We'uns approximately 50% of the way through the NFL regular season.  Week 9 brought pills, thrills, and bellyaches - just maybe not exactly where you expected to find them*. *Grandson Bronco REALLY likes to knock Precious Pill Bottle off the nightstand.  Good thing the little maniac is cute (pay no attention

Look, it's not like I see everything being ok in the world just because the Donks (WOO!!) finally won a FITBAW match.  No, it's because (i) Donks won; (ii) U*NC lost to 1-5 Wahoowa AT HOME; and (iii) NC State didn't play. Plus, I don't have to worry about my Loser

Well, looky-loo.  We have waded one-third of the way through the regular season.  With one turd of a Week 6 slate. Closing out this year's London series, you had Ratbirds and Tits - seemingly a pretty interesting matchup.  You know, on paper.  In reality, Balmer ran out to an 18-3 halftime lead,

What a time to be alive, eh?  Some things happened yesterday, and here is what I discrened about a subset of said things. We get a near-perfect lineup, in terms of spacing.  1-6-4-1, with each "1" being intriguing enough to serve as a stand-alone option.  But with the NFL, every matchup/window

Don't you just love the MANDATORY 14-hour marathon watches?  I sure does.  But shiiiiiit fahr, is it difficult to remember enough about it all for recap purposes. Execpt that Denver won, thanks to some remarkably dumb Q4 play from the otherwise career-day-throwing Strawberry Fields.  That really was...a game that happened.  A

DonT sent the banner pic earlier this week.  You can't read the caption because it's that kind of timeline - but it sagely reads: When you're dead inside and sick of life but at least there are cats. As you may have noticed, despite a very good overall performance from the much-shat-upon Charmslinger...the

Did you enjoy the FITBAW?  I know you ain't a Donks supporter, then.  Nah, I still was content to watch the highest of all human endeavoUrs, for 10+ hours.  Beats a kick in the head, that's for sure. Maybe we make too much of Purdy Mouth's health scare and/or arm strength.

This was a really, REALLY good game of football.  Jalen Hurts played his ass off.  As DonT noted, Toradol turned Mahomes around while Rihanna did her cat-in-heat screechings. I really, REALLY would have liked to see how that untainted game ends.  With the Chefs up 3, Hurts a buck-forty-five and one

It took me all late game to figure it out, but finally it hit like a bolt out of the blue.  Big Narrative wanted Andy Reid to face the Iggles.  So obvious in retrospect, but I guess I dumbly thought Burrow and the 'KRP crew were an excellent story, and would

I suppose nothing qualified as bananacakes, but hey - except for the Saturday late show, it was compelling viewing.  At least for me. Good news for Kansas City - y'all get to host the AFC Title match after all!  Bad news, you might have to start Chad Henne.  Good luck finding

Oh my cats, did we ever see some shit, y'all.  Credit to sharky for finding this perfect banner pic, to summarize Saturday night. Can't complain about 5-for-5 entertaining games this opening weekend.  Hopefully, that ball keeps on rolling. We opened Sunday with Brokeback's Bills, seemingly ready to skullfuck the LOLfins' practice squad.
