Your “How the Hell Is it Mardi Gras?” Open Night Chatty-Chat

Seriously. T-Swift can'y even stand yet after post-Owl celebrations her and Travis have been doing, and it's friggin' Lent tomorrow. On Valentine's Day! Anyway, it's Mardi Gras tonight, so NAWLINS had to have been weirder than normal this past weekend/week. I'm grew up Catholic, and now generously describe myself as "lapsed" at

Your Yinzer/Wing How Did We Get Here Playoff Afternoon Thread

  Well... For the life of me, I still cannot piece together this season. We saw QB2s all the way to QB102, all of which were still better than Uncle Jack Pickett, Kissin' Tittay Truthbisket, and especially MILF Hunter Z. As always, our pugilist, law-talkin' aquatic mammal's write up about the weekend's

An Ant Has No Quarrel With A Boot: 2023 Buffalo Bills at the Bye (and Open Thread)

MAYHEM'S 2023 PREDICTION: "12-5, tied for AFC East crown. As always, the injury factor will be dispositive, but we have reason for Hope." HOW'S THAT LOOKING?: I mean, I was right. Injuries have decimated the Bills. Pro Bowl cornerback Tre'Davious White? Pro Bowler Matt Milano? Pro Bowler Dawson Knox? All of the Safeties (except

Paradise By The Dashboard Light: 2023 Carolina Panthers at the Bye (and Open Thread)

MAYHEM'S 2023 PREDICTION: "6-11. It’s not going to be a pretty 6-11 either, and without a first rounder next year, I wouldn’t hold out much hope there either." HOW'S THAT LOOKING?: Even Worse! The Panthers are 0-6, showing almost no signs of life on either side of the ball. So: meatloaf. Or

“So Far, So Good” Said The Skydiver With No Parachute: 2023 Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the Bye (and Open Thread)

MAYHEM'S 2023 PREDICTION: "4-13. Look for Ryan Tannehill or Kirk Cousins to sign here next year if they don't have the draft position for a top-tier QB." HOW'S THAT LOOKING?: Not great, Bob! The Bucs are currently 3-1, and that is their best-likely-case scenario. Sure, a radioactive cheese steak could have

Nobody’s Chargers 2023 Season Preview: The Happiest Place

INTERIOR – DISNEYLAND PARKING LOT, ANAHEIM, CA – MORNING JUSTIN HERBERT: Oh boy oh boy! I'm so excited to finally get that authentic Hollywood experience! Somewhere where I can be just like all the locals! I can't wait to try Wolfgang Puck's for lunch! [Looks around the otherwise empty parking lot with

Burdened with Glorious Purpose: 2023 Buffalo Bills Preview and Tuesday Open Thread

2022 PREDICTION: 9-8 2022 REALITY: 13-3! (No record for Cincy game, on account of Damar Hamlin temporarily dying) From last year's Preview:   There is nothing more depressing to a Bills fan than an expectation of success. We can't cope with it, because of our near-religious faith in The Narrative. The Narrative has taught us

MRSA MRSA MAAAAAN: 2023 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Season Preview (and Open Thread)

2022 PREDICTION: Optimistic 2022 REALITY: Bad, but good enough for the NFC South title Coming off a 13-4 season and a close loss to the eventual champion Rams, Tampa had reason to feel good about their chances. Tom Brady returned from 40 days in the desert of spending time with his beautiful

Can’t We Just Hit “Simulate Season”?: 2023 Carolina Panthers Season Preview

2022 PREDICTION: Bad 2022 REALITY: Worse (but not bad enough) The Carolina Panthers. They have been in the league for nearly 30 years, and yet they have never shaken that Expansion Franchise stink despite playing in two Super Bowls- which I attribute to their insistence on teal-adjacent colors. They exist solely to

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The True Nadir

Well, for anyone who watched, that was a bit of an eh game at least in the middle innings. The 8th and 9th were interesting though. For anyone who didn't, the NL beat the AL 3-2 in the All-Star Game in Seattle last night on the strength of an 8th
