    Matt Stafford doing his thing. I'm starting to wonder if the Lions will even get to 8 wins.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canceled_NFL_games#Effects_due_to_severe_weather_and_natural_disasters Its a pretty short list, and it doesn't look like any game which has started on one date has ever been moved to another date. The contingency would probably be Tuesday if something resulted in Soldier Field being unplayable.

    It will be CBS, which has weather coverage, ATM.

    I walked by Tom Ricketts today on Wacker, but I avoided eye contact so he wouldn't ask for spare change. #poortomticketts

    The Saints play the 49ers once, the Panthers twice and the Seahawks on the road, so they are definitely a factor in the WC, despite how unbeatable they can look. It looks like the Bears will need an 11-5 or 10-6 if the two losses are to BAL and CLE. A win this week gives a little bit of a margin of error, but the best hope may be a slide by SF, CAR and/or DET back to 9-7. Right but the Saints are currently 3 games up on the Bears with the H2H tiebreaker, it would be a total collapse for them to fall behind the Bears at this point, and short of an injury to Brees, the Saints are simply too talented for that to happen. I was thinking of it mostly as a hedge to San Fran and Carolina finishing really strongly and knocking off NO in those games. It basically prevents a scenario of an 11-5 team missing the playoffs on tiebreakers. In all other respects, NO dropping into the WC pool by losing to Carolina is a pretty bad outcome due to the H2H.

    I get the feeling its a lot of that 'you've got to tear it down before you can build it up' fallacy that sometimes comes up with the Cubs. That obviously doesn't make too much sense in the aforementioned fluid situation of the NFL. At this point, the search for impact talent should be for the defense, but a quarterback in the early rounds shouldn't be excluded. Part of the reason you give Jay the extension is to have a few years to make the right pick at QB., avoiding having to address a need on draft day.

    So, what's with Detroit not using TO's here?

    The returns on a dollar spent for a WPA style program are much higher than a dollar spent on mass incarceration, so we could just fund a jobs program while the civilian employment % is low.

    Would the Bulls even be in the playoffs if the season ended today?

    That seems like MLB slowly forcing its way out of the posting system. If the rumors around Darvish are true, that could've cost his Japanese team ~40M if he wanted to negotiate with a team other than the Rangers, and you'd almost have to assume the player would choose the non-winning bid in all these situations seeing how Darvish and Matsuzaka got less than market value due to the posting fee being (somewhat) figured into the contract value while none of that money was going to the player. Definitely hard to see Tanaka picking the Cubs, if he has a chance to sign with LA, New York or Boston. I'd add Seattle to that, Texas possibly too. So, the prospective teams cannot speak with the representatives of the player until he decides? I imagine this is going to lead to teams using back channel communications and leaks from anonymous sources about how much a certain team is willing to spend. It will be interesting to see the dynamic of the posting process and if it will necessitate further changes.

    I recall earlier this year people were having the revisited Manning v Brady debate in light of the early season events. The argument for Brady went something like 'well, look at who he's got at WR!, Manning has all of these great WR's -- Decker, Demaryius, Welker, but Brady is doing it with nobodies'. I think it was forgotten that Brady has yet to produce with the current group. The last time he had this weak of a supporting cast was probably 2006, and he didn't set the world on fire, despite team success.

    Night off for the punters.

    And we have a shootout.

    Heck yeah! Love Brandon in the slot.

    They have to get Shea out of there regardless of their situation, they're running at him on every play, he's killing them right now. And play whom? ...someone?? I'm not watching but I assume Wootton is predominantly in the middle meaning the only available DEs are Peppers, McClellin and Bass. We're approaching the 3-4 by necessity zone

    In the first half and not due to disorganization. Who cares.

    It's nice that Brandon Jacobs looks to initiate contact whenever he's in the open field.

    I've done a few unscientific macro brew taste tests with friends of mine. Labatt consistently is the top beer hands-down and PBR and Budweiser typically follow 2-3.
