Ouch. I had completely forgotten about that. Poor guy. He and Blair Walsh should get a beer together.

I mean, yeah. He’s a kicker.

That was the most perfect onside kick I’ve ever seen. They’ve probably been practicing that every day for about 6 years.

I remember a time when Washington was competitive in the playoffs, but that was many moons ago.

Sometimes I’ll get a long strip, so I can like feel it pulling off as it goes, and it bleeds. In my head I consider it “a good one.” It never really hurts too bad, though.

I bite skin off the inside of my cheeks. Like, big chunks of it. Always have. Probably always will.

I love that the angle of the steps forced them to come face to face before Coughlin could make that hard left.

John Darnielle is awesome. Finally got to see him play back in the Summer. This makes me like him even more.

Sounds like Diana’s mom’s fridge is covered in print-outs of her posts.

I remember reading its because some games ‘own’ the NYE date and others New Years Day, so since the two playoff games rotate among the six bowls’ this will happen every few years rather than changing the dates of the bowls.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you being a place kicker is a chill and fun job.

Given his following of Scientology, it’s really no surprise Will Smith is very impressed by all this.

Wow. I don’t see a resemblance, but that actually makes the make-up work more impressive!

Seriously! I’d really like to see how much he actually looks like Heath Ledger without the makeup. It’s uncanny!

Ineluctable. This is a new word for me! Cool.

The Iran deal alone should warrant giving John Kerry a nod here.

I had Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town and Frosty the Snowman. I watched those tapes soooooo much! Also, Here Comes Peter Cottontail, which, while not Christmas related, was and is my favorite of the three.
