Unless you're in a lesser league that actually has a championship in week 17 when playoff-bound teams are resting their stars or getting them off the field as quickly as possible, your fantasy dream of winning a non-existent-in-real-life trophy begins for serious today. I'm not under much pressure in one

I don't get hung over very much anymore but when you go thru the stress of an Eggpocalypse, the usual college footballing and a Cuse/Kansas game, sometimes the excessive imbibing catches up to you. No matter, today is a new day and somebody has to get back on that horse and

Some of our brethren are enjoying the sweaty, seedy favours of the fine town of Las Vegas this weekend. Say a prayer for them, will you? Here's hoping none of them are flying back home wearing nothing but a barrel held up by suspenders. I wonder what they'll be doing

We had our first significant snowfall last night/into the morning and let me tell you, I don't miss that stuff at all. Services in my community and along the highway snowplow-wise are dying The Death of a Thousand Cuts. What this seems to mean out this way is that only

The day has come and gone now here comes the night. And the fixture in front of us? It doesn't look very pretty. There's no dressing up this turdganza in any way whatsoever. [shrugs] TO THE GAME! GB/Pit: Oh Randy, is there any Case Keenum in you at all? It would appear

Have you ever googled yourself and discovered that you share the same name with a second-tier Canadian entertainer that has a huge on-line presence? Me neither. Why would anyone bother to do that? That's just silly. I hope that the smarter among you have had the bestest post-Thanksgiving treat that

Where did the time go? [looks inside the folds of the sofa] Nope, it's not there. [eats week-old Cheeto] The Wild Card spots are sorta, kinda, maybe taking a bit of shape. But maybe that dead-in-the-water 4-6 team will win out and sneak in with the help of three different

Is there anything better than drinking, joking and laughing with like-minded folks? Perhaps someone will mention the "c" word-you know 'cintercourse'. But I feel that at the very least it's better than the opposite-being dehydrated, seriousing and thousand-yard staring with people. American Thanksgiving in The Canada is a fantastic time

There's but twelve minutes left in the Vikes/Lions game as I type this and it took some time but things are starting to heat up. (much like the mashed potatoes you just threw into the microwave because you made them way too soon). Although I very much enjoy Thanksgiving I

Hey there, you four day weekend-having mother-suckers! Have I ever told you the story of how I stumbled across the bliss that is Thursday afternoon football? Yes? Well, sit back, relax with your warm glass of mulled cider ("you're so sophisticated!") and I'll tell you again. Back when I was

I think today is a good day to celebrate my non-existent Mexican heritage by eating a brand of chip that has no real connection to Hispanic culture but hints at it in the name. Behold, "Munchos"! Imagine if you will the end result of a jar of Pringles having a
