Rumor is Urban Meyer going to be the next coach of the Jaguars. I give it two years and two lackluster seasons before he resigns citing health reasons.

I was hoping I wouldn't sound like a bitch if I totally said "yes, hire Urban...see how one bad time and OH MY HEART CONDITION".

With every unsuccessful 3rd down conversation attempt his condition worsens.

I would certainly watch a Twitch stream full of ridiculous hot takes in conjunction with Red Zone.

My OSU alum husband thinks Jim Harbaugh should have a lifetime job at Michigan. I would have thought since we have a child attending that university, his opinion would change. lol No.

I'm surprised at the lack of ire directed at the SEC though. They have the worst bootlickers, historically cough Paul Finebaum cough in addition to preferential treatment from officials, especially the bottomless Mimosa brunch CFP selection committee.

Oh don't worry the SEC is such a darling too, but OSU gets so much more fucking credit than they ever deserve. And of course since they get favored they get the most money and all that.

My mom is a Michigan fan and she keeps begging them to get rid of Harbaugh. I don't think either one are real worth a damn coaches. XD

what. the. fuck. this is a terrible decision.

So. God. Damn. True.

My teeth were clinched so tight during that onside kick. Seriously, that would've been the most Cleveland Browns shit ever if they had of lost it.

*sigh of relief*

Your Brownies did it [MENTION=13112]Stigmata[/MENTION]. Held my breath during that game.

I've been an undercover brownies lover since the 1-15 season.

As the Browns players celebrate around the campfire with the ewoks, they'll greeted by the shadowy holographic spirits of Jim Brown, Tim Couch, and Bernie Kosar.

Why do I get the peculiar feeling they can upset or keep it close against the Steelers again in the playoffs?

(Also, I'm LOLing at the Steelers going from presumed 1st-round bye to a 3-seed in a matter of weeks.)

It can go either way, honestly. I think Pittsburgh got exposed down the stretch, and if Cleveland can keep their current momentum going and not be the Cleveland Browns when it counts in the postseason, I could see that happening. That would be huge, though. Pittsburgh has been the older brother stealing Cleveland's figurative lunch money for decades now.

The AFC playoffs is going to be nuts: all the teams are all kinda hovering around the same point of skill, and any of those teams can seemingly beat the others on any given day (except the Dolphins). I can still feel some Buffalo upset of the Chiefs on the horizon. Jazzy thinks I'm not but Buffalo is seriously legit.

The NFC just doesn't have any team I can realistically see beating Kansas City. I don't think Green Bay is for real, but have benefitted of San Francisco imploding with injuries. Buccaneers can be had by any team that adjusts to their offense because they themselves don't make adjustments. Saints seem to have lost steam down the stretch. I dunno. No team in the NFC stands out to me. Maybe the Rams beat Arizona today and catch fire in the playoffs?

You sound like these nuts on Twitter during the Dallas game:

"Ben Roethlisberger limping to locker room with just over a minute left before halftime."

"Damn couldn’t take losing so he faked an injury. What a chump"

Ben leads Steelers comeback to beat Cowboys 24-19



Apparently you don't keep tabs on player injuries. You need healthy players. In addition to the QB.

LOL, you're taking it too serious. I said the Steelers, not just Ben. I know he's a shell of himself; everyone's known that for years. While I personally dislike him (for non-football reasons), I'm more LOLing because of how hard the narrative's changed, and that's because the Steelers (particularly the offense) got too comfortable these last two weeks, and not just because of injuries.

Fwiw, the Cowboys are my least favorite team, so I didn't mind that comeback.

LOL, you're taking it too serious.

Actually, you are. No one even expected the Steelers to win today. Or did you not get the memo about Tomlin keeping Ben out?
