The Comfort in the Flames
A Poem on Finding Solace in the Struggle of Life
Life of fire, bright
Danger, I cannot ignore
Drive in flames, I sigh
Escape, my heart's desire
Rest, not work, is what I long
Fire, my comfort, though
Hesitate to flee
Alive in flames, I feel
Stockholm's hold, unbroken
Freedom's call, I dream
Lost in rush, my way unclear
Fire, my home, I stay

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.
