Day 65 of The Offseason. Position: 38°37'38.17"N, 90°11'52.4"W. Winds variable from SSE. It has been 65 days since last we sighted Football. The days grow longer and the crew more fractious as we drift further and further into the Great Doldrums. Our closest contact with civilization was four days ago, when we chanced across

Sorry kids, no Hot NFL Rules Updates for you this week. You're just going to have to watch White Lotus, or AI goat porn, or whatever else blows your hair back. Congratulations to the "University" of Florida on becoming the first anti-educational institution to win a college basketball championship. Congratulations also to

It is emphatically NOT time for the 2025 NFL Draft. It is more than 3 WEEKS until the fucking 2025 NFL fucking Draft. TOO LONG. Listen: the GMs aren't going to get any smarter between now and the end of April. No Pro Day is going to demonstrate some new and

It's almost Opening Day, sports fans! OK, so technically there are already two games in the books, because why not spot the Dodgers a two-game lead? I try not to be a Cliche Middle Aged White Guy when it comes to baseball, because 1. Nobody likes C.M.A.W.G., and 2. Traditional Baseball had

Ok. There's officially Too Fucking Much Going On Right Now. Politically, the "Flood the Zone With Criminal Actions" plan has been wildly successful from my point of view. Even my deep reserves of molten fury are being taxed. Also, Dr. Mrs. Mayhem is out of town for the second work week in

The annual NFL Combine has come and gone, without any major controversies. No freakouts threatening medical personnel. No leaked stories about how poorly Jaxxsxxyon Dart did on MindBrain's latest miracle neuropsychocraniometrical testing regime. No full frontal nudity. Jerry Jones did ask one guy if his mother was still a whore, but he was just

For the third straight week, Tuesday finds your Supreme Spiritual Leader buried in a tomb of ice and frigid winter. For me personally, this is fine. Spending the first half of my life in Northern Climes and being swathed in a generous layer of blubber (seal-style) has me reasonably well set

Hey there. I didn't know you were awake. Yeah, last season was great. We laughed. We cried. That thing you did with the new kickoff rule? Yeah, that was...no one has ever done that to me before. Where am I going? Oh, nowhere. I was just very quietly putting on my pants

Y'all fucked now. It's gonna be Buffalo and Philadelphia fans in New Orleans, a town second only to Las Vegas in promoting itself as The Home of Excess.

Whelp, here we are again. As we bid farewell to this deeply insane Year of Our Lord 2024, I think I speak for all of us when I say: "Fuck'em if they can't take a joke." I say this not as a rude dismissal of the credulous, the overly-earnest or (in
