Meaningful Temple Football is on right now, seasoned up with some snowflakes falling on the field, and the Flyers have a Black Friday matinee game against the Sabres. I absolutely love that they this game. I already feel like people who shop on Black Friday are more deranged than savvy, and the Flyers reward this thinking by incentivizing not leaving the house. I'm left with the rare combinati...

Just like the players on the ice, most of us fans just want to move on and think about something else. They got smoked by the Sharks, 4-1, at home. There you have it.
