Just My Darned Opinion: Does anybody want to win the AFC?

If the six teams in last season’s AFC playoffs want return trips, they have funny ways of showing it.

Attrition, injuries and the percentages stand to hit those six teams hard this season, which will make either for a fun horse race in the AFC or a sloggy mess of struggling teams.

Here are looks at what’s gone on (and, largely, wrong) with each of the teams since the end of the Super Bowl, and what could be going right for one surprise squad, based on the opinion of a man armed only with a laptop and a recliner.

Just Tim Conway doing what he does best: Destroying everyone else on the set. Happy Tuesday, all.

In Case You Missed It (And Even If You Didn't)

What you may have missed while wondering why this never happens for your favorite team:

• Genius.

Off for a few days. Have a good weekend.

Just My Darned Opinion: Are they worth it anymore?

Ryan Braun could've taken the easy way out, just admitted that he was using performance-enhancing drugs, and everybody could've gone on their merry ways. But he went on a different journey instead and became the only the most recent performance-enhanced villain of the sports world.

Depressing? Yeah, maybe. But it doesn’t have to be the end of one’s enjoyment of sports. We just have to be watchful of who and what we’re rooting for – and yes, keep rooting for them, especially in baseball.

Karma Is Interesting Sometimes, Isn't It?

This 2012 video of Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun -- who on Monday found out he's going to be, um, going away for a while -- strongly defending his character in the wake of allegations of using performance-enhancing drugs now either is sad or funny. Either way, it's mesmerizing to watch now.
