What is a Siberian Splashdown? That's a rocket that reenters earth and the chute doesn't deploy and instead of water you hit a 20 foot slab of ice at 147.8 miles per hour. Lots of friction on the reentry, so the ship is pretty hot and the ice melts almost fast enough for it to be a "splash" but not quite.
Anyway, that is how about half the NFL will end the season in these final two weeks.
Cleveland has another chance to clinch, 49ers will definitely not win any more games so they are still in the hunt for worst record of 2016, and several middle of the pack teams such as Tampa Bay and Washington are poised for epic "splashdowns."
And so, the frozen turkey spins while the elves sing in Santa's workshop, and here are Christmas predictions in NFL Week 17!

Gentlemen, make your predictions!
you got some high scores, there, 'Fish. You know, we get to convene the NW Basement crew this Saturday, so that's cool.
ReplyDeleteYes, a very football Christmas!
DeleteI...I can't pick the Bears to beat anybody that has more than 6 victories.
ReplyDeleteI agree, but the frozen turkey spoke. How about the Lambs? I can't in good conscience pick them to beat a team that has won even one game. But, again, the turkey spoke!
DeleteThe only team the Whiners have beaten in the last 18 games are the Rams. 10 of the last 13 seasons, it's been the Rams or Niners at the bottom of the NFC West. The inside term for life at the Rams facility is "Rams Junior High."
ReplyDeleteSince the Niners can't do anything right, they'll win the game on Saturday, nixing their chance to be the worst 49er team ever. That would be fitting.
ReplyDeleteWhines are going down (up?) on this one. The Lambs are a rudderless ship. They will tank hard here. John Gruden for head coach!
