NFL Playoffs set.
Interesting notes: for the second year in a row, a team has won their division without having a winning record. And of the 6 teams in the AFC with a winning record, half of them are in the AFC North.

Shunsuke Nakamura shoots through the window of a moving bus.
Nakamura is a former Celtic player who got bored with all the shite that surrounds Scottish football and went back to Japan to actually play the game.

I thought you meant him jumping out of the Celtic match coach
That is an incredible shot though, I doubt I could hit the bus at all.

English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."

I did something like that when I was in Primary School...I kicked the ball over the school fence (I was aiming at the goal!) and it landed in a passing dumper truck and we lost the ball. I think I got quite badly beaten up by the other players.

New England beats Denver, 45-10. Tim Tebow threw 9/26, 136 yards, sacked 5 times. In response to his epic fail of a performance, the world's 2.2 billion Christians immediately left the faith.

After finishing the season 2-14, the Indianapolis Colts have fired head coach Jim Caldwell. Needed to be done, even if the bulk of the responsibility for the failed season rests on the GM and back office.
