For the Shoe: A 2021 Indianapolis Colts Preview

Team Previews

blaxabbath - September 1, 2021September 1, 2021

This is your 2021 Indianapolis Colts team preview. I think I may have done them in an earlier year but making your way through the archives around here is as tough as finding your way out of a greater Marion County Hometown Buffet line on a Friday evening. As some

The Washington Redacteds, or whatever they’re called now – a preview of sorts

Doktor Zymm - August 26, 2021August 25, 2021

Last month the league wrapped up its investigation of the Redacteds' workplace culture and ended up fining The Snyder $10 million for fostering a workplace culture that was filled with sexual harassment, bullying, and intimidation going all the way back to ol' Danny Boy's purchase of the team (although the

Chainmail and Chucklef**ks: 2021 San Francisco 49ers Preview

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - August 16, 2021August 16, 2021

Well that didn't take long. Last year's preview was basically one long mea culpa about how wrong I had been to predict that the 2019 49ers would go 6-10, when they actually went to the Super Bowl. The 2020 Niners promptly went...6-10. I wasn't wrong, just early. This year's team does not hold a whole

Listen, we do this every year. Every. Single. Got. Damn. Year. Dogg. And what are the three common threads we see? 1. Team Owner -- and likely a rapist like his good friend, Justice Brett Kavanaugh -- Simple Mike Bidwill continues to be an "involved owner"; 2. General Manager Steve "BAC to

NFL Before-The-Season Preview: The Brown Noise

TheRevanchist - August 12, 2021August 12, 2021

The year was 1995. The Browns were told that there would not be the Browns come 1996, as the team would be moving to Baltimore. The world rejoiced. Cleveland should have thanked Baltimore for taking the team to a new level. Instead they turned that smile upside down. They were

“If Bland Were Whelming!” – An Atlanta Falcons Preview

Beerguyrob - August 12, 2021August 12, 2021

I know what you're thinking - "Wait - what the hell is he doing here?" Hold on, pretty deaf girl. I never said I was leaving, just abandoning my Open Thread responsibilities because of an anticipated bump in real-life workload. In fact, it's already started. Summer school finished last Friday, and people

Yay, We’re All Happy About Brady’s Seventh Ring – The 2021 DFO Tampa Bay Buccaneers Preview

SonOfSpam - August 11, 2021August 11, 2021

600,000 Americans died last year from a disease that kept them from getting enough air in their lungs, so it was only appropriate that the Super Bowl was won by the one guy who gets positively erect over "not enough air." Yes, Tom Dickcheese Brady (ed. note - did we

Donks In The Year of Our Plague LAWD 2021!

King Hippo - July 24, 2021July 23, 2021

Praise Jeebus, proper FITBAW is just around the corner. And though GAMBLOR is open for many Central European futbol leagues...my soul is turning to MOAR violent matters. Injuries and woeful quartered backing have basically killed the last two Donks seasons in the crib. As such, Don Fangio has (rightfully, in my view)

#DisBelieveland: 2020 Cleveland Browns Bye Week Update

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - November 5, 2020

Quick: without looking at their record, are the Cleveland Browns a good team or a bad team? Got an answer? You're wrong. Whichever way you answered, you're wrong. Cleveland is a Limited Heisenberg Uncertainty Team: at any given time, you can know where they are, but you can't know where they are going.
