So. It has come to this.
(Actually, we just like saying “So. It has come to this.” We’re also fond of “As foretold in the prophecy” and “so let it be written, so let it be done”.)
This week’s TMQ, after the jump…

Wednesday, January 21st, 2015We’re grumpy. Apparently, this is a day ending in “Y”. Let’s just jump right into this week’s TMQ…

Thursday, January 15th, 2015We lost the better part of the day yesterday to jury duty, so we’re late getting this up. We apologize for the convenience.

Tuesday, December 30th, 2014We hope everyone had a good Christmas – or, if you do not celebrate Christmas, a good version of whatever seasonal observance you do celebrate.
In this week’s TMQ, the purge.
No, not that one (though we commend to your attention the “The Purge” episode of “Phil and Lisa Ruin the Movies”), but the annual NFL coaching purge, or as we call it, “Bloody Monday”. After the jump…
TMQ Watch: December 23, 2014.
Wednesday, December 24th, 2014Before we jump into this week’s post-bye TMQ, a tweet from Easterbrook:
JAX TN combined record 4-24 one of worst games in NFL history. so whole nation sees! Most California wont see DAL IND, combined record 20-8.
— Gregg Easterbrook (@EasterbrookG) December 18, 2014
Dear Greggles:
The “whole nation” saw Jacksonville – Tennessee because it was a Thursday night game and the only game on. It may be true that California didn’t get to see Dallas – Indianapolis, but that was a curb stomping; the San Diego – San Francisco and Oakland – Buffalo games were close thrillers.
After the jump, this week’s TMQ. Warning: spoilers ahead for “Ascension”.
TMQ Watch: December 16, 2014.
Tuesday, December 16th, 2014Since we are seeing some activity, mostly around older TMQ Watch items, we thought we’d throw up a general reminder (along with the sash): TMQ is taking a bye this week, and will be back next week.
TMQ Watch: December 9, 2014.
Thursday, December 11th, 2014For reasons we’re not clear on, Lawrence has been giving us a little bit of grief recently about why we continue to write the TMQ Watch. Frankly, we’ve been wondering that ourselves, and the best answer we can come up with is: “Got to. This America, man.”
But it does give us a little bit of pleasure to be able to cross the streams this week:
…and yes I was tossed off the masthead of New Republic by Chris Hedges too! Dear Chris — my Internet column gets 175K unique views/week

TMQ Watch: November 25, 2014.
Wednesday, November 26th, 2014Two of our new favorite things in the world:
- Kickended, an archive of failed Kickstarter projects. And when we say “failed”, we don’t just mean “didn’t meet their goal”; these are projects that attracted no pledges at all.
- The Clickbait Headline Generator. The real genius of this is the “View This as a Fake Website” function.
We actually want to write the “Three Types of Fun You Should Never Have With a Freelance Nurse” article, as we have some ideas for that. Unfortunately, those ideas make us cringe so badly we can’t bring ourselves to start writing.

Tuesday, October 28th, 2014Musical interlude that has nothing to do with this week’s TMQ. We just needed a musical interlude right about now, and we find this particular version of the song haunting. Yes, we’re in a mood.
This week’s column after the jump.
Your loser update: week 8, 2014.
Sunday, October 26th, 2014For various uninteresting reasons, we actually caught the last few minutes of the London game featuring loser favorites, the Detroit Lions. Rarely has “clown shoes” been a more accurate description.
TMQ’s football gods will be insufferable this week.
Tell us how you really feel, Steve.
Sounds like the Texans played well. And the Browns somehow managed not to be a factory of sadness this week. As much as I hate Buffalo, the game against the Jets filled me with glee, mostly because watching them struggle makes me even happier than watching Buffalo lose.
NFL teams that still have a chance to go 0-16:
Oakland
I like the Raiders’ chances. Their next three games are against Seattle, Denver, and San Diego, none of whom should lose to Oakland.
Edited to add:
Detroit held 3 time outs and didnt use any at end of half — game only half over and already the Lions are phoning in.

Heh. Heh. Heh.
