NFL Week 14 Power Rankings
I wonder if Mercury Morris is getting nervous; the Packers are continuing their march towards perfection after surviving their toughest test yet.
As the Packers continue to win, the Lions continue to lose. Looks like the kittens weren’t quite ready to grow up just yet.
Speaking of losing, the Giants have lost 4 straight games and still control their own playoff destiny. Yes, it has been a strange year.

IT’S TEBOW TIME
Tuesday, December 6th
Packers (Kumar) at Broncos (Mike) – Yes, you read that correctly. As as you would imagine, Mike dropped to a knee and “Tebowed” after his opening drive 80-yard TD strike to Erik Decker. After that, we actually had a good football game. The Pack had a 1-point halftime lead, and key interceptions in the redzone by Brian Dawkins and some dude named Moore helped give Tebow chances at a miracle. Unfortunately, a 3rd quarter safety and a costly pick were the deciding factors for “Team Jesus”. The cameras caught Tebow praying post-game, but Aaron Rogers was spotted in the background, as he often is, photo-bombing.

Week 12 has come and gone, and we’re all still wondering if anyone can beat the Packers.
The thanksgiving matchup in Detroit figured to be their toughest test, but the Pack turned it into a joke. Looks like the only team who may be able to keep up with them is the Saints.
Pity we’ll have to wait to the playoffs to see that rematch.

Post-Thanksgiving Madden Game:
Friday, November 25th
Buccaneers (Sal) vs. Giants (Rob) – Well, Sal’s first try at Madden 12 went about as well as Rob’s. A 21-0 Giants win was sparked by long, time-consuming drives and an accurate and efficient Eli Manning. No stats were worth mentioning because this was a pretty boring game (only 325 total yards between both teams.) I guess that’s what you get when two shitty teams play.
Lions (Rob) vs. Texans (Sal) – Just as ugly as the first. Apparently accelerated clock was on, which explains the limited offensive numbers. Rob’s Lions won 14-13 because that greedy, greasy, guido Sal tried to go for 2 with :42 left. Well, at least it was close…
Saturday, November 26th
Falcons (Rob) vs. Cowboys (Kumar) – It was a pretty tight game. It was a boring game. First half TDs included a lucky toss to some nig named Ogletree and a bomb to Julio Jones at the end of the half. Second half highlights included a safety for Kumar and absolutely nothing for Rob. Cowboys win 23-14.
Panthers (Kumar) vs. Browns (Rob) – This game was going to suck. At least that’s what we thought going into it. And it did, unless you were Steve Smith. 9 catches for 326 yards and 4 TDs. Final score – Panthers 42, Browns 17.
The Chronicles of Madden: 11/23 Update
MADDEN 12 IS HERE!
Wednesday, November 23
Eagles (Kumar) vs. Giants (Rob) – Madden 12 is here! And it sucks! Changed the camera angles. Changed the plays. Changed the feel. Some for the better. Most for the worse. Unless you’re Kumar, who’s Eagles beat the Giants 20-7. 5 turnovers by Eli obliterated any hope for Rob, as team nig LeSean and DeSean supplied both Eagles TDs. This will take some getting used to.
**Just realized that the INCEPTION theme is playing during the intro video. This game just went from a 4 to a 9!!!
NFL Week 12 Power Rankings
Thanksgiving can mean lots of things to lots of different people.
However, the three F’s tend to be a common trend cross the country
Family.
Food.
FOOTBALL!!!
And for the first time since the Nixon administration, the Lions are playing a meaningful game on Turkey Day. And we certainly can’t forget about Harbageddon in Baltimore on Thursday night!
The WWE’s Twitter Obession is Becoming Unbearable
A few months ago, I wrote an article focusing on the impact of Social Media in Professional Wrestling, and lo and behold the “Reality Era” came to pass.
CM Punk and, to a lesser extent, Zack Ryder’s ushering in of this new era created a buzz and excitement not experienced in the WWE in a long time.
Over the course of the last few weeks, the WWE, as it so often does, has almost entirely deflated the buzz from this past summer. In case you’ve been out of the loop, Raw has become a de facto plug-in for Twitter.
The Chronicles of Madden: 11/18 Update
Friday, November 18
Eagles (Sal) vs. Giants (Rob) – Complete. Domination. Rob’s Giants outplayed and outclasses the hapless Iggles. The two headed tandem of Brandon Jacobs and Ahamr Bradshaw combined for 261 yards and 4 TDs, while Eli Manning avoided the costly interceptions (despite Sal’s begging and pleading) on his way to a 125.3 quarterback rating. Mike Vick struggled, tossing 4 picks, and the G-Men ran away with it 48-14. Rob leads the series 3-1.
Jaguars (Rob) vs. Panthers (Sal) – Similar to their last matchup, Sal could not stop Rob’s ground game, nor could he figure out how to play offense. The Panthers were held to 207 total yards, while MJD put up 180 total yards all by himself and tossed in three touchdowns for the Jags. Time of possession: Jaguars- 14:23, Panthers- 5:37. Score: Panthers 14, Jaguars 40. Rob leads 4-1.

When John Skelton beats you in your own building, it may be time to rethink this whole “Dream Team” concept, no?
While the dream may be dead in Philly, the dream of an undefeated season is alive and well in Green Bay, and the dream of drafting Andrew Luck may become a quick reality in Indy.
