Welcome, welcome. Here begins the final week of yet another season. There were highs and there were lows and also some wonderful in-betweens. Let's go over all of them-kidding! To The Game! Chiefs/Raiders: -Kelce needs but one TD to become the first tight end to reach 10,000 yards and 70 scores within his

Look at me with the hyperbolizing post question. It's just that we're done with the footballing and have to make the transition. [whiny voice] But I'm getting older and therefore hate change. I'll get over it. Observations and Assorted Crap: -I must point out to the commentariat that I much prefer your musings on

Just a reminder that there's a double-header on Saturday and then an avalanche of tilts next Sunday. Fallout: -I keep coming back to this but here we go again. The Vikes, in the first three quarters of all games this year have a point differential of -97. If I had my druthers

We've got a delightful 9/4 split of tilts which is the way it sorta should be in my opinion. Obviously bye weeks make this impossible but I want choices in the later window, damnit! To The Games! Niners/Raiders: This should be an object lesson in what good coaching vs unreliable/inconsistent coaching looks like.

Hey folks, I'm hungover and very tired and cranky. Instead of combing through a bunch of team and stat sites and sifting through a bunch of info I'm just going with crap off the top of my head. To The Games! Cards/Falcons: Two teams that very few people care about are having lousy

We've come to the final Thursday Nighter of the year. The journey started oh so many months ago-was it 6(?) or 8(?) months ago? [counts on fingers] Huh. It was just four months or 16 fathoms or 12 hands ago. Something like that. God, the fun we had, the friends we

This is the last one, I promise. Well, until tomorrow that is. It's been a long day filled with various levels of obligations and though I put this together around 2pm I can tell you that my belly is now filled with turkey, stuffing and all the other fixin's. I

We face the Eternal Question: Will Hippo nap through this tilt or will he keep his eyes open? We get yet another game that looked fantastic on paper back in the day but various wheels came off multiple busses, never to return. To The Game! Broncos/Rams: -Was Cupp Important?: Judging by total yards

Merry Holiday, you delightful miscreants! I just noticed that I labeled last night's thread as a Sunday night. Was I distracted by the notion of having to socialize? Was I rushing to get it done? Was I just going thru the motions? Most certainly. I sincerely hope that all who

I feel bad for the yinzers out there because of Franco's sudden passing and the timing of it. I can't really think of a beloved figure in the Giants community (should have been LT but he's made some horrible choices) that I'll mourn with the same intensity. To The Game! Raiders/Steelers: -Given the

What the hell?! At the very least there's playoff implications aplenty but the NFL needs to do better. Or start to care. What? You're telling me they don't have to? And no amount of cajoling will change that? I see. To The Games! Commies/Niners: -Washington is hanging on to dear life to that

Hello fellow commenters and assorted lurkers (you really should say 'hello') we've got Saturday football up the ying yang along with plenty other sports offerings so let's make the best of it. I've only got one social obligation (a get-together at SIL's place this evening) and the Xmas dinner host
