Football Cat’s Week 15 NFL Picks ’25

Can you find the ten HR violations?

Late Night with Football Cat presents: Top 10 Office Christmas Party Mistakes
From the home office in Nashua New Hampshire, the Top 10 ways to turn your company Christmas party into a career-ending blooper reel…
10) Introducing the new employee to everyone as “the diversity hire we got for the tax break.”
9) Doing the Macarena with Karen from Accounting… on top of the copier.
8) Starting a conga line through the open-bar line. Congratulations, you just turned a 45-minute wait for vodka into a fire-code violation with jazz hands.
7) Telling the intern that the mistletoe belt buckle is “company tradition.”
6) Karaoke rendition of “Baby It’s Cold Outside” as an unwilling duet with your married boss.
5) Complimenting Stacy from Marketing on how “the red dress really brings out the exit sign behind you.”
4) Cornering the CEO under the mistletoe and saying, “Pucker up, you magnificent bald elf.”
3) Grabbing the mic from the DJ to announce, “This next song goes out to Steve in accounting—thanks for doing my taxes and my wife!”
2) Drunken PowerPoint presentation titled “Things I’d Change If I Ran This Place.”
1) Slow-dancing with the cardboard cutout of the founder while crying to “Last Christmas.”

Time to check in with everyone’s favorite nonagenarian sportswriter, none other than legendary boxing and gridiron correspondent for the old Boston Evening Gazette, Buzz “Lefty” McBride. Mr. McBride would like to share his take on the controversial hit New England Patriots’ linebacker Christian Eliss placed on New York Giants’ quarterback Jaxson Dart during the first quarter of Monday night’s football game.

Football Cat’s Thanksgiving Picks ’25

Turkey fans enjoy giving out gobbles this time of year, but what about America’s fastest, and fattest, growing dietary subgroup the Porksaterians? Well don’t worry Porky, we’re here to satisfy you with a serving of oinks.


Grant Huckvale (a.k.a. Hogdale):
Hogdale carved a niche for himself as an overly exuberant alternative broadcaster to the stoic and bland official Red Sox play-by-play teams on NESN and WEEI. Over the summer you’d see Hogdale clips occasionally retweeted into your timeline, usually after Red Sox wins, and you’d think to yourself “I think that’s the tops“. We probably all agree that Hogdale is special. Smash cut to present day, and we are confronted with a hog of a different color. Barstool, in an effort to fill an obese chromosomically challenged void in their lineup, swooped in and waved a lucrative (by part-time minimum waged Iowan standards) five figure contract in front of Hogdale’s snout and lured him into their slaughter house. Now Hogdale’s giant screaming maw is ever present, ever hot takey and ever annoying. To quote Rocky IV: “What started out as a joke has turned into a disaster”.
4 oinks 🐷🐷🐷🐷
