Remember how glorious Week 13 was? Well, this was pretty much the exact opposite. BOO THIS WEEK. I will get the elephant in the room out of the way immediately. My Donks seemingly had things on cruise control, with the defense looking more dominant than ever, a 9-0

Oh wow, that was glorious. Week 13 reminded us why we love this shit, warts and all. Exciting games, comebacks, REALLY unexpected stuff, back and forth contests, and sweet sweet P*ts Schadenfreude. If you missed it for non-juju related reasons (hat tip to Moonbatting Average) you should feel really bad. And

Wow, there were some shitty games to close out Thanksgiving Weekend. Fortunately, my mother never taught me "if you can't come up with something nice to say, don't say anything at all." Apparently, the Saints and Rams were totes jelly of all the attention the Iggles got for their performance

Oh glory of glories, to bear witness to a full Thursday of turkey day footy. SO MUCH NFC EAST to digest. No wonder we can't poop, and they go around blaming that poor, sweet, innocent 6-foot opioid... The Iggles MUST be trying to get Chip Kelly fired, right?

Congratulations to putative MVP Cam Newton, who shat all over the Washington Redacteds. That makes it 10 in a row for the 9-1 Panthers! Not to be out-NFC Easted, the Sanchize led the Iggles to an early 7-0 lead over the Bucs, only to be narrowly edged 45-10 down the

Oh, we have seen some herp. And we have seen some derp. But Week Ten was chock full of some truly special stuff. Start with the bestest. Elvis Dumervil. I can't even. The Jaguras, without even enough time to run a spike play, barely get the

These are slightly downtrodden thoughts, as my Donks fell to 7-1. Turns out that spotting your opponent a 17-0 lead before you wake up and start playing is a bad idea. Who knew? Alas, as I noted earlier, it's a simple formula for why we can't have

Week Eight, aka The Day of the Dead for reals. Le'Veon Bell, Matt Forte, Megatron, Fitzmagic, Ricardo Lockett (scary as fuck, but he's ok), the entire San Diego front lines. But let us all pause in a separate line/paragraph to honor that shoulder chip bearer/prolific baby puncher/all around interesting footballer

It's very relaxing to have your team on bye. There is no worry about "do I need to brave the indignities of the outside world to get a satellite feed or white knuckle it with GameCast and RedZone?" I don't have to make sure all my Donks gameday

I drank way the fuck too much watching my beloved Donks give me repeated heart attackery at the local sports pub yesterday. Turns out the manager/proprietor is also a fan, and said I was the first fellow traveler in his establishment for a game all season! I also

I thank the good members of the Commentist Party for pointing out what my 2015 Donks are really like - the 2000 Balmer Ratbirds, who won a Super Bowl with a ferocious defense and a Trent Dilfer. Now, we just have to get teh PeyPey's performance up to baseline
