That's it. Let it out!

I bathe in the tears of Packers and Bears fans. Give me more!

(Lions fans get a pass because I feel bad for them.)

The thing about the Giants (and every Giants fan knows this) is that whenever we lose, it's usually us beating ourselves.

Corporate pigs - just like all the rest.

Quote:NFL owners spending millions on Congressional elections


Quote:With lawmakers trying to crack down on stadium subsidies, investigate the problem of concussions and spotlight domestic abuse among players, NFL team owners are pumping more cash into congressional races. In the first half of 2016, they spent an average of $300,000 a month on political contributions, directing the bulk of their money to Senate and Congressional campaigns on both sides of the aisle, according to a prominent campaign finance watchdog group.


You can't legislate against a concussion, you bastards.

They are also fining players more for celebrations in the end zone than they are for illegal hits to the head. Cam Newton is not playing this week because of one such hit, and the player got fined $18k.

Meanwhile, Antonio Brown gets fined $23k for this:

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

With the Eagles losing to the Lions and the Broncos losing to the Falcons, the Vikings are now the only undefeated team left in the NFL this season!

Whoever played the Chargers won. Sounded on twitter like it was come-from-behind. Maybe not. Anybody watch?

The Chargers were down 3 points in the last two minutes, but they muffed the hold on a field goal that would have tied it.

I'm simultaneously thrilled and nervous. Seems I've been down the path of heightened expectations before . . .
