It was a fairly good run, wasn't it? "The Curse of Thursday Night Football" that had descended last year had lost its way for most of 2018. Well, it's back and it's taking no prisoners tonight. So shutter your windows, bar the doors and maybe explore other entertainment options. There's

No morning game? Goddammit! Sure it made our collective eyes bleed, watching so much football in one day but it was the good kind of blood-letting. I think game-time has been shifted because the sponsors were whining about not getting enough bang for their ad bucks. Who is to blame

God is dead. So why not watch a bit of the old football? It's not like I'm going to judge you. -Friedrich "The Funky Philologist" Nietzsche These two wet, stinking dogs are gonna give us many reasons to laugh and joke and cry (that'd be me, mostly).

Much like a Krauthammer into an empty pool, let's dive straight in. TO THE GAME! Chiefs/Broncos: Boy oh boy. I wonder how everybody's fave 2nd year phenom qb will do going into the confines of Denver for the first time. This should be a real test for him, right? Well, Johnny Football-Come-Lately's,
