During the rest of the season, look for me, The SoTG, on wtmy.com or 1280 am locally in Sarastoa, Florida at 4pm with Tom and Mike on the Afternoon Play-by-Play. Also check them out on twitter and let them know you dig the NFL bantor that the 3 of us can make happen @TomKernanWTMY and @MikeFrisina.
Week 14 was a week where a lot of teams had to face the music. The SoTG, Chris, and Weasel are the headliners as Blake Kachman opens the event musically explaining how Jason Garrett may soon be a Foreigner to the NFL with his actions in Week 13.
The Packers and the Niners already cashed in their ticket to the playoffs, but how does the rest of the NFC stack up? Chris sounds off in the latest Rankin’s Rankings.
There are 4 weeks left in the regular season, but if the playoffs started today, here is who would get in:
1. Packers (12-0)
2. Niners (10-2)
3. Saints (9-3)
4. Cowboys (7-5)
5. Bears (7-5)
6. Falcons (7-5)
Others: Lions (7-5), Giants (6-6), Seahawks (5-7), Cardinals (5-7)
One of the SoTG co-hosts, Chris Rankin, is stepping onto the field delivering his predictions for the AFC:
If the Playoffs started this week, here are the AFC teams that would make the playoffs in order:
1 Patriots (9-3)
2 Texans (9-3)
3 Ravens (9-3)
4 Broncos (7-5)
5 Steelers (9-3)
6 Bengals (7-5)
There are 3 teams with 7-5 record on the outside looking in: Titans, Raiders, Jets. There are 4 games left in the season and anything can happen.
Damien McKenna of Bluespark Labs joins Andrew Riley, Ryan Price, and Mike Anello on the 69th edition of the DrupalEasy podcast. They discuss the latest happenings in the Drupal world including Acquia’s rising prominence in the business world, DrupalCon Denver training opportunities, and Drupal 8 (what? really?). As usual, there’s the site of the week (hint -it’s French) and their picks of the week (with a hardware pick!)
Week 13 wasn't so lucky for a few featured teams this time around. The SoTG, Weasel, and Chris point out the misfortune while acknowledge who the winners and losers are as a result.
Overcoming the food hangover to bring you Thanksgiving action, the SoTG, Chris, and Weasel talk up the present and future of the season.
As Thanksgiving night 2011 approached, I was excited. Don’t get me wrong, the Turkey did its job magnificently as the afternoon focus and the wine the In-Laws offer me is always very tasty. But for me I was most excited about desert. Thursday Night Football featuring the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers. What – you expected some speech about Pumpkin Pie?
So it’s the Dallas Cowboys again facing off against some team on Thanksgiving that’s a complete waste of space in a game whose high point is the biggest bully against the inferior opposition they faced being given some festively themed award presented by an overly hyped and under qualified sports personality.
Of all the rituals that are staples of traditional modern Thanksgiving, 2 of them have been a constant (not counting a visit from or to see that weird uncle that’s in ever y family) -- good food and bad football. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that was ever happy to see such players as QB Joey Harrington, QB Jon Kitna, WR Carlos Rogers or WR Mike Williams fail (although it did contribute to some silly jokes for a few family laughs such as that Charlie Batch was sacked like the turkey when mom brought it from the store).
User Experience Designer Lisa Rex joins Andrew Riley, Ryan Price, and Mike Anello in this episode of the podcast to discuss her involvement in the Drupal community, DrupalCon session proposals and sprints, potential interview questions for Drupal developers, and a very brief discussion on the Drupal Security Team’s secret knock. As always, we also have our picks of the week and an especially time-sucking site of the week.
Class sessions continue even with the apporaching T-day holiday. A feast of previewed coverage for the T-day action and of course the leftovers from Week 11. The SoTG, Chris and Weasel are the chefs!!!
The Orlando Film Festival has been around for… almost 7 years now. They started with a few screenings at CityArts Factory and DMAC (Avalon Island) with the promise of moving the the new Plaza Cinema, which took years to open, though it was on the books and mostly built out their first year. Now it is growing into a great event showcasing Downtown Orlando, which we could honestly use more of. Not as large or well-established as their spring counterpart hosted by Enzian, but still a fun and enriching event.

I know Marlon and Jeff of Snapwell Films from their involvement in Urban ReThink – they even produced a promotional video to help us out.
Any NFL fan, be it casual or religious, knows the name of Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow. Forsaken as a guaranteed bust upon his drafting last year; Crucified as a quirky experiment when he was installed for QB Kyle Orton when the struggling Broncos named him the starter; he’s suddenly seen as a Mile-High Messiah going 3-1 as a starter going into this Thursday Night Game, keeping Denver in the hunt for the AFC East Division and revitalizing playoff hopes. However, the one ‘L’ that Tebow has endured was against a solid defense where the Detroit Lions feasted on a Tebow steak during the 45-10 route. This Thursday Night match up against the New York Jets represents the first time Tebow has faced a top-level “D” since. The Jets ‘D’, however, don’t have the same offensive support as the Lions and failed to score. Broncos win 17-13.
Hey everyone. Check out the SoTG on www.wtmy.com at 5 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday on where he calls in to talk to Tom and Mike about NFL action! If you happen to live in the Sarasota, Bradenton, or Venice area in Florida, you can catch it on 1280 AM WTMY.
