This Week's Game

On the one hand, it counts just as much as the Week 8 Bears game. It counts the same as any other game. Well, out of conference games are pretty low down the list of games with playoff implications. I suppose there must be some advanced analytics that could be applied here. Intuitively, I know that division games are always the most important games on the schedule. Those games carry huge playoff implications. Aren’t they actually worth more than 1.0 games in the standings because of tiebreakers? 1.05? 1.1? Can someone with math skills help me out here?

I don’t know what bothers me more; the haters or the bandwagon jumpers.

The haters are annoying but ultimately pathetic and certainly doomed if it’s true that whatever you put out into the universe comes back to you tenfold. That’s a hate-filled Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing 600 pounds. It is, as they say, a pretty big Twinkie.

The bandwagon jumpers are also annoying. And unctuous. Whenever I’m around bandwagon jumpers I find myself checking my pocket for my wallet every few minutes and I don’t even care if they’re offering to buy me a drink, which is, of course, the very least they could do.

Hello?

Thirsty man, here!
