I think this is right, but my petulant, contradictory side wants the Panthers to win the whole NFC just to mess with everything and everyone.

(And the Eagles probably aren't doing it, so might as well go hard for the ultimate underdog.)
DVOA loves the Seahawks. But the Rams and Niners beat them early in the year, and you can see the Eagles winning a caveman fight by a 12-10 final.

Seahawks are probably a "typical" top NFC seed. It's anybody's conference except the Panthers.
A fellow Seahawks fan told me in chat last night that they were an unusually weak #1 seed and...yes I get the vibe I am familiar with the misadventures of Sam Darnold but also they had a +190 point differential against a tough schedule and just made a Kyle Shanahan offense look like the 1991 Colts

Vic! Vic! Vic! Vic! Vic!
Working on my AP ballot and one thing I found interesting—8 of my top 10 choices for Assistant Coach of the Year are defensive playcallers.

Some of that is bc HCs skew offense, but also….just a great year for defense.

Clearly the only answer for me is 1984.
Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

I am watching what is set as the prequel to Dangerous Liaisons and it's quite enjoyable. Lucious costume and set design too.

Can we stop dubbing shows in other languages please? I'd rather have subtitles.

It is 9:22 am and I am still in bed. Good start for 2026!

Wicked: For Good body wash seems maybe a bridge or seven too far.

Pete Campbell is an asshole but he also got a lot of things right ahead of others.

I want to be as smart, collected, chic and awesome as Rachel Menken when I grow up.

It's probably a bad sign when Al is the more culturally literate dude on the broadcast. Hilarious but terrible. I'm available for next season.
Herbstriet has no idea Travis Kelce is going to get married to Taylor Swift this offseason and Al Michaels is begging him to talk about it. Worst duo in the business.

I do not enjoy Sean Payton, but go Broncos. I do like good defense, though, so there's that.

One would think those providing commentary for a football game might know the names of some of the key injured players for the teams.
December 25, 2025 at 10:00 PM
I regret to tell the commentator that injuries are not the *only* reason the Commanders are terrible, though they surely didn't help. The team was also old as heck and had plenty of holes.

It is hilarious that Washington's only Pro Bowler is the punter.

And now I am muting the Christmas jingle intro. Might put on some Chanukah Song instead.
December 25, 2025 at 6:01 PM
Why yes, I have muted the obligatory bullshit show of jingoism before football. Because it's entirely unnecessary, not to mention annoying.
December 25, 2025 at 6:00 PM
Rachel Menken forever.
December 24, 2025 at 10:08 PM
Pete Campbell: still an asshole
December 24, 2025 at 8:51 PM
Rachel gets Don figured out immediately and I love her even more for that. She's brilliant.

Septa and I have very different definitions of the word now.
