So Dave Foley is a Canadian Mob Boss. I love this season already.

Please tell me the teams interviewing Jim Caldwell are just satisfying the Rooney Rule. The Manning-less season was a train wreck. Put me down for uncertain with playoff expansion as well. Frankly, this year would be pretty descriptive - you catch the rare 10-6+ team that doesn't make the...

The con is that the system sales areterrible. Nintendo will be lucky to turn this into a Gamecube-level also ran. In the short term, it means that Nintendo will have to cut the price again (though with the level of hardware you have, I doubt you care); in the long term, it means that there will...

Losing by 3 points is better than I thought that'd go. I still like every home team next week, though they should all be good games. Remember, the Chargers beat Denver in Denver a couple weeks back.

The historic playoff formula is running game and defense. In that system, one of the best QBs in the league is Alex Smith. The larger trend that I think hasn't been investigated enough is if the NFL has turned into the NBA without our noticing - that to win, you need to get lucky at QB with...

This going to be like a 10-7 game at halftime that turns into 42-38 final score, isn't it.

True, the seeding rarely works out, but this year seems to be the exception. No one has gotten hot recently, and the seeds are largely as they should be. So all things equal, I am giving the win to the team without the travel and at home. E.g. I think the Seahawks and 49ers are basically...

Are we really not doing a playoff thread? Going with: WC Colts over Chiefs Eagles over Saints Bengals over Chargers 49ers over Packers DIV Broncos over Colts Patriots over Bengals Seahawks over 49ers Panthers over Eagles XFC Broncos over Patriots Seahawks over Panthers...

That bugged the shit out of me. It was clearly stated back in thee pilot that he had a law degree (he just faked the Bachelor's required to be admitted to law school), and the whole "Graduate from community college to practice law" was clearly predicted on having the middle step (law school)...

The hyper-democrat dinging someone for (potentially) being gay? That's our Araysar! As for the game, yeah, I'm obviously hoping the cold is a factor. With the number of defensive guys hurt, I don't think it will be enough of a factor (and am frankly shocked how many people are picking Green...

Err, you do notice that between Jan 25 and Feb 26 there are a total of two things on the list - and one of those is just on the internet! But for your larger point, its a no-win situation, as its the end of sweeps. From what I've seen, most networks are taking a grab bag approach, with new...

I read an interesting stat, with the Ravens out of the playoffs, the two teams with the current consecutive playoff runs are now the Patriots and... the Packers (at 5 each). In regards to the Packers, the Bears changed their head coach last year, and the other two teams in the division are...

Whoa, Romo can possess other QBs now!

It's $17.6 Mil cap hit if they keep him, only $7.2 Mil if they get rid of him. $10.4 Million savings is nothing to sneeze at, when the cap is essentially flat again.

Given how incestuous the Patriots/Chiefs/Browns management has been, and how likely no one else would hire him, McDaniels is an entirely plausible candidate there. Edit: With the Jaguars at 3, Browns at 4, Raiders at 5 (though I would bet it gets traded away), and Vikings at 8 before the Rams...

Where's the Playoffs thread, so we have something to talk about. Of course as I type that, the Cowboys get virtually guaranteed points.

The Browns brought in Mike Lombardi as effective, then actual, GMafterChudzinski was hired. This is less egregious than, say, Lovie Smith.

Suck it Bears, the Packers win!... the chance to get killed next week. (Though honestly, if we get the Saints, so Brees, on the road in ugly, cold weather? I think the Packers have a fair chance to win that game.)

The Steelers are actually going to make it into the playoffs. What in the fuck.

Also, the Green Bay Packers went 15-1 in 2011 after winning the Super Bowl. (They then got stomped by the Giants.)

When I picked the Dolphins, I thought "The entire season is on the line. Of course the Dolphins will fuck this up!" I shoulda listened to myself.

I gotta admit, I was so wrong on him. I thought Rivers was flat out done, but instead McCoy and Whisenhunt have turned his career around. I'm not even salty about the lack of Packers players on the Pro Bowl. All the good names spent significant time on the injury report, except Lacy, who is...

Okay,nowthat's the game of the weekend. Sorry Orton! Wow, jimmies rustled. You know, 21 other teams could have drafted him before the Packers got to...

This is the closest thing to a bye week the Chiefs have. This is the only game with a possible playoff team where the outcome does not matter (at least until we see some of the early results). Plus Reid hasn't been around long enough to hate the rest of the division. Forget second stringers...

She ain't my damsel. Both my questions were legitimate - I was actually wondering if there was some incident that explained why she was still on that terrible show, and really wondering if Kreug knew Paquin didn't have anything that would sway Singer.

1) Is this some reference I don't get? 2) You do know Singer is gay, right?

Don't count on it, now we hear that Rodgers wasn't remotely close to being cleared (which makes this weekend doubtful), Lacy looks to have aggravated his ankle injury, Matthews reinjured his thumb, and one of the linebackers left early on. It is entirely possible, even likely, the Bears win next...

Congrats Shea McClellin on single-handedly winning the NFC North*. And it feels like I've been saying this for six months now, but how do we still not have any idea who the 6th seed in the AFC is? It could still be 4 out of 11 teams! *P.S. Chicago, please overpay to keep all your veterans...

Pretty sure if Lions lose either of their next two games everyone is fired. Also pretty sure I will have nightmares tonight of Lovie Smith taking over and getting to work with those defensive players.

God dammit, Clay Matthews really is turning into the White Polamalu - great half the time, injured the other half.

Newton hurt? Not that it will slow Seattle's march to NY down, but 49ers beating them in divisional is suddenly possible.

Pretty sure the GM needs to go first in Dallas...

Arguing with some people over The Hobbit changes made me realize I never gave this game a try. Where (if anywhere) do people go for forums for "rotations" and such? Or is the combat so trivial at low levels it does not matter? Also, are there any significant differences in the storylines...

It's unclear (to me, anyway) if War of 5 and Dol Guldur are separate events or not in the movie version, but add in Smaug and you have up to three long set pieces. It certainly seems like they will do something with Mirkwood, given the Legolas and Tauriel stuff 'invented' for this movie...

My review isn't anything you haven't already heard: it's better than the first chunk; I'm still looking forward to the fan edits that chop this movie down to about 1 hour once all three parts are out (just subtract the elf-on-orc killing and you're halfway there); some of the special effects are...

Yeah, if Bears lose to Eagles, and Packers lose to Steelers (especially without Aaron Rodgers, neither outcome is all that unlikely), then if Lions win out they take the division. If they don't all the coaches are fired. That division is going down to the wire.

I think we all expected the FG for the win, if not the interception.

Wow, I can't believe the Cowboys could suck enough to give the Packers the win. Also, do I still have time to make the front of the line for "I can't believe the Cardinals are sitting home in January while the Ravens/Dolphins aren't! Ban the conferences!"

Or unlike their fans, the administration has some level of intelligence and decided that actually knowing if Cutler is the future or not is worth more than a Wildcard weekend appearance they're 80+% likely to lose. /Realizing the irony in saying "administration with some level of...

I must be a simpleton, because after just the meta- in Glover's "Son of a bitch, after all that show did for him!", I am totally back in.
