Fifty years and a few odd weeks ago, back in 1976, our nation celebrated its Bicentennial – the 200th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. If you were around in 1976, you probably remember that it was much more than a single Fourth of July celebration. The entire country spent a year wrapped in red, white, and blue.
Following recent experiments, a lone scientist has confirmed an anomalous event. The 2026 NFL Schedule by Week that was recently shrunk (see Honey, I Shrunk the Schedule) was discovered to be quantumly entangled with the 2026 NFL Schedule by Team. As a result, both schedules have now been dramatically reduced in size from the voluminous, multipage versions issued by the NFL.
This is great news for NFL fans! Now, not only is there one tiny, neat, single-page schedule containing all 272 regular-season games, there are two — one listing games by week and the other by team.

I wasn’t actually trying to shrink the NFL schedule. The whole thing started when I decided the print on my grocery list had become too small to read. This was partly due to advancing age and partly due to my habit of writing grocery lists with a dull, well-worn crayon. Faced with the choice of admitting age might be catching up with me or locating the ballpoint pen that was probably lying in plain sight, I did what any responsible scientist would do: I built a machine to enlarge the print.
The machine itself was a masterpiece of modern engineering, assuming your definition of “modern engineering” includes a toaster oven thermostat, part of a lawn sprinkler, and a broken VCR tape deck I’d been saving since the Reagan administration. After three weeks of construction and only two small electrical fires, the Enlarging Ray was ready for testing.

Ever notice how the Super Bowl feels huge and unforgettable while you’re watching it… but a few months later you find yourself thinking:
“Wait… who won the Super Bowl last year again?”
It happens to everybody. The game feels historic in the moment, but once the offseason rolls along, the details start slipping.
Here’s a simple trick that fixes that problem for good.

Alright guys, pruning season is past, and it’s time to see what the 2026 NFL coaching tree looks like. Like every year, wilted branches get trimmed and burned in the brush pile, while new growth is carefully grafted in, hoping these fresh coaching branches will flourish and blossom.

I stumbled across a pretty cool website the other day: WhatIfSports.com. It’s fun to mess around with and built entirely around settling the debates sports fans love, including teams from different eras, legends who never crossed paths, and dream matchups that could only happen in a simulator. Best of all, it’s completely free to use, so you can run simulations, test hypothetical matchups, and settle sports debates without spending a dime. If this sounds like a cool site to you, I recommend checking it out.

The tournament finale did not disappoint. In a clash that had everyone on the edge of their seats, the Bills’ mascot narrowly edged out the bear in a tense, hard-fought battle. Every moment was contested, every move countered, until the final decisive pin left the bear defeated and the bison standing victorious.

As we all know, artificial intelligence will destroy humanity in the not-too-distant future. But before the machines turn us into pink mist, there is still time for one last noble pursuit: pointless, absurd entertainment.
That brings us to the NFL Mascot Death Match Tournament.
In this tournament, I asked AI to decide the winners of hypothetical, no-holds-barred death matches between NFL mascots. This is not about men in foam suits high-fiving children on the sidelines. For the purposes of this tournament, each mascot is treated as the actual creature or character it represents, dropped into a fight that reflects what would realistically happen if these beings were forced to settle things the old-fashioned way.
