Buenas noches, damas y gérmenes. I’m subbing today for Rev because he had to attend a private zoning matter about a developing sinkhole near where he lives, which he asked to be kept private. Oh yeah, absolutely. So anyway, what happened was: there was a HOA meeting earlier today and someone

Just look at that neck! Anyway, let's get rolling. Fallout: -You may not have noticed but 9 of the 11 tilts played yesterday were one-score games. That's the kind of parity The Shield loves to see. By no means were they captivating but they weren't "turn off the TV" bad either. -Obligatory Injury

Last One Up, Turn Off The Lights

To The Game! Seahawks/Commies: -Seattle's got a one-trick pony that you must account for. Rook wr Tory Horton doesn't get many targets per game but has scored a TD in three of four tilts that he's played. And 55% of his routes are verticals. He opens up the middle for his buddy. -That

Only three games on the docket and there's not much to choose from. To The Games! Jags/Raiders: Someone has to play in this spot and I guess it's the Jags and Raiders. Jax is one game over .500 as their middling offense (15th) and defense (21st) would indicate. Brady's Raiders are already playing

As promised, I'm completely hungover and this intro will be trash. The teams on bye are Browns, Jets, (excellent combo!) Eagles and Bucs. To The Games! Bears/Bengals: Maybe stream rook tight end Loveland in this spot? Cincy's D is a known trashterpiece that gives up more yards to that position than any other

MOAR GAMES, demand teh ppls! South Cakalaky (+12.5) at Johnny Reb (7:00, ESPN) Real talk, y'all.  This slate ain't great.  But maybe Johnny Reb sleepwalks a bit, what with all the Koach Kliff Khaos?? Steerfuckers North (+2.5) at Tennessee (7:30, ABC) This is the actual, watchable game.  Winner clings to the leaky playoff lifeboat,

TGIF!  DIE IN A FIRE SPRINGER YOU CHEATING DISGRACE! Also, is anyone else excited for the start of the NBA Cup tonite? Certainly nothing else of import is on this evening. Word Count Filler Time Let's talk about doctors. Wait, let's talk about patients. First: Puppies! Interested in botox injections and wrinkle-reductions? Too bad

Will there be tons of shots of "oh-so-crazy" fans adorned in costumes in the stands? You bet your "Sexy Ref" outfit there'll be! Flotsam and Jetsam: -WTH Broncos?: Is there a severe shortage of viable tight ends out there in the marketplace? Denver signed 41 year-old Mercedes Lewis. For what? He was

This may be my last Wumbo column before we’re inevitably nuked from orbit, just to be safe. It’s the only way to prevent New York from falling into the hands of Muslim socialists. Even though, if my reading of “2008 Republicans Reacting Reasonably” is correct, the entire country was like

I didn't even watch the World Series game last night and I'm exhausted. Allow me a Grumpy Old White Guy rant: Trunk or Treat when "traditional" suburban trick-or-treating is available. It devalues the entire enterprise by making a huge caloric haul available with minimal effort. I'm not saying kids have to "earn"
