Continuing from inspiration Saturday, here is a smidge from NFL Buck and Firefighter Eddie.

Chimney scrunched up his nose, “Not a football fan?” Eddie choked out a laugh because he was the opposite of ‘not-a-fan’.  He cheered loud and proud at every one of Evan’s games, alongside his son and Maddie. They had a whole room in their house decorated from floor to ceiling with signed jerseys, trophies, and other memorabilia.  Hell, he even sat with Buck to watch film and offered notes here and there. “Ah no.” Eddie coughed a bit, recovering from his slight outburst, “I love football. Actually, before I was in Houston, I worked medical stand by for Longhorn home games.” “Whoa, now that is cool.” Chimney stated in wonder, “Then are you not a Texan’s fan? Do you like the Cowboys.” His nose wrinkled in disgust. Eddie shook his head, “No. I don’t really have one team I really root for, just players I followed from their time at the University of Texas.” Now that wasn’t a lie. Of course, Eddie cheered for the Texans, but now he would cheer for the Rams.  Because when the team wins, Evan wins and Eddie loves when his boyfriend wins.

a brief overview of wildcard weekend

some of these games were decent, most were unwatchable. behold, the most haste-induced summary:

Texans 32, Chargers 12: same old fucking chargers. exciting new hire/rookie, fairly impressive regular season, immediately look like fools against a competent opponent. the texans used some flavor of voodoo magic to pick off justin herbert 4 times, which practically iced the game the whole way through. many people (me included) picked the chargers to win, how dumb to believe in that team year after year. have fun in cancun.

Ravens 28, Steelers 14: Congratulations Mike Tomlin! you win another year of "is it time to move on?" debate. this team was playing with house money, but its clear the culture needs to change. meanwhile in baltimore, the team must continue to convince lamar that it is still the regular season if they want a chance at beating buffalo. this game was really fucking boring to be honest.

Bills 31, Broncos 7: aside from a fun opening drive TD, this game was also boring. the bills beat the shit out of a wildcard seed for the 5 year going, what's new? unlike the chargers, there is a bright future in denver. bo nix is still the guy. but in the meantime, the great quest continues in buffalo. hope it doesnt go wide right! (also can we talk about the sheer loudness of the buffalo goalposts? it must be investigated.)

Eagles 22, Packers 10: If the packers had any starting receivers, this would have been different. jordan love looked like the reincarnation of brett farve (without the misuse of public funds). by the second half it was so bad that aj brown was reading on the sidelines. stay educated king. this team actually looks very competent???

Commanders 23, Buccaneers 20: FINALLY. an actually entertaining game. the 4th quarter alone probably had all of tampa bay and washington dc suffer from high blood pressure. goal line fumble followed by a doink in. storybook stuff for the snyderless commies. nothing else to say, love to see it.

Rams 27, Vikings 9: sam darnold put on a disasterclass. fumbled generational wealth. L. jets sam was back in full effect, bro looked like a deer in headlights. meanwhile this was a hugely cathartic win for the rams as their city burns, fuck it they ball. jared verse is actually filling the aaron donald sized hole, looks to be a star for years to come. rams at eagles is gonna be lit

Top 5 Upcoming Surprises: NFL 2024!

What’s Happening Playmakers!!

As the 2024 NFL season approaches, fans and analysts alike are buzzing with anticipation. While perennial powerhouses are expected to dominate, several teams are poised to surprise with their offseason moves and emerging talents. Here are the top five teams most likely to be pleasant surprises this season:

1. Tennessee Titans

No, this isn’t favoritism, or bias. If you’ve paid attention to the Titans’ offseason this year, and the sneakily solid moves they made, you would see why they are on this list. The Tennessee Titans have made significant strides this offseason, positioning themselves as a team to watch. Under the leadership of new head coach Brian Callahan, the Titans have revamped their roster with key additions: Calvin Ridley, L’Jarius Sneed, Chibode Awuzie, Lloyd Cushenberry, Quadre Diggs, Jamal Adams, Tyler Boyd, Tony Pollard. With these moves and a fresh coaching perspective, the Titans are set to make a strong impact in the AFC South.

2. Los Angeles Rams

The Los Angeles Rams have also made notable offseason moves that could lead to a surprising season. Despite facing salary cap challenges, the Rams have had a productive offseason. They signed cornerback Tre'Davious White to bolster their secondary and added guard Jonah Jackson to fortify their offensive line. Additionally, the Rams brought in tight end Colby Parkinson to improve their passing game. With these strategic additions and a revamped coaching staff, the Rams are well-positioned to compete in the NFC West.

3. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Pittsburgh Steelers are a team to watch this season. Their quarterback situation is uncertain, with Russell Wilson and Justin Fields vying for the starting position. The Steelers have also strengthened their defense by adding key players such as linebacker Patrick Queen and cornerback Donte Jackson. Furthermore, the offensive line has been upgraded with new talent, offering improved protection and support for the quarterback. With these enhancements, the Steelers could make a strong push in the AFC North.

4. Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions have methodically constructed a competitive team that could catch many off guard this season. Their impressive draft class and shrewd free-agent acquisitions have addressed several critical areas. The addition of cornerback Terrion Arnold and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has significantly enhanced both depth and talent on their roster. Under the dynamic leadership of head coach Dan Campbell and with these roster improvements, the Lions are poised to emerge as a potential dark horse contender in the NFC. The team's upgraded defensive and offensive units, combined with Campbell’s intense coaching style, position them as a formidable force that could shake up expectations.

5. Los Angeles Chargers

Despite grappling with salary cap issues, the Los Angeles Chargers have had a highly productive offseason. They excelled in the draft, notably selecting offensive tackle Joe Alt and wide receiver Ladd McConkey, both of whom are expected to make immediate impacts. Additionally, the Chargers made a significant coaching change by hiring Jim Harbaugh as their new head coach. This move, along with the hiring of several new assistant coaches, has brought a fresh perspective and strategic depth to the team. Coupled with a more manageable schedule this season, the Chargers are well-positioned to exceed expectations and potentially surprise many with their performance.

In conclusion, these five NFL teams have strategically bolstered their rosters and coaching staff, setting the stage for potential success in the 2024 season. With new coaching leadership, impactful player acquisitions, and rising stars, each team is positioned to exceed expectations and make waves in the league. But which teams might face setbacks?
