Motherfuck, I didn't realize the SF/GB game had started - I thought they delay them until the early game is over in the playoffs?

Wow, I thought this would be closer than predicted, but never expected OT.

Fantastic defensive/special teams luck needed to even keep Baltimore alive? Yep, this is more like the game we expected.

Yeah, the show is really going out on a high point, even if one detail from last night annoyed me: If Kaylie and Devon kicked off the whole plot by arranging to be photographed, why didn't she have "Mail Birthday Card" in her master plan to begin with? And why would she even start the plot...

No surprise, the Wii U was as underwhelming as we thought for December, selling only 460k. That's barely better in five weeks than what it sold in the first 10 days, and for historical context, is worse than what the "599 US DOLLARS!" PS3 did in its first December. I'm not saying the system...

Jerry Jones is the new Al Davis?

I amshockedthat Beasts of the Southern Wilds broke through after being largely ignored by the other awards groups; hell, even Behn Zeitlin got a directing nod, knocking people like Ben Affleck (Argo) out of the picture. It's odd how, with Argo and Zero Dark Thirty not getting best director...

Cap numbers at this stage are somewhat pointless (tens of millions will be cut or restructured for almost every team), but isn't this the year that per-team minimums (something like 90% of the cap) kick in? IIRC, that number doesn't have to be spent until the end of the season (so players could...

4/4 myself this week, but I'm reserving the right to reconsider my NFC picks. (I don't see any reason to reconsider the AFC #1 and 2 seeds continuing.)

Redskins running away with this game. That said, does anyone see any of the away teams winning next week? How long has it been since both conference championships were 1-2? (I want to say it happened not too long ago, but is rare.)

Reid to Chiefs just strikes me as "Who offered Reid the most GM powers". I imagine Pioli is gone within weeks (which also calms the fanbase). As to how it works, I dunno. Kolb or Vick (or both - imagine the lulz!) get cut and Reid brings them in for cheap, while drafting a QB project in 2nd...

NFC GB over Minnesota Seattle over Washington Seattle over Atlanta SF over GB NFC Championship: SF over Seattle AFC Baltimore over Indianapolis Houston over Cincinnati Denver over Baltimore NE over Houston AFC Championship: NE over Denver Superbowl: SF over NE

I don't know whether to be amused or frightened that even the creators of Glee think spontaneous musical numbers are only for the deranged.

Guys, there's a difference between "guaranteed to be there next year" and "we'll see what the new GM wants". We've got the latter with the Jets, Jaguars, Carolina, probably Arizona, etc. Just because they have the job today doesn't mean they will in two months, though of course the longer the...

Do we really need to sit through dozens of pages of Romo talk prior to next season starting? This is a terrible draft class for QBs, and does anyone really think Alex Smith / Matt Moore / Chad Henne/ Ryan Fitzpatrick are going to beat out Romo for the job? He's the QB next year, there will...

Now that the regular season is over: AFC It was odd how the AFC segregated itself into the haves and the have-nots so early on; of the non-playoff teams, only Pittsburgh could hit even 8-8. (And I do mean have-nots; the first three, and nine of the first twelve, draft picks go to the AFC.)...

Nope, Vikings FG to win.

The amount of spiteful wins today is amazing. Colts: This game means nothing for us, and only increases our chances of an injury that ruins our chances next week. Fuck your playoff seed Houston! Bengals: This game means nothing for us, and only increases our chances of an injury that ruins...

Chevy won't be in episodes 11 and 12. I'm looking forward to that Christmas episode in, oh, April or so.

The supply for WiiU is greater than the Wii supply. The demand for WiiUs is much more up in the air. The WiiU sold less in its first week than the Wii did (425K vs. 476K)... but still more than the 360 or PS3 did. That said, all evidence for December tends to indicate they aren't flying off the...

Pittsburgh has to draft a developmental QB this year, right?

Did you just start watching football in the last decade or so? The rules Rice, etc. played under were far more weighted towards the defense than the current rules. And it's not that the curse is broken - it's that Megatron is so powerful he can deflect the curse to his teammates! (All...

Well, I'm sure you could make a similar video for any team consisting of their interceptions and fumbles, admittedly with less butt fumbles. (Fumbutts?) But it was pretty damn hilarious. As to the Jets woes, I go straight to the GM. Sanchez got the extension because they had no cap space...

No shit theywantto trade Sanchez, but no one will pick up that contract. It will cost (in cap space) the Jets$3 million more if they release Sanchez than if they keep him. Keep in mind, the whole reason he got the extension was that they were way over the cap this year. Sanchez, barring...

Whoops, I was misinformed, I had heard the behind the scenes accounting was different from the usual Humble Bundle. So no "charitable loans" then. Still doesn't mean it wasn't an emergency cash grab otherwise though.

Says who? Even at the time it was announced it was theorized that THQ was throwing a Hail Mary for immediate funds (perhaps they had loans due on Dec 31?) - we already know from Reckoning that Steam money can take months to show up, so that was out. As to the charity aspect, I admit I am not a...

I said before the season that Sanchez probably stays on their roster (because of guaranteed money) but probably loses the starting job; I've seen nothing in the season to suggest otherwise. Whether the Jets can draft or pick up a decent enough QB is another matter. As for Tannenbaum and Ryan...

MNF games are not flexed; every team plays once on Monday (there are two games week 1 to make up for no games week 17). TNF games are not flexed; every team plays at least once on a Thursday (though due to Thanksgiving games, it's not guaranteed every team plays on TNF itself). SNF games are...

You really think so? I read that quest as the devs winkingly telling fresh 90s "Look, we admit this Panda stuff came out of nowhere, but we'll get back to the longterm storylines next xpac, so buy that one too!" Besides, you really think the point release flow is corrupted leaders to the...

Wait, did the Packers rush no one and Cutler still got sacked?

At the bottom of a very large glass of beer, wondering where it all went wrong? (The answer is, of course, one word simple: Schedule.) Though even I am surprised at the Bears. There's a chance the Vikings can knock them out of the playoffs. Whodathunkit?

I can tell this will be another painful Packers game, even if we win. Double Marshall, throw everyone else against the run, bring in another kicker. What's the problem here.

Again, people need to understand that there is an enormous gulf between "Completely Innocent" and "Guilty with Enough Documented Evidence to Convince Even a Labor-Friendly Appeals Court". All the evidence suggests it is far closer to, but not surpassing, the latter. Assuming that's the truth...

I muted this game two quarters back, I don't know how you guys could stand it this long.

We'll see how the seeding works out, but it sure seems like it should be Giants/49ers for the NFC Championship (yes, again), and Broncos/Pats for the AFC Championship, with the SB being Giants/Pats (yes, again). Given how the Giants manhandled the Packers recently, I would think they win yet...

The AFC playoffs boiling down to Pats vs Broncos, with Pats having the edge, is really depressing me.

I think Bears fandom has simply bought into the "Martz is the devil!" meme, rather than admit that the Bears never had the OLine to run a Martz offense, and still don't have a decent OLine, years after Martz left the picture, even after a new GM.

I appreciate Da Bears leaving open the possibility of the Packers winning the division, but to be frank, I'm much rather run into the (current injury depleted) Bears than the Vikings in the playoffs*. *Which my larger point: maybe its just my bias towards the recent past, but can anyone...

Packers getting worked, again. Cue onside kick here?

As I briefly said on MN, I can't believe it took morning sickness for me to realize that Modern Bloodyface was literally Son of Bloodyface. (I'm already cringing at the Ryan Murphy level of subtlety for that upcoming episode. "I have a baby serial killer in me! End it now!" "LoL, this is the...
