Being colorblind might have made last night's game a bit more interesting to watch. I wasn't too invested in the outcome of Regular Starbucks vs. NOT Christmas Starbucks. The bigger color offense to me is the TNF graphics package that keeps desaturating elements of the score bar on every play.

Not gonna happen. He'll give up one of those safeties all on his own somehow.

It's like someone working for the Jets got drunk watching an Oregon Ducks game and thought to themselves "pshaw, I can do better than that."

He even left out the $25,000 spin to close it out.

I have the beginnings of a theory that I haven't put any significant time or energy into validating, but I strongly suspect there's a correlation between a QB's beard and their awfulness. There is an inflection point where it no longer matters and may even signify greatness (see Brady, Tom), but beyond that, the…

The guys that make up the Patriots passing game is the league's dreamiest group and there isn't even a close second.

Teams playing the Pats are walking into a buzzsaw this year, but what's really remarkable is that it doesn't seem like the Pats are even trying.

So during my visit with Pop Fingerbottom, I learned he was not actually in the tree that took him out, but trying to cut it down when it gave way and a large branch konked him on the noggin. That was my understanding, at least…there were still a lot of drugs involved. He was sent home from the hospital a few days…

My wife is the same way. She's also hilariously arachnophobic. Her reactions to the tarantula that opened the challenge made it all doubly entertaining.

You had me at Gross Food Challenge.

Fellow B&Ters, I wish you all a fine weekend. I, unfortunately, am about to hop in a car for a 400-mile trip up north to visit Pop Fingerbottom in the hospital, who, for reasons currently unknown, was in a tree the other day immediately before taking a trip to the ground. At least one Bay Area denizen had a rougher…

I'm with 'ya. I was resigned to losing the Giants game before it even started; I only got frustrated after they played well enough to win but couldn't close out the game. It was a flashback to the mid and late 2000s during the Nolan/Singletary glory years. There are a lot of people out there — myself included — who…

I know barely more than nothing about soccer, but seems to me like they could probably solve the flopping problem by requiring that player to sit out the game for X minutes if they're "injured" badly enough to warrant stopping the game. (Though I suppose decades of rule fixes of that sort are why the NFL's rulebook…

I almost hope they lose, for no other reason than the thought of Jed York masturbating furiously after beating a Harbaugh makes me ill.

Perhaps no one in the NFL hasn't gotten a greater return on his branding than Esiason. You know who would be working at Office Depot instead of CBS? Norman Esiason.

3 Cowboys in a car; who's driving? The police!

The return of the kissing fish makes up for everything. Welcome back Teti.

I have nothing bad to say about Jason Bourne.

I may be a horrible person, but the slapstick moments in the immunity challenge — Spencer Wilhelm screaming through most if it in particular — was my favorite part of the episode.

I've gone all the way around the block and back again with Abi. She was entertaining enough for the beginning of her first season, though the act wore thin quickly; now I can't help but be amused if not a little impressed. She's like the Jason Bourne of shit disturbing. I'm not even sure she knows what or how she…
