Holy fucking shit, I need a cigarette. Or more my style, a pipe chock full of opium. Did God decide to take the Sabbath off? Or go see the new Star Wars movie, now that the crowds have thinned out? Or maybe He just doesn't control football games

Saturday's theme? Coaching dumbfuckery. Don't worry, there was more than enough to go around. Andy Reid did every Andy Reid thing in the Andy Reid book (well, I dunno if he ate an entire ham, but I am not willing to rule it out, either), especially on the clock

The games were better, the results were not. In Ice Bowl 2: Electric (Bench) Boogaloo, the SeaTruthers did absolutely fuckall for 50+ minutes of game action. Minnesota built a 9-0 lead on three very strong kicks in ridiculous conditions, and the "insurmountable lead" jokes were plenty and deserved. But

Well...that kind of blew all the goats in Pakistan, didn't it? Turns out the Texans really didn't belong in the tournament after all. And my God, is Bill O'Brien ever a stupid, stupid man. The game ended less than 10 seconds into the action, before either team even huddled

So much sadness - the regular season comes to an end. The playoffs remain, sure. But the onsalught for the senses of a full slate of games...that is the essence of the NFL, what keeps us drooling on the couch like Mongoloids. Wait, can one still say

Hey, that weird shit all totally happened. Not a fever dream or acid flashback, that I can gather. First, let us go back to Saturday's Thurday Night game and congratulate the Redacteds on clinching the Special Needs Division title. They did it in fine/fitting form, with Kirk Cousins making

These be all half-hearted again, as Denver shit the second half bed even more mightily this week, losing the 2nd half 21-0 in Yinzburgh. All 3 AFC Wild Card contenders (well, 4 if you count Denver now that they are in the midst of blowing the division to the

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
