Ahead of Sunday's big football game, New York University PhD candidate, Sean Taylor, has published a new map based on Facebook figures that show a surprising social and geographical breakdown of NFL fans. The map is color-coded to show which states love which teams.

If you're a football fan, you know that the Houston Texans had a shot at the #1 seed in the playoffs, which would have given them a week off to rest and await their next opponent. But they lost to the Colts yesterday, and the cards fell in a way that drops them to the #3 seed, meaning they have to play this weekend.

And oh, those Cowboys...what happened this season. Cowboy fans are in a funk today, and taking back all the bragging they did this season on Facebook. The 'Boys are out of the playoffs after losing to the Redskins on Sunday night.

Wives sometimes complain that husbands sink into a terrible funk after a Dallas Cowboys loss. They don’t talk much, they’re grumpy, they snap and get sassy when asked a simple question…. Goodness. The Cowboys lose and it can take a family a day or two to get back to normal. May be a week, until the ‘Boys can get on the field and win again.

Did you hear Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was locked out of the locker room after the loss in Atlanta Sunday night? The word is he didn’t take the loss well. He was seen banging on the door, but he couldn’t get in. Oh dear. Would you have the nerve to lock out the boss?
