- Had the NFL season ended after last week 13, my Minnesota Vikings were the #7 (and final) seed in the NFC playoffs. Alas, there were still four games to be played.
With Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Vikes are now on the outside looking in with regards to the playoffs. However, the focus of their loss to the Bucs was on the ineptitude of kicker Dan Bailey. Despite being one of the more accurate kickers in NFL history, Bailey has been plagued with the "yips" of late, as he missed his only extra point attempt and all three field goal tries on Sunday. Over the past two weeks, he's 1 for 4 in extra points and 2 for 6 in FGs.
Given the Vikes' recent history of woefully timed kicking mishaps (see: Anderson, Gary and Walsh, Blair), fellow Vikings fan John Kriesel (who lost both his legs while in combat in Iraq) had this to say after Sunday's debacle.
The Vikings kicking game is legitimately the only PTSD I suffer from.

Yikes.
- So the Cleveland Indians baseball team is dropping their 105-year old nickname.
If you're asking my opinion as to what their new nickname should be, I'm thinking it's one which comes with a readymade team anthem.
- It's official. Joe Biden is President-elect of the United States.
In light of this, the focus shifted to President Donald Trump and his continued refusal to concede the election. If I were Trump and some smarmy media person asked me about my lack of a concession, I would just answer with "Whatta ya talkin' about? My concession speech was the exact one used by Stacey Abrams."
