Crazy Town

It’s that time again.  That time when 6-7-0 teams are talking playoff scenarios.  You know, the one where they win their remaining three games and everyone else loses all of their games.  It could happen.  But it probably won’t. 

It’s math.  Well, it’s Monte Carlo simulations.  That’s still math.  Fancy math.

Buzzkills

My fellow citizens of Patriots Nation are serious buzzkills.  So negative.  So pompously whiny.  Are we become everything the pigskin blogosphere say they loathe and despise us for?  Smug entitled self-absorbed assholes?  Wait, don’t answer that.

The Church of Tim

If the season ended today, Tim Tebow would be the quarterback of the AFC West division champs. 

So it was written.  So it has become.

Clarity Always Comes Too Late

The playoff picture seems to be coming into focus.  So soon.  Perhaps, but the math starts to get simple with five games to go. If the Bengals go 3-2-0 down the stretch to finish 10-6-0, the Jets would need to win out to avoid tie-breakers.  If I’m a Jets’ fan I would have to believe the Jets can do just that; at ‘Skins, Chiefs, at Eagles, Giants, at Dolphins.  As a Patriots’ fan, I’m looking forward to Miami knocking the Jets out of the playoffs with a last second field goal.  As for the NFC, with all those cars swapping paint in turn number three, I’m still waiting for the inevitable three car pile-up coming out of turn four to sort things out.

Thank You, Mr. Lincoln

Before I forget, let me wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving.  All holidays are stressful, of course, but Thanksgiving has turkey, which is a de-stressing protein (it’s science!), which makes it awesome.  Also gravy, which triggers those areas of your brain that tell you what you’re doing is so, so right.  I don’t put anything on my plate that shouldn’t be covered with turkey gravy.  Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, biscuits and in a pinch, peas.  Hold the cranberry sauce.  I just can’t find out cranberry sauce is good with gravy on it, too.

I bet that’s what they eat in Heaven on Thanksgiving Day.  Solid gold bowls filled to the brim with cranberry sauce and turkey gravy.

Just Another Post

Beware your worst fear; it will always come true.

Who said that?

You didn’t invite him to the party, did you?
