It always amazes me how the sports media decides what to cover from one week to the next. With one week left in the regular season, the big stories seem to be Marshawn Lynch not talking to the media, the 5-9 Bears’ quarterback carousel, and Jim Harbaugh’s birthday cards.
In their defense, I have a small penis, and I don’t do a much better job.
In the NFC; Seattle, Green Bay, Detroit, Dallas, and Arizona have punched their tickets to the post season, while Carolina and Atlanta will duke it out for the final spot. In an interesting twist, if New Orleans were to win, and Atlanta and Carolina tied, a 6-8-2 team would make it into the playoffs over a 7-9 team. Ties are better than wins. Who knew?
The AFC is a little more interesting, in that there are three teams still in the hunt for the final playoff spot. I don’t see Baltimore and San Diego losing, but that, combined with a Houston win, could put the Texans in the playoffs. New England, Denver, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and Pittsburgh have all earned another game.
Week 17 should still hold plenty of drama, as teams fight for seeding, home field advantage, and a week one bye.
This Day in History
On this day in 1932, the US Department of Interior built the Rocky Mountains, and set the state of Colorado on the path towards the legalization of marijuana.
December 23, 1989 the last confederate holdouts surrendered to Chelsea Clinton.
Finally, on this day in 2009, Prilly Nelson was awarded a patent for the “Jizz Invigorator”, allowing previously sterile men the ability to impregnate pygmy goats.
Who’s Hot
The Dallas fricken’ Cowboys! Who woulda thunk it?
Who’s Not
The New Orleans Saints. This almost seems too obvious to type.
You Said It
Cheeky Bastard – Scale of 1 to 10, how drunk is MIB when he writes these?
JJ – I’d have to say it’s a sliding scale. I start out sober as a judge, but by the time I hit the “Publish” button, I may as well be drunk texting my mother-in-law.
Natesweet – Haha. No. I did do a shadow penis puppet show back when I was 20ish though.
JJ – I think it just moved a little.
Big Deal – If you put 1 million monkeys with 1 million typewriters in a room for 1 million years, not a one of them would come up with drivel as ridiculous as the FYS Power Rankings.
It’s Time To Rank ‘em and Spank ‘em

| 2 (3) | Seattle Seahawks | 11-4 | Marshawn Lynch gives churlish interviews. |
| 3 (8) | Dallas Cowboys | 11-4 | You need to lose. I don't think I can handle a smug Jerry Jones, Howdy Doody, and the rest of your insane clown posy for another month. |
