Likely, no; possible, yes

It is mathematically possible for both the Chefs and the Bolts to make the playoffs. This season.

Seriously, check the math.

It is exceptionally unlikely -- both teams would have to run the table and the Patriots would have to die in a plane crash or disappear into another dimension -- but it's not impossible. Though, even if we were to assume ( Read more... )

You know, if you get Norv's skull you aren't going to know what to do with yourself next. ;)

I think the Chiefs have a decent shot with Orton. I think like Jason Campbell when he was with Washington, Orton is getting crap for some issues with the Broncos which had squat all to do with him. I'm watching Tebow with a great deal of caution. He hasn't sold me on his ability to play year in and year out. Until I see good passing on a consistent basis, I'm going to worry.

I was always on the side of Cutler in the great Cutler/Orton debate (...God, there's probably Cutler/Orton slashfic somewhere...), but I didn't think Orton was worthless. I still question how good he'll be before he's had a chance to unpack, but when your plan B is Tyler Palko, it's not hard to come up with a better plan A.

All Tebow needs is one game against a team fully prepared to throttle an option-quarterback scheme and willing to go after him. As soon as that happens, the entire complexion of the season's going to change. But that might not happen.

NFL slashfic... I shudder because it's gotta be out there somewhere...

San Diego sports radio was a lot of fun this week...

Just so you know, Brian's idly trying to figure out if he can afford to buy a bottle of Crystal Head just so he can put a Chargers cap on it (there are caps in football too, right? Or is it just baseball?) and a "Hello My Name Is Norv Turner" sticker on it and send it to you.

Founded by Dan Ackroyd, who pops up in picspam, no less. Creepy.

I imagine his skull would be relatively leaden, probably from snacking on paint chips through the season, but that it may have crystallized under intense pressure hadn't occurred to me. This may be a more difficult skullectomy than I've ever attempted before.

I've seen Norv wear a cap exactly once, and is most often prowling sidelines with a headset, probably playing "(I'm Gonna Be) 500 Miles" on infinite repeat. If their last game wasn't in (shudder) Oakland, I'd consider getting a seat just so I could stare at him for three-and-a-half hours, holding a sign that just said "SOON."

But I wouldn't want you to feel obliged to send me a skull, because the next thing you know, I'm sending you skulls, and then we're moving on to rib cages, spines, entire skeletons, and suddenly we're operating out of Temple of Doom (Desert) and Temple of Doom (Midwest). Which would at least cut down on the number of nocturnal Mormon visitors, but might affect property values in a not- ( ... )
