Here we go again. To The Game! Packers/Eagles: -Love has been removed from the injury report. (an elbow ouchie, "It still hurts when I throw") Speaking of Hurts, (status: concussed) word has it that a 'specialist' was flown in from the Dolphins medical staff and voila, he's ready and raring to go! -So the bad

You've been talking about this match all week so here you go! I see we've Arsehole/Man U as well-not a bad footy-related day! Would anyone care to wallow with me in the tepid bathwater of my Tub of Wrongness regarding the Chargers game? Herbert was the first qb since 1950 to

Wasn't that last tilt a keeper? (writing this at noon EST) They don't get much better than that! And the ending-I did not see that coming. Onward. To The Game! Steelers/Ravens: Flowers For None: Zay has been ruled out of the game. Ordinarily I'd think that a receiving corps whose best wr is Rashod

Welcome back one and all. We've got six playoff games and all have some sort of appeal. Let's get to it. Chargers/Texans: -Houston's only quality win was vs Buffalo and that was quite some time ago. There's just something missing from the team this year and I can't put my finger on

As an arctic blast envelops the portions of Murrika not currently on FUCKING FIRE, we sit patiently and await Wild Card action. I can sit patiently, because though the week started fairly shittily, it ended well. I got the LAST Friday slot for a new HVAC repair outfit, and finally

TGIF! Half the country is burning, the other freezing, and I'm stuck here with only clouds and rain. *pokes Mt. Rainer* Do something! Survival - Personal Edition Let's talk about champagne. Specifically, opening a bottle of said champagne. First lesson, don't do this: That's wasting champagne and removing the carbonation from what's left.

Someone once said, "If you don't have anything good to say about anyone, come here and have a seat beside me." My guess is Dorothy Parker because she had all the good quips but I think it was a society dame in reality. Like, we all tend to lean towards lower-seeded

Okay, what in the crap is this? This is Nocturnes Magazine, a look into the Brooklyn Nocturnes. Okay… that doesn't help me. Who are the Brooklyn Nocturnes and what do they do? Remember the diceball I mentioned? Well, I'm going to use a monthly Wumbo column to write in more detail because it got

That's about all we've got for football this evening folks. We watched all 272 regular season games (maybe not all of them) and now it's time for the important ones. I'll throw a few things at you and then you can do your thing. -The Bears have asked to speak to Mike

It really doesn't get much better than this. That it comes from the NFC North is a question that football historians will debate even two weeks from now. I remember way back in the day when the one win Giants and Niners met on a Sunday(?) night in 1990. This

Things get very tense in this here slate. The games? Sure. But we'll get to Geno Smith eventually. To The Games! Chiefs/Broncos: Redshirt of all folks knows what the score is here.
