Well, his teammates, taken as a group, deserve it. This is a team that was playing a depth WR as a running back due to lack of options. The Packers are not a good team without Rodgers.

That's one of those factoids which sort of explains itself. Most quarterbacks good enough to start as a rookie were high 1st round draft picks, and teams with high 1st round draft picks are usually awful teams. The Cowboys lucked into Dak late in the draft, and an already pretty well-stocked roster.

Aaron Rodgers is the single most terrifying player in the NFL right now. You could put him on the Browns and they would be instant Super Bowl contenders. If anyone can single handedly beat the Cowboys this weekend, it's him.

Now I'm sad it's not Heroes for Hire.

Speaking of his touring schedule, Al is legitimately one of the best live acts I have ever seen. He's like the nerd Bruce Springsteen, he brings his A-game every night.

I'm not a Billy Joel superfan, but I do enjoy his catalog. He makes well-crafted middlebrow pop tunes, and is a solid pro. He puts on a good show, and always brings good effort. I don't understand the hatred he engenders in hip circles. He's pretty good. My five:

I'm a shamefully picky eater, but I work hard not to be. Many vegetables literally set off my gag reflex, but they are good for me and I have two kids that need to learn to eat their veggies. So I gag them down. It's literally my least favorite thing about parenting.

See, and I view it as hopeful. They'll fill the gap with other weird, marginally read titles. Just avoid the major events and crossovers.

I disagree that Marvel is in the ditch, it's just that their event comics are in the ditch. The events are terrible, and Civil War II is the worst of 'em. But there's lots of great Marvel books that are enjoyable without bothering with the overarching event storylines: Squirrel Girl, Howard the Duck, Silver Surfer,…

ARE YOU WITH ME?!

I tend to use the Howe-Strauss generation dates because, well, it's their theory of history. They literally wrote the book on it. They place 1961-64 in Gen X mainly because those people tend not to self-identify as Boomers. Gen X, by their research, is 1961-80. We're the new Silent Generation, doomed to be…

Any discussion about generations is bound to be reductive by necessity. So we always need to keep that in mind when talking about this stuff.

Yes. Literally all of them.

Surprised at how high the Cowboys are. It's just that they've never bottomed out and become terrible. Going 8-8 every year with the occasional good year gives them a great overall record.

But if Space God's time is infinite, he's not really wasting it by meddling in sporting events. It is infinite, after all.

I'm a dedicated trade waiter, which means I feel left out of the discussion a lot of the times as I'm a few months behind the rest of the world. But arcs tend to read better in larger sets than reading an issue and waiting a month. You can remember details a lot better.

I hate the Pats for the obvious reason (they are good and not my team). But it would take a minor miracle for them to not make the Super Bowl. I guess maybe the Chiefs have a shot if you believe Alex Smith can win a road playoff game, which I don't. The Steelers just seem of this year, and the other three teams stink…

The McGloin injury felt especially unfair. the Raiders have walked aimlessly in the wilderness for a decade, finally get a good possibly great team, and then they lose their starting QB and his backup. That's seriously bad karmic retribution. I'm not even a Raiders fan and I feel bad.

I used to follow her on twitter but stopped for mainly this reason. She can't help herself but to get involved in every twitter fight out there, and it ends up with her swinging at pitches in the dirt and getting angry at everyone. It's just her personality, and I like that she has a fighter's heart and all… but that…

Spencer Hall is reason enough to follow college football. He's great.
