It's here. A full slate of games (except for the ones not being played due to Mother Nature's shenanigans) to wallow in. Do you have your Doritos, chicken wings, crackers, nachos, bacon-wrapped scallops, pickles, vegetable tray(!?), mozza sticks, pretzels, popcorn, chips, jerky, onion rings, chocolate chip cookies and ice cream

I guess you're wondering why I called this meeting. I'll tell you why but first I think we need to give a round of applause to all the dickbags that provided summer (ie., 'unfootball') time content on this here football-centric blog. Y'all did yeoman's work to keep us engaged and

Well, it's just about that time again folks. Time to resign yourself to the fact that you frittered away yet another weekend doing not much of anything.

Blake was down for the count. We saw it. He was never gonna get back up. Not against The Smirkinator. But lo and behold, he put up some adequate numbers against a second-team D on Thursday night and that was all the Jags braintrust needed to see to make their

So many things to talk about! Many of which are of absolutely no interest to non-fans of the team. I'll try to walk the line between 'pure detritus' and 'so incredibly salient my nipples are erect'.
