Happy Friday. Still not a ton of Sports Illustrated people on this app, but I did make a starter pack with some writers and editors who are here. I'll add to it as people arrive ➡️ go.bsky.app/VcPrciv
December 2025 #PHLNYPR!

On the first of every month, I rank 12 PHL/NY teams and pick a winner.

I gave the Eagles a vibes-based deduction, but they’re still ahead of the Phils. Nearly moved up the Knicks. Nets back in the cellar.

Here’s every year dating back to 2012 ➡️

It's 1:30 a.m. and I'm talking myself into the Texans winning the AFC?

The refs should dramatically count down the clock during the 10-second runoff.

Texans, Bills, Chargers and Jags all winning makes the Chiefs’ odds of reaching the playoffs even slimmer than they were after Thursday’s loss.

The internet would have gone crazy for an NFL QB named Brosmer back in like 2013.

I think you kinda just had to be there.

It’s the 40th anniversary season of Super Bowl XX, and the Bears and Patriots currently hold the No. 1 seeds in their respective conferences

Minkah Fitzpatrick pick-two‼️

And SNF and MNF don't look great either. Paying a price for stacking the Thursday/Friday windows (and creating a Black Friday window out of thin air a few years ago).
Aside from Rams/Panthers (which is not exactly a marquee matchup) this might be one of the grosser 1pm windows I've witnessed.

Jags-Titans exposing the fun loophole that if you have already roughed the passer, you can then commit unnecessary roughness to your heart’s content.

I also probably should have said, like, look at the other names on this list(!)
Davante Adams is only the fifth player with 3 seasons of 14+ receiving TDs

Still only two 🐙 all season, though Wake Forest and Fresno State both had one yesterday

Jaguars 15 - Titans 3

Q2 15:00

You know what they say: The NFC South doesn’t really begin until after Thanksgiving

Fantastic amount of snow coming down in Michigan-Ohio State right now. Fantastic.

If the Panthers win the NFC South, they are destined for the infamous Saturday afternoon wild-card slot.

(Seahawks body clock game?? Not sure if 4:30 ET counts.)

40,000+ tweets and this is BY FAR my worst one.

Now in for the Bucs:

Choking this game away would be very disrespectful to the kelly greens

A.J. Brown revenge game. Not against the Cowboys, just sort of against everyone.

“Here comes Playoff Mahomes” – Tony Romo, just now

Jameis Winston, wearing No. 19, looking like a wide receiver on his way to the end zone. (Sort of!)

Ball guy has to be sick he didn't make the clean catch here
Evan McPherson drills a new career-long 63-yarder!
