There's a cynical part of the that thinks the literal railroad is a bit of "wizard did it" hand-waving, as it's an easier way to move characters from place to place.

The Seahawks always drop one winnable game to the Rams, no matter how good they are. I wouldn't take it as an indictment of their chances at winning the conference.

I missed it, and if it's horrifying then I probably shouldn't look it up. What happened?

Oops. Shouldn't he be named after Mark Sanchez then?

I'm just annoyed Jerry dumb-lucked his way into two rookie studs. This is a man who had to be physically restrained from drafting Johnny Manziel a few years ago. They'd be a great story on almost any other team.

Rematch in February?

That game helped exorcise some demons for Seahawks fans, but the best part about it is the budding bromance between Gronk and Earl Thomas:

I'm sure many of you fellow nerds already know that George RR Martin is a huge Giants fan, and named the Wildling giant Wun Wun in honor of Phil Sims (who wore number 11). That always struck me as silly and unrealistic though; Wun Wun is far too articulate to be compared to Sims.

You guys have seen Bronson, right?

They were also the Cleveland Spiders. Might be a little too spooky scary for today's audience though!

Weirdly enough, it wasn't on the NBC affiliate in my market, but it was on NFL Network even though it was Michaels and Collinsworth. So stupid.

I'm not a fan of singular team names, but that might work if they completely distance themselves from any Native American iconography.

The Bills currently have the longest playoff drought in pro sports (since 1999). Plus the whole losing 4 Super Bowls in a row thing.

Thursday Night Football is so confusing. It has no brand identity (except for extra-hideous uniforms) like other Nights Football, which is part of what makes it so underwhelming.

The last Seahawks game I went to (before tickets got prohibitively expensive) I sat next to a Vikings fan. There was a lot of good-natured smack talk, but he was super friendly in general and shook my hand with a "good game" after his team lost.

Sorry, not happening until you change your team name/logo. Plus you get LeBron, so come on!

I went to the parade when my local football concern won the Super Bowl, and it was absolutely awesome. Do it!

Yes! That scene was so claustrophobic and stressful. A whole movie of that would have been great.

I dunno, I'm pretty worried about our shambles of an offensive line and their ability to keep Wilson healthy.

But if you could get WR points out of your kicker slot, you'd be unstoppable!
