Regarding for whom to root in the NLF postseason, with a taxonomy of football nicknames.

6 years after I pointed out that birds don't win.

"For whom to root?" That may be correct in the strictest, most prescriptivist sense, but it remains something up with I shall not put.

I love the National Liberation Front's postseason. The uniforms are awesome.

Scooped the NYT sports page? You'd have to be from Chicago to think there are bragging rights involved with that.

I belong to the National Front for Liberation. Die, heretic!

That article was awful. Also, the Chargers should be in the beast category, not the thing category.

You have to be careful with those NYT guys...they have a lot of time to sit around and read.

@6 If the Chargers still had a horse logo, maybe, but the electrical bolt stuff makes 'em a thing. Like you use for your cell phone, I suppose.

But do you still take pride of ownership in this comment, " that Seattle is not a real city. It's a paltry imitation of a big city that wishes it were Paris, but isn't even Des Moines. Iowa, that is. Real city dwellers don't have to hate other cities, since they're secure in their own place and its values." ? Really? Very quick turn of hypocrisy there, Chicago brother.
