Crazy to think the Chiefs lost one of their two best defensive players in week one, their third or fourth best to freaking cancer after 12 games, haven't thrown a touchdown pass to a wide receiver ... and are in the playoffs with two wins.

That was... interesting. It was vicious, but from the angle I saw I have no idea how it wasn't clean.

Stunning that ownership of a brewery is clouding judgment of a beer. Stunning.

I will know in 3-4 weeks if I made it on to the next round or whatever. It was a lot tamer than what I was expecting.

I went Buxton, so I'm interested to see how that shakes out.

I just checked their list and I'm surprised I got it right. I simply picked the first poet that came to mind.

Guess who went No. 1? And predictably, the bros ain't happy. Thanks. Recommended for the sort of whiny quotes from the artist push back against the "bro country" label. “All I’m gonna say about that is, I don’t know one girl who doesn’t want to be a girl in a country song,” Kelley said. “...

Friday was Eric Church... and holy shit it was incredible. Played for 2.5 hours and the only bad thing about it was prevalence of country bros in plaid shirts in attendance.

I'm not a fan of newer country music mostly because I freaking hate "bro country"...I want my country drinking songs to be about lost love and lost jobs and running from the revenuer, not tapping a keg and partying on the tailgate. Which is why i kinda love this song--two women making dir...

I can drink Guinness like water, but I'm not sure how I'd ever make fun of anyone for not liking it or think I was some sort of awesome beer snob because I like it a lot.

Accidentally poured my wife's peppermint mocha aberration into my coffee instead of half n half. Blech. I don't know about that stuff, but this time of year I think eggnog is a great alternative to cream in coffee. Tastes like liquid thin mint. Ick. Eggnog sounds eggsellent. It's been my go-to coff...

I have no idea what the Royals are being offered for some of their pen arms, but I don't see any reason not to listen on all three. Davis is the best but paid a ton, Holland is little and Herrera could pitch just like he did in 2014 and should see his ERA atleast double, if not triple. I think they...

Absolutely not, that would be so unfair and arbitrary. We can only do that for the National Championship.

And you guys are ignoring another key change between last weekend and this one. After this weekend's games, Ohio State, Alabama, Oregon, and Florida State were all individual conference champions. Neither TCU nor Baylor were. At best, TCU would get half credit for sharing the title with Baylor. If ...

Brontoburglar

What is this referencing? Ohio State was never in the top four before Barrett's injury. I had read somewhere that OSU might have been 3rd or 4th two weeks ago but were dropped to 5th as a safety precaution because they didn't want a QB-less team in the top 4 positions. As you said.. it was a hedge....

Bronto: It's really strange that head-to-head isn't used until it is absolutely needed at the end. It's just so weird to have TCU ahead of both Baylor and FSU then because Baylor beats a common opponent then Baylor MUST be ahead of TCU but still can't be above FSU. That's sort of a if A beats B and...

If there's going to be a conference championship requirement, I would love for there to be a standardization of conference schedules. Given that we've got 8+1, 9 and 9+1 formats among the P5 conferences, it's not equitable. (Insert line about how college football isn't equitable to begin with.) And ...

Degen, the committee showed its work pretty clearly with the explanations of the last 48 hours: Before Saturday, the head-to-head matchup with Baylor and TCU hadn't come into play yet. You can argue that it should have been factored in since the beginning, but they didn't look at it until after they...

Brontoburglar

I still don't get why the bumped TCU up to 3 last week. If they had put them at 4, making a change today would have been much easier. Unless they just like TCU that much and decide to stand pat. I meant, unless they just hate TCU and really wanted to fuck with them. The committee would never admit ...

reallly shouldn't 29 straight trump everything else? 12 of our 13 games have been against top 5 conference opponents. 3 wins against the current top 25. can you really put a baylor tcu or ohio state ahead of that? to me if you start the season as defending champ, #1 should be yours to lose until yo...

Porcello for Cespedes makes me optimistic about the Central.

I have no idea what the Royals are going to do about RF though.

A little dev's advo here, because it's not like I follow enough to be able to think this myself, but if FSU is unimpressive enough to make the committee think they aren't one of the 4 best teams, that's good enough for me. Wins have always been just a piece of the puzzle. Why couldn't someone watch...

If you're in the middle of the country, I highly recommend stuff from Prairie Ales in Tulsa. We only drank that + Boulevard this weekend.

Their Bomb Imperial Stout is a 100 on BA, and this wine barrel stout was really good.

The farmhouse ales were good too.

Just to pick a nit, they didn't "finish higher in the conference standings". They have the same record in the conference. Fair point. Same record, but Baylor gets the tie-breaker (if not officially, then most would consider it that way). But that's double-counting the head-to-head win if ...
