To pause my petulant shitflinging for a moment, Merry Christmas to all of you fellow NFC North posters. Hopefully we can all get all the coordinators and head coaches we want (:lol:), draft and sign all the players to fill the gaping holes in our teams (:lol:) and have a clean, injury free 2018 (:laffo:)

No.

We live in the Great Lakes region. The Midwest is Iowa/Kansas/Missouri. There is a distinct and recognizable cultural difference crossing over from the lakes regions to the Iowa hellscape.

Merry Christmas.

Well I hope at least one baker at O & H - that’s it right? - lives to see another holiday because I’m ordering the gently caress out of Kringles. We don’t have poo poo like that in NY. We’ve got 5 million lovely artisan pies that are $60 each though!!!!

Minnesota and Wisconsin are the same except Minneapolis is way better than Milwaukee and Minnesota doesn't have a historically important party college town like Madison. Also Wisconsin has a discipline problem, must be why we beat you at football nearly half the time.

I think Martinez could be good for a while. Good jersey choice by whoever bought it.

I need an away jersey. I kind of want a HaHa jersey because Clinton-Dix is probably really bizarre to people who don't watch football.

Foles was looking a little gimpy near the end of the game. Or at least I assume that's why.

I guess but now of all times is a weird one to talk about how great an expensive trade for a player who isn't playing is weird.

Yes, I think the Eagles would be far more dangerous with Bradford under center than Foles... Not sure how that's an out of left field take, but it is what I am asserting.

probably cause the Vikings trade for Bradford is thoroughly disconnected from the current situation. it’s highly unlikely the Eagles would have held on to Bradford for this season had they not already traded him.

Vikings-Bills can still happen, too.
But it won't because the Bills benched Tyrod and they're going to miss the playoffs because of that loss.

While there is a certain appeal to the possibility of Vikings/Bills (the 0-4 bowl!) I just feel like the Jaguars are a lot more realistic of a choice. If they get their poo poo together the Jaguars might have an actual chance against the Steelers/Patriots while the rest of the AFC just doesn't.

My white away jerseys are Clay Matthews and Charles Woodson. I still wear them both somewhat frequently. The one away jersey I have that I don't wear anymore is Greg Jennings, after how he left the team and talked ten tons of poo poo about the Packers on his way out the door.

my Lions jerseys are a Charles Rogers home jersey, Roy Williams road jersey and a Calvin Johnson home jersey, and until I got the last I thought I was cursing whoever's jersey I'd bought

Find someone who values you like Rick Spielman values 7th round picks.



I've got Jared Allen and Bridgewater home with Adrian Peterson away.

I only wear my Bridgewater as the Allen one is old and falling apart and, well, I'm not wearing my AP jersey anymore.

I think I might buy a Diggs, Thielen, or Rhodes color rush though.
