Well to start you off on this open thread here's some more B.S. from ESPN, and particularly the fat has been known as John Kruk. I'll leave you with this line from the article and you can decide if you want to read it or not: "Which of the teams likely headed to the playoffs have the most to figure out in the next two weeks?
