Polygon of Eyes sounds like the name of a D&D adventure I would have written when I was 12, where the only way to slay the 20-eyed Slzzzrrk whose eyes could cast fire, ice, electricity, and even more fire (because why not), would be to cast a Continual Darkness spell on its occular stalk. Of course, no 12-year old D&D…

Rodgers is more consistent, and I would agree as a passer, he is better than Brady. But the question is would be be considered the best of all time, and I think his postseason record would say no. I have no love for the Patriots, but Brady’s six SB appearances and four rings do count for a lot on the greatness scale.…

Um, no.

[Andrew Luck steps into frame in a clean Colts jersey]

I read an op-ed about this, and the writer mentioned that the difference is that traditional sports gambling is team-based, while fantasy is individual-based. The former can be seen as more prone to influence through things like point-shaving where you only need one or two people to collude with you to make it work,…

It was a good play by Matthews, but Cutler didn’t help matters by staring down where he was throwing.

The worst part about last week’s game is that those fuckers got me believing again for three quarters. I went into this season with very realistic expectations of a rebuilding year, a ceiling of maybe 7-9, and just hoping to have hope for next year. And then they played hard and got me cheering and clapping like an…

Jack Kelly’s take on slavery was so hot that if he had written it in 1850s, it would have melted the chains of slaves nationwide and ended slavery on the spot. Or triggered a brutal wave of violent reprisals by slaveowners upset that their property would just let their shackles disappear.

In all fairness, I wish I could forget there is a Bears game this weekend, too.

I think he tried to confess to this in the episode where Kevin insists he started Rashard Mendenhall in the flex when Mendenhall wasn’t on his team.

Jacksonville...where you’re happy to get chlamydia because that means something interesting happened to you there.

The problem is that the coaches are using Bose headphones. They are designed to cancel any superfluous outside noise like whatever sounds are emerging from Todd Haley’s mouth.

I have been a Bears fan for decades and I picked the Packers in my suicide pool. This game is going to the the beginning of a terrible, terrible year.

Right, and I could see o-line/d-line almost being like a fighting game, where the blockers have a lot of moves/controls at their disposal. Pulling blockers, heading downfield, and leveling guys could be a lot of fun. Plus I like the idea of the center being the one in control of snaps on kicks.

I don’t remember how I wound up reading Deadspin. Then again, I don’t remember a lot of things, because of the drinking. But I remember liking it the way I liked breasts—you don’t ask yourself why you like them, unless you’re an asshole, you just want to feel them again. And unlike breasts, I could touch as many…

Kinja really needs to allow formatting in Comic Sans.

“Boss” in a meeting Bruce Springsteen kind of way or “boss” in a Morgan Freeman asking to take a piss kind of way?

Also a good idea to invite Joe Maddon over, because he’ll have a trunkful of free booze from Binny’s.
