Son of Hochuli in particular looks really short compared to many of the players.

This is the same line of thinking that says we should lose NFC games because it makes us more likely to win tiebreakers.

The Wild Card thing was pretty bad. But NBC isn't going to make a special Thursday graphics package for Thanksgiving. They'll just use the SNF stuff. Some of the networks have an "NFL Special" graphics package they can use, but I don't think NBC has one.

I will predict it is a CBS 4:25 doubleheader game. They've taken this game away from CBS for two straight years (it was the SNF game this year; last year it was a Thursday night FOX game). CBS will ask for it and I'd be shocked if they don't get it this time.

It's taxed... just not reported. Not that I am advocating this, but the IRS ain't gonna know what the cost basis of your goods are. The easiest way to get around this reporting requirement is to report the basis as equal to, or higher than the net proceeds.

Tennessee is one of the most annoying franchises in the NFL - feels like they always get these breaks and that they get win more games than they really have any business winning.

I agree, it's likely an NFC opponent. I don't see the Rams or the Bears being the international game given that they were just over there in 2019. I think the Lions game is the pick if they want to balance the home/away split (8/8/1), or possibly the Vikings if they make the Bills sacrifice a home game. There are quite a few games on the Bills schedule next year that could be SNF/MNF candidates or 4:25pm doubleheader games (Packers, Chiefs, Ravens, Rams, Titans, Patriots x2) and I don't see any of those going to London. Europe never gets the "good" games that end up on the schedule.

I hear Thom McKee wants the job next.

This is Muki confusing the 17th game with the 17th week.

They generally are not, but they are granted an exception during November for "No Shave November" to raise awareness for prostate cancer.

Well, at least we have the 31-11 scorigami to root for...

Again, the referee is only responsible for the quarterback, kicker, game administration, and replay. They will occasionally call holding, but that's it. The umpire and the deep wing officials are a lot more interesting as those officials primarily call holding, illegal contact, and pass interference. These are the calls that typically impact the game the most. For Sunday's game, the following officials have been scheduled: Carl Johnson is the old NFL head of officiating (he was replaced by Riveron who was replaced by Walt Anderson). Mark Hittner and Rick Patterson have been around forever and are widely considered some of the best at their position. This is a very good crew that has a lot of experience.

Yeah I figured that would be the recommendation - thanks for confirming!

I'm gonna be in Poipu during the AFC championship weekend... any suggestions on Kauai? For Oahu I'd avoid the chains along Kalakaua/Waikiki and try to find some place a bit more local closer to the Ala Moana area. The King's Pub suggestion looks pretty decent.

Very likely going to get the late Sunday slot but it'll be Nantz and Romo. NBC will probably get the Saturday night slot (SF/GB).

Man the games this weekend have been lopsided outside of the Bengals and Raiders. Hoping Pittsburgh shows up and we get a halfway decent game.

The ***** is back!

Agreed. I don't like this at all and I say that as someone who enjoys putting money down on the games while in Vegas. There's a saying, don't eat where you poop... gambling is ok in small doses but having it inside the stadium itself feels like it's a step too far.

It is important to note that, other than Allen, none of the officials were on his regular season crew. There is a lot of the Blakeman and Rogers crew being represented:

"We might not even need the punter!" Dear God I hope Talley is right.

I get it... but BB in the playoffs doesn't seem like a dream matchup. I'd rather send the team that plays in a dome in Los Angeles to Buffalo.

So... if the Chargers win we get them, and if the Raiders win, we get NE*?

I see "Aaron" and totally forget about Schobel. My mind immediately went to Maybin lol...

They have to keep Haack to hold for FGs... but I would bring in a punter for the playoffs. A retired Moorman could do a better job than this.

14-0 Fish... if the cheats lose and the Raiders win... Belichick and friends come to Buffalo. Can't believe I'm saying this but I want BB to win this one.
