We have our first sports firings of 2012: Steve Spagnuolo and Billy Devaney of the St. Louis Rams.
2-14 this season, and they didn’t even get the first pick in the draft. Spagnuolo was 10-38 over three years.

Tuesday, December 20th, 2011Oh, look! TMQ got us a Christmas present. To quote John Gruber (who is actually quoting Norm MacDonald): “Happy birthday, Jesus. Hope you like crap.”
After the jump, what we’ve been dreading all year…
Your loser update: week 15.
Sunday, December 18th, 2011What a sorry ass-day in the NFL.
The Colts won, so no chance of an 0-16 team this year.
The Packers lost, which means that we’ll have to suffer through Gregg Easterbrook knowingly and willfully running his false Microsoft Word Autotext item about the G–d—n 1972 Miami Dolphins again.
It is enough to drive a guy to drink. Fortunately, I have a Shiner Holiday Cheer in the fridge to drown my sorrows with.
The Pack is back, baby.
Tuesday, December 13th, 2011Apropos to the comment in this week’s TMQ Watch, “Huts Spencer”, one of our awesome readers, sent us a link to local news coverage of this year’s Packers shareholders meeting.
Thank you, sir!

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011Before we start in on this week’s TMQ, we wanted to throw up a link to this fine article on the University of Alaska Fairbanks rifle team. Shall Not Be Questioned linked this yesterday, but we didn’t get around to reading the article until we started prepping this week’s TMQ Watch. Now that we have, we commend it to your attention.
And now the jump…
7-10 split.
Monday, December 12th, 2011Miami Dolphins drop Tony Sparano, at least according to speculation. We should be about 30 minutes into that 4:15 press conference.
No longer the Chief.

Monday, December 12th, 2011NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:
Indianapolis
A few notes: someone pointed out to us yesterday that Indy is just engaged in “sucking for Luck”; that is, they’re deliberately tanking the season in hopes of getting a first round the number one draft choice. We agree that this is probably the case: but all the Loser Update is intended to be, is a tally of who has a shot at going 0-16. Motivations aren’t a factor in the LU.
Secondly, we owe Lawrence $100. However, the link he posted says nothing about the Texans clinching the playoff berth. Here’s a better one.
Thirdly, this is only tangentially related to the loser update, but we’ve been threatening to link it all weekend: Elektrosjokkfotball. Basically, imagine two teams of Swedes playing soccer, where all the players (and the ref) are wearing shock collars, and the two observers/commentators have the controls. (I can’t tell for sure, but there may also have been alcohol involved.) I’d watch a lot more soccer if it was like this. (Push the “CC” button for English subtitles. Hattip: TJIC on the Twitter.)

Tuesday, December 6th, 2011“What’s the secret of Packers’ success?”
Here at WCD, we believe the secret of the Packers’ success is…cheese. We are firm believers in the awesome power of cheese. No holiday for us is complete without a port wine cheese ball, one of the traditional foods of our people. It fills us with delight that our neighborhood grocer is selling gourmet cheese balls. A favorite quick and dirty appetizer in the circles we move in is: take a block of cream cheese, pour a nice sauce over it (something like this Raspberry Chipolte Sauce
Where were we? Oh, yeah. The Packers. And this week’s TMQ after the jump…

Tuesday, November 29th, 2011TMQ is back. So are we. After the jump…
Hit the road, Jack.
Tuesday, November 29th, 2011I saw reports early this morning, but wanted to wait for the official announcement.
Jack Del Rio out as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
And the team is being sold to the same guy who tried to purchase the Rams last year.
The new owner, according to reports, plans to keep the team in Jacksonville. I am curious how long that will last.
