Good Sunday morning. There's a lot going on in the world and the sporting world, so let's get to it.
A massive winter ❆storm is hitting the middle section of the country and the president has squarely laid the blame on the small Caribbean island of Antigua, demanding they surrender their island for reparations. "No one has ever seen anything like this storm, and the democrats and Antigua are to blame" said the president on his social media platform bullshit for beanbrains.
China's dictator Xi Jinping eviscerated the top leadership of the People's Liberation Army, announcing investigations into China's top generals Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli. Zhang's removal is the most shocking, as he and Xi are childhood friends and he was one of only a few PLA generals who had combat experience, leading a division in the lengthy boarder war with Vietnam that started in 1979. Investigations in China are similar to those announced by US Attorney General Pam Bondi- closed minded affairs with the filing of charges a forgone conclusion. The difference is that in the US we have a (semi for now) independent judiciary, but Bondi and the president are doing their level best to change that.
As for the NFL we have two intriguing games on tap. First up is the Cheaters at Denver who lost their star QB on a freak play at the end of the game. We are betting with our heart, not our head and taking the Broncos at home +4.5. Fun fact. Cheaters have never won a playoff game in the Mile High stadium. They are an 0-4. The weather is a chilly 10 degrees with mild wind that will make it feel like 0. If you want to have some fun, bet Bronco QB Jarret Stidham to have over 209 passing yards.
The best game of the day is LA at Seattle. Defense wins championships. Period. End of story. And the Seahawks have quietly built the best defense in the NFL. That D will be up against arguably the best player in the NFL this year- the fun-name-to-say Puka Nakua. The Seahawks are a paltry -2.5 favorite mostly because Vegas books see a big chance for Seahawks QB Sam Darnold to screw is up, while Rams QB Matthew Stafford has been there (and NFC championship game) and done that (won). It is really hard for us to pick against a great D. Steelers. Ravens. 85 Bears. 86 and 90 Giants with Lawrence Taylor.
The totals in both games are tough as well. 43 in Denver (weather related) and 46 in Seattle (will the D hold up against Stafford and Nakua?)
We may just sit this one out and enjoy the game for its entertainment value, as hard as that seems to believe. But if you are not suffering like us through the last week of Dry January and will be enjoying a few 🍺 watching the games and eating 🐔wings and pizza 🍕, then you have to take the Seahawks -2.5.
This is the last NFL football Sunday of 2025, and it has been a fun one. It may also be our last blogging about it. And if that is the case, we truly thank you for tuning in and reading all these years. It has been fun. As championship Golfer Gary Player wisely says about his rules of life, change is the price of survival.

#shumiebowl2026 is set! It’s going to be a grand game with an epic party at the cigar store down south and nearly as far west as you can go! Paella and a cohiba or Macanudo anyone ?
What did folks think of the "Fuck ICE" chants during the anthem? When Trump loses the NFL crowd that's a bad sign.
ASA’s all they do is cry and bitch all day
Whine whine whine cry baby
Whining little ASA’s cry cry cry. Go home to mom and dad
Just a reminder …In March 2024, Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Andrea Ricker Wolfson disqualified veteran prosecutor Michael Von Zamft and co-counsel Stephen Mitchell from a high-profile death penalty resentencing case due to misconduct, including witness manipulation and coaching. Von Zamft subsequently resigned following accusations of attempting to align witness testimony and improper jailhouse communication.
