So, what did everyone think?  Seems like the day really peaked early (apparently Q-aaron had a bitchy little fit in the locker room, even), then quickly ran out of steam.  Or maybe my hellscape nightmares are just beating me down.  Who fucking knows? That said, nobody remains winless (seems early for

Let’s assume, just for a moment, that you are impatient or neurotic (quite a stretch, oh yeah). Imagine you are hungry and you extend an invitation to a friend or loved one for grabbing a bite wherever. And the very worst thing possible happens: “I dunno. Where do you want to

I freely admit to struggles with motivation this week.  NC State put its heart and soul into Saturday night, and came up short (like always, at least since 1983).  And of course, the NFL-assisted-attempted murder of Tua on Thursday.  PS - You want to see The Shield squirm?  NFLPA should

Hello hello again everyone. We slowly but surely approach the return to my football viewing slovenly ways. I've got this. Just one more week of Season 8 and I hit my offseason. I confess to extreme burnout and laziness regarding todays post. The temperature just hasn't been friendly and it's only a

Hey everyone! Damn good to see you all again! Sunday Gravy coming into the home stretch! We're midway through preseason week 2. As excited as I thought I was last week I was barely able to stomach a couple of series of plays watching my team. You can only get so excited

Hello hello everyone! Look at us. We're right in the middle of the NFL preseason and have been given the full slate-o-shit games for our viewing entertainment. In fact, later today my own team - well the players trying to make special teams and the practice squad - will be in Las
