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

I'm only human. Well, that's the excuse I use when I screw up. Not really though but I use that to explain why I almost always cheer for that team that comes out of nowhere and against expectations, plays well or has some sort of uphill battle. Yeah, I've cheered

Here's your first of 11 playoff games to enjoy as the 2017/18 season begins the old wind-down. It doesn't seem on the surface to be that sexy a tilt but one team will advance and the other will call it a day so I guess it's got that going for it.

I guess the only advantage of not having a Thursday, Sunday Nighter and Monday game is that we get a corn of copia of nine, count 'em, nine games! So what if some aren't relevant? This presupposes that some week 5 clash involving the Giants or Browns was relevant and we all

Are you footballed out yet? If you are this site is no place for you. Gird your pyjama bottoms, eat some processed sugar product, find some caffeine, (have you tried that coffee enema yet? Maybe now's the time) get rid of the family and lock the doors. You've got some

Is everything going to plan? I hope you and yours (if you've got a 'yours'-I didn't for the longest time and it was a mixed blessing) have got your shit together and are in the home stretch as far as getting organmazized. I only just now figured out that there's

It's the day before Christmas and lives hang in the balance-well, fantasy lives anyway. Best of luck to all you bastages that made it this far and will win some sweet, sweet moolah. The rest of us will hustle and bustle about, searching desperately for some place, any place that sells

Oh my, we've got some jugger-naughty thrills and spills coming our way don't we? I'm genuinely excited for what's in front of us.

I'll acknowledge you west-coasters in the lede just this one time and then never again. There's so much football, basketball and hockey coming out the ying yang, it's an embarrassment of riches. And I must say that all commenters acquitted themselves quite well all day/night long yesterday. Now it's time

It's a frosty, uncaring world out there. What's the point of even holding the door open for anyone anymore? And yet we do it because in our heart of hearts we know that we have to be optimistic, we must believe that there is good out there in the world.
