Football

most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...

Moderators: Batman, Zero, John Madden, Bob Ross, General Zod, Richard Simmons

I thought Goff already had a shitty large contract.

I have Swift and Jamaal Williams on my one fantasy team. Having Swift out actually helped Williams.

He’s on the last year of the deal they inherited from the Rams in the trade.

The small consolation of being dead last in the entire league halfway thru the season is seeing the Packers and Bears also having shitty seasons.

Also we’ll get the number one pick. And if the Rams continue to shit the bed we will have another high pick.

Probably won’t help, but…

First the Packers, now the Bears! This team is a fuckin’ rollercoaster lemme tell ya.

The Bills/Vikings game was a crazy ending too. Holy shit.

I had to go out to do stuff with my wife and kids during the Bills game. By the time we stopped for lunch, it was the last minute of regulation. I was able to follow the game on my app. Kind of glad I didn't watch.

I can see both of them making it to the SuperBowl, so they’ll get a rematch.

Michigan beat the piss out of Ohio State again today - that's 2 years in row after failing the vast majority of the time the past 20 years. Feels absolutely great. I'm happy Jim Harbaugh can finally say it's been worth all the ups & downs.

He actually did do that. I was thinking about his playing years today - I'm old enough to remember him playing for Michigan & then going on to play for the Bears. I didn't think he, as a player, had ever run the table the way they have this year. The googler advises me of the following:

1982 - true freshman, did not see the field. Retained 4 years of eligibility.

1983 - #3 qb.

1984 - beats Bernie Kosar's Miami Hurricanes to start the season but suffers 2 losses before breaking his arm. Season done.

1985 - beats Ohio State & then Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl (somehow Iowa winds up in the Rose Bowl). Finish #2 in the country, based solely on writer's voting of course.

1986 - Beats Ohio State, but loses to Arizona State in the Rose Bowl.

This is interesting to me because I was absolutely sure he lost to Rodney Peete's USC Trojans in the Rose Bowl to end his career - turns out that was not the case. Rodney Peete never won a Rose Bowl, losing to the Spartans & Wolverines in his 2 attempts. Weird how your memory plays tricks on you.

The best thing about this season is watching both the Packers and Bears sucking as much as the Lions this year. It’s the little things in life.

Also, that Rams draft pick is getting shinier and shinier…

The best part of the Thanksgiving Lions game was Bebe Rexha's ass.

...from a certain point of view. I was happy the Bills won.

I typically ignore halftime shows, but caught part of it. My first thought was that there it seemed like a strange place for her to perform because was no way anyone in the stadium could see her. Apparently she was booed.

I dinnae think they were booing HER perse, but the fact that 97% of the stadium couldn’t see/enjoy the alleged halftime show. The stage was the size of a dining room table and it was squirreled away in a corner of the stadium only visible to three or four rows.

The Bears are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs.

The Packers victory puts them past the Bears as having the most all time wins as a NFL franchise.

Rounding out the top ten are the Giants, Steelers, RedskinsCommanders, Eagles, Rams, Cardinals, and the Lions.

Cardinals have the most losses, followed by the Lions.
