NFL Wild Card Weekend -- Nazareth, live from Philadelphia

[Cosmo]

The Packers become the first team since the Reformation of 2002 to go 1-5 in their intradivision play and make the playoffs. That's a beastly triumvirate in the NFC North. Best division ever by record outside the group.

Not coincidentally, the NFC North drew the AFC South this year. The only AFC South wins were the Texans and Colts beating the Bears.

They have two fields at Allegiant. Grash for the Raiders, turf for UNLV.

From what I saw this year, UNLV's field included end zones, the Raiders' didn't.

There is next to no chance the NFL doesn't figure out a way to exploit the wildfires for its purposes by playing that game as scheduled.

Not only playing it, but in Inglewood. With lots of tickets for first responders (at a reduced cost, of course).

Reduced cost? Oh, I guess that means they'll only be about $500 apiece then.

Not at all. Take a look at ticketmaster for the game. You can get in for a (relative) song.

Take a look at what is for sale currently. Looks like half the stadium is for sale. Not a good look for Rams.

With the Raiders, there was no need.

I'm guessing people might have other things on their mind in LA these days?
