I have a friend here in Pittsburgh that is a huge Portland Trail Blazers fan (random, I know), and every year he takes a nearby road trip. I'm going with him in January down to Washington to see them play the Wizards (get excited!). I bring this up for a reason.

Edmonton entered tonight's game being outscored 32-12 during 5-on-5 play when neither McDavid or Draisaitl is on the ice.

Connor McDavid took no raise on his next contract to help the Oilers and they surrounded him with a steaming turd sandwich.

The entire CFP system is stupid but Miami lost to two plainly mid-ACC teams and has nobody to blame for that but itself. They wouldn't be in any playoff field that has ever been a part of college football.
The idea that the highest-ranked team in a Power 4 conference (Miami) can miss the ACC title game and the CFP is embarrassing for the sport.
Conference realignment messed up everything by making these leagues way too big.

The Saints are hosting a kicker tryout and former Pro Bowler Justin Tucker is among those invited, per me and Mike Garafolo
This is his first workout since being suspended 10 games by the NFL for violating the personal conduct policy.

The week ahead: This seems like another pivotal week for the Pittsburgh Penguins season. They need some points. The opportunities will be there again. www.pensburgh.com/analysis/694...

Pittsburgh Penguins head coach Dan Muse knows his team needs points right now. This is another important week for that.

Rams are the best team in the NFC. Probably best team in the NFL.

Conan O'Brien never wrote a Simpsons script as good as the script writers are writing for this game. Just absolutely compelling television.
The Eagles are still going to win in the dumbest way possible.

I love Chicago and I have got zero beef with the Bears. I will happily cheer for them in the NFC. But man was that a winnable game.

The Colts lead in the South is shrinking rapidly and they not only have four games remaining against the Texans and Jaguars, they also have to play Seattle and San Francisco.

I still think the Ravens have a few losses in them. Perhaps even one to the Steelers. They've looked like ass for three weeks against ass teams. When the Steelers win that way they get buried for it. The Ravens get celebrated for it. I will never understand this. Same team.

Arthur Smith's family are billionaires. He could literally be sitting on an island somewhere drinking beers every day of his life not giving a fuck about anything. Instead he chooses to torment football fans just for the fun of it.

I said the Steelers would either lose a close frustrating game or win in a blowout.
Even more frustrating than I could have ever imagined. Clown shoes offense and overrated defense.

14 points on offense against one of the NFL's worst defenses that is missing like five starters.
