The season is truly, finally over with the conclusion of the Pro Bowl. It's felt that way a few times over the last two months (end of fantasy season, regular season, week before Super Bowl), but now there isn't another NFL contest for six months.

I am usually run down at this time of year, with need of a break, but the yeoman work of Evan Silva, Patrick Dahl, and Chris Wesseling on our news page has me fresher than normal. I'm going to keep blogging every day, with links and longer thoughts on big topics. I will also prepare a big FA preview for the site and get cracking on our magazine prep. That's the Pancake Blocks state of the union address. Now let's get to a couple links sitting around.
