You either watched it live on CBS, were there or you saw and read about the rowdy Steelers-Bengals NFL Wildcard Playoff game later.

The wife and I just subscribed to Netflix. We’re a little late to the party on this one. We just finished watching the third season of House of Cards. My wife is sort of Claire to my Francis without the bisexual threesome with the Secret Service Agent (a MMF for those familiar in those sorts…
