Your Thursday “Asleep-At-the-Switch” Carpenter Thread

Ahoy-yoy!   I realized I never did a Stillers bye week report, but who cares. They're 7-6, will never beat the Patriots in any meaningful way, the offensive is broken to hell, and are somehow in currenth #6th seed. Tomlin Voodoo is real, ya'll. Just accept this. This season has been so

Your “This Ain’t Over Yet” Pre-Wild Card Thursday Open Thread

First Weekend Back? Derby Days

First off, I wish Everton had already played so I could use Dominic Calvert-Lewin's Black Lives Matter #9 shirt.  But this will have to do.  Full credit to the Premiership for taking on racial justice issues, with remarkable unity and moral clarity.  I am proud to support this League. OF COURSE in
