Holy Cats, Are City…Mortal? and Other Lesser Footy Matters

IT WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS, PEP! 1 point out of a possible 6? Drawing at home to fucking Everton (no ofence)?

But alas, here we are. Still in first, but only by a slender goal over Arsenal, with Spurs 1 point back in third. Almost seems like a real race, huh?

I would still note that City had like 80% possession last week, and only conceded the one clear chance that Romelu Lukaku converted (though that was part of the defensive/irritant plan) to send the Blues up 1-nil. And yeah, Everton keeper Maarten Stekelenburg (try spelling that crunk) was out of his mind, saving TWO pens, and that wasn’t even his best work of the day.

In short…it’s possible to get points off ANYBODY if you have a really good plan and a lot breaks your way, and Everton look to at least contend for a European place this season. But City fought like hell for 90 minutes, and never rolled over. This is still a remarkably good side, and my favourite to hoist the trophy in May, by a comfortable margin.

But it’s fun to pretend to have a race, at least.

Speaking of Spurs, they draw Saturday early duty (7:30, NBCSN) with a visit to cheeky Bournemouth. WAKE UP, yeah right!! The Cherries popped Hull 6-1 last weekend, so momentum is on their side! Arsenal/Boro headlines the 10:00 window (NBCSN), though I will watch Everton grind through a trip to Burnley on Extra Time. I am also having some new appliances delivered to my old house, and my window is unhappily 11:30-3:30. So…I may miss the end and be grumpier than usual. There is MOAR shite on Extra Time at 10, and the proper Shite against Brom at 12:30 on NBC. Watch JV NFL and quit encouraging the Klopp ball-fondling. It’s gross.

NBCSN has a high-quality Sunday Funday doubleheader, with City hosting resurgent, 8th place Saints at 8:30. Both teams should bring their A game for this one, and There Will Be Goals. Good viewing. The 11:00 window has Manure rolling into Stamford Bridge, with a Top 5 position almost surely belonging to the winner. Chelski assuaged some of my skepticism last week, as did Manure by holding the Shite to a scoreless draw. So…this is also a very interesting ficture, albeit between two unspeakably evil sides.

HEY!! Guess who’s here to shit all over the noon ABC window again?

NC State at Louisville (Noon, ABC)

For most of this, I will be likely watching the Sears dudes install a dishwasher and microwave that I will NEVAR FUCKING USE, whilst listening to a transistor radio that I bought for the hurricane. This, imaginary friends and frenemies, is my fucking life in a nutshell. The wolven sort will no doubt still insist on field goal attempts, and I will say very unpleasant words. Lamar! will try to get his Heisman/NFL/2020 Invisible Primary campaigns back on track.

Wisconsin at Iowa (Noon, ESPN)

So many fat white ppl. So little forward passing.

Colorado at Stanford (3:00, Pac 12)

I’ve noticed a trend in that the secondary/tertiary Pac 12 fixtures can get quite entertaining at times. Bookmark this little fucker in case The Big One below gets all shitshow-y.

Texas A&M at Alabama (3:30, CBS)

Team Bonfire Cult at Roll Damn Tide. These weirdos probably have some amazing parking lot staredowns on the way in, given the cult mentalities and the copious amounts of grain alcohol involved. I actually like Kevin Sumlin a lot, and think his team is very, very good. I do NOT rule out an upset here, or a game that is so close that the Aggies stay in playoff contention if they run the table afterwards. BUT…the game is in Tuscalossa, and one that Saban and his charges will take seriously, so one can’t rule out 35-0 in the 2nd quarter neither.

Arkansas at Auburn (6:00, ESPN)

ESPN has timed its programming to kick in early in case of Tuscaloosa shitshow. Can you tell? This is usually the time Pig Sooey decides to start fucking everyone else’s season up. Your turn in the barrel, Aubie.

Ole Miss at LSU (9:00, ESPN)

I’m not really sure what these teams are left playing for, but they don’t like one another and it’s late night in Death Valley. Sign me up.

Washington State at Arizona State (10:00, Pac 12)

Late night tweaker/insomniac games don’t get much SEXIER THAN THIS!! Danger, Coach Leach, a trap game awaits…

Hey Sill. Fleener or Jack Doyle tomorrow?

Who is Jack Doyle?

Fronkenshteen

The new Coby Fleener in Indy.

Howdy you buncha dick smacks. It’s a windy Saturday in Maryland. Very autumn like.

I fucking hate it.

Man it is blustery here in NY.

Aggies needed to score there.

All over but the crying foar ATM.

That was WAY too easy foar Roll Tide right there.

See, the mistake a lot of creepy old men make is trying to hit on undergrads.

Undergrads are not only impossible to talk to because they’re still so stupid but if you’re over the age of 25 you’re pretty much invisible to them. As it should be.

Now grad school, that’s a different story. In the space of three months the world has decided that you’re really an adult now, you can’t bullshit your way out of your responsibilities anymore, money is an issue for the first time, and the entire support network you’ve depended on for the last 4-7 years is gone.

It’s a tough adjustment, and as a older man of worldly knowledge and experience you can help provide both emotional and financial support.

All the sudden how much gray you have takes a back seat to how much green you have.

Now get out there, get yourself a grad school course catalog at the local university, and start auditing!

Or so I’m told…

I guess if you hate Mexicans you hate Salma Hayek on principle, but I’m pretty sure the last thing the rest of us could be bothered to care about is how tall she is:

—-“When I met that man, I had a boyfriend, and he tried to become his friend to get my home telephone number,” she said, describing meeting Trump early in her career before she was well-known. “He got my number and he would call me to invite me out.”

“When I told him I wouldn’t go out with him even if I didn’t have a boyfriend, [which he took as disrespectful], he called — well, he wouldn’t say he called, but someone told the National Enquirer,” Hayek continued, adding that she never went out with him.

“Someone told the National Enquirer — I’m not going to say who, because you know that whatever he wants to come out comes out in the National Enquirer. It said that he wouldn’t go out with me because I was too short,” she said.—-

Yep. Too short.

Colin Hanks is OK but I doubt he’d be having the same level of success if his name was Colin Banks.

Aggies with a nifty shift to draw Roll Tide offside on the FG attempt there.

And the Finnish Flash makes it 1-0 Old Time Blue Bombers.

Wakezilla

Sadly, Gretzky is by far the slowest guy out there

Wakezilla

It’s a good thing Edmonton’s players got fat because I don’t recognize most of Winnipeg’s players. However, the Old Ice Bombers look more inshape. So it shouldn’t be a blowout upon facial recognition.

It’s 45, wet and rainy here in CT. I’m on what should be the last day of a cold/cough combination. The dog thinks he’s going for a walk. Man is he gonna be disappointed.

Nah. Alka-Seltzer at night, that’s about it.

Alright! Old timers Ice Eskimos are playing the Old Timers Ice Blue Bombers. Lets see if they keep the scores vintage with the Old Ice Eskimos winning by 3+ goals.

Wakezilla

Yeah, Edmonton were thr big bads and Calgary was the dirty evil henchman.

Horatio Cornblower

Does the idiot who traded Gretzky still own the team?

Wakezilla

Nah, they are owned by a group of irrational fan bous who have run the organization into the ground

So the CFL is having a severe attendance crises. Some teams like the Argos have lost a generation of fans already.

Here’s what the CFL should do:

Get every team to pitch in 100K and give 2K Sports the money to make a CFL videogame.

I teach a lot of new Canadians who follow the NFL because of Madden and even know players’ attributesby heart.

A CFL videogame won’t cure attendance problems, but it might get youth more intrigued with the game if the videogame is fun.

Wakezilla

Another thing I’d do:

I’d stop their spread out weekly schedule and condense it to two days. I’d have 2 games on Friday (seeing how Friday Night football is a thing) and 2 games on Saturday.

It’s ridiculous that they have games scheduled roughly Thursday to Monday in a freaking 9 team league.

I’d also not have teams have back to back home games. Some teams have as little as 6 days inbetween home games. That’s too soon.

Horatio Cornblower

Just tell ’em it’s a new form of hockey.

Wakezilla

Im at the nearby work watering hole and all they have is the Louisville /NC State game on TV. Sox TVs around me and all are on that 1 game. This is Vancouver, BC. The owner must have went to Louisville because I can’t think of another reason why a 54-13 game is on one TV, let alone the 6 around me.

Wakezilla

I had 2 god damn class cancelations today. Of course, the last one didn’t get cancelled, so, I’m kind of stuck here because I’m an idiot who can’t find work around my area.

After seeing her husband Kurt getting concussed, Brenda Warner prayed that he would ‘see the light’ and retire. She credits her prayers for Warner finally deciding to call it a day.

/she’s a bit of a self-absorbed ass

Senor Weaselo

Janay Rice apologizes for “seeing the light.”

Horatio Cornblower

Janay Rice should have prayed to see the right, because then she could have ducked.

Wakezilla

Isn’t she and her kids supposed to be total jerks to Kurt? I seem to recall a story stating nobody in that family like Kurt for some reason

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

A bit?

BrettFavresColonoscopy

Going to a wedding tonight, so the Cubs better not make this one too dramatic or I’ll have to stay sober longer than is advisable.

scotchnaut

/watching the Kurt Warner bio

I laughed my ass off when I saw the Vermeil press conference when he said that Warner was going to do okay.

...

Kyle Schwarber was added to the roster of the Cubs’ Arizona Fall League team which has Cubs fans a flutter about the possibility he could DH a World Series game.

laserguru

That would be cool as fuck.

...

A Kirk Gibson-esque homerun from him would probably kill half of us.

laserguru

I really really need the Cubs to win game 6 tonight.
Selfish reasons aside.
I’m going to San Diego tomorrow for my birthday and to visit youngest right and the grand baby. I booked a seriously sweet ass room months back.
Yesterday my girls mother had emergency abdominal surgery and barely made it. Both of my daughters are traumatized.

Now my selfish ass is worried about watching a possible historic game 7 in a bar filled with strangers, away from home while my girls are scared senseless.

Besides, I’ll miss the NFL late game if I’m watching baseball.

theeWeeBabySeamus

Yikes dude. I hope she’s doing OK, obviously.
And it’s not selfish…we need distractions. I lost someone very special to me last night. Yet I’m bitching up a storm today about CFB. Coping.
Cubs > Dodgers
BUT….
Injuns > Cubs
tWBS hath spake. 😉
Seriously…I hope she’s well.

...

Ability to watch the game aside, winning tonight’s Game of Doom would simply be easier on the lot of us considering how, you know, it worked out the last time around.

laserguru

Or the last two times if we include Steve fucking Garvey.

Bournemouth with the nil nil draw.

The boys are looking surprisingly competent this year.

Spanky Datass

Swansea draws at nil with tWatford … woooo?
It’s kinda sad that I feel relieved to get the one point as I root for a 19th place team.

True story: Spring Break my junior year in high school, my parents took me and my brother to Phoenix for vacation. We rolled through Tempe to “check out” ASU as a possible college destination. There were college girls in bikini tops everywhere. I think I may have drooled.

I still have the ASU sweatshirt I bought on that trip.

theeWeeBabySeamus

I had multiple instances of nearly crashing the bike. And while the scenery is there year round, spring is definitely the best. So good timing for you, LOL.
