts! (I mix them together with regular salt and vinegar peanuts. That

If you feel like chatting about the Chelsea/Everton tilt whilst we wait for the good stuff, go on ahead. There's also a Rugby World Cup qualifying match taking place between Canada and Kenya that's being played in Marseille, France. I don't have a clue whether it's live, a replay from
