NFL Week 16

Good news and bad news for Dallas. Good news? You don’t get killed by New Orleans in the playoffs. Bad news is it really won’t matter.

Still no good bets.

I went to a party where they played Dirty Santa. One of the gifts was a cast iron Fluer-de-lis which we all assumed was a weapon. I warned the people who got it that, while it would protect them from all manner of beasts, such as Bears, Jaguars, Panthers, Colts, Lions, Falcons, even Pirates and Vikings and mythical creatures like Giants and Titans, that it would offer no protection whatsoever from Rams.
