Fuck, was I ever in a salty mood to start this mid-November Sunday.  But thankfully, the NFL came to my rescue, with a truest of shitshows.  Thanks to a rash of blowouts throughout the window, we got to see quite a bit of Yinzers/Lions.  Forever, the game that knocked out

Well, that was weird, yeah? I am quite happy not to deal with SurvivoUr pool the rest of the season.  The last few weeks have broken my brain.  But I get a mini-last laugh - when I switched my money pool entry to Brokeback's Bills?  I also ML bet the Jaguras

October, we hardly knew ye.  Be forewarned, I chose not to watch not-Dak! (water added) chucklefuck around the Bird Murder Dome on Sunday night, and also skipped the end of the Saints game.  RIP, Crab Leg (down to one), though. I am starting with my Donks, because ah CAN.  No Von Miller,

Welcome to The One Where Everybody Was On Bye. A challenging week for teevee coverage, given 6 squadrons on bye, and several...charitably-called less than marquee matchups.  But there were two that FITBAW enthusiasts had their eye on - and naturally, both games aired in the same goddamned broadcast window, and on the same

Ugh, what a car crash of a Sunday.  Hey, my Wolven Sort managed a dominant win away to BC, I knew FITBAW gods would make me pay for that bit of pleasure. There was really only one good early game, and it was...LOLfins/Jaguras in London??  The theme of the week was

If you are a fan of placement kicking (and really, who ain't??) then Week 5 was one of those "best of times/worst of times" combo platters. You have to lead off with Bungles/Packers.  It was a reasonably good, even matchup before things went Bananacakes Plaid - but after Burrow and pals

Ooof, some of us met the cold, hard face slap of reality this week.  Fortunately for Teddy Ballgame, he probably doesn't remember any of it! Yes, despite trailing 17-7 at the half, there could be no Mile High Magic, with Teddy Ballgame out with a head owie.  And how annoying was

September ended with several FITBAW happenings.  Here is a brief description of some of those things. Everybody likes to see a record set, unless you live in Detroit.  Yes indeed, a confluence of events - including a converted 4th and 19 (wide-ass open) and a blatant, and blatantly ignored, delay of

I have mentioned before, about the dangers of not reading too much into Week 1.  But even so, some stunning reversals of fortune this week. Also, some ridiculously bozo-level coaching and Shield-emphasis-based ridiculous BLEERGH worship.  But, that's not really anything new. Twas a 9/4 split, but almost felt reversed, given the lack

Oh my goodness, wan't that just divine?  Lots of good games, lots of interesting strategy - and of course, surprises.  Always with the surprises, that National Football League. I will hit you with my own surprise up front - I found the "all broadcasts" 12 September intro to be tasteful and

This is going to be very succint.  Eh, it is what it is. Let me first congratulate my translator, and the rest of the Bills Mafia on their AFC championship.  [WOOOOOOO...wait, wait, wait] Nobody can say y'all didn't earn it, even though your bye week is coming awfully late. You see, #ThePauls [Browns]
