Did you all miss Wild Card Weekend Quotables? Yeah, that's right. I de-platformed the NFL for adding two unnecessary teams to the playoffs. You know what the NFL needs to do to make the game more interesting? Rip off that salary cap, let Elon buy the Chargers, and eliminate shoulder

Twas a lovely feel good moment for a fan base that has been kicked in the nads so often for the last quarter century and beyond, really. And to do it against the team that has grinded their hopes down into an ashy paste under their jackboots won't soon be

I hope all y'all are well, and staying sane-ish. [Why give up on madness now, when it's brought me this far?] Saturday gave us the two fixtures that I cared most to watch. As usual, the NFL playoffs did a great job of confounding pre-kickoff expectations. I had zero faith in

Hello from the new base of cocktail operations. The bar has been put in its place, however the bar books are still boxed up, and the glassware is still buried somewhere in my kitchen. At least the booze is a bit more accessible... So what does this mean for the drink
