The only thing more confusing than figuring out the NFL playoff picture is figuring out where and when we are supposed to do our shopping these days.
Let's see, there was Black Friday, which started right about when Luke Kuechly intercepted his first pass of the Panthers-Cowboys game Thursday. Black Friday is when our nation's shoppers all rush out to the big-box stores together so they can complain on Facebook about the crowds.
Then there is Small Business Saturday, when you buy a tea cozy for Aunt Eunice at the House of Doilies on Merchant Street and figure it balances out the $1,800 you spent at the mall Friday.
