So it's come to this. The truest of the tests of your football fanhood. This one is such a stinker I feel as though it should be played in London. The thing is, it doesn't even have that "I can drink in the morning and still pretend to feel good

Here we are, as usual, sitting on the cusp of the next week(end) of glorious football. How've you been? Good? Good. I'm glad we got those inane pleasantries out the way quickly. Are you in the mood to briefly scan some silly tidbits that may/may not be relevant to the

Man, is it ever dreary/rainy in this neck of the woods. What that means for me is that the piling of more firewood will have to wait for some other time. Ah, well-I'll make the best of it somehow. [light bulb appears over noggin] I know what to do! Let's

Yeah, I might as well acknowledge you folks out west for once. But only just this once! These football-specific threads are always good for several hundred comments but I must tell you, the Saturday JV football/Footy thread is coming along quite nicely.

Hey, mirth-makers! So good to see you again. I'm hoping that the vast majority of you are enjoying this short work week like I am. That Monday off is always great. And then starting the week on the Tuesday, half-assing it on Wednesday (I work from home that day-it took

Are we feeling a wee bit boozy/dizzy/pilly/queasy/silly yet? If you're not you've got some work to do, my friend. There's still a ton of the football left that you can use as an excuse to do what you will. Take advantage. Lock that kid in his room. Take off those

The 2-2 New England squadron suffered its second home loss of the season last week when Cam decided that a.) his shoulder wasn't that bad after all and b.) perhaps he should pad his stat sheet a bit. Tampa squirted out a last-second victory over the hapless Giants on their

Good golly Miss Molly, the hits, they keep on coming! The western divisions of each conference get a tussle though one might be a wee bit more relevant that t'udder. TO THE GAMES! SF/ARI: Carlos Hyde has a banged up hip but is expected to play. Still, look for rook rb

Hopefully that Londonderry game was entertaining. There be eight features on tap now and more than a couple seem to have some potential. Let's have a look. TO THE GAMES! Cin/Cle: Two O-and-3's have at it. All the Bengals need to do to put this one away is to get inside
