This probably sounds dumb, but after living in NY my entire life I think that on some psychological level I would miss the gloom

Interesting stat, for sure. Also interesting that the top of that list doesn't exactly read like a who's who of top NFL QBS, although a bunch are also up high on it.

Dorsey will be busy until mid-February. Maybe schedule a nice Valentine's Day dinner together, but until then our guy is game planning.

The more I think of it, the more I think Rodgers demanding such an insanely expensive contract was simply a power move. He's wanted out for a couple years but Green Bay is in this weird spot where they don't want to build around him and win but they don't want him going somewhere else either. It puts him in this position: let me go or pay me $50 million next year but I'm not retiring. IMO the Green Bay thing became deeply personal, and everyone dug in. MGT wanted Rodgers to retire and Rodgers wanted out. MGT refused because then they would go 3-14 while Rodgers played at an MVP level somewhere else. So, force the guy to retire instead was the strategy.

I was watching that thinking "is there a football field in there somewhere?" It's like a shopping mall and an airport had a baby

It will be interesting to see which itch the refs scratch: their beloved Tommy or Dak and the boys

Lefleur should be fired. Between the Packers player walking in between the lines of scrimmage during the FG attempt and grabbing the ball from the center, and later another couple of players shoving Lions training staff it's like they were all on something. Totally out of control team that wasted some of the best seasons of Rodgers career

49ers over Seahawks: 49ers are the real deal Jaguars over Chargers: Trevor has really surprised me, and Peterson has ice water in his veins while Staley will do something to lose the game because of his Excel spreadsheets and contrarian attitude Bills over Dolphins: Bills are by far the better team Vikings over Giants: This is a tough one... Kirk Cousins is Kirk Cousins, which is bad for Kirk Cousins in the playoffs, but still. SKOL! Bengals over Ravens: Ravens are scrappy but Bengals are lethal. Burrow is the real freaking deal. Bucs over Cowboys: 1000%, lock solid, guarantee. Brady exists to torment souls and ruin Super Bowls, so he isn't going out to Dallas. In fact, this is all set up for the "their season was over, they were done, but THEN! Brady Magic!" garbage. Plus Dak looks like the housewives concussed him: laying there loopy, flipping tables... it's a joke in big D. Sean Payton is probably already shopping for houses in Dallas.

Skip is a heel without any charm at all. Not many can pull that off for very long because it has to be exhausting.

Staley is holding back a top roster with his overly-cute "I do the opposite of everyone else" decisions. Some coaches can find a way to get a team with 8 wins worth of talent to 10 or 11. Staley is the opposite... he'll get your 12-14 win roster to 10-11 wins. And then he's supposed to get credit for "getting them to the playoffs"

Let's just move on from this scheduling stuff. It is what it is. No asterisks, no whining. Line up, play, and the winning teams move to the next round and therefore deserve to advance. Whoever gets to and wins the Super Bowl deserves it and will have earned it. Execute a simple snap vs Minnesota or don't lose to Zach freaking Wilson and we're the #1 regardless of everything else. Bengals have the same type of what-ifs I'm sure. It's that simple.

Wait... There are different Red Zone channels?

Texans might finally get to hire Josh McCown

Dammit... We need the big man healthy

I prefer night games but there's never a bad time to watch a Bills W!

I imagine Lamar is also going to play

That whole thing was so bizarre. The Packers have been trying to have it both ways for years. Drafting Love was plain dumb

Sadly it's a West Coast game because it has 1:00 written all over it Schedule incoming! Except for 1 guy...

How come Brady is the one guy who can play forever...

Oh they will.

I have no idea how Lefleur is considered Safe. Lions freaking earned it tonight, so kudos to them. Rodgers is done

Lions have ice water in their veins

Green Bay and Dallas are kindred spirits

Texans fire Lovie Smith

Likely IMO Packers seem determined not to let him go but also not to try to win. As soon as he's gone they'll be a perennial 5 win team
