Thursday, Football, Nats, etc.

Friday a.m. update: we're a little behind schedule with your gateway-to-the-weekend edition, so please check back later this morning.

It's another just-the-jobs Thursday, the NFL returns to action, the Nats enjoy a well-earned day off, and for some reason we have the Hoodoo Gurus buzzing in our heads.  Enjoy the day (and these finds).
