John Bolton is a pretty horrible human being but if you’re looking to build a RICO case you probably aren’t dealing with Saints. The reason his testimony in the Ukraine Bribery/Extortion Scandal (I like that name and will stick with it until a better one comes along) is important is he was right in the …

Throwball Playoffs Wild Card Day 2 Early Afternoon: Seahawks at Iggles
Yeah, the one with the wack seeding. Look there is simply no way the 9 – 7 Iggles are anywhere near as good as the 11 – 5 Seahawks, they play in the worst Division in the League (yes the AFC East has the Dolphins and the Jets, they also have the Patsies). Plus the …

Throwball Playoffs Wild Card Day 2 Early Afternoon: Psychs @ Aints
This one is not difficult at all. The Psychs and Errs are perennial rivals of my Packers so I already hate them. The Aints have been deemed mildly acceptable by TMC who is sentimental about Katrina. I’m impressed by Drew Brees’ arm and he’s one of the big deal QBs, just like Loser Brady, so …

Throwball Playoffs Wild Card Day 1 Evening: Titans @ Patsies
Easy pick. I hate the Patsies more than any other team in Throwball. I hope Brady has an off night, this is his last game in Foxborough ever, he has a miserable, long, and lackluster career with the Giants or the Jets or the Dolphins or the Browns until he’s too crippled to move the …

Throwball Playoffs Wild Card Day 1 Afternoon: Bills @ Texans
Yes, it’s that time of year when we get to talk about which teams we hate more With even records of 10 – 6 the Bills are favored by 3 points which the Times think the Texans will cover and I do not. The Bills problem is they have a stodgy ‘ball control’ offense that …
