i <heart> nfl: week 17

Welcome to the final week of the regular season! So far, congratulations to the Pats, Houstons, Chiefs, Chargers, Cowboys, Saints, Rams, and Seahawks on making the playoffs! The final seedings and teams will make it today. I'm currently on vacation in Puerto Rico, so all times are Atlantic Stantard Time.

2pm (AST): None of these games are worth watching save for the future impending First Amendment Supreme Court case regarding whether NYF Giants fans can inform their team that they 'fucking suck'.

5:25pm on the dot: Minnie Vikes are in with win over Bears, but instead the Eagles are in with Minnie loss and win over Skins. The Ravens are in on win against Browns. KC Reidskins get 1st in AFC with win over hapless Raiders. The Steelers are in with a win against Cincy Bagels, which will be tough with their receiving threats on the injured reserve, but also need a Browns victory, which is asking a lot.

SNF: Indy or Titans in on win, but if there's a tie, neither of them get in and the Steelers advance which would be such an AFC South thing to happen.

i <heart> nfl: week 14

Welcome to December, where we can start speculating about which teams we'll see in the postseason (hint: not my Dirty Birds!). How is your team faring!?



TNF: In a staple of Thursday night football, the Tennessee Derrick Henrys embarrassed an  Jax Jags squadron the is not in The Good Place even after benching QB Blake Bortles.

Sun 1pm: My Dirty Birds are barely hanging onto their playoff hopes (nopes?) as they host a GB Pack  who has finally fired their head coach for ruining the team and former legend Brett Favre was tricked into recording an anti-Semitic video about not letting the small get you down. The QB situation of the Washington [Redacted] has gone from bad to Buttfumble Recovery to worse as they do other bad stuff, too, like signing players with domestic abuse arrests, selling a plush doll of their murdered star player, and having shitty fans in general, as they host a NYF Giants side where the star WR is fed up with the offense. Having shed the losingest coach in history, the Cleveland Browns then proceeded to trash him on the field of his new team, and are now on to host the Carolina Panthers in order to trash their playoff hopes.

4pm-ish: You'll be surprised that the 34-game parley needed to carry Jon Gruden's Raiders to the payoffs failed, while QB Derek Carr has followed his brother into Stat Hell, and they now host the Yinzburgh Steelers with QB Ben Roethlisberger crapping on his teammates for his poor performance.

SNF: In what should be a quite watchable matchup, da Bears are unlocking the real 2nd year QB Mitchy Trubes just as LA Rams QB Jared Goff is unleashing Halle Berry.

MNF: Will the Seattle Seahawks continue to dish out cheap shots against the Minnesota Vikings while these teams currently sit in the NFC Wildcard picture?

i <heart> nfl: week 12

Since my team is doing so poorly, I need to feel better by looking at teams way worse than mine. So in that interest, here's a two-fer for the NY JETS.

Thanksgiving: One of the more successful NFC North franchises defeated the Detroit Lions while they were yelling at you to sit up straight at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Stuck with a Colt McCoy under center the Washington [Redacted] fell to the Dallas Cowboys. I am not thankful about my Dirty Birds performance against the NO Saints, while Falcons WR Mohamed Sanu is thankful for the life of Stan Lee.

Sun 1pm: The NYF Giants know it's only crazy until you do it against last week's Ass Team of the Week in the Philly Eagles. After achieving pick-six/touchdown parity, the Nathan Peterman era in Buffalo is officially over, as the Bills continue to be inspired by Tecmo Bowl play calls and dildos on the field, as they host a Jax Jags squadron whose defense is let down by the lack of offense. The Ravens find a spitting image of Louisville's playbook to make QB Lamar Jackson the playmaker that Joe Flacco has not been for some time, as they host an Oakland Raiders franchise whose QB/HC combo wears the score on their faces.

4pm-ish: Will the Yinzburgh Steelers find it challenging to contain the Denver Broncos pass rush from spooking QB Ben Roethlisberger? 

SNF: It is GB Packers QB Aaron Rodgers' first game back in the Minnesota Avicide Center since his collarbone was broken there last season, as these two teams continue to foolishly chase bears. 

MNF: The Texas Houstons mourn the loss of their somewhat controversial owner as they host the Tennessee Titans.

i <heart> nfl: week 11

Well we've finished product roughly on time once again! Enjoy.

TNF: In some classic Mike McCarthy game mismanagement, the Packers once again dropped the ball against the Seattle Seahawks.

Sun 1pm: The Tampa Bay Bucs look to improve on their scoring ratio of 1 point per 167 yards against the suddenly entertaining NYF Giants. Hopefully my Dirty Birds will take their opponent seriously this week, coming in the form the Double J's Cowboys. The Tennessee Titans, a quantum superposition of contender and pretender, look to antagonize an Indy Colts franchise whose O-line is keeping Andrew Luck vertical for once. Does the fact that the Pittsburgh Raiders have been successfully held out against change their game plan against a Jax Jags squadron that is back to looking like their comical selves of late. We may get some classic RGIII action as the Ravens may need to lean on their backup backup QB against division rival Cincy Bagels. As a Bill Belichick coaching product, Matt Patricia had his D'town Lions practice in the snow in preparation for their next four indoor games, the first of which is against the Carolina Panthers.

4pm-ish: Intentional grounding on 4th down is not just a metaphor for the Oakland Raiders season, but is also the product on the field as they visit the Zony Cards.

SNF: Can the Bears trust Mitchy Trubes against division rival Minnie Vikes?

MNF: The KC Reidskins look to improve on their 9-1 coin toss record as QB Patrick Mahomes, and his presidential appetite for ketchup, recovers from being killed by his virtual self against the LA Rams.

i <heart> nfl: week 8

In NFL news this week, an official was fired midseason for the first time in the Super Bowl era for missing obvious false start calls. And in other news, here are the best ways to relieve oneself during the game.

TNF: "Expect the worst and get the best" as QB Deshaun Watson and the Texas Houstons lit up the MIA Fins.

Sun 9:30am: The rapidly collapsing Jax Jags cross the pond to field the strength of London Bortles or otherwise demonstrate that Colin Kaepernick should be in the league as their unbenched QB faces the hungover Philadelphia Eagles.

1pm: Will we see the same elite mattress-purchasing in Ravens QB Joe Flacco we got last week as the Ravens visit the artificially fired up Carolina Panthers? The Bell-less Steelers host the memefication of the Cleveland Browns. The Broncos travel to the advanced defense of the KC Reidskins after cutting their starting QB for trespassing into a stranger's house.

4pm-ish: Scottish ethics professor St. Andrew Luck and his Colts take on an Oakland Raiders franchise whose coach has lost the locker room and QB has lost the confidence of his teammates for crying after a hit and personnel has lost the second and last of their Pro Bowlers after WR Amari Cooper was traded to Dallas.

SNF: Here's hoping that Minnie Vikes shutdown CB Xavier Rhodes can start against the NO Aints in a rematch of last season's playoff game that gave us the Minnesota Miracle.

MNF: The Buffalo Bills will continue to search for the Derek Anderson renaissance as they continue to get trolled by mascots while hosting the hated New England Patriots.

i <heart> nfl: week 7

At its fall meeting, the NFL dumped its never-enforced National Anthem policy. It was also reported this week that Los Angeles will be saddled by the Chargers for at least 20 years before they can escape to a city where they can develop a fan base, because citizens of LA clearly do not care for professional football.

TNF: John Elway, the architect of the disaster that is the Denver Broncos, continues to blame everyone but himself for the franchise's woes, got a reprieve by kicking the shit out of the Zony Cards, who are toilet soup.

Sun 9:30am: The Tennessee Titans QB Marcus Mariota aims to achieve sack/pass completion parity this week as they face off against the Chargers in London.

1pm: The Buffalo Bills opt to start their old QB over their shitty QB against the Colts. The Lions face off against Miami, where it's the month of Brocktober, as the backup QB continues to start for a Dolphins squadron that has committed Saudi-esque things to starting QB Ryan Tannehill

4pm-ish: Fun fact: The Baltimore Ravens are the only team that has never suffered a loss at the hands of New Orleans' Drew Brees, having won the last four contests against the Saints.

SNF: Will the KC Reidskins clock "creativity" again pose a threat for what should be a sure win against the Cincy Bagels?

MNF: My Dirty Birds host a NYF Giants franchise that can't hide the fact that Eli Manning is on the team and a dehydrated WR in Odell Beckham, Jr. who doesn't like drinking water so much he has to leave the field early to get an IV.

i <heart> nfl: 2018 season outlook

Welcome back to another season of the NFL! Well, we're actually well into Week 6 of the season, and I guess that's because I had shit to do. Now that things are settling down, I aim to resume my weekly updates with characteristic regularity.

Nextly, congratulations to the Philadelphia Eagles, who should have been my Dirty Birds the year before!!!

Onto the teams! Vegas win over/under totals in parentheses. 

AFC East:

New England Pats (11.0): Fresh off a Super Bowl loss, I wonder how the Pats would have done if HC Bill Belichick had not benched star CB Malcolm Butler. Watch the drama unfold as hometown bargain (as 44th highest paid NFL player) and QB (and definitely not WR) Tom Brady pissily rage quits press conferences when he gets questions about his shady holistic lifestyle and personal training company. Also that the owner had a love child and their completely non-racist fans burnt Patriots jerseys when some players kneeled for the national anthem, and I look forward to what this season will bring.

NY J-E-S-T (6.0): Going into last season in rebuilding mode, the J-E-S-T managed a 5-11 record because they can't even tank properly. They retained the services of their shitty coach and GM because the owner was to busy raising his sons to be shitty. The J-E-S-T traded up to pick large-headed QB Sanchize 2.0, another USC product with a fumbling problem can look forward to mentorship by ancient journeyman Josh McCown. At least they can be proud they're not the Giants.

Buffalo Bills (6.0): After making the playoffs for the first time this century due to a flash of competence from the Bengals (!?), the Buffalo Bills traded away the mispronounced QB Tyrod Taylor and replaced him with human piñata Nathan Peterman. The fans of this team, which is responsible for domestic terrorism and naked felony vandalism, enact metaphors for this team's end result every season.

MIA Fins (6.5): After the Jay Cutler experiment last season, starting QB and project-you-forgot Ryan Tannehill returns to the helm of this mediocre offense. All of the linesman are concussed or insane.

AFC North:

Bodymore Ravens (8.0): Fresh off failing to make the playoffs due to a touchdown pass from the Red Rocket, the Ravens will continue to employ the quantum superposition of eliteness himself, QB Joe Flacco, whose wavefunction long ago collapsed to the 'not' state, under center. Meanwhile, stud rookie Lamar Jackson will languish on the bench until the owner forces HC Jon Harbaugh to start him.

Cincinnati Bagels (6.5): Buffalo MVP Andy Dalton still coached by Cincy HC Marvin Lewis. Vontaze Burfict is suspended for the first four games, so other defensive members will have to step up on the dirty hits.

Cleveland Browns (5.5): As the second NFL franchise to achieve a winless 0-16 season, the hapless Cleveland Browns can't even win at losing. The brightest outlook for the Browns this season is it can't get any worse than the last one. They've now gone from trusting the process to burning draft picks. Coached by Hue Jackson, who hasn't lost his magic of winning one game over the past two seasons, look forward to new OC Todd Haley getting into bar fights and crotch-grabbing Oklahoma product Baker Mayfield under center. 

Yinzburgh Steelers (10.5): The most successful failures in the NFL were trounced by the Jax Jags at home twice last season much to delight by everyone who's not a Yinzer. Gray-dicked QB Ben Roethlisberger is at the helm for another season because he feels the pressure from drafted rookie QB Mason Rudolph. Their star RB will hold out for the entire season so these fucks don't run him into the ground.

AFC South:

Jax Jaguars (9.0): Your southern franchise of the Buffalo Bills. Last season the Jags made it to the AFC Championship game (!?) on the strength of their defense, o-line, and running game, only to fuck themselves out of a lead against the hated NE Pats (causing this "halftime adjustment"). Much like his own wallet, QB Blake Bortles puts the football in ill-advised places. Jacksonville is the only city in which I've seen a Nazi #irl.

Tennessee Titans (8.0): The Titans, who won a playoff game for the first time in, like, forever, immediately went on to fire their HC after their inevitable loss to the Pats. New HC and and total meathead Mike Vrabel takes the helm as the Titans look to trample the weak and hurdle the dead, surely sage advice for our imminent post-apocalyptic world. 

Texas Houstons (8.5): Your favorite prison run by inmates, the Houstons should get a few weeks out of the second coming of RGIII in QB Deshaun Watson, because the Houstons aren't allowed to have nice things.

Indy (6.5): Things are looking up for Indy, since the physical problems with QB Andrew Luck are actually mental, and he is now actively surviving the act of throwing footballs, so much so, that he's sure he can throw one over a mountain. Prolly cause all the players suck, this team got stood up at the altar when Pats OC Josh McDaniels retracted his deal to become the head coach, so look forward to them driving that truck into the ol' tar pit this season.

AFC West:

Denver Broncos (7.0): If you're looking for a team that is defeated in the draft as well as on the field, then the Denver Broncos are for you! While CB Aqib Talib departing will lead to a loss of snatched chains, the drafting of LB Bradley Chubb joining TE Jake Butt is a gain for juvenile humor.

KC Chiefs (8.5): The KC Reidskins abdicated themselves of game-manager QB Alex Smith this season to start the second coming of Brett Favre, who's 69-yard (heh) bomb against my Dirty Birds in the preseason is the longest recorded NFL pass. The NFL shows how little fun they are by not letting actual doctor/KC linebacker Dr. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif put the M.D. on his jersey. 

Oakland(ish) Raiders (8.0): In what's supposed to be their last season in Oakland before taking a permanent residency in Las Vegas, the Raiders are gonna grind you back to 1998 with the hiring of HC Jon Gruden. Out are analytics and data (or day-ta) and in are fullbacks, old school football, and Spider 2 Y Banana. 

LA Superchargers (9.5): This NFL franchise that is only ever noticed by opposing fanbases, for losing games in the stupidest ways, for everyone who played on the team dying, and everyone else on the team being injured. They'll win the AFC West and no one in LA will care.

NFC East:

Dallas Cowboys (8.5): This Trump-supporting fan base should know that his Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh doesn't think Dez caught it. Hats off to Cowboy's owner and noted anthem-respecter the Double J, who will let you play on his team if you beat up women or violate substance abuse policy, but not if you take a knee. QB Dak Prescott will have an even worse year throwing to a cast-off receiving corps that can't even keep a car in bounds.

NY Football Giants (7.0): The New York Giants are aware of the video showing that they are rebuilding their team around the 37-year old QB that is Eli Manning. At least they drafted rookie RB Saquon Barkley to pair with receiving threat Odell Beckham, Jr (powered by cocaine pizza) in his last year of contract, even if the GM doesn't trust the math. 

Philadelphia Eagles (10.0): Now that the Eagles have won a Super Bowl, the ashes of loved ones have finally been spread, thrown beers were effortlessly caught, and Tom Brady's ass has been slapped. The franchise that had testicular fortitude to call the Philly Special against the Patriots will, soon enough, regress back to getting the wrong play formation tattooed on their bodies, looting gas stations, and making draft moves too clever for themselves. With last season's almost-MVP Carson Wentz still injured, which Nick Foles will we get to start the season?

Washington [Redacted] (7.0): It's a different vibe on this team, with QB Kirk Cousins going to the Vikings and being replaced with the elder Alex Smith. To anyone who's talked themselves into thinking this is a good idea, I've got a position for you on the White House communications staff.

NFC North:

Da Bears (6.5): If you were wondering which team to root for that has needless celebrations resulting in fumbles, head coaching that results in turnovers, an offense that shelters sophomore QB Mitchy Trubes so he doesn't make any mistakes, and a front office left with the only unsigned drafted rookie, then da Bears are for you!

D'town Lions (7.5): Michigan, the state that aims to be the capital of (non-Catholic church-related) sexual harassment cases, had its D'town Lions go and blindly hire NE Pats OC Matt Patricia as their head coach without checking him out, and you'll have to either guess or click on this link to see what he's been accused of.

Green Bay Packers (10.0): Don't worry when QB Aaron Rodgers inevitably shatters his collarbone again, because your quarterback room is exactly where it needs to be. Come December this team will be the football equivalent of shitting in a hamper.

Minnesota Vikings (10.0): Something called a Case Keenum was brought to the NFC Championship by something called the Minnesota Miracle. This season, the Vikes will employ a new QB in Kirk Cousins, who's corniness is actually an asset in the Midwest, until he meets his inevitable death by a tube of rocks. At least any idiot with a video tablet can do your head coach's job.

NFC South:

ATL Dirty Birds (9.0): Expect great things now that the Falcons offense has warmed up to its offensive coordinator. That is unless my Dirty Birds continue broadcast their play calls, as when they came up short against the Eagles last postseason, or walking saltine and QB Matt Ryan continues to throw assterceptions.

Carolina Panthers (9.0): If you like sexual harassment and domestic abuse in the form of team management, the Carolina Panthers are for you. Out is perma-scowled owner Jerry Richardson and in is new owner and displayer of brass balls David Tepper. On the field, we have a QB in Cam Newton who, when not concussed, is being trashed by his former wide receivers.

NO Aints (9.5): Pass is… CAUGHT! DIGGS! SIDELINE! TOUCHDOWN!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!! When the Saints defense went low, Stefon Diggs went high to come up with the Minnesota Miracle, a game-winning last second touchdown that is a karmic retort to Saints fans celebrating the Pats the previous year (for me, at least!). Remember that this team treats their cheerleader like a certain type of people a certain time ago and who's formerly mentally competent and now dead owner is enstatued for not moving the team to San Antonio after Hurricane Katrina. 

Tampa Bay Bucs (6.5): Guess who's suspending for three games after groping an Uber driver!? Why, that would be none other than Bucs QB Jameis Winston, your crab leg-stealing, W-eating FSU product, who has grown and learned as a person as much as he has as a quarterback. A more entertaining product can certainly be found in the mobile strip club outside than on the field.

NFC West:

Santa Clara 49ers (8.5): The Silicon Valley 110001ers finally secured a QB in porn-star-dating Jimmy Garoppolo that is as hot as the seats in the sun at Levi's Field of Jeans. 

Seattle Seahawks (8.0): Seahawks head coach and STEEL BEAMS DON'T MELT advocate Pete Carroll ran out of motivational stories so had to overhaul the roster, making leading rusher QB Russell Wilson the only player you recognize on the empty husk of this team.

Los Angeles Rams (10.0): Mercifully free of former coach Jeff Fisher's 7-9 bullshit, new HC and notable millennial Sean McVay took the Rams to the playoffs for the first time in 13 seasons, and Los Angeles couldn't give less of a shit. The Rams could get more attendance at their games by issuing casting calls.

Zony Cards (5.5): Reverting back to shitty form last season, veterans QBs Sam Bradford and Mike Glennon welcome rookie and noted anti-Trump Instagrammer Josh Rosen to the Brett Kavanaugh of NFL franchises.

i <heart> nfl: super bowl lii!!!

What: Super Bowl LII between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Boston Region Patriots is a rematch of Super Bowl XXXIX!!! What's changed? Push.

When: Kickoff is at 6:30pm EST (NBC) inside a dome and not on CBS. Al Michaels will be calling the play-by-play, with Cris Collinsworth as the color guy and Michele Tafoya on the sideline. Advantage Patriots.

Who: NE Pats QB and father of an "annoying little pissant" Tom Brady is four years past life expectancy for a Patriot while the Eagles' Nick Foles looks to join the list of backup QBs that have won Super Bowls after starter Carson Wentz tore his ACL in December. Push.

Where: Minneapolis Avicide Center US Bank Stadium, where the Vikings became the 52nd team to not host their own Super Bowl. After receiving that brotherly love in the NFC Championship game, Minnesotans are planning on killing Eagles fans with kindness. Advantage Patriots.

How: While both teams were number one seeds in their respective conferences, each had a blowout win and a victory that came down to the wire. Push.

Why:

Push.

Offense: Both offenses are ranked near the top, but New England has a RB by community while Philadelphia's hopes depend on which Nick Foles shows up today. Advantage Patriots.

Defense: Both defenses are also ranked near the top, but the Eagles look to sack Tom Brady as much as possible with lots of depth and versatility in their defensive front. Advantage Eagles.

Ownership: Boston-born boys Kraft and Laurie each own a team in the Super Bowl and reside part-time in Palm Springs, FL. Push.

Entertainment: As retribution for the previous wardrobe malfunction, Justin Timberlake plans on revealing one testicle during the Halftime Show. Push.

Celebrities: Bradley Cooper is embodying the Eagles playoff effort, while noted Pats fan Mark Wahlberg doesn't mind if they win. Advantage Eagles.

Love: The City of Brotherly love boasts a team with 5 members having brothers that are also NFL players. Eagles TE Zach Ertz is trying to achieve championship parity with his wife. As a country, most of America hates to see New England in another Super Bowl. Advantage Eagles.

Celebrations: The Eagles have had the most creative touchdown celebrations over the season, while NE just (sometimes) has the Gronk spike. Advantage Eagles.

Bowls: The Eagles are trying to win their first Super Bowl ever, but it's hard to win a Super Bowl if you've never won the Super Bowl. However, the City of Philadelphia perennially hosts the Wing Bowl. Push.

Technology: Our eventual robot overlords are picking the Eagles to win. Advantage Eagles.

Repair: This Philadelphia auto shop fixes cars better than New England fixes games. Advantage Eagles.

Authoritarianism: This Collingswood, NJ mayor is threatening to shut off the water of his Patriot fan neighbors, however the Unforced Error that is our president has strong ties to the Pats owner, coach, and QB. Advantage Patriots.

Security: While the Pats are upgrading security to keep Tom Brady's jersey safe, police in Philadelphia are coating the lamp poles with gear oil after finding Crisco an ineffective deterrent. Advantage Eagles.

Knowledge: While both better than these Jeopardy! contestants, Tom Brady doesn't fare very well at trivia, yet Eagles WR Alshon Jeffrey guarantees his team will win. Advantage Eagles.

Animals: Tom Brady has been bitten by dogs twice while the Philadelphia Eagles are taking their underdog status to heart. Advantage Eagles.

Enjoy the games, everyone!

i <heart> nfl: championship weekend!

Well this weekend isn't going to be great for NFL fans in the U.S. Military. Due to the government shutdown, nonessential services such as the Armed Forces Network are no longer broadcasting, depriving those stationed abroad from taking in the games. Those near USO Centers, in South Korea, Japan, Germany, and Italy, for example, will be able to stream the games through NFL Game Pass for free. For the rest of us, it's time for Championship Weekend!

Sun 3:05pm CBS (Gantry Bar, LIC, NYC): With everyone outside of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts rooting for the Jaguars, formerly-benched QB Blake Bortles and his pissed off Sacksonville Saguars take on the NE Pats and QB Tom Brady's mysterious hand injury. The Jag's clairvoyant defensive ends predict the Pats will be giving out turnovers as the defense talks an ungodly amounts of shit. 6:40pm FOX: Authorities in the City of Philadelphia are greasing the light poles in anticipation of a win from the underdog Eagles, who are again hosting a playoff game at the Linc, now with one third of their terrible field improved! After last week's 'Minnesota Miracle,' the Vikings' vicious defense faces an Eagles offensive line that bulldozed my Dirty Birds out of the playoffs last week. While the two Jeff Fisher-era Rams QB castoffs prepare for the big game, Vikes fans are taunting Philly residents by doing the 'Skol' chant on the Rocky Steps. Hmmm... I wonder what happened last time someone tried to troll people with that chant? Win or lose, Eagles fans are sure to punch horses, climb greased up poles, and destroy anything lying around, which makes me happy to watch this games from a safe distance in New York.

i <heart> nfl: divisional weekend!

Welcome to the second week of playoff football! All the teams are playing this weekend, and most games are predicted to be close. While the definition of what constitutes a catch was last season's officiating controversy, this season it's the definition of forward progress, and it's already had quite an effect on Wildcard Weekend. In non-playoff-related NFL news, the Cleveland Browns' 0-16 perfect season parade went on as planned.

Sat 4:35pm NBC (My couch, Center City, Philly): It's too bad the Philadelphia Eagles won't soar with backup QB Nick Foles under center, and as the first No. 1 seed to open the postseason as an underdog, they face my Dirty Birds squadron that have found their defense at just the right time and whose o-line is literally carrying the offense. 8:15pm CBS: After catching his own touchdown pass led to a comeback win over the KC Reidskins (surprise!), QB Marcus Mariota and his Tennessee Titans look to make NE Pats QB Tom Brady look like Blake Bortles as their defense plans to be everywhere. Pats TE the Gronk, who knows not to eat Tide Pods (cause that's a thing for some reason) and has 69 receptions for the season, will be active for the game, whereas the superficially spiritual Tom Brady will put anything in his body his quack trainer tells him to.

Sun 1:05 CBS: After losing the battle of offensive incompetence, Jax Jags QB Blake Bortles, who already looks very much like Blake Bortles, travels to a Yinzburgh Tequila Cowboys Steelers team featuring star WR Antonio Brown as a game-time decision against a stout Jags defense. Not being able to predict the future, I can tell you that the Jags will never win the Super Bowl. 4:40pm FOX: The Minnie Vikes are hoping to be the first team to play the Super Bowl at home, as they host football team and Panthers new owner the NO Saints.

i <heart> nfl: wildcard weekend!

Welcome to the first week of playoff football! Before we get to the games, let's tally up all the coach firings this season! Ben McAdoo (Giants) was the first to get shitcanned, followed by Chuck Pagano (Colts), John Fox (Bears), Jim Caldwell (Lions), and Jack del Rio (Raiders). On to the games!

Sat 4:35pm ESPN (PJ Leahy's, LIC, NYC): After battling inconsistencies, find out if the Tennessee Titans will get after it or are a bunch of Mularkey against the classic Santa clock management and offensive powerhouse QB Alex Smith of the KC Reidskins. 8:15pm NBC: My Dirty Birds look to disrespect the LA Rams, who have gone from '7-9 bullshit' to the playoffs for the first time in over a decade by creating the NFL's scariest offense, on their way back to choking in the Super Bowl. As the City of Angels still hasn't taken to the Rams, I hope for SoCal-based Falcons fans to create a road-game-like environment for them.

Sun 1:05pm CBS (still deciding): The Bills were propelled to the playoffs by the Cincy Bengals clutch win over my beloved Ravens last week, and Bills fans have returned the favor by donating $17 contributions to Andy Dalton's charity and feeding the Bengals chicken wings, however this is cold comfort for Bengals fans given that the Cincy win sealed another contract extension for HC Marvin Lewis. Now, the Jax Jags, along with untrusty QB Blake Bortles, look to piss off a Bills squadron that had just this season benched their playoff QB. 4:40pm FOX: New Orleans Saints HC Sean Payton hopes to bring a strong Three Stooges game to Carolina Panthers HC Riverboat Ron's strong T-shirt look.
