Sure is. I doubt the current system will remain in place for next season.

Hilariously, Brady and Manning fought for that to be the case a few years ago. Home team used to supply all the game balls.

I don't fully understand what has occurred, but I now look like a crazy person above. Someone please explain edit-gate to me!

It does seem hilariously pointless, but I would also point out how the officials seem to go into replay reviews looking exclusively at absurd and unhelpful views with alarming frequency.

The Onion article about this a few days ago was so spot on, I'm not sure it even qualifies as satire.

Well, yeah, and I mean, he's committed penalties in games. That's technically cheating.

I had a pun for this, but I'm afraid it'll let all the air out of the room.

Not only would you need to lose to Houston with a 4th string QB, you'd need to lose to Manziel at home the following week AND get some unlikely help in order to miss the playoffs. CIN@PIT and BAL@IND will almost certainly be the AFC wild card weekend.

I seem to recall a Pats/Titans game a few years ago in like a foot of snow with a more lopsided score, but I am too lazy to look it up. 59-0, maybe?

Well, let's be clear here. Sometimes the actual officials are the ones screwing it up.

I assume the Christmas CD is to assure us of the timeliness of the image, akin to a newspaper being photographed with a hostage?

I resent the implication that I was ever being a tough guy.

Also, wait, you actually go through the past five season schedules and add those up by hand? We are blessed to have you, sir.

Hey, if I don't focus on pedantic corrections, I will instead have to focus on the fact that 6 of those wins are against the Bengals. The choice is clear!

The Bengals beat the Steelers once last year and once the year before that, and as they are a team named after a cat, the 10-1 stat cannot be correct.

Well, ok, but if it's the FBI, they've just gone on the record with a journalist confirming the worst of the information the source leaked.

Correct!

I resent the implication (or, more accurately, the blatant statement) that the CIN@NO game was anything but glorious.

I think all positions on our theoretical team would have equal possibility of scoring an NFL touchdown.
