Eh, after watching Mike and Mike lose those other two games, I am going to have to instead go with Mike. (Is it really taking this long to come up with pro-Patriots analytics?)

I didn't like how gassed the Seahawks defense looked in the fourth, but the Seahawks sure had the better offense vs the Patriots today, even if you toss out the snowy portion of the AFC game. Seahawks over Patriots - The Patriots can turn Darnold into a pumpkin with a ferocious sustained pass...

Packers don't play the Browns next season, but with Gannon as DC, we'll probably inexplicably botch the game vs the Jets and/or Dolphins. Speaking of the Packers, that special teams gaffe could cost the Rams the game.

Do people really buy Conference gear in bulk? Either its superseded by your Super Bowl win in two weeks, or else you were just the Super Bowl loser.

I've been saying it for weeks, both high seeds being cold weather teams in mid-January with no traditional juggernauts meant the field was wide open for someone to waltz in. And now regardless of how they got there, they're just 60 good minutes away from a Lombardi trophy.

If the Seahawks win they have to be heavy favorites. Even the Rams might be favorites over the Pats, unless the weather is terrible.

Or not, no offense + bad punting is not a good situation for NE.

This game seems like its over.

I wouldn't want the Ravens OC job, because Lamar runs that org until he's off the team / off their books, and the OC / HC will get the blame until then. I wouldn't want the Browns job, because they still have to pay the Deshaun tax for years and the org is a mess. I wouldn't want the Raiders...

It's weird how all of the big three of the 90s had different arcs: TNG had a very weak beginning (all those leftover TOS scripts) and mostly skippable later seasons (most of their bigwigs were working on Star Trek: Generations). DS9 had a weak beginning but just kept getting better over the...

So the Ravens have Lamar running the team, the Browns have Shedeur and an organization no one even wants to interview for, and the Steelers have a terribly overpaid defense, no QB, and now McFatty. If Burrow and the Bengals can't get anything done next season, Cincy needs a complete rebuild.

I know nearly all 'cherry' flavoring is really grenadine, made from pomegranate juice. I also know it is called grenadine because the fruits reminded people of early explosive grenades, pomegranate being literally "grenade fruit", which sounds like the straightest of produce. I don't know how...

For F1, two reminders: 1) The field was expanded from 5 to (potentially / usually) 10 because mass market movies like the Dark Knight Rises were being left off the list in favor of pure Oscar bait. 2) There are (or at least, were prior to the voter expansion) a lot of Euros in the voting...

Apparently Lost references have aged out: The Man Behind the Curtain (Lost) - Wikipedia was the first episode to have flashbacks for Michael Emerson's character. (Fun fact: Jon Gries - the NCR Ranger who gets mind-chipped here - was also in that Lost episode as Emerson's dad.) The point...

I hate The Man Behind the Curtain. Obviously, that actor does well with parts where his alignment is in question, and he was a big actor for his screen time up to this point, but there was nothing - NOTHING - that suggested he was someone in a position of power in the footage so far. Nor is...
