My 11th grade math teacher used the same joke every Thursday. It was like clockwork. “Hey guys, I’m so happy it’s Thursday. Get it? S.H.I.T.” Ahhh, yes. For the rest of the year, we will all be so happy it’s Thursday because we get to watch a mediocre football game. It’s still better than the MLS Playoffs. This week the Raiders visit the Chargers with the right to be eliminated on Wild Card Weekend at stake. The subplots are several! How many interceptions will Carson Palmer throw? Eight? Nine? Will Phil Rivers be the first player in NFL history to murder one of his teammates? How many times will the announcers mention that Antonio Gates played basketball in college? We’re all so happy to make some picks. I hope they’re not all the same! Bud Light, here we go…
