Meanwhile, in NASCAR ...

Or to put it another way: Oh, right. Those guys.

Those Guys were in Phoenix yesterday, while you were watching the Colts lose at home to the Dolphins and the Giants and Jets battle for the title of Cruddiest Football Team In New York. Denny Hamlin won, dominating the race and managing not to screw up the inevitable three-laps-to-go restart. This means the playoff final four is set for the season finale at Homestead next week.

The final four are Hamlin, Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Martin Truex Jr.

Even though Hamlin has won six races this year, the Blob thinks it will come down to Busch and Harvick. This is because Busch and Harvick always seem to be in the final four, and the Blob always thinks it will come down to the two of them.

So, there you go. You're all caught up. You may now resume watching Eric Ebron drop passes and Adam Vinatieri miss extra points.
