Gambling With Sanity Post Draft Part 2, NFC Edition

 

Onto part two of whatever the hell this thing is. I guess it is just a snapshot post draft. But maybe with a little time to digest it all? I don’t fucking know. I never fucking know what I am gibbering about half the time, but maybe, after it is all over, it will make some sense. Who knows? Let’s just resume the gibbering…

 

 

NFC East

 

Right, so this crap factory of a division will be terrible again, but will receive excess attention because of the teams and the markets and all their horrible, horrible fans who should all be wrapped up in a super cannon and shot into the fucking sun. Except for sweet Tosh of course who loves his Eagles because he was born into it, just like he was born into ECW and the revolting Philly scene of which he is a king. But enough about Tosh, let’s get to the football gibberish.

 

The fucking Cowboys will always get the most attention because of the whole stupid America’s Team thing, and of course they are America’s team, that stupid part of America that is still hung up on MAGA bullshit and red hats and keeping Mexican kids in cages and FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS Y’ALL ugly bullshit Americana. Naturally, they drafted a shady character in Micah Parsons, who is known for soaping up and threatening rape on freshman recruits in the shower like fucking JBL of WWE infamy.

 

This is supposed to fix their uproariously awful defense, but of course, Parsons is a degenerate being fed into a moral wasteland of degeneracy, and will almost certainly be suspended after getting involved in a crank and hookers ring tied loosely to Jerry Jones shady oil empire of American disgrace. The offense should still be mostly fine, with Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliot and all the damn toys that Jerry Jones likes to watch go boom. But the moral center of the team is of course a black hole of disgusting vice and dark Americanism. DeShaun Watson would be the perfect quarterback for this team.

 

But the Cowboys will almost certainly self destruct again because the basic foundational problems are still there, which is that the defense is trash and Jerry Jones is a fucking idiot who is convinced he is a genius because he leeched onto some old time football buddies from way back in the day in Jimmy Johnson and Barry Switzer, old Arkansas teammates who he got fucked up with and fucked coeds of dubious age back when that was the golden age of American Male Debauchery.

 

But he has no old buddies to bail him out anymore and it will be the same old disappointing shit for the Cowboys and their empty souled fans. Not that there is anyone else to really pick up the divisional mantle and wear that crown proudly because all of these teams are shit.

 

The Eagles have really done nothing, just watched as their one off Super Bowl team disintegrated into dust and memory. They traded away Carson Wentz, signaling a sort of rebuild with Jalen Hurts, who is of dubious quality as an NFL quarterback. It seems the real braintrust of that Super Bowl team fled to Indianapolis and the Colts, leaving the Eagles and their oh so patient fans in the lurch. I figure by Halloween, those fans will be sneaking razorblades into the stadium to covertly cut their own players and watch them bleed in the hopes that Enter Sandman will blare from the speakers and the Sandman will come and cane everyone followed by Sabu moonsaulting from the top of the stadium onto the carnage below. Anything else would be a disappointment.

 

The Giants are still trying to win with their Duke dork of a QB, which is never a way to win the NFL and the Giants should know better, but they don’t and so here they are trying to make something work that never really had a chance. They have a small Spirit Warrior presence in defensive captain Jabrill Peppers, but he is only one man and can’t do much from his safety spot except watch as New York turns on the Giants yet again and Jimmy Hoffa’s moldering body curses them from beneath the endzone. Do they even play in that stadium anymore? I don’t fucking know, but I do know that the lingering stench of soulless evil follows them around to this day.

 

That leaves the Washington Football Team who lol still don’t have a name and are lurching disgracefully through woke times towards finding something, anything, of an identity that isn’t wildly offensive to someone. They did a good thing in dragging in Ryan Fitzpatrick to prop things up. He is a true Spirit Warrior at QB, oft traveled and swashbuckling in the way that only a Harvard man bent on self destruction can. But he alone probably isn’t enough to take this team to the next level. But they don’t really have to go to a next level to win this shithole of a division again, it’s just that they will then get unceremoniously blown out of the playoffs while more of their fans drift away never to return, which is story of the NFL East in a nutshell.

 

 

NFC North

 

Right, so this will be hard to write about without mentioning the Lions but I want to do a separate piece on them because they are my team and ostensibly are the soul and anchor of this fucked up blog, which, of course, is only appropriate. But I’ll try to make some sense of it anyway.

 

The big question, of course, is what the hell will happen with The Devil himself, Aaron Rodgers, who supposedly wants to finally get the hell out of Green Bay. I think there is some Hollywood envy in the Devil’s eyes, but neither Los Angeles team needs a QB, and neither does Las Vegas, but it would be interesting to see The Devil work his nasty business in the desert if the Raiders decided to really go for it.

 

The hot team that everyone talks about with Rodgers is the Broncos, but I don’t know what Denver offers the Devil other than self-important cocaine addicts and libertarian types who need to latch onto a Great White Stallion to satiate their Super Bowl dreams as they did with John Elway and the Home Depot manager stylings of Peyton Manning. It would all be acoustic guitars and checking on the price of Ethereum and Bitcoin while guzzling local microbrews and hoping the Devil can win with a nasty defense.

 

But that is speculating on the AFC West really, which we have already done, but the point is that the Devil seems to want out of Green Bay finally, like Dr. Burt Fever before him, and short of retiring and flashing tiny dick picks to sideline reporters, Rodgers doesn’t really have any leverage here. But once a relationship is poisoned, it’s usually best to just part ways and get out as advantageously as possible. But even if the Packers make a good deal, the Devil will still be gone and they will be left with, who, Jordan Love? That was always the plan, but the Packers can’t get so lucky again as they did when they drafted the Devil to replace Favre, right? Right???

 

That is the big question hanging over this whole division. Other than that, the Vikings are still stuck with Kirk Cousins, which is funny to me because I called that shit, and here we are with Captain Kirk leading a team to the brink of mediocrity yet again. He is a soulless house of cards, a nothing easily blown away by a breathless still wind. I wish him and the Vikings nothing but ill will while he is still their QB and while they still lean into the racist NORGE of their Viking “identity”.

 

The Bears… the fucking Bears managed to have Justin Fields fall right into their lap, which is the sort of thing that never happens to the Bears, but which also is probably a bad sign for Fields who faces two historical Failure Demons. One, is that the Bears never have a good QB. Their QB legacy is even more lowly than the Lions, which means that there are dark forces working against Fields right off the bat.

 

Second, is that Ohio St. QB’s are like Bears QB’s in that they never, ever pan out, going back to Art Schlicter and his gambling problems that got him run out of the NFL damn near 40 years ago. Since then, Ohio St has managed to produce not a single decent NFL quarterback. Dwayne Haskins is already being papered over in Washington.

 

So, the odds that Fields actually develops into anything other than the next great Bears/Ohio St. bust are slim. I mean, there are just so many dark historical factors working against him here. Dark energies are real things, man. I am a Lions fan, I know what I am talking about.

 

That leaves the Lions, who I will talk about later, but needless to say, I don’t see them winning the division, but I don’t see any of the other teams being particularly good either, especially if The Devil gets exorcized to the AFC West or anywhere else but here. Of course, if he manages to survive An Old Priest and a Young Priest, the Packers will probably take this shitty division. Man, the NFC really isn’t very good. At least not these first two divisions.

 

 

NFC South

 

King Brady of course stands tall here in this division. All questions about his legacy and who really ran the show in New England were empathically silenced by his unreal and surreal run to yet another Super Bowl triumph with the Bucs. There has never been anything like him before, and there probably won’t be anything like him again.

 

All that’s left for Brady is to retain control over his dazzling empire of Nazi medical research teams and the ever swirling and changing retinue of exoticos who populate he and Gisele’s life, both working and sexually. There are only so many undiscovered Amazonian virgin children you can find to eat before the jungles start crowding in around you, but that will all be part of Brady’s next journey as he searches for the mythical Fountain of Youth deep in the Amazonian jungles, the lost city of Z perhaps or maybe something beyond the human experience, with Ayahuasca taking him from himself and allowing him to float in another dimension in space and time, devoid of the pains and carnal desires of this world.

 

But, for now, Brady is still yearning to fulfill those carnal desires. It’s just that his appetite is greater than most mortal men. He is primed to once again lead Tampa Bay to Super Bowl glory and press that pleasure button which will get him closer and closer to physical gratification, but enlightenment can only be reached when he lets go of these desires and gives into the eternal pulse of pure love.

 

The Panthers are trying to make things interesting at least, trading for Sam Darnold, who probably got a bit of a raw deal in the jungle of New York football, where he crumbled under the never closing eye of scrutiny and also the weight of defensive linemen crushing him because he had no offensive line to protect him. But he doesn’t have to be the star of stars in Carolina. He can lean on Christian McCafferty, who lingered in and out of the lineup in last season’s weird COVID year. If he’s healthy, he is a dynamic weapon who can carry Carolina’s offense so long as Darnold holds up.

 

But the rest of the NFC South really didn’t do anything to get better to chase down Brady, perhaps giving up already and ceding the division to him for the time being. Drew Brees finally retired and can now go on to living a life advocating for torturing brown people in cages. It’s probably spiritually best for New Orleans to finally cut ties with such a despicable character, but that is New Orleans for you, whose people have been forced through the years to make various deals with various devils just to allow their fair city to survive. It’s all vampires and witches, some good, some bad, I make no judgments, but Brees was definitely one of the bad ones and I’m glad he’s gone.

 

In his absence, the Saints will look to either Taysom Hill or Jameious Winston, both of whom come with upside and questions. Taysom Hill, of course, is an alluring modern athlete sort of QB who can do things with his legs and arm, but he has never really proven that he can do it as the dude who carries the spiritual water for an entire team. We’ll find out this year whether he is that Dude or just a guy who can flash off the bench now and then. Winston, of course, has all the right tools, but he throws too many INTs and is also a crab leg thief and probable rapist. I understand the allure of both crab legs and pussy, but you can’t just take either without going through the right channels. I was gonna say without paying the price, but that would open up a whole new series of problematic gibberish.

 

If the Saints can’t lock onto their guy early on, they are done, finished, and probably would be in need of a rebuild soon, which is where the Falcons are even if they can’t admit it to themselves. Matt Ryan is still functional as a high level NFL QB but he is also old and the Falcons have slid into the abyss with him at QB. Julio Jones is also old and being openly shopped around the league and Todd Gurley didn’t work out at all as the team’s RB and is also on the market as a free agent. But instead of recognizing all of this and the shitty defense, the Falcons decided to go all in with their current core and drafted a fucking Tight End with the #3 pick, which is a super bold kind of stupid Lions move that can only backfire on them. I mean, I get it that they think that Kyle Pitts is the next great NFL Tight End, but at the end of the day that’s all he is, a good Tight End. Even if he is Tony Gonzalez reborn, or, fuck, Kellen Winslow, he still isn’t going to take the Falcons to the next level.

 

And the next level for the Falcons wouldn’t even be Super Bowl contention. It would just be bare mediocrity. This is probably the most delusional team in the NFL right now, and it will probably only get a whole lot darker before it starts to look fun again.

 

So, that clearly leaves Brady and the Bucs on top of this soft ass division again, and again, the NFC mostly looks like shit. The only hope lies in the…

 

 

 

NFC West

 

 

The big story here, of course, is Matthew Stafford coming to lead the Rams to Nirvana. Which is fascinating, because its also his chance to finally be part of a team that can actually make that journey. As such, it seems to be a match made in heaven, and I am openly supportive of Stafford and the Rams attempt to find love together.

 

Of course, it helps that Matty is going to a team already prepped for such a journey, with a killer defense still led by Aaron Donald. If Stafford can be the Dude who saved the Lions from the hellfire so many times with the Rams, then the Rams are of course maybe one of the only teams who can challenge Brady and his traveling Kingdom of Glory.

 

The Seahawks will be the Seahawks so long as Russell Wilson is still the QB and I have been long on record as being a supporter of Wilson’s talents. He is a dude who took a 5’11” body and molded it into a dynamic NFL star QB winner Spirit Warrior type. He also fucks Ciara every night so he has made the most of his talents for sure.

 

The Cardinals are interesting in that they keep pressing the pedal offensively with Kyler Murray, giving him more and more weapons to work with in the hope that he and the team can finally break through and challenge the Rams and Seahawks for the top of the NFC West, whose winner will almost certainly be the only team to challenge Brady in the NFC Championship game.

 

But the Cardinals are also devoid of any real Spiritual Energy, lost in that desert wasteland of Arizona, which is beautiful and rich in native energies, but has been colonized and terraformed to be an air conditioned suburb of Americanism which is a horrible disease that eats itself alive in a never ending orgy of capitalist greed. It is hard for anything beautiful to flourish in the desert, and what beauty is found is often gnarled and ugly, beautiful if only for its own hard-won survival. But it is not a place for humans, or at least soft, white humans and Arizona will always be fighting that spiritual rot of colonialists safe in their artificial mansions.

 

That leaves the 49ers, who are already seemingly moving on from Jimmy G, showing once again that living in the afterbirth of Brady’s supernova can only last so long before you are just a sludge of space rock wandering aimlessly through the cosmos.  And so, the 49ers drafted Trey Lance, who is devoid of experience and seems to be one of those Build Your Own QB’s that NFL architects like to tinker with every now and then.

 

The belief is that Lance will be molded by a QB Guru, who in this case is… Kyle Shanahan? Shit. Oh well, so the hope is that Lance will be built up by the spell dust of nepotism which isn’t exactly a recipe for NFL success. That’s fine, though, for a franchise owned by a similarly nepotized dork who thinks he is a mind of staggering genius and not just some trust fund baby handed a team to run. It is an inbred culture sure to self-destruct for the wine-sniffing 49ers fans, lost in their own NorCal empire of shitty wine and overproduced weed. People just disappear in that world, an upperclass bourgie existence devoid of any real community structure, an echo of a Wild West run on its own rules, its own laws, its own devotion towards empiric greed. White Collar Gangstering over land and wine and weed. It would be interesting except that none of these people are, and so go the 49ers, who could be interesting, but are instead a collection of inbred idiots and general lawlessness, ignored because everyone is rich and white, and nobody cares when things start to collapse because everyone assumes there is always money to prop things up again when things go bad. And that is how an Empire collapses, and that is how the 49ers will continue to collapse as the years sag by.

Gambling With Sanity Post Draft

 

It’s been over a month since the NFL had it’s draft, and naturally, I have procrastinated to a degree only seen usually in the mentally ill or drug addicted, which lol April was not a good month for me as you buffoons all witnessed on the Twitter, and of course that all happened concurrent with the NFL Draft and at some point Ilhan Omar may have drafted me to rehab or maybe that was a crazy hallucination, we can’t be sure.

 

Anyway, yes, there has been a lot of shit that’s gone down in the NFL recently and I suppose I should write about it for you and for me and for us, as we get strapped into the rocket that will take us to gibberish island and perhaps some insights into the NFL and the culture at large. I don’t know if I will break this up into an AFC and NFC two-parter or if I will just write the fuck out of it all in one big bang of gibberish. So let’s just cease this dumb shit and get to talking about the FOOOOOOTTTTTTBAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL

 

 

AFC East

 

In the wake of the NFL Draft, it’s apparent that the Bills and Dolphins are leading the pack here. The Bills have Josh Allen and a whole lot of interesting offense with Steffon Diggs catching all them balls, and it’s a good time for the people of Buffalo, who, like all of us, are recovering from the Covid wars. You have to feel good about the Bills being good because they are one of those run down peoples who just can’t catch a break in any other part of life. They are spiritual brethren to Lions fans. And unlike the shitheads in Hickton, Tennessee or wherever, the people of Buffalo are Northern Scum, which isn’t a thing to be admired or anything, but it is not Bible Belt bullshit. It is just fat people buried under mountains of lake effect snow trying to get by.

 

And now that they have Josh Allen and that explosive offense, they can forget about their failure demons, and their murderous running back, OJ Simpson. Poor Thurman Thomas did not deserve that kind of legacy even as Jim Kelly’s jaw ate itself in a horrible scene that was likely penance for OJ’s misdeeds and also for what Jim Kelly probably did in his college days at Miami, which is notorious for being a bed of sin.

 

But the Bills have Miami chasing their ass, and the big question is whether Tua can be the dude who rolled everyone at Alabama. The Dolphins think Tua will be the dude, but what if he’s just a college hotshot? They’ve built a team with a pretty solid defense and they just need a new Dan Marino in Tua, but I don’t know that the dude has it, and if he doesn’t, this becomes yet another long “Remember when?” with Don Shula and the gang.

 

Meanwhile, Little Bill drafted Mac Jones from Alabama, and this is just pathetic. It’s an old man exposed, I mean we know the Brady Formula has left Little Bill looking like what he was all along, Bill Parcell’s handmaid. There is no way that some dick named fucking Mac Jones can be what Little Bill needs him to be. Which is Tom Brady. It just isn’t going to work and Little Bill and his fucking kids who are his assistant coaches now will have to eat the failure dick.

 

The fucking Jets panicked and sold off Sam Darnold and then drafted another QB, which… how will this time be different than the last time? Darnold was broken by the Jets being the Jets. This new kid, Zach Wilson, is a fresh faced Mormon and he will get destroyed in New York, probably end up turning tricks for truckers as they roll into the city from Jersey. It is just the dumbest Jets thing. You pretty much have to be a pirate like Joe Namath to survive the New York experience as a QB, but this Mormon motherfucker is gonna be stripped naked and crucified.

 

So, I think it’s the Bills and Dolphins here, and that’s only if Tua can get his shit together. Little Bill and Mac Jones are going to prove more than ever that Brady was the whole fucking thing, and the Mormon Jet isn’t doing shit.

 

 

AFC North

 

My god, this is my favorite division for sure. It is a collection of old hates and holy wars and shit people rising up to be something human. You have the Browns of course, who were wretchedly torn from their team back in the day, only to resurrect something new, something Cleveland. They hate the Ravens who were the stolen Browns, and then the Bengals were also founded by Paul Brown who was so important to Cleveland’s football team that they named the team after him. And then he went off, like a father leaving his family, to start a new family in Cincinnati. So, yeah, they all hate each other. And then you have the fucking Steelers, who are the King Dick’s of the division, the one team that all the rest hate. I love it so much, it is almost Shakespearean.

 

The Steelers drafted a running back in the first round, which seems to portent that they will try to drag the football wars into the shit. Their rapist QB is falling apart, and so they are gonna try to pivot to a defense strong, run game strong style, which is really a last desperate gasp because the Browns and Bengals are about to take off to another level.

 

I am committed to Baker Mayfield as the new Kenny Stabler. He is a Spirit Warrior who has proven himself already, beating back the hated Steelers. Like with Buffalo, Cleveland is kind of a kindred spirit, and I like the Browns. Also, Dan is a Brown’s fan, and Dan is a good dude who would probably let me crash on his couch, and that is meaningful. It’s all sunshine and rockets with Baker Mayfield, and if he can capture the Stabler in himself, he will do great things.

 

Joe Burrow on the other hand just got linked up with his favorite receiver from Baton Rouge, and then the Bengals stocked up on the offensive line, so Joe Burrow can go full force degenerate superstar, tossing balls to his boy during the day and pipelining coeds from Baton Rouge to Cincinnati in an underground railroad of, let's call them Joe Burrow enthusiasts. Louisiana puts out five star talent year after year.

 

But what of the Ravens? They keep shitting themselves in the playoffs, but they still have Lamar Jackson and a nasty defense. But it always seems to collapse when the playoffs come calling. Maybe it is Karma for doing what they did to Cleveland. There are spiritual consequences that have to be respected. Of course, the Ravens have won the Super Bowl so maybe there is no justice for the people of Cleveland. Life is shit. But the Browns will own that shit. There is a joke here about the Browns and shit but I am too sophisticated to make it.

 

The Bengals and the Browns both got better, and the Ravens are always going to be up there, but the fucking Steelers are wide open to be taken down I think. Rapist QB will finally get broken and then it’s just a feeding frenzy as the new kids take control of the division.

 

AFC South

 

Uh, Houston is a fucking dumpster fire. Deshaun Watson apparently has sex predded the entire massage game down in Houston. Just slapping his dick all over the place. He probably isn’t even going to play this season once the NFL goons get to him. The dude is like a serial predator, which I don’t think the Texans want as their image. JJ Watt has fled the scene and the whole thing is just a nasty fucking business. The dude is basically just running around exposing himself to anyone and everyone. He’s a goddamn monster.

 

lol that’s one way to build a franchise I guess. Of course, Urban Meyer down in Jacksonville is going to take his Aaron Hernandez enabling ass to horrible places. He drafted Trevor Lawrence and he is going to get that kid hooked on something terrible, probably sex predation, and then he’s got his old buddy Tim Tebow trying out at tight end, and Urban Meyer is so dark a figure and now he has no boundaries, no NCAA shit hanging over his head, he is just going to be given the power of hedonist island, and he is gonna do some bonkers shit. And let’s not forget, the Jags owners are also wrapped up in pro wrestling. I mean this could get super dark.

 

So, half the division is a sex pred playground, which leaves the Colts and Titans to figure out who is gonna win this disgusting division. The Colts traded for Carson Wentz which is a poor choice. He is a Philly reject and I think Frank Reich thinks he can fix him, but it’s a gamble. You don’t normally want to take another team’s failure and make it your franchise shot.

 

So, that leaves the Titans with their strong running game and the miracle that is Ryan Tannehill, who after all this fucked up degeneracy, is probably the best QB in the division. Houston needs to be walled off like in the Army of the Dead, just let that zombie freak Houston culture eat itself. Jacksonville is primed for some degeneracy and the Colts are trying to resurrect a Philadelphia failure demon. It isn’t a good scene.

 

 

AFC West

 

 

Obviously, the Chiefs remain the kingpins here, but the Chargers might be able to fight fire with Justin Herbert and an offensive line that they have built to protect him. Of course, none of it will matter because nobody likes the Chargers. They have no fanbase. They are in LA as a second team and LA folks don’t even bother with the first team. They are nomads, left San Diego, and probably should have been the new Las Vegas team.

 

Of course, there is already a Las Vegas team, and I have spent thousands of words shitting on them. I should probably write a separate piece on the Las Vegas Raiders because there is so much meat to work with.

 

But for now, let’s just deal with the Raiders who could challenge KC or who could collapse in an ocean of their own bile. Gruden is a team builder. But, I mean, the dude did commentary for damn near 20 years so who fucking knows what he can do for the Raiders. He and Mike Mayock are drafting dudes who nobody else even wants to fuck with. It’s like they are building a team from decades old.

 

But fuck the Raiders, who have stomped all over the passion of its own fans, they deserve a horrific death in the desert.

 

But the big elephant in the room is The Devil himself, Aaron Rodgers. And the Denver Broncos are primed to trade for him, which spins this division on its head. It almost has to happen, right? Maybe that’s just me wanting him out of my division. If The Devil is let loose in Denver, young Mahomes is going to have to beg help from the angels.

 

Rodgers is second to Brady when it comes to the fire time and even if young Mahomes has all the skills, it won’t matter because The Devil always gets his way.

 

So that’s the AFC West, which is still Kansas City strong even if those fucking people are the dirt worst, insane idiots following Q to some white orgy of the mind.
