In other news, my chips-and-dip consumption is WAY down
Readers may remember that toward the end of the 2008 NFL season, I decided that watching the Buffalo Bills consistently lose games and look boring in doing so had lost its appeal to a sufficient degree that I decided to … Continue reading
Punt, pass, uh…what’s the other thing?

It’s just about time for the NFL to kick off its 2009 season, so it’s time for me to do a little football blogging. My plan this year is to put up this “predictions” post, and then I’ll weigh in … Continue reading
“Obviously, we’d prefer for the stadium to not be consumed in a giant fireball….”
