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.

Trailer finally prompted me to read the English adaptation. I have to say I hate Emily Blunt for the role - the book version of her is a joined at 16, manner-less farmer's daughter that's turned into the world's foremost killing machine from being stuck in a loop for hundreds of battles. I still...

Yeah, with how variable everyone else is in the AFC right now, I think the Bengals are the best team no one is talking about. I'd think they would be a massive underdog vs. the Seahawks though.

I'm definitely in; the conceit that this is attempt #14,836 (or whatever) explains away the usual absurdities the action hero gets away with. As to why is Cruise constantly doing sci-fi, it's a two-step question. Step 1 is why is Cruise in so many big action movies - the answer is because...

Were Fight and I the only ones to see this? Because if so, good. This was not a good movie, despite the cast.

Eh, that was still quite a few shades from Coughlin Cold.

Yep, if the Shanaclan get fired, they still get the money remaining on their contracts and can apply for open positions elsewhere immediately. Why wouldn't they try every passive* tactic possible? *Passive as in not being put in breach of contract. No shots at ownership. It may take years to...

As disc-based retail games become a smaller and smaller chunk of the market, that seems like a bad idea.

My verdict on Fringe is that the first 13 episodes are very monster-or-the-weeky, although it turns out that the producers were playing a very subtle game, and hidden in those first 13 episodes are dialogue bits, acting choices, and even wardrobe choices that are all hint at the underlying...

Ugh, way to ruin Christmas. And Christmas 2014. And Christmas 2015.

If you're going by today, the Panthers sure look like they will win against the NFC East or North entry wildcard weekend, but don't have much of a shot against Seattle or New Orleans in the divisional round.

I dunno, the Packers (without Rodgers) may very well be the worst team in the league. Edit: Wait, there's the Eddie Lacy injury we needed to cap it.

Rodgers officially out for Sunday vs. Falcons. While I could see them not put Rodgers on IR (its not like they have the guys sitting on the practice squad that would get them wins, if only there was room on the gameday roster) so he can still practice, I don't think he touches the field again...

I'm a bit confused. Firing your coach before the season is over makes sense when you are going after the college pool, because you can get first crack at them and you can interview them during a relative dead period. Firing your coach when you are limiting yourself to NFL only coaches...

FF8's gameplay was shit, with auto-leveling and the Draw system some of the worst ideas to come out of the entire Final Fantasy series. The music was pretty damn rad - The Landing, Maybe I'm a Lion, Mods de Chocobo, Don't Be Afraid, and motherfucking Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec.

Well, every detective-type show has a female cop with big titties. (Speaking of which, add Alcatraz to the list! Mmm, Sarah Jones' boobs...) But I was referring toEleventh Hour (TV Series 2008-2009) - IMDb, which ran on CBS, Thursdays @10pm I think. Premiering the same season as Fringe...

Dollhouse, Terminator, Flashforward, Terra Nova, Eleventh Hour, Threshold, Invasion, (arguably) Lost, (arguably) Chuck, (questionably) Journeyman - and that's just off the top of my head! Of course, few of those shows even lived for two seasons...

The Cowboys have to have a record for most QBs since 1999 now coaching the team, though. (Broncos need it to go to 1998 to have most QBs now effectively GM. History is getting weird.)

Sigh, up until a couple weeks ago the Packers had to go all the way back to 1991 to get a 4th/5th QB in the list.

J August Richards (the black guy in Angel & the pilot) is back next week, and yeah, I expect him to bite it.
