Just finished watching "John Candy: I Like Me." I've been meaning to watch it and when I found out Catherine O'Hara delivered a beautiful eulogy at his memorial, I figured what more fitting way to honor both their memories. We should all aspire to be so kind.

Another dumb timeout by Denver. Pretty much means it is do or die on this drive for the Broncos.

Good point by Romo. Patriots wearing white could blend into the snow. Maybe Stidham throws an INT here not noticing a defender through the falling snow. #StealthMode

Borregales didn't play the crosswind at all. He started the kick right down the middle.

Diggs turning around when the camera was on him during the National Anthem was a protest. Good for him.

One side is from the 1980's movie "Blues Brothers."
The other side is real life ICE agents in Minneapolis in 2026.
Can you tell which is which?

What a throw by Caleb Williams fading back 20 yards and throwing the ball 50 yards while falling backwards. No idea what the Rams defender was doing.

Patriots playing a little too aggressive on defense. Lay back. All of Houston's weapons are out. They'll never get open.

If Purdy gets hurt and somehow, miraculously, SF wins, Stafford gets hurt but Rams win, and the Patriots win... it would be Mac Jones, Jimmy Garoppolo, Jarrett Stidham, and Drake Maye as the starting quarterbacks next week in the AFC and NFC Championship games.
