Greetings from the sports desk located somewhere below decks of the Good Pirate Ship RedState. Sammy the Shark and Karl the Kraken have resumed their regular duties keeping you abreast of the latest developments …
Or the latest available flavors of fish crackers.
Anyway, the first round of NFL playoffs is complete. Save for fans of one or more of the six teams that won, the games were, except for the Washington Commanders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, rather dreary one-sided affairs. In this regard, the pros greatly mimicked the semipros, otherwise known as college football playoffs, where the first round of the 2024-2025 postseason was one to forget. Unless you like your football lopsided.
Thankfully, there were the Commanders and the Buccaneers to entertain us, taking turns trading leads and securing ties until a last-second field goal try by Washington…
