The beast within.
Black fur, red eyes, it has no disguise.
What is it you said?
It lies in wait underneath your bed.
What lies underneath my bed? I am the beast within. Nothing frightens me.
No more needs to be said. Sleep soundly.
I will. Soundless is how I will sleep. You won't hear a whisper or a peep.
Then why all this bickering beast within? I thought you were beastly. Why prattle on? Out of sin?
Yes. Sinful is what I am. Now watch your words. Before, I sin.
Goodnight. Sweet dreams. I'll be here waiting for you.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
