Well, this is it. The end of the 2011 season. After tonight, you won't see any meaningful NFL games until September. Seven months from now. Woe unto us all.

Now that you're properly depressed, let's enjoy this last precious bit of football. It's the Super Bowl. Let's comment like it.

Yes, the Pro Bowl is little more than a glorified exhibition. It's also your last opportunity to watch Gary Kubiak and his staff, Johnathan Joseph, Chris Myers, and Antonio Smith (Arian Foster's sitting this one out) do what they do until OTAs crank back up over the summer.

This is your open thread for the 2012 Pro Bowl. Perhaps your witty commentary can make this into chicken salad.

We've talked about who you'll be watching with interest when the North takes on the South in this afternoon's postbellum affair at 3 p.m. CST (airing on the NFL Network). Now let us actually watch the game and enjoy one another's observations on same.

This is your open thread for the 2012 Senior Bowl. You might be tempted to turn your nose up at such an endeavor...until you realize that you're about to go on an involuntary no-meaningful-football diet from February 6th until September.

Makes you want to watch some football, doesn't it? Opine as only you know how in the Comments below.

Alas, the first Texansless playoff weekend of the 2011 campaign has arrived. You must watch the Ravens battle the Patriots, wondering "What if?" all the while. You may watch the Giants take on the 49ers, lamenting that David Carr could reach the Super Bowl before your beloved Texans will.

During these soul-searching moments, I invite you to comment merrily and/or forlornly in this open game thread. You're among friends.

Your Open Thread to talk about the Packers and...ummmm....whomever they're playing. I don't really care right now, to be honest. Also, too: need beer.

I don't think anyone planned on the first open thread getting so many comments, but it did. (Thank you to all who have participated.) Because the commenting system gets a little weird once you cross 1,000 comments, here's an open thread for commentary on Tebow v. Brady.

Also, here's a link to Jimmy Fallon's "TeBowie" parody. Just because.

Your Houston Texans take the field for their divisional round playoff game against the Baltimore Ravens in approximately 21 hours. Until then, you'll have to distract yourself by watching Saints-49ers, watching Broncos-Patriots, or huffing paint. If you're an overachiever, you may elect to do all three.

No matter your choice, this is your open thread for today's playoff action. Enjoy.

I, like many of you, would be more intrigued by this game if Texas was playing in it. No point in wallowing about how the Horns got screwed here. Let's just watch the final game of the college football season and engage in witty banter throughout.

This is your open thread for tonight's national championship game. Go forth and comment.
