Miro had been a tentative, no-scrap and generally awful and counterproductive player all year. This prevented me from having the chance to roll out my "Hail, Satan" banner at the Igloo.

Snape Kills - my liberal-ass Alan Alda looking dad also hipped me to Bloom County. Absolutely seminal in my development as an '80s teen. IMO this is the gold standard among straight-up newpaper strips, and this is one of the opinions I hold that I believe comes closest to objective truth. What other work comes…

In my mind the boy is small and Thai and smooth.

I hadn't heard this "Quacking" - are Pens fans doing this? I don't think I'll join the movement. It's wrong, like the Panther fans throwing plastic rats on the ice was wrong.

Ugh, Lemaire. If I'm a Philly fan that's the LAST coach I want. Watching his teams trap is like watching dirt erode.

Marty Biron looked like a fucking turd last night. If he doesn't get his head on straight this could be a sweep or a five-gamer.

Heard that…Courntey Brown. William Green. Tim Couch. Kellen Winslow. Gerard Warren. Faine was half decent but he's gone. Now they're going to deal Braylon Edwards. It's odd, but I WANT them to be good. I love it when Pgh and Cleveland have meaningful games. I live near Erie, PA and the NFL fans are split…

You couldn't beat Summerall's voice in the early versions of Madden. Just hearing him sat "Boniol" was enough to make me chuckle.

Yes, Al Michaels with someone aside from Madden will be off putting. For me, the best football booth duo will now be Gus Johnson and whoever they put with him. Steve Tasker comes to mind, he's excellent. And you know who else suprised me was Brian Billick. HATED that pompous ass as a coach, but he's a natural…

really don't know of anyone that has a negative opinion on Vin Scully. I'm just old enough to rememeber when he used to do a lot of national broadcasts, and not just for baseball. He did the CBS "Game of the Week," and a lot of NFL games - you've likely heard his "Clark caught it!" in the '81 NFC Championship…

Not that I'm overflowing with sympathy (Steeler fan here) but Browns fans have got to be bitter that somehow all NFL action before the mid 60s has somehow been relegated to "ancient history" status and not even worth discussion. Same with Bears fans and Lions fans. Those Paul Brown/Jim Brown/Otto Graham et al teams…

As an aside, I would like to call for a moratorium on all sexual spitting. Eww.

Nietszche, bietszches.

I've only seen the NFL Films highlights so I can't attest to the quality of the game, but to hear my old man talk about it, it was like the Toledo Mudhens somehow getting into the World Series and beating the Yankees. Any upset of that magnitude has got to be given consideration.

Oof, what an oversight to leave out SB 3. I am embarrassed and hereby recuse myself from all future sports listing.

Correct, Spinner - and I find this worrisome. I'm also put off a little by the animation style, at least from the snippets in the trailer. Seems a bit too "MAD Magazine," and also it seems to be animation-over-live-shots, which is gimmicky. I will give it every chance, though, obviously. Horwitz has earned it.

Love Alia. I think she gets forgotten amongst the titans of the AD cast, but her cynical deadpan was brilliant. And such an adorable little freckle-face. How'd she do in the play?

::synthesizer opening melody from Europes' "The Final Countdown"::

Biiiiitch, please. The authoritative list:
1. Giants/Pats
2. Bills/Giants
3. Titans/Rams
4. Rams/Pats
5. Steelers/Cardinals
6. Pats/Panthers
7&8. Tie - Niners/Bengals (first edition) and Niners/Bengals (second edition)
9. Broncos/Packers
10. Steelers/Cowboys (first edition)
10. Steelers/Cowboys #2

Hate it. The only reason you're even wondering is that this piece of one-note mediocrity exists in a context of embarrassingly unfunny SNL material. It will play here on AVC for a few more days because it speaks directly to the lob-snark-from-the-rafters ethic, then wear out its welcome.
