The Ravens are 6-7. The Chiefs are about to be 6-7. Did anyone predict this?

NFL quarterbacks need to be more aware of where the first down line is when scrambling. It seems that they’re almost always one yard short.

If it’s death or watching Dolphins-Jets, I choose death.

To be honest, the Lions have been sucking.

Jordan Love is always missing open receivers in stride. I am not thankful for that.

CLAMM and Die Spitz have the best rock and roll albums of 2025. Their guitars are ridiculous. Their conviction could start a revolution. Their recorded sound is massive. Their anthems live forever.

OK. So. JSN of the Seahawks already has the franchise record for receiving yards in a season. It’s Week 12.

MVP status?

Don’t scroll too much, but when I do it’s a mess. What is all this shit?

If the Chiefs drop to 5-5, they’re toast.

Go ahead, try to hack me. I will get the last laugh.

Four field goals in Madrid. Dolphins and Commanders living up to the hype.

Danny Brown threw a serious curveball and I don’t have anything to say at the moment but I will try to get further comment once I figure out what the fuck is going on.

Lamar Jackson is an elite #MVP because the #Ravens suck without him.

Tinashe on the National Anthem.
