In the vein of this article and the recent slate of stories I've seen about QB's buying their O-Linemen presents, if Aaron Rodgers were to buy his O-Line presents what do you think they would be? I know we're all tired of Rodgers-centered articles but I saw the headline "Aaron Rodgers buys his linemen Christmas presents" I would click the link in a second just to see what insanity has taken place...

This is an article that needs writing. Or maybe crowd sourcing. That or whatever fragrance each HC needs ala "Eau de Campbell".

I like the fragrance idea! "Eau de Campbell" would totally be one of those typical leather/mahogany/whiskey deals you always see but with an element of something spicy (to correspond to the wild fourth down calls and the big-man plays). So like a cherry bourbon kind of deal, or maybe with an orange kick. I'd buy it.

I might actually pay to see a Dan Skipper - Penei Sewell double reverse. I would expect it to be epic whatever the outcome.

Even if it resulted in a ten-yard loss, I would still applaud the creativity/insanity.

There should be a Christmas Exception to trade deadline. The good players on languishing teams get sent to contenders. Everyone's happy! Except the families of players.

The gift for Dolphins fans hits way too close to home. Still, I couldn't help but laugh and share it with a few of my fellow long-suffering Fins fans. Sitting a game under .500, needing to win the final two and bunch of unlikely help to back into a Wildcard is an all-too familiar place over these past 15-plus years.

I realized this year that the Gift of the Magi isn't perfectly symmetric dramatic irony because the woman's hair will eventually grow back but the guy's watch is gone forever.

As for Arthur Smith talking about an old pick-up truck's reliability, he obviously never owned one. I did, as well as a beater Jeep, and a beater Ford. Back in the salad days. Always an adventure. And boy is this Packers fan happy that the 49ers won't be in the playoffs this season!
