    Is the implication Gordon was so high he couldn't even pick out his own name? So glad the NFLPA is fighting tooth and nail for the rights of players to throw their (already short) careers away.

    I am almost positive the networks picked the games they protected months ago, and cannot protect anything in Week 17 anyway.

    Rodgers hobbling around and Packers unsurprisingly going nowhere against a competent defense. How does Seattle/New England not have a 90% chance to be the Super Bowl matchup.

    Nah, Catler under Trestman bus, as Trestman attempts to buy another year by blaming everyone else. In his defense, McCown didn't seem to have these issues either, though a lot of that is probably small sample size last year mixed with either tough defenses...

    Most coaches' contracts have 'offsets' built-in, which basically means that the old team is still on the hook for the difference. E.g. I had $3Mil a year guaranteed, I get a new job that pays me $1Mil a year, the original team still has to pay $2Mil a year to get me back to the guarantee. And...

    The amusing thing is even the top of this page is bitching about my preseason trade. You all should have known better than to doubt my winning strategy... of being the guy to get Odell Beckham Jr off of waivers.

    So the Bears suffered another demoralizing loss AND managed to lose in a manner that got me into the Championship in the Auction and Fun II Leagues. Nice. Woulda been nicer if the Packers hadn't shit the bed, likely dropping from a first round bye to losing as a wildcard.

    It's going to be embarrassing when the Packers have to go to the NFC South winner as a wildcard. It'll be even more embarrassing when they lose.

    I'm surprised there isn't more playoff talk here. Sure, those AFC wildcards (and the North) are a god damn mess still, but the NFC (outside of the South) is a down to just one question: Seahawks/Cardinals/Packers/Lions/Eagles/Cowboys. One of them isn't playing in January. And it sure looks...

    I've been telling you guys, the first time the Packers run into a good defense (Lions, Seahawks), the wheels probably fall off. Hell, with Lions and Bills in the regular season still, it's not inconceivable they end up the #5 seed and lose to Atlanta in the wildcard weekend.

    I like to have a junior team to watch, a non-playoff team from the other conference that is on the upswing. If you were in the AFC, the answer would be obvious: the Vikings, who look like they will be trouble in a year or two. In the NFC, though, I'm having trouble. The Texans are a QB...

    Maybe I just see it more praying for Rodgers' life every week, but it sure seems like you could convincingly correlate OL health with the differential of actual to projected wins, with the Dallas Cowboys on one side of the spectrum and the Panthers/Saints/Falcons/49ers/etc. on the other.

    Terminator Genisys (2015)

    Unless there's some third act twist that punts Sarah/Kyle into the future or something, this just seems like a pointless rehash of T2. Sure, there's no Eddie Furlong, but there's also nothing novel or interesting (aside from the certain-to-fuck-up-his-epidermis helicopter dive-bombing).

    I think the Packers run until they hit a quality defense, and then it is over. Could be Seahawks (who Packers lost to), could be Lions (who Packers lost to), hell, maybe even the Cardinals, if their season survives that long. Or if Rodgers suffers even a minor injury (as when the Packers lost to...

    Aren't this year's schedules built with way more divisional games at the tail end than usual? Your stat isn't just a function of division quality, but also how many in-division games (that only one team can walk away with a win in) theyhaven'tplayed yet.
