Andre Johnson was kind enough to do a lap dance for the kid and I today. His Lambeau Leap landed on us, then Reggie Wayne had a magnificent TD catch 10 feet away. So the people we’re with get texts saying we’re all on TV. Great, I’m recording back at home and can get pics off that. We join other friends in a luxury suite and enjoy some free booze n chow but the view ain’t near as good so back to the endzone. We get home, try and pull up the DVR and the blasted thing went out right after we left. Nothing recorded. Now that’s a bit of a bummer. Sports with your kid, you want to preserve as many tangible memories as possible. ---

And the Cowboys just beat the Pittsburg guys. Heh. ---

This has set up a titanic showdown between the Bengals and Steelers in Pittsburgh next Sunday. And WTF has happened to the Ravens? Shit, the division isn’t out of reach for any of the three teams at this point! ---

I have no idea what etv78 is talking about, but the Redskins clearly have a real shot at the playoffs, and with the Eagles and Cowpokes left certainly can win out. ---

> [@asterion](#): > > What about 8-7-1? Of course. If all three teams lose next week, New York loses in week 17 and Dallas and Washington tie. Depending on tie breakers, either Dallas or Washington will win at 8-7-1. ---

> [@Mince](#): > > Of course. If all three teams lose next week, New York loses in week 17 and Dallas and Washington tie. Depending on tie breakers, either Dallas or Washington will win at 8-7-1. That would be boring. All three losing next week and tying in week 17 would be all kinds of fun. 😉 ---

> [@Mince](#): > > Of course. If all three teams lose next week, New York loses in week 17 and Dallas and Washington tie. Depending on tie breakers, either Dallas or Washington will win at 8-7-1. Since the Redskins won in Dallas on Thanksgiving, they’d win the head-to-head tiebreaker if they both finished 8-7-1 and the Giants were 8-8. ---

Now that you mention it, I’ve got that, good call. The Wayne catch won’t be on there because it came back on a penalty but maybe some of the rest will be there. Thanks, Señor. After watching the Pats dismantle the Texans last week, this SF lead is even more impressive to me. ---

As a neutral observer of this game, that non-call of pass interference as the Pats DB shoved the SF receiver out of the way was awful. ---
