The Blues are the anti-Wild. Start off awful, suddenly get red hot, and steal a road win in round 1 from the Jets. At least they both fired Yeo midseason.

It is sort of a pessimists club, isn’t it?

Especially when you consider the “Brand” is Prosperity Gospel. If you a rich, it’s because you are an inherently good person! God has blessed you. If you are poor or disabled, it’s because you are a bad person, and God has punished you. Therefore, both rich and poor are getting what they duly deserve.

I don’t blame you, Duluth has charm. It’s got a good sized “hipster” population now. Say what you will about their fashion, but they do bring in interesting breweries and restaurants.

Also famous for the world-renowned scent of the paper mill. It smells like Sex Panther.

He’s back! He’s back. It’s the Drew post!

I’m surprised anyone outside of a 10 mile radius of the town knows of Cloquet. Imagine my shock at seeing it name dropped in the Deadspin comments.

I’m honestly surprised anyone outside of a 10 mile radius of the town itself has heard of Cloquet. Unless you are within that 10 mile radius. 

Here’s a thought: Rather than doing an entire game of half-assed tackle football, why don’t they make it a big game of flag football? Low likelihood of injury and it encourages stupid plays like this. The best parts of the Pro Bowl are the plays where you can tell it’s a bunch of guys having fun playing school-yard…

“Hot take: Fuck the Saints, and Sean Peyton. I’m glad they got screwed and look forward to all future screwings. Drew Brees seems nice though.”

I once took myself on a movie date. It was a Tuesday night and there was a special at my favorite burger place. Had 3 beers and a delicious burger (and as a man, no one but the bartender even acknowledged my existence which is well and good and I pity the ladies who have to suffer strangers), had another 2 beers in…

You’re not crazy. There’s a difference between a healthy respect for men and women who volunteer to serve and... whatever it is the NFL does. The sort of mindless military circle jerking is mostly just mental masturbation for “patriotic” Americans who don’t ever question the righteousness of the TROOPS; and I would…

How outlandish would it be to suspect that Gruden is actually trying to get fired so he can collect his millions of dollars while sitting on a beach, reliving his Corona commercials and talking about the bartender blending his margarita is a real “GRUDEN GRINDER”

Is this the shaman making voodoo sacrifices for Drew’s health?

Has anyone confirmed the Deadspin awards happened? Maybe something occurred before the awards. Given how they promoted them leading up, I would have thought we’d have at least seen some winners. Maybe it was canceled due to whatever happened to Drew?

Thanksgiving is a day of no pretense. No gifts, no dressing up (in fact, I’d encourage sweatpants, for obvious waist-band related reasons) and no pressure to make it some magical, memorable event. Just eat, sleep and be fat and happy.
