And to his credit, he’s really good in a way that SNL doesn’t foster. He stays grounded in character and doesn’t overplay things for laughs.

There’s a smart subtlety to his work. I know it wouldn’t get ratings, but I would love to see a sitcom built around him.

I don’t know, they are a bunch of fucking morons.

As opposed to all of those years when you could hang your hat on a victory over the Lions?

But no, they bad.

I think it was in part the offense reverting to mean. They’re not going to be able to move the ball consistently because Trubisky is terrible and none of those receivers are really scaring anyone. That puts it on Howard to do things on the ground and really, he’s not a good enough back to work through the boxes he’ll…

I’m surprised he didn’t point out that the Bears didn’t have much of a pass rush in the second half either.

Trubisky completed nearly 60% of his passes after the first quarter for an average per attempt of 2.76 yards.

That’s not going to win you much.

That’s a damn fine deep Parks and Rec cut.

And the Bears got one playoff win in large part because Jay wasn’t capable of anything above lower end quarterback play over several seasons.

Yep. This is a thin roster that still needs a lot to go right in order to make a leap to a playoff team, even with Mack.

I’d be curious what the makeup of Golden Knights crowds were, because I never liked this theory that they’d lure tourists. Especially since these NFL tourists would be needing flights that leave Vegas probably after 10 PM on Sunday nights.

You mean ‘15 right?

You apparently haven’t met many Colts fans. They don’t make Colts jerseys smaller than XXXL because no Colts fan is smaller than that.

I actually think it’s similar to the scam that Loria ran in extracating the Expos from Montreal (mostly because I don’t imagine that the TV money is all that great for a team that has worked for twenty-five years to make sure that nobody cares about them). Create a situation where it’s “clear” that they can’t make…

If it’s a grift that Jeter’s a part of, who are the marks?

You’re right. You don’t think.

Hooters are in general terrible, but I recall that the one in the city where I went to college was right next door to a baptist church.

From what I understand, there was a decent Sunday brunch/lunch bump from the hypocrite crowd.

In fairness, when the lesser of two evils people get behind a candidate, they’re objectively worse than either of the two supposedly bad options.

I bought a friend a three month subscription for Christmas exactly because I couldn't see how this was a bad deal or would last much longer than that.

Nobody sits there with a thumb up his butt like Dusty Baker.

You would have loved the dearly departed Route 2 they mention.
