Football

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...

Dallas getting kicked in the dick gives me hope Detroit has a chance to also kick them in dick.
Otherwise we just have to beat the Vikings at least once and/or ironically root for the Packers in week 17.

And I don’t want to get ahead but it’s possible we’ll play the Rams in the wildcard round. ALLLLL the goodwill Stafford built up for ten years will evaporate if he leaves Detroit with still only one playoff win since….forever. Lol

I'm unironically rooting the Packers, simply for the semi-personal connection.

:shock: :D :shock: :D :shock:

I swear to god time slowed down as I watched that interception in the end zone.

EDIT. are you fucking kidding me? The Cowboys are playing the Dolphins on Fox. And my Fox affiliate is showing the who-fucking-cares Cardinals-Bears game. WTF? Both of those teams are TRYING to lose that game. Chicago winning gives the Cards a better chance to snake the #1 pick from Carolina, which screws the Bears. Nobody wants to watch this turd fest.

The Lions win their division for the first time since 1993. That was before the realignment, so this is the first time they won the NFC North.

I was looking at how feasible it would be for Detroit to slide into the one seed, and unless the Commanders, Giants, and Cardinals collectively have the greatest final three weeks ever, that’s probably not happening.

Other than the Miami vs. Dallas game, everything went the Bills way this weekend. They are in control of their destiny now.

I was happy Miami beat Dallas, even though it wasn't perfect for the Bills. Fuck Dallas.

Normally I'm there with you on the "Fuck Dallas" thing, but it was the Dolphins.

Barring some crazy miracle from Deebo Samuel, it looks like I'm going to win my fantasy football league.

Look, Dallas has been undefeated at home, so I wasn’t expecting a victory…but that was soooooo fucking close. So fucking close.
And THREE tries on the conversion? The balls on Dan Campbell.

He's the real deal. I'm not sure if the refs fucked up that "wrong O lineman" reported situation or not - but it sure sucks if they did. Ugh.

Trying to keep track of what the early game results mean for the overall playoff picture is exhausting - I'll try to watch a half time bit during the late games.

I bet when they were making the schedules before the season began, the NFL was super hyped for today’s Bengals/Chiefs game. And now that it’s here, it’s like who cares lol.

Bills-Dolphins got flexed into the night game next week to finish off the season.

Last year, Detroit spoiled the Packers playoff hopes. This year, it’s the Bears turn.

So Michigan will play Washington for the National Championship. According to my fitbit, my heartrate was at 133 when Alabama finally snapped the ball for their final attempt at tying the game. This was after both teams had called time out to prolong my agony. What an awesome feeling to finally - FINALLY beat the SEC... to FINALLY get a win in the playoff & to FINALLY make it to the championship game.

I'd love for Michigan to win, obviously, but there would something a bit poetic about Washington finally winning a title for the Pac 12 conference after it's embarrassing & painful dissolution over the past few months.
