His father's picks for the 2014 regular-season finale are upcoming, but a few things real quick ... I've got a favorite new hobby: Watching the original broadcasts of old NFL games. Before Sunday's game between Dallas vs. DC, you can join me & Elliot Harrison as we hash through the best moments of CBS's coverage Taylor Gauthier Jersey of the 1982 NFC Championship Game between the two bitter rivals. Go to hear the magnificent duo of Summerall & Madden, stay to see the ridiculous fashions that dominated the early '80s. Football nerds and/or pop culture aficionados are gonna love this ... almost as much as I do.I'm neither the Grinch nor the Scrooge. It gives me no pleasure to say this, fans ... but something is plainly wrong with . The numbers over the last month-and-a-half tell the tale of the future first-ballot r's recent struggles, but you don't need to Google 'em if you've watched Denver play of late. Yes, the guy who's been haunted by that Old Man Winter & Mother Nature power couple in too many Januarys now seems to have a new nemesis: Father Time.

Had KC won that game, the would've made the postseason. Jump to this Sunday: If the can beat (this time in Arrowhead), they'll once again earn a playoff spot. If they lose, the will get that six-seed ... unle s they can't beat the ' third-string QB .Sure, the would love to take the AFC North crown on Sunday night, but -- as our pal David Todd points out -- it'd be a costly win come the 2015. If win Sun their away schedule in 2015 is a monster: 3 in division + Sea, StL, SD, KC, NE. Ouch. David Todd (@DavidMTodd) By the way, if the , and win, one of the AFC's two wild-card matchups will be Baltimore at Pittsburgh. Three words for that: "ooh", "la" and "la."Great fun kibitizing with DC Sackmaster on the DD Football Program this week.

WATCH | Washington Redskins (@Redskins) Amidst a bunch of games with playoff implications, I'm gonna be sure to make time to watch some of the at Vikes game.
