Football

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Ohmygod. Seriously. What the fuck was that with the face mask bullshit. Go fuck yourselves Refs. And here's Zero's $3.


On my Fantasy team I continue to have attrition. I lost Jimmy Graham and Ahmad Bradshaw this week. Not that they were doing hot shit or anything. But I've now lost Foster, Edelman, Marshawn Lynch, Dion Lewis, and those two to injuries.

I'm guaranteed a spot in the playoffs because my record in 9-3 right now and no one else is close enough to topple me, but I'll be playing with the most mediocre team ever. I'll be lucky to swing 70 points a game going forward. I'm half expecting Brady to break his arm in the next week or so. That's how my season has been going.

Heading into the playoffs, So of course my last decent RB Thomas Rawls is out with an ankle injury 10 minutes into the game.
And I lost my TE Jimmy Graham a couple weeks ago, the leftover choices were not great. I picked Vance McDonald and now HE'S out with a concussion. At this point the TEs I have to choose from are guys that are technically on the field in that position, but beyond that...

And the guy I'm playing traded his way into a superteam with Cam Newton, Devonta Freeman, Adrian Peterson, Antonio Brown, Alshon Jeffery and Eric Decker. Ugh.

Now that the Lions are officially out of the playoff chase, do they intentionally pooch the final games to get a better place in next year's draft?

They need a new O-line.

If Odell Beckham gets less than 25 points tonight, I am the #1 seed going into the playoffs. If he gets more than 25, I am the #3 seed.

As far as the Bills go, we're back to "We'll do better next year". Someone figure out that there is still a 7% chance they could make the playoffs, but than number seems too high.

If the Raiders, Steelers, Jets, Chiefs, and Colts all lose the rest of their games, and the Bills win the rest of theirs, then they're in!!

I wound up in 4th out of 14 teams. My team imploded down the homestretch. I got barely 50 Pts the final week.

Black Monday is one of my favorite holidays. So long, Johnny Football!

Both Ryans in Buffalo??

Did you guys make someone angry?


And I see Jim Shwartz landed in Philly as their new D Coordinator.

Manning vs Brady yet again. I foresee New England winning this one in convincing fashion, even on the road. The crowd won't be making much noise by halftime. The NFC is a tossup - I'd prefer the Cardinals to win, and then somehow go on to win the superbowl & make up for that crushing loss to the Steelers from a few years ago.

I'm happy with anyone but Denver winning the Super Bowl.
I like the Pats most, but both Arizona and Carolina are solid teams.
Sometimes the Conference championships are more exciting than the Bowl itself.

Most of the time. I think there have been less than 5 really good Superbowls since I started caring in the 80s.

Yes, both Ryans in Buffalo. Rob is just an assistant and not making any defensive play calls.

I really don't care who wins from here on out as long as New England doesn't win the Super Bowl.

Well Brady has looked sick - as in sick with the flu - so far. If he doesn't perk up (or get the balls softened to his liking) they ain't winning shit.
