A review of this week’s <em>Man in the Arena: Tom Brady</em> coming up as soon as I find literally anything else to watch

Matthew Stafford is still the same QB he was in Detroit
Welp, here we go again with Matthew Stafford. It must be extremely tough to be a fan of Stafford. Just when you think he’s rolling along and nothing can stop him, Stafford lays a giant egg in a game that he should win. It almost sounds like being a Dallas Cowboys fan. So, I get it....

NFL Week 9: Backup QBs take their shots at better-than-average .500 teams

America loves a dead celebrity
If you woke up this morning and hopped on social media, you probably saw that Robin Williams was trending on at least one platform.
