Your Not-The-Football-But-Plenty-Of-Other-Stuff Open Thread

By "plenty of other stuff" I was referring to "Grandfathered". I haven't caught it yet but I'm going to try it for at least 5 minutes so that I can be informingly condescending about it later on. There's a few baseball games on and a few baseball fans on this

What's on your mind? Me? Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty" has been on my brain for the last two weeks. I sure as hell am not going to tell you that it's the song of all songs-it's just there. Every day. It is god damn relentless. If someone could distract

It might be a game for the aged-'s' and 'd' are so close to each other. SF @ NYG: Staley and TE Davis are out for this one. I can't blame Kaep for perhaps thinking that the stars are aligning against him. The fan site Niners Nation recommends that you start

Ari @ Det: The Cards have the 2nd most picks as of Wk. 5. Peterson, a CB that has only given up 85 yards so far, gets Calvin, who despite his overwhelming talent has only one score so far this year. The Spartans probably have a better O-Line than the

Excuse the mess around these parts. A hellacious, take-no-prisoners Canadian slap fight took place here yesterday. I see certain commenters in a whole new light now and as for me-I don't think I'll ever be quite the same again. I regard these upcoming games as a salve for the many

This Just In-America Better Than Canada In Something (Thanksgiving)

I'm a "somewhat proud" Canadian. I don't think we're the greatest country in the world (as though that could ever really be measured) because we've got our share of problems, not the least of which is we are governed by a robot prime minister sent by the corporate masters of

Indy @ Hou: Arian is coming back to full strength against the right team-versus the Colts he averages a TD per game, 120 rush yards and 6 ypc. Is there anyone who can't run against Indy? I don't think so. Here's betting that Mallethoyer has the sort of game that will have

Det @ Sea: The Rams upset of the Cards yesterday makes it imperative for the 'Hawks to grab this one. (And I thought the NFC East is a mess-which it is) With Lynch out Thomas Rawls (who?) gets the ball. He's 5'9" and 215 lbs. and hails from Central Michigan GO

"There are three types of American Football Fans-the extrovert, the introvert and the pervert. You can find the pervert outside any local school yard, salivating on the fence. Extroverts however can be seen down at nearby 'watering holes' on Sundays. They choose to interact with others of their kind as

[in the voice of Sir David Attenborough, noted documentarian] "Here we see the common North American football fan in its lair. Sprawled amongst the bedsheets, it has had a mostly pleasant evening.
