Sepia, the preferred color of old shit.

After weathering a few weeks of nigh unbearable early games, the schedule finally offers up a good 1 p.m. contest with the Ravens and Giants today. No doubt they will blubber on endlessly about this year marking the 50th anniversary of The Greatest Game Ever Played, the 1958 NFL Championship between the Baltimore Former Teams and the New York Frank Giffords. Exacerbating the liberal troweling of treacle is that it’s going to be coming from Dan Dierdorf, who scheduled to be in the booth for CBS. I think if we ever needed population control in America, and we’re getting close, the government would air one football game with Tony Kornheiser, Phil Simms and Dan Dierdorf doing the play-by-play. I know I’d fellate a handgun.

In other action, the Lions continue their death march to 0-16 at Carolina, the Neck Beard returns to face his summer camp buddy Aaron Rodgers, the Falcons and the Broncos unite in objection that the Giants and the Ravens was the worst Super Bowl of the last decade (all while I fervently deny a reality where Matt Ryan, Kurt Warner and Kerry Collins are viable MVP candidates in 2008), the Vikes and the Bucs flail around futilely in an attempt to make me care and the Chiefs will try to make it three weeks in a row where they squander an early lead against a clearly superior team.
