I wouldn't be so sure. These playoffs feel super open; almost every team feels some degree of fraudulent. Even a number of the good teams are getting blown up by injuries, and all it takes is remembering how to play football for some 60 minutes.

The offensive line was what killed them. They had no ability to stop the Vikings from pressing the same button over and over, and the center kept causing turnovers. The defense put them in a totally winnable position (even if it was just because of who was quarterbacking the Vikings), and they...

Worst game of the Campbell/Goff era. I don't even know what to say to that.

In my head, the third big holiday is Thanksgiving. I realize this doesn't apply outside of the United States, but Christmas and Halloween also aren't celebrated everywhere.

The curtains being blue has significance if it leads us to interesting and edifying analysis. "Meaning" is a human-imposed quality, not one inherent to anything.

I wish I did this last night, too.

I guess I would rather do what I actually did last night: not watch football.

I forgot there even were Saturday games, to be honest. Why does the NFL do this at the end of the season? That's college football day, even if college football is in playoff mode right now.

I don't think that I'm going through the same sorts of things that you are, but I'll second a general dislike for this time of year. For me, the holidays mean hectic plans during the time when I most want to relax, and I live in a place that gets battered by snow during the winter months, which...

I went to bed after the pick. Sad!

This goes for astrology, too.

The lack of onions tells me that you are to be trusted. Fuck McDonald's onions.

What people actually call vanilla is "basic," which leads me to a take of my own: We need to kill "basic" as an insult. All it does is make people self-conscious about their enjoyment of popular things, which leads to a plague of insufferable contrarianism upon all our houses. I'm an advocate...

Also, why are Lions fans doing the whole victim complex about the officials, saying they rigged it for the Rams? The defense got nuked from orbit, and the offense didn't do shit in the second half until the game was all but lost. That bogus touchdown ruling? They would've scored on the next play...

Well, the Lions put together one half of great football! That's better than zero halves! I also got to hear Tom Brady say "piss missile" on the broadcast and read about the Chiefs being eliminated, so today was basically a win.
