I rather liked Fuzzy Nation. Then I reread The Android's Dream on a hunch and saw just how thoroughly he had plagiarized his earlier book.

Well, the lack of actual talk about the Super Bowl is kind of weird. It's probably a combination of everyone already tired of the concept of two solid weeks of talking about Harbowl, Ray Lewis, and in distant third, Bold Moves (Cam Cameron and Alex Smith "firings"). But a lot of it has to be...

What part of "2013 NFL Playoffs" means "spouting irrelevant bullshit about non-2012 seasons" to you? The modern Patriots have folded against strong defenses with even a whiff of a passing game. Belichick should go down as one of the all time greats (as painful as that is for many to admit)...

Now that ends it.

BS' been wondering all week whom Pollard would kill. He's even been giving him the full name, serial killer, treatment in his columns. Now we know. He's killed the entire Patriots season.

Ravens playing like a team fighting for a massive contract extension and/or literally in fear for their lives of letting a certain teammember down. Harbowl is nigh!

NBC's current deal is that they get the Saturday Wildcard games and every third Super Bowl. (CBS this year.)

If the SF CBs don't wake up soon, this is over.

Before the season, I said Harbowl. Before the postseason, I said SF/NE. Thinking back, the earlier my guesses are, the better (which makes no sense). So I am reverting to Harbowl. Going bold!

Did they forget they did http://penny-arcade.com/comic/2009/09/25? Honestly, Final Fantasy Football is a catchier phrase.

The NFC North gets the AFC North and NFC West next year (Cards and Browns the only weak teams in the bunch); Bears SoS opponents are the Saints and Cowboys. I expect only the NFC North divisional winner to be in the playoffs next year (and to be bounced by the divisional round); I wouldn't...

Am I the only one that's dumbfounded by the Lost Odyssey love? They took their Shadow Hearts: Covenant, fixed the graphics, but then took out 95% of the charm of SHC, leaving a lifeless Final Fantasy clone. Sure, if you need to play a game on your 360, it's not terrible, but odds are you...

Again, to reiterate, Nintendo's E3 lineup should beawesome. The problems being: 1) They'll all be Nintendo made. 2) Who knows how many will make it out in 2013. 3) 720/PS4 launch titles could make them look like garbage (despite how well they play). I probably will pick a Wii U up. I just...

Now that we've had a better look at software numbers, the situation is even uglier. NSMBU is selling well. Aside from that, yeesh - ZombiU has sold over 100k. Every non-Nintendo game has sold worse, with many only in the 10k-20k range. It turns out (as everyone that wasn't a Nintendo...

Closing in on FG range!

Look, Kaep was especially suited to hurt the Packers - just consider the issues they had with Ponder, for fuck's sake. Their big guys up front of D could not hold up against SF's (admittedly quite good) OLine, and the CBs picked a bad week to shit the bed. 1) I don't expect Kaep to hurt the...

Dude, even the Dallas fans can leave their non-playoff team talk to the other thread. Are you finally admitting to us and yourself that you are worse than a Dallas fan?

Two questions: 1) Doesanyonethink Alex Smith would have done as well this game? 2) Given the current score, does anyone think SF wouldn't have won* (again) in GB? Because the location of the game is about all the "Fail Mary" amounted to. *Remember, CK grew up in Wisconsin, so he would have...

Time to start drinking heavily.

Sigh, that was a 7 point mistake.

FG for the win. Wow.

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.
