Note From the Author: Due to the annual December tradition of spitting in the face of the gods by staging NFL games on a Saturday, this week’s Football Things preview column is actually a crossover—like The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones, or my unpublished manuscript about the Transformers and the Go-Bots joining forces to battle internet piracy. Below are elements from my two weekly columns: the pre-game Football Things and the post-game Sunday FreakOut.
Ergo, before getting to the Sunday action, please enjoy this miniaturized Saturday FreakOut.
