most tv sucks these days, but there are some shining examples of good writing, acting, camera work, etc... we call those Deadwood and Arrested Development. Family Guy sucks ass, though...
First off, the Bucs’ completely unnecessary pass play so Mike Evans could get his 1000 yards made me smile.
Second….
"No Tom Foolery today, Ron. I'm tired of looking at your dreadful, speckled mug." "Why do you hurt me in this way, Harry?" ”It’s a grid system motherfucker. Eleven up and one over, you simple bitch.”
The best narratives to win the Superbowl for the eight remaining teams, from worst to best.
8. Philidelphia. Nobody wants to see Philly in the Superbowl, let alone win it, except people from Philly. And not even all of them.
7. Baltimore. The Ravens are like the Eagles, except in the AFC. In fact, if Philly plays Baltimore in the SB, nobody will tune in.
6. Kansas City. Apart from the possibility of a threepeat, nobody is excited to see the Chiefs return. Except if the only other option is Philly/Baltimore.
5. The Commanders making it with their rookie QB as underdogs is a good story. I don’t see that happening.
4. The Texans have never been to the Suberbowl. And neither did the Oilers before them. Houston winning is a good story.
3. Stafford caps his career with a second ‘chip and retires Peyton Manning style.
2. The Bills erase the 90-93 seasons and right the wrongs of the past. I think them finally getting past the Chiefs to make it to the big game will be a fantastic story by itself.
1. …………Once again, I pinch myself to see if it really happened………….

The ghost of wide rights past looms large over story #2. Literally everyone should want Detroit or Buffalo to win, especially if their own team is no longer in the hunt.
The Ravens practiced indoors today because it was too cold outside and the ground is frozen. The forecast for gametime Sunday night is 11°F with 15 mph winds (so 3°F with the windchill). They might avoid injuries at practice, but the field in Buffalo will also be frozen.

My options for who to root for in the SB are dwindling.

Whichever teams plays/loses to the Chiefs.
If anyone farts in the general direction of Patrick Mahomes, the NFL’s designated walking logo, it is an automatic 15 yard penalty + an free extra down for the Chiefs + the Chiefs get an automatic extra point added to their score.
Whoops, the other team’s defense just lined up on the line of scrimmage against Mahomes. Which is suggestive they hypothetically mean to do him harm. Thats another automatic first down for the Chiefs…

Congrats to the Bills! Only two wins away!

It’s like Lucy and Charlie Brown. Every fucking year.
I’m so sorry Bro.
