Football Cat’s Week 18 NFL Picks 2026

Happy New Year to all who celebrate!

Happy Mew Year

From the home office in Nashua New Hampshire, the Top 10 Cat New Year’s resolutions for 2026

  • 10. Stop knocking things off the table… before making eye contact.
    9. Learn what “no” means — and continue to ignore it.
    8. Sit on warm laptops instead of freshly folded laundry. (Maybe)
    7. Eat food more slowly so humans stop accusing me of “inhaling.”
    6. Meow at 3 a.m. with a clearer sense of purpose.
    5. Fit into boxes without questioning physics.
    4. Respect personal space — primarily my own.
    3. Pretend to be grateful when receiving gifts I absolutely hate.
    2. Reduce judgmental staring to under 14 hours a day.
    1. Finally reveal why I do anything… just kidding!

12/31/2025 Cleaning Out the Sports Junk Drawer

Yep. That’s a hat all right.

Little Jonathan and Dummy Mayo should have had to drive around Greater Boston and hand out hats and tee shirts door to door.

Where was Chloe the dog when all this was allegedly happening?

I watch “Patriots All-Access” every week solely to see how disgusting Zo looks.

Love getting sucked in watching these late Bruins games and being more miserable.

There are (at least) two other humans named “Efton Chism”?!?

Pats are officially all the way back. Dominating Sports page and the Inside Track.

You’ve fallen into the BBWAA’s clever trap to get people talking about baseball at the end of December! Take some laps.

Why are Notre Dame fans mad at BYU?

Sandy Koufax (90), Tiger Woods (50) and LeBron James (41) all celebrated birthdays yesterday. I’m not into Astrology, but I’d like to hear what some student of the stars could tell me about that phenomenon.

Cakes are cooking for Anthony Hopkins, Alex Ferguson, Andy Summers, Ben Kingsley, Taylor Hackford, Barbara Carrera, Diane von Furstenburg, Burton Cummings, Tim Matheson, Bob Gilder, Tom Hamilton, James Remar, Jane Badler, Bebe Neuwirth, Paul Westerberg, Rick Aguilera, Scott Ian, Paula Barbieri, Brent Barry, Joey McIntyre, Psy, Jason Campbell, Denée Benton, Ryan Blaney, and Gabby Douglas.

PFF numbers are complete and utter fake news. Everyone knows this right?

I’d watch an Uncrustables Bowl.

Somali day care owners in Minnesota think CLNS is a scam.

It’s a good problem to still get worked up when this Celtics team loses winnable road games.

Hey there gang Of very with It pop culture experts! This week’s Phrase that Pays is, “Cardamom B is my favorite Spice Girl.”

Somebody get Cox Media Group and Verizon Fios TV in a room.

My brother took our Dad to the phlebotomist at Gillete Monday am and saw Hollins walk in. Had a bad feeling when he told me.

You also know the Patriots are back when any matchup would be “bad news for the Patriots” according to the scribes.

Dondy’s gonna open his fill-in spot tomorrow with Greatest Stranglings in Sports History.

Blue Line: Delays of about 10 minutes while a maintenance train inspects the overhead wires between Airport and Wonderland. Trains may stand by at stations.

Rich Eisen is the worst. Was Dennis Miller not available?

It’s pretty cool that all of the men and women who work at Barstool have massive tits.

CeCe Peniston had another song?

Best Christmas ever. Had Kowloon with the boy and Nigeria was bombed.

I love a free Snoop Dogg concert during the game. But they hardly ever have a free football game at a concert.

The Patriots beat more women than Martina Navratilova.

Sunisa Lee is my favorite NFR photographer.

Doug Drabek had a better prime than Andy Pettitte did.

I’m so stressed out that I DMed someone to ask if they wanted to see my bologna and now I’m worried I might have been a creep.

All lesbians are Irish-coded, so I’m ok with them being firefighters.

I’m sure Diggs is a total dickhead to be around but I’m also sure every other text on his phone reads something like “is you high bitc”

Chris Broussard looks like Eddie Murphy when he wore whiteface.

Wow, Bert Bell thought an NFL team could have success in one of the biggest cities in America? One with an existing 90,000+ seat football stadium? What a visionary.

In Diggs’s defense, have you ever met a chef? Some of the most egotistical psychos you’ll ever meet. Look at Jen Royle, for chrissakes!

Every chick looks better with the ponytail through the baseball hat. #facts

Do any religions recognize pop tarts as valid sacrifices?

I’m very disappointed this team the media characterized as being a bunch of no-names, cast-offs, reclamation projects and bargain bin finds is probably going to miss out on the #1 playoff seeding due to a tiebreaker.

Meanwhile, in the Bills Mafia Twilight Zone episode, they learn that the only thing that can wedge their championship window open for another season is an undamaged folding table.

Honk if you remember the movie Bill Murray and John Candy co-starred in.

‘Efton Chism’ sounds like a mild oath someone’s aunt might use instead of profanity.

Imagine being proud of yourself or having fun.

You know you’re playing in a prestigious college bowl game when it starts at 11 AM.

Don’t want to close my eyes
I don’t want to fall asleep
‘Cause I’d miss you, baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing
‘Cause even when I dream of you (even when I dream)
The sweetest dream would never do
I’d still miss you, baby
And I don’t want to miss a thing.

Belichick did it right and got the guys a flophouse for when things got heated.

The US Juniors Squad seems to be good.

Should we start a rumor that McConnell called Walsh a cancer patient? Let us know in the comments.

Q. Game time temp is 55 degrees, why are all the in sportz ladies wearing gloves and winter hats? A. It’s cute cozy SZN. Also, broads get cold very easily.

25 years of not giving a tinker’s fig about who wins the NFL MVP comes in real handy right about now.

What do you mean what do I need night vison goggles for? To see in the dark! Duh!

Pour one out for the hip hop artists and such that we lost in 2025: DJ Unk, Irv Gotti, Gene “Groove” Allen, G$ Lil Ronnie, Lotto Savage, Sayso P, Jemini The Gifted One, Young Scooter, and Young Noble. Some at the top of their profession, others mid-process of turning their lives around. Tragic either way.

How fast can Barmore start dating Nicki Minaj?

Every time I see “retread coach” I think it says, well, you know.

Sometimes the Falcons play good, sometimes they don’t.

I will say, the thermostat can cause a lot of issues in a house. Not making excuses.

Rodney Harrison is more worthy of enshrinement in Canton than the majority of those finalists this year. Laughable.

Best bet for the weekend: Patriots fans waiting for a third shoe to fall.

We say farewell to both 2025 and legendary French actress Bridgette Bardot. Ooh, and might I add, La La.

Material from interviews, wire services, Twitter, Meta, other writers, league and team sources, Joe Giza, and the members of #the15 were used in this column. Colored lights can hypnotize.

And happy birthday to Chinese-born actress Gong Li.

Football Cat’s Week 17 NFL Picks 2025

As it turns out, Football Cat was making rather merry yesterday, and is in no condition to make picks this week. But fear not! Other the15net.com adjacent animals have graciously stepped up to fill the void. Football Cat will be back next week, tanned and rested, and ready to ring in the New Year.

A poor excuse for picking a dog’s pocket every twenty fifth of December!

Jocko doesn’t like the Black Cats

Warren Dull’s second stepfather’s neighbor’s nephew’s grandmother once had a budgie that got eaten by her bridge partner’s cat. The stripey cats do the same to the pretty red birds.

Trouble brewing

Steelers (-3) at Browns
The Cleveland Pig will be drowning her sorrows at the feeding trough

The Ozempic has done wonders for her

Kenny the pet bee thinks the Jags swarm the Colts. Indy better have extra epee pens on hand.

12/24/2025 Cleaning Out the Sports Junk Drawer

Build a snowfort with a sally port at Snowport!

Thank you to our partner, Karma Asian Fusion, for providing a delicious holiday sushi lunch to the local collaborative today!

You’d think the 40 pounds of cold weather gear Lamar was wearing might also have protected him from injury.

No offense, but I have no interest in hearing about which items are not on people’s bingo cards. Also, I had no idea so many people played bingo.

It’s almost like Joe Mazulla is a good coach and Brad Stevens is good at finding overachieving role players.

Ann Michael Maye should do follow up TikToks where she cleans up the Bakemas mess she made in her kitchen.

Take a few days off, Bruins. It’s needed.

It doesn’t matter what NFL teams are playing… whenever a starting quarterback goes out with an injury, I just assume Gardner Minshew is coming in to replace him.

Is signing Wilson Contreras smile-worthy?

The athletes do a great job of not hitting fans, usually.

Cakes are cooking for Bob Lobel, Ian Burden, Michael Flynn, Lee Daniels, Carol Vorderman, Jay Wright, Gavin O’Connor, Jay Bilas, Mary Ramsey, Mark Valley, Deidrich Bader, Ricky Martin, Stephenie Meyer, Ryan Seacrest, and Riyo Mori.

My favorite Christmas movie is the one where they use Darlene Love during a montage.

George Pickens will make a ton of NIL money in the Transfer Portal (free agency).

Lifting to slow jams is underrated.

If Mike Tirico was calling the Miracle on Ice, he’d yell out that they still have to beat Finland.

Honestly, at this point everyone should just block Variety. They clearly WANT to spoil the moviegoing experience in advance. They like the engagement. Just mute/block them altogether.

Aita and Fajardo sound like Boston restaurants that closed this year.

Coach Vrabes always looks like he’s trying to remember if he unplugged the iron before he left the house.

Sex crimes aside, the island looks pretty cool.

It’s a tragedy that Jimmy the Greek never got to lay eyes on Derrick Henry.

Hey gang enjoying their time off, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, “That beard must smell like a ferret.”

I love Nike Dri-Fit shirts.

Orange Line: Delays of about 10 minutes due to a signal problem at Jackson. Personnel are on-scene to resolve the problem. Trains may stand by at stations.

Pit Beef isn’t a rapper who just died?

I hadn’t watched GREMLINS in ages. Caught it the other night and realized that’s where QT boosted the ending for INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. (I’m sure it’s been pointed out elsewhere several times.)

I don’t even know why Oprah is in this graphic.

Circling back to my use of CC watching ‘The Wire’, I was unfamiliar with the S1 lingo. It was largely local drug parlance. So I went to subtitles and it informed me in a way that was much better to understand the show. And it’s also done the same for so many others.

I always look forward to the Celtics account’s Injury Report tweets to see if Tatum is still on it.

Tony Dungy looks like Red Skull in a BET version of Captain America.

I just spent an obscene amount of time explaining to my daughters that the Chiefs’ Kansas City is in Missouri, not Kansas. And now I’ve gotta put the toothpaste back into that tube?!?

Yes, I call individual black men, ‘the brother.’ I’m Richard Roundtree.

Brooklyn Raines – MLS player or OnlyFans porn star?

I could have been someone
Well so could anyone
You took my dreams from me
When I first found you
I kept them with me babe
I put them with my own
Can’t make it all alone
I’ve built my dreams around you,

The boys of the NYPD choir
Still singing Galway Bay
And the bells are ringing out
For Christmas day.

Not a bad time to catch up on podcasts and Taylor Sheridan TV shows.

2026 can’t get here fast enough…2025 absolutely sucks…of all the shitty stuff this year, the icing on the cake is apparently Dollar Tree no longer carries the Animal Crackers I am addicted to.

I’ve never seen an Asian broad with nice teeth.

Our Boston sports family will learn the hard way. Every single one of them.

Yhoiker Fajardo is both a great and terrible name.

Honk if you remember the Bruins going over the dasher and into the stands at Madison Square Garden.

Darryl Johnston does not shut the fuck up.

A wild Home Alone fact. The Christmas film came out in 1991 and was such a hit in Europe that “Kevin” became the most popular baby name in France, Germany and Netherlands for a few years.

That Corona “O Christmas Tree” whistling ad gets my dog’s attention every time.

Happy Festivus to all the losers and haters.

Best bet for the weekend: Wasabi. Fenway. Bowl.

Why can’t we get associated with holidays like that?

Material from interviews, wire services, Twitter, Meta, other writers, league and team sources, Joe Giza, and the members of #the15 were used in this column. Merry Christmas, ya filthy animal.

And a Merry Christmas from actress/singer Taylor Momsen, seen here wearing her old Cindy Lou Who costume from ‘How The Grinch Stole Christmas‘.

12/17/2025 Cleaning Out the Sports Junk Drawer

Two goals in one game. Pretty good. Is a hattie for Geekie in the future?

They used to have cool pregame montages before big games on TV.

Biff Poggi is a tremendous Star Wars name.

Imagine how sore Phil Rivers is this morning. Damn. And there’ll be somebody reminding him, “it’s always worse the second day!”

Bummed the NBA cup is over, I really enjoyed not having games to watch.

I know America is back because I’m watching a white linebacker named “Jack.”

If Buddy Cianci was still Mayor, this guy would have been caught within a couple hours. Figure it out.

Holy cow. What a tragedy. Pray for Mahomes.

Do you think Donnie Wahlberg has a red phone that TV producers call when they need a Boston-themed gameday promo?

Ann Michael Maye make your husband as many peppermint chocolate cookies as he WANTS.

Cakes are cooking for Chris Matthews, Ernie Hudson, Eugene Levy, Wes Studi, James Alexander, Paul Rodgers, Ken Hitchcock, Barry Livingston, Bill Pullman, Peter Farrelly, Mike Mills, Tammie Green, Michele Tafoya, Craig Berube, Vincent Damphousse, Curtis Pride, Chuck Liddell, DJ Homicide, Claire Forlani, Tony Richardson, Laurie Holden, Rian Johnson, Giovonni Ribisi, Duff Goldman, Sarah Paulson, Milla Jovovich, Takeo Spikes, Arnaud Clement, Alex Cintrón, Chase Utley, Manny Pacquiao, Neil Sanderson, Jaimee Foxworth, Ryan Hunter-Reay, David Longstreth, and Nat Wolff.

Yeah, bro. Just add 3 MPH to your fastball.

Hey gang, this week’s Phrase that Pays is, “Let’s not disparage big floppy tits.”

Coach Drip should take the ‘72 Lombardi out and drag it out around the parking lot from a rope tied to his car.

Nick Wright looks like he’d challenge Indiana Jones to a scimitar duel.

Blue Line: Delays of about 10 minutes while a maintenance train inspects the overhead wires between Airport and Wonderland. Trains may stand by at stations.

An ACL tear is a sprained knee as a stroke is a headache.

This part of the calendar is hysterical. Half the days I’m using up my PTO and the other ones, my calendar is so empty that I’m sitting around diagramming new drills to run in my practices.

Carlton Davis III has returned to the game (fourth quarter, 9:55).

Congratulations to the New York Knicks for winning the NBA Emirates Cup. As far as made-up awards from an ethically dubious outfit, it’s no FIFA Peace Prize.

Had no idea there was a Utah NHL team. Been living under a rock I guess.

Honk if you remember where they serve meat in Melrose.

Just heard a radio commercial for a water filtration system. The woman doing the V/O says “it’s echo friendly” as in An echo that goes hello, hello…..isnt it pronounced eeeeeco(eco)? these are the things that keep me up these days……ugh.

Mentho-Lyptus!

Carlton Davis reminds me so much of Browner. Hope he doesn’t try to kill his girlfriend in a few years.

Decide yourself if radio’s gonna stay
Reason it could polish up the gray
Put that, put that, put that up your wall
That this isn’t country at all
Radio station decide yourself

Keep me out of country and the word
Wheel of fortune’s leading us absurd
Push that, push that, push that to the floor
That this isn’t nothing at all
Straight off the boat, where to go

Calling out in transit
Calling out in transit
Radio Free Europe (Radio)

Weather app tells me it feels like Drake Maye’s uniform number outside right now. I wish it felt like his completion percentage.

Families allow you to spend time with people you would otherwise never associate with.

How does Adam Jones not get punched every day?

Perhaps a boost the Bearcats need as Jizzle James returns to the basketball roster.

I swear Cena is having his 5th “last match” in a 3-month span.

Ann Michael Maye likes baking, and terrariums, and firetrucks, and hugs.

For seasonal home decorations, The Nightmare Before Christmas is really the way to go. Put them up early October when it’s still nice out and let it ride all the way through New Year’s.

Chloe the German Shepherd a suspect yet in that Hollywood double murder?

Fun Fact: Winning the NBA Cup qualifies the Knicks for the 2026 CONCACAF Champions League.

Eh, Patriots just got the Michael Gee Memorial pre-playoff loss out of the way.

Selling the Pittsburgh Penguins means FSG can focus of the Red Sox again. Right?

Best bet for the weekend: throwing all the records out the window when JMU takes on Oregon.

Congratulations to Bianca de la Garza on being recognized as Dame of the House of Savoy in the August family of chivalric orders. There is nuthin’ like a dame.

Material from interviews, wire services, Twitter, Meta, other writers, league and team sources, Joe Giza, and the members of #the15 were used in this column. Rock and Roll fantasy.

And happy birthday to Canadian actress Katheryn Winnick.
