    I don’t think any sport competes with the NFL in January. High stakes, High drama.

    The last two weekends have been incredible.

    As a long time Hawks fan, the past month has been insane, playing our NFC West rivals - and it continues this upcoming week. Rams are the team I wanted to avoid, hoping the Bears would do the job.

    Looking like a group of us will be doing a day trip down on the train from Vancouver - and will enjoy the atmosphere in Seattle - 6am depart, PNW craft beers available from 9am - Long day 🙂

      Why the delay? Do they not understand traveling support?

        I'm a degenerate, but I love some outdoor, cold weather smash mouth football. It's hard to score. Defense dominates. Domes are great, but this is some old school shit I love to watch.

        Nothing like watching a snow game, especially here in the northern hemisphere, game is on in the evening and the fire is roaring.

          So Bills fire McDermott.

          Is that 9 or 10 coaching roles turning over? Amazing numbers

            I wonder if Harbaugh regrets signing with the Giants now.

            Mike Tomlin has said planning on taking a break from coaching, but are the bills tempting enough to change his mind? You don't often get the opportunity to take over a team with an MVP calibre QB in his prime already in place.

              Harbaugh could have waited, he was the best coach available and could have had any job

                I think its actually because we're in the US by then, and outside of BC's liquor rules 🙂

                  Well done to Indiana for winning their first national title and going undefeated. They are the program that had the most losses in NCAA history.

                      A season for the ages.
                      Incredible run, first college to go 16-0 since 1884!
                      Love Cignetti, no one needs to google him now.
                      Like the way he operates, the ABs need someone like him.
                      And he dropped an F bomb at the end, perfect.
                      Miami were good tho.

                          Impressive turnaround from Indiana.

                            Fun game too. NCAA serves up excellent offense. Great to see new faces at the table - shows the playoff structure works, and that the old seedings were a bunch of Fern-level geniuses stuffed in a room picking the big names. I mean, like the All Blacks selections of 24/25 😄

                              And beat all the big guns . . .
                              Ohio State
                              Alabama
                              Oregon
                              one after the other . . .
                              very impressive

                                The media usually talks up the SEC teams, but that is three wins in a row by different Big Ten teams.

                                      Nick Saban (ex Alabama HC) made a smart ass comment to-day about the apparent college football power shifting from the SEC to the Big Ten.

                                      He said something along the lines of . . .
                                      "The only reason a player would want to move from the south to the north is for money."
                                      Maybe an element of truth in what he said

                                      College football players can earn quite good money now, and the Big Ten colleges have access to huge amounts of finance. Some in the south do as well.
                                      The Big Ten just knocked back a huge $2.5 billion silverlake type investment; dealing with a similar sort disputation that NZ rugby went thru.
                                      All colleges had to agree to it, Michigan didn't like it, for the same reasons a lot in NZ didn't like the silverlake deal, and nixed it.
                                      But the money guys will be back sometime.

                                        All colleges had to agree to it, Michigan didn't like it, for the same reasons a lot in NZ didn't like the silverlake deal, and nixed it.
                                        But the money guys will be back sometime.

                                          They'll need a miracle. But in one game that's possible.

                                          7th easiest schedule in the superbowl era (from memory)

                                          then they got Herbert with a horror O-line, and then Stroud throwing 4-5 turnovers. Now thye get Denver with Stidham.

                                          Two outcomes on Monday (new anniversary day tradition - 2 meaningful NFL games!) - either Payton is a master coach or Patriots stumble into a superbowl.

                                          Broncos have done it with a shit QB before, but defences respected even a diminished Peyton. They won't respect Stidham - it could get ugly out there.

                                          IT's a real pity as this has been an insanely good season for a neutral fan.
