To me you can't go into the playoffs worried about playing this team or that team. You're going to have to beat multiple good teams consecutively so you might as well suck it up and get in and face whoever even if that's the Chiefs the first game. Then you win and you're the team to be feared.

As a Niners fan, I ain't worried about poo poo. We're playing with house money at this point so whatever happens, happens.

Andrew Luck is a skeleton now. Any rumors of him coming back can be dug up, tossed into an incinerator and reburied

I’m not sure if that mustache is amazing or terrible. The answer is probably “yes”.

honestly he may as well go for looking like a modern frank zappa, it's not like he's ever been an attractive person in any sense of the word.

I remember someone making the joke that NFL players either get really skinny or really fat post retirement, there's no in between.

Usually linemen get skinny since they aren't eating 6000 calories to keep their weight on, but still continue to work out.

MLB has me wondering

Do the two sides of a CBA always wait til lockout years to figure things out or do the negotiations only get coverage in lockout years?

I don't expect any surprise hires outside this group. Khan, Dodds, Cowden, Ossenfort, Morocco Brown, and Joe Schoen look the most promising to me, judging entirely secondhand from how these teams have built up their rosters.

edit: this was meant to go into the hot seat thread, but enjoy!

Jerry Jones and his 30 buddies are some of the richest people ever and they have complete ownership and control of the product they're selling. The labor position in the NFL is necessarily different than say a unionized grocery store.
