NFL 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.)

“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 although a good Mexican salsa also works well) and serve with crackers. Smoked gouda. Or the aged gouda we used to be able to get at our local cheesemonger, which had a nice nutty taste.

Where were we? Oh, yeah. The Packers. And this week’s TMQ after the jump…

I 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.
