OTM Open Thread 12/29: It is Sunday

Happy Sunday everyone. We’re back! We hope you all enjoyed the holiday season so far and are getting ready for a good New Year, and thanks for bearing with us so we could take some time off for the holiday season. We’re back in action starting now. As far as what’s on the ol’ TV today, it’s all about NFL football, of course. The Patriots are at home against the Dolphins at 1:00 PM ET, and they need a win (or a Chiefs loss) to clinch a first round bye. The biggest game on the NFL slate today is 49ers-Seahawks, which is the Sunday Night Game and is being played with the NFC West on the line. The Bruins are also in action today, playing the Sabres for the second time in three days and looking for two wins in that span. There’s also college basketball on all day, including an intriguing West Virginia-Ohio State matchup at noon ET on FS1. After that, UMass-Lowell plays Michigan on FS1, which I point out because I think it has to be the highest profile game they have played in their short D1 history. Use this space to discuss whatever you’d like. As always, just be nice to each other.

Thing I Like Today

The Red Sox for taking this last week off. I very much expected a David Price trade to happen on either the 24th or 26th, so big ups to Chaim Bloom and company for not doing that.
