This was a week for FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!! apparently, as we had fisticuffs of various intensity break out in three matches.  Guess the time change has everyone a bit grumpy, even if fall is the one we like. We lead off with our intrepid RRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!! pals, who came out of the

Welcome to The One Where Everyone Went On Bye.  Except Vikes and #ThePauls, who went to London, with predictable results (Vikes broke away late to win, in a very forgettable contest). That meant a 7:2 RedZone split, which usually is some bullshit.  But in this Week 8, it meant seeing almost

There was a lot of bad football played yesterday (even if you don't count fookin' Everton).  Wanna talk about it?  Here it goes. There is deep voodoo, whereby Jacksonville is awesome on odd weeks, and dogshit on even weeks.  There is no other commonality to explain it, and all seven data

Twas a wacky week, with lots of points, reversals of fortune, untimely deaths, and blown giant leads. Of course, the biggest news was the broken collarbone of Aaron Rodgers, ruining the Vikes/Packers matchup (as Brett Hundley made Case Keenum look like Fran Tarkenton).  As noted during the liveblog, I am on

Even for a sport that prides itself on unpredictability...that shit was weird, man.  I am reminded vividly that I truly know abso-fucking-lutely nothing. The New York Football Jets are in first place.  No, this is not a drill.  3-2 after a silly, turnover, derp-filled road win v. #ThePauls.  Give them credit for

Well, that certainly was entropic, yes?  Let's recap. Cam Newton was ded.  Until he wasn't.  As seemingly, the P*ts D is the magic elixir that heals all.  While it looked like Dreamboat would inevitably complete the 14-point comeback in an overtime period, he never saw the ball again.  Rivera's decision to

Before we get to the bananas early slate, we dedicate our Monday morning industrial strength coffee to DonT, whose Los Titanicos absolutely shredded the SeaTruthers in Nashville yesterday.  Yes, the Charmslinger went into Hercules mode in Q4, making the score respectable...but this was a smashmouth, physical domination.  One franchise on

What Week One surprises will turn into bonafide trends?  What will fall into the vapor as if they were mere pre-season fixtures, or mad ether hallucinations?  Hack, cough, Jaguras competence.  READ ON! Yeah, the fucking asswipe P*ts came out firing, and buried the hapless Aints alive.  Gronk may be ded again,

The terribleness is at least mildly abated, as we have professional football once again.  And the people said "amen."  Except for Bengals and Humps fans.  Sweet Baby Jeebus, that was brutal. Or really, let's start with the Savage Garden.  Unsurprisingly, Clemson's Deshaun Watson was deemed not quite ready to start right

Unfortunately for the portly folk of greater Wisconsin, the Superb Owl was not in fact played last weekend. THIS weekend, Green Bay put on a veritable clinic in how to not FOOTBAW, especially on defense. They might as well not brought one of those. It's high time to give

I saw no need FOAR a special Sunday morning edition, and hoped that Day Two would bring a marked improvement. Shit in one hand, hope in the other, and see which gets full first. Yinzburgh beat the absolute tar shit out of Miami, to nobody's surprise. Antonio Brown and Le'Veon Bell
