It’s Wednesday, December 3rd, and Norm is just wondering why the NFL insists on giving us a Thursday night matchup between two teams clinging to the playoff picture like a wet paper towel on a ceiling fan. Cowboys vs. Lions: one has momentum, the other has medical bills. One’s getting healthier, the other’s putting half their offense on IR. And yes—both somehow still have a shot at the postseason.

Norm breaks down just how desperate this “Survival Bowl” really is, why Detroit looks like a MASH unit, and why Dallas might accidentally stumble into relevance again. Then he pivots to the SEC, where Lane Kiffin is doing what Lane Kiffin always does: saying his “heart” is in Oxford while packing his bags for Baton Rouge and taking half the campus with him. Prayer? Please. Kiffin made his mind up before the postgame Gatorade dried.

It’s snark, it’s football, it’s Norm not buying a single ounce of coach-speak. Enjoy.
