Things have definitely been slow around here, lately–largely due to the offseason doldrums that are going on right now (no matter how we try, we just can’t bring ourselves to write extensively about OTAs and arrest reports.

Good playoff games this weekend, with the Bills getting another chance to beat the Chiefs in postseason. I predict they…
