i <heart> nfl: divisional weekend!

After pissing everyone off by picking up the flag for pass interference in last weekend's Lions/Cowboys, the NFL tries to save face by having the Mueller report published this week. Naturally, this "independent" investigation the NFL paid for found Roger Goodell had not seen the inside-the-elevator tape of Ray Rice punching his fiancee. In fact, the only problem seems to be that the NFL didn't have enough power. Roger Goodell is failing upward. This is making me angry... onto the games!

Was this Pass Inteference? Yeah prolly...

Patriots (-7) vs Ravens (Sat 4:35pm ,PJ Leahy's, LIC): Now that Pats coach Bill Belichick joined the Legion of Doom and has ingeniously installed a fuck machine at quarterback, will it give my beloved Ravens a Gronking to remember? Joe Flacco really turned on his elititude the last time these two teams met, handing Tom Brady his first loss given a halftime lead.

Seahawks (-11) vs Panthers (Sat 8:15pm): The Seahawks host their cousins in what looks to me a minor speedbump on Seattle's road to the NFC Championship game. But sweet Jesus stop it with the seismographs.

Packers (-6.5) vs Cowboys (Sun 1:05pm, Starting at my apartment and continuing out in LIC, hit me if you're interested!): The Double J looks to bring his mojo to Green Bay, where after robbing the Lions (and this poor kid) last week. They say the longer the wait, the sweeter the Romobyl, but no one actually wants the threat of the Cowboys in the Super Bowl, so this needs to end now.

Broncos (-7) vs Colts (Sun 4:40pm): If Trent Richardson can provide the Colts with enough energy at the running game, it's possible that Indy can upset the mighty Broncos. Expect Colts fans to have a difficult time figuring who to root for.
