Holy crap, can you imagine if Green Bay actually had to release Aaron Rodgers because of this? It’ll never happen, but LOL. I was so busy with work and trying to finish my Christmas shopping that I didn’t even catch that they’d put him on IR.

Week 16. Great, we in Denver will have to watch the Broncos play the Redskins instead of the Bills-Pats game we’d all probably rather watch. I’d love to see the Bills blindside the Pats at home today. Oh, well. At least we’ll get to see an almost realistic imitation of a QB with Brock starting instead of the pirate. Maybe they’ll actually win. I couldn’t care any less about their draft positioning because I don’t trust that Elway will make the right pick anyway, so I’d rather see them win. On FOX, we get Falcons-Saints early, followed by Seahawks at Cowboys. No Sunday Night game this week because of the game last night and the doubleheader on Christmas day, which is the Steelers at the Texans and the Raiders at the Eagles.

The rest: Bucs at Panthers, Browns at Bears (if no one watches this game, does it actually happen?), Lions at Bengals (GO LIONS), Dolphins at Chiefs, Chargers at Jets, Rams at Titans, Jags at Niners, and Giants at Cards.

So, anyone actually watching football today, or are you busy trying to get everything ready for Christmas day?

I’m going to watch the Broncos do... whatever it is they’re doing this season .

Otherwise I’m just trying to figure out how to get my new purchase home from Golden to Thornton, on these snow-shitty roads, when it’s currently wearing summer tires.

Well, since it would make more sense for them to lose and have a better draft pick, they’ll probably win.

Seems like the roads aren’t as crappy as the other day. What did you buy?

I’m trying to be optimistic about us playing Dallas but after last week I just don’t think we have any gas left in the tank.

I’ll be watching the Pats as I clean, hoping they get up big early so they can pull Gronk before he gets capped.

Also, I’ll be keeping an eye on the Browns game. This is their last reasonable chance.

That’s what I’m thinking too. They blew playoff hopes now they’re blowing draft picks

What did I buy? Reveal coming later

I’m watching the Browns Bears because that’s the ONLY GAME ON TV IN CHICAGO. Fuck the NFL.

Oh and I’m rooting for the Browns because losing to an 0-14 team ought to seal Fox and Pace’s fates, if that’s not already done. Plus draft order. Burn it all down.

Oh and Merry Christmas!

Yeah, at least we have the Falcons-Saints game to switch away to every time Brock turns the ball over.

I guess that’s a marginally better game than Denver or Chicago.

Would be hilarious if Green Bay had to release Rodgers, but it will never happen because the NFL is nothing if not inconsistent in how they apply the rules. They take care of some teams, while they screw others. I think any other NFC North team would probably have to give him up.

If it was the Lions, the NFL would make them fold.
