The first two weeks of an NFL season always seem kind of random to me (even if 2022 has taken that to a way higher level), but Week 3 has always been nut-cutting time.  The 0-2 can get off the mat, the "Week 1 winners that go 1-2" (ahem, cough...Commies)

One might have imagined a reversion to normalcy, after a chaotic-as-fuck Week One.  One would be wrong.  Better type this shit up before my brain melts. As y'all know, the transitive property doesn't work with football.  Otherwise, as Dok noted, Detroit was on pace to become the NFL's best squadron.  They

Holy mother of fuck, do I ever love football.  Even if this most glorious 9/11 opening slate broke my brain.  Which it most certainly did.  You say YOUR brain is still functional, and useable for billable work?  FUCKING LIAR. January was quite the roller coaster for Cincinnati.  But even coming in

Yes, at long lost, the AFC and NFC have set their champions.  4 seed against 4 seed.  Deliver us from emptiness, oh Great Sportsball Entropy. The oft-repeated, and seemingly quite logical refrain - surely Championship Sunday would be a reversion to the mean, after all the balls-to-the-wall excellence of the Divisional

You know what is great in life?  Naps.  OK, and cats.  Cats also LOVE it when you abide by their schedule and nap during the day.  I napped for the entire duration of MRSA 31, Iggles 15.  I regret nothing. That means I woke up in time for what promised to

Good morning, fellow dick joke enthusiasts.  You may have noticed that Super-Duper-Mega Wild Card Bitches! weekend began yesterday.  Two FITBAW games on the docket - well, one game and one brutal skullfucking. That's Rikki's Raiders! met up with Team WKRP in what was, despite the shambolic officiating, an excellent game.  A

Yes, Mr. Potamus gets bumped this week.  Because 2021 season playoff history will be HER-story too! Damn, was that ever some valiant shit, or what?  The Tomsulas were deader than ded.  Like, bottom of the ocean with cement shoes dead.  17-nil down, on the road (to a team with plenty to play

There were too many fixtures crammed into this singular day.  I liked the spreading out.  So many #WhitePplProblems up in this muthafucka. Look, I am not a doctor - or a Doktor - but as a Son of the South, ah noes my Antonio Brown diagnosis - nuttier than a shithouse rat.  We

I hope everyone enjoyed their time with family this weekend.  And by family, of course I mean FITBAW! If we learned nothing else in 2021 (and we mostly didn't), it's this - don't go pissing Joe Burrow off.  Balmer was down to its third string QB, but Josh Johnson played fairly well.
