Belichick’s a prick but he doesn’t deserve the Old Yeller treatment. That’s for his staff when they leave the nest.

Feels like I need a triangle right now. No idea why.

I would sooner watch a game with more shots of Taylor Swift than actual football over a game like this. GG Broncos, you broke the streak.

Did they hire a teenage girl on DeviantART circa 2007 to draw that logo?

The obsessing over ratings sounds like some very insecure people obsessing over whether their team is popular or not. If someone is a TRUE and HONEST fan of a team, popularity shouldn’t be relevant. EDIT: Obviously, if one’s paycheck is reliant on TV ratings, that should be a concern. As a guy sitting on the couch with pants being optional, caring about ratings makes that person a loser.

Any Given Sunday. Or Monday. Or Thursday. Or Saturday once college football’s regular season ends. Tampa Bay vs. Buffalo NY Jets vs. NY Giants (the streets of Manhattan stink less than this matchup) Jacksonville vs. Pittsburgh Philadelphia vs. Washington LA Rams vs. Dallas Minnesota vs. Green Bay Atlanta vs. Tennessee New England vs. Miami New Orleans vs. Indianapolis Houston vs. Carolina Cleveland vs. Seattle Cincinnati vs. San Francisco Kansas City vs. Denver Baltimore vs. Arizona Chicago vs. LA Chargers Las Vegas vs. Detroit

Somehow I think that the talent difference would still be apparent in 1973 or 2023. I’ll let Mitch Holthus speak for myself here.

They're every negative stereotype of a union made incarnate: Fat, lazy, tend to screw up jobs and would rather protect bad apples so long as they pay their dues than make sure that they do their job properly. So of course everyone would tell them to go fornicate themselves if they went on strike again. Would just accelerate the transition to robo-umps. I, for one, would welcome our cybernetic scab overlords because umpires aren't the only profession that covers for incompetents and those who would abuse power for petty reasons.

And the Patriots are on top. Probably for good as there are 12 seconds left.

Pretty sure that’s supposed to be more like a witch doctor’s headdress. Still inaccurate, but not something that would rile enough people up to care.

Hail to the Victors* I guess.

Pretty sure the 17 game season is only because Goodell sees lubing up the players for an 18 game season gradually works better than forcing it from the start. 2025 is the earliest that transition can take place and I don't doubt for a second that that is when it will happen.

Yeah, the sleeveless look is terrible, but I liked the modernization of the font during the mid-2000s Royals era. I could've done without the heinous baseball being played then but that's another story entirely.

At some point I kind of do. Losing 16 straight times to the same team has to be incredibly demoralizing. Then I remember John Elway and Peyton Manning and I realize that I shouldn't mourn for them like I don't mourn for the Pats and how fans of other teams won't mourn for the Chiefs when their run is over.
