A few brief thoughts on NFL Week 12

And now this week's edition of The NFL In So Many Words, the unmitigated gall-ish Blob feature of which critics have said "Why, the unmitigated gall of this feature!", and less harsh critics have said "I don't know. I think the gall here is pretty well mitigated.":

1. "Please. Help me. I'm being held hostage by a bunch of idiots. Aaron."

2. (Message found in an empty water bottle on the visitor's sideline Sunday night in U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.)

3. "Please. Help us. We're being held hostage by a football team that CAN'T EVEN COMPETE WITH THE STUPID BROWNS."

4. (Message found scrawled on a torn Bengals banner in the stands Sunday in Paul Brown Stadium. Also scrawled on the banner: "BITE ME BENGALS!")

5.  "The Broncos? The freaking Broncos?! Are you freaking serious?!"

6. (Message left on a beer coaster in a sports bar in Pittsburgh Sunday by some guy wearing a Jack Lambert jersey.)

7. (OK, also by guys wearing Lynn Swann jerseys, Joe Greene jerseys, Rod Woodson jerseys, etc.)

8.  "Please. Help us. We have to play Drew Brees next."

9. (Message found on the message board at the Dallas Cowboys complex Monday afternoon.)

10. (Shortly before it was taken down.)
