The NFC W(eak)est

This is just sad.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -- The NFC West is so bad that a team with a losing record could win it -- even the Arizona Cardinals.

[snip]

If Arizona wins its last two, and both Seattle and St. Louis go 0-2, the Cardinals would take the division title at 7-9.


Meanwhile, the Patriots could finish the season at 15-1 and NOT have homefield advantage wrapped up through the playoffs.

In other NFL news, as if having games on Saturday wasn't enough, this week we get football on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. And I don't see any reason for Channel 4 (CBS) here in Boston not to broadcast the Ravens/Steelers game.

It's going to be a long weekend. And with the weather being what it is as of late, I had better start stocking up on canned goods.



What can I say? I celebrate diversity.
