Did you come here for Power Rankings? Do you really expect me to magically make sense of this NFL season?

Here are your power rankings: The Bills are the best team in the AFC, the Eagles are the best team in the NFC, and the Chiefs are fine. Everybody else sucks, but unless there’s a tie, half of the league wins every week—it’s just math. That tricks us into thinking that our favorite team might be good because they crushed Detroit and Cleveland, but then they lose to Justin Fucking Fields at home on a Monday Night and make you question everything about your life.

So instead of traditional Power Rankings, this week we’re going to do something a little different. Sort of like when your wife accidentally gets Hint of Lime tortilla chips, and at first you’re pissed off because you’re not gay but then you realize that they’re actually kind of tasty and it’s a nice change of pace.

Today we’re going to play a game to determine which type of fan you are! Welcome to…

Before we begin I would like to speak directly to my editor: You are not prepared for the run-on sentences that you’re about to encounter. Please remember that this is a game and nobody reads my bi-weekly ramblings for the writing quality. I urge you to prioritize my grammar in the way that the Lions prioritize defense, or how Deshaun Watson views consent.

Okay, let’s get started!
