Just as quickly and sloppily the season starts, it ends. As we all expected, Week 17 saw a good share of merciless beatdowns and close games ending in heartbreak. And me? I’m just heartbroken that there are no more AFC teams left that I can root for without feeling guilty. In an odd turn...

‘Twas the week before Christmas and all through the league, not a starter was stirring, so they sent in some backups to do an even more mediocre job. Does anybody remember the strike of 1987, when America was subjected to watching 3 weeks of football played entirely by scabs, schmoes and lowlifes? Well, I...

Many would say that this was a shocking week in the NFL. The Bills, Cowboys and Broncos actually won games, a few top-ranked defenses got rousted, and a game ended in an actual miracle, complete with divine intervention and all that other nonsense. Frankly, I’m more shocked that 10 weeks of the season has...
