Yeah, I know westies, it's still morning out there. But for just once could those of us in the eastern time zones pretend that the world revolves around us? [runs away while giggling] TO THE GAMES! Fins/Bills: I'll actually tune in here and there for this one just to watch Josh Allen's What

Man, there's so little going on out there sports or football-wise but I did see that the on-going tankification of the Fins continues unabated. NFL.com/Ian Rapaport are yakking that Kenyan Drake is on offer. A middling rb on the last year of his rookie deal-the suitors must be tripping over

I've taken to walking the winding trails outside town this fall. It's hard to do in the spring because the paths are so muddy and during the summer the bugs are insane. I don't know how people do it without mosquito nets, but then those that do wear them look

TO THE GAMES! (yet again) Niners/Rams: Hey, the NFC West is getting verrrry interesting these days, isn't it? I'd like to personally thank Shanny Jr. for making vultureback Jeff Wilson Jr. a healthy scratch last week so that Breida Filter could get a score. It's still an ugly RBBC with Coleman back

Not very pretty, is it? TO THE GAMES! Seahawks/Browns: [mumbles to self] I'm getting very tired of Wordpress not recognizing 'Seahawks' as a word. Qb Wilson continues his trajectory towards MVP status but Cleveland might get both Ward and Williams back in the secondary. I'm not putting a lot of weight on the Browns

I'm glad that the NFL heard my wailings and gnashing of teeth last week and ended up scheduling a morning game. And by 'heard', I mean 'went about their business and did what they were going to do anyway'. They're quite gifted in that regard. So, you see the the banner

What is there to say? This game is not for the gentle of soul, nor the weak of stomach, the loose of bowels, the scurvy of teeth or the Giant of heart. I don't think I've ever cheered for a truly dominant team that I knew was going to run

Let's get right to it, shall we? Fallout: -The Potato Skins-classy as ever-living fuck. Poor old Jay certainly had it coming but GM Bruce Allen just couldn't wait to move on. And move on he did, shortly after 5am this morning. Does Washington specifically hire dickbags or does the work environment bring it

On these cool, crisp afternoons I like to do a bit of driving. I'm not by any means a 'fall colours' kinda guy but I when I do notice the foliage I'm reminded that it's pleasant enough to look at. I spent a part of the day raking leaves and

If the London Game had been an early morning affair, yes, I get it. I'd be totally fine with that. But this is 'our' NFL, giving us the illusion of choice when there is in fact none or the choices are garbage. (borrowed from that old crank George Carlinski) Why

T'aint fair! The NFL giveth with the one hand and taketh away with the other. AS ALWAYS! Hey, as long as I'm shouting... TO THE GAMES! Cards/Bills: Not a lot to like here. I'd just like to add-poor Joe Mixon. Poor, poor Joe Mixon. Bills/Titans: The hits keep coming. What's the over/under here-14.5? Matt

There were some fool-adjacent blowhards last week (me) that yakked from their gum disease-riddled mouths to the top of their phlegm-soaked lungs that last week's game was going to be a stinker. So now I think we might be in line for another better than average tilt. Hey!, maybe I'll
