I started to wonder about the state of 538 when they let Nate Silver go honestly.

Apparently one of the announcers for the Vikings game is Matt Ryan. I think that's kinda funny given what happened the last time he was in Minnesota.

Layoffs? Don't talk about layoffs! First we need to win a game!

Also, it's wonderful to see nations rise from the dead just to take part in the league. This is the best part of NS for sure.

The season officially kicks off soon, but I forgot to post my predictions for the playoffs and Super Bowl. So, let's see how wrong I'll be:

AFC North: Ravens
AFC South: Jaguars
AFC West: Chiefs
AFC East: Bills

AFC Wild Cards: Bengals, Jets, Chargers

NFC North: Lions
NFC South: Saints
NFC West: 49ers
NFC East: Eagles

NFC Wild Cards: Seahawks, Cowboys, Vikings


49ers v. Chiefs

Chiefs will win.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

Same here, Kohr. Put me on the Lions and off KC.

I'd like to root for Detroit wholeheartedly tonight.

“Never believe that [fascists] are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The [fascists] have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
