Themeless Lesser Footy Turns to November

Fuck it, I am lazy and depressive by nature. My Lesser Footy sides have ass kickings coming their way, too.

We get a rare 5/5 Saturday/Sunday split with the EPL coverage, and no Saturday early game. WEIRD. Be warned, another hideous international break is on the horizon. You get 4 wretched games in the 11am window before we “fall back” overnight and synch times up with the Brits again, with City hosting Middlesbrough getting the NBCSN slot.

Chelski host Everton at 1:30 on big NBC, with the home side (in 4th place, but only 1 point behind top position City) without question playing the best footy in the League. The 6th position Toffees have been surprisingly stingy defensively under new boss Ronald Koeman, and will need to be in top form to get anything from this one. Worth skipping JV NFL? For me, yes.

Use that extra hour wisely and get up for Spurs/Arsenal (7:00, NBCSN). Arsenal are still in the first place 3-way, but visiting Spurs can catch them with a win. And they are the kind of side set up to give Wenger fits. It will be a fascinating watch, likely the match of the weekend.

Shite/Watford (NBCSN) and Hull/Soton (Extra Time) split the 9:15 window. Watford are a surprising 7th, and could complicate the home side’s plans to maintain pace with City at the top of the heap. Hull are in rapid free fall after their fast start.

Karma continues to be a bitch for Jose Mourinho and Manure, as they travel to Swansea (10:00, CNBC). One wonders if this is a “win or get the sack” fixture for the “not-so-special-anymore-are-you-fuckface” one.

We wrap things up with the wet fart that is Leicester hosting West Brom (11:30, NBCSN). It’s ok, they know us Yanks all have fantasy lineups to fuck up.

Onward to JV festivities…

Wisconsin at Northwestern (Noon, ABC)

We should highlight at least one Mildcats game this season, right? Well, here you go. Perhaps they will beat Wiscy. Likely not. I hope everyone brings sunscreen.

Texas at Texas Tech (Noon, FS1)

The Longhorns’ fixture was more wild and wooly than GUNS UP!’s last week. The fuck’s up with that, guys? Fuck it, I told you I was watching Everton anyway.

Oklahoma State at Kansas State (3:30, ABC/ESPN2)

I swear to fuck, these two teams have the same ballpark records/kinds of team every single fucking season (at least since Undead Bill Snyder returned from the grave). It’s like Groundhog Day, hopeless Midwestern shit-ass town Lesser Footy Special Edition.

Arizona at Washington State (4:00, Big 12)

It’s about time our spunky little pipe bomb assemblers from Eastern WA got into the Top 25! And they get a cushy home matchup as reward! SEXY TIME!!

DENVER - MARCH 20:  The Washington St. Cougars cheerleaders perform during the first round game of the East Regional against the Winthrop Eagles as part of the 2008 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament at Pepsi Center on March 20, 2008 in Denver, Colorado.

Florida State at NC State (7:00, ESPNU)

Oh, just fuck EVERYTHING. At least I only have to watch about an hour of this shit before the main event of the day starts up and I quit paying attention. Hey, at least maybe our coach will get fired! That’s always totes fun!!

Alabama at LSU (8:00, CBS)

At first, I was like “Why is the 3:30 CBS game so shitty?” and then I was like “Why aren’t any of the other matchups really much better?” then I get to 8:00 and I’m like “ohhhhhh, righhhhhht.” Will this game be as fun without Les Miles? Probably not. Maybe the mystique will be broken, and Roll Damn Tide will win by 3 scores, as talent would indicate is likely. I still watchin’ to see…

Nebraska at Ohio State (8:00, ABC)

…because this is the alternative. I swear to dear BLEERGH in the sky, nobody can put together Top Ten matchups that I could give less of a tin shit about than the B1G. I’d rather scrub the litterbox.

Washington at Cal (10:30, ESPN)

I hope you think the Huskies are ripe for a trap game, and that Sonny Dykes and crew are capable of springing one, otherwise I’m afraid it’s gonna be an itchy, itchy Saturday night for all you tweakers out there. And with a whole extra hour until daybreak, too. You might really need to give into those voices, I mean WHAT POSSIBLE HARM COULD IT DO??

Living in a swing state, I’m constantly subjected to endless political attack ads, obnoxiously huge yard signs and phone calls at all hours of the day. Can’t wait for this to be over with.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

Fucking otters.

Senor Weaselo

I just saw a “Chuck Schumer kept the Bills in Buffalo” election ad. Is anyone even running against him?

Senor Weaselo

I approve of the curbstomping Clemson is putting on the Cuse. That’s about as much as I can say about the lesser footy. How’s stuff and things?

Senor Weaselo

But it beats watching Election Weekend coverage, especially when you have no dogs in the fight.

Senor Weaselo

I meant the footy, I think we ALL have election dogs. Even the Canadians!

I’m tutoring this kid for the English 12 Provincials and his goal is 70%. He doesn’t do his homework and seemingly doesn’t give a shit. I have a better chance to meet and get a hummer from Kate Upton than this kid has to get 70%. I honestly have no idea why he’s with a private tutor when he’s so indifferent to all of this. Like he told me he has a job to partially pay for this, yet he doesn’t do the homework and goes on a DQ run during the 2 hours I’m with him.

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

More reasons to shit your pants:
Southern states have closed down at least 868 polling places for the 2016 election.

I was recently at an AFB with diagrams of Minuteman III missile bunkers; I knew it before but it really hit home how important this election is.

Wakezilla

Voter supression is definitely the red headed step child chained to the boiler that nobody seems to be talking about this election.

The worst part is, no matter who wins, the other is totally going to contest the election, unless it’s a large skunking

Moose -The End Is Well Nigh

The worst part is by far and away that Trump has even a small chance of winning.

They have a great point here:

I love the way he did the whole “One is the loneliest number” bit first, then just went ahead with this. It’s so bizarre hearing this.

Afternoon folks. Shit, it has been awhile. Freaking kids man.

What are we watching?

scotchnaut

CHRISTMAS MOVIES! WOOOOO!!!!

entropy

3:10 to Yuma on Showtime, the remake with Russell Crowe and Batman.

Is it in Gretchen Mol’s contract that she always has to play the disapproving love interest? I don’t think I’ve ever seen her be supportive of a man in any movie, ever.

/watching “The Road To Christmas”

I feel a “I Watched It So You Don’t Have To” post coming on…

What the hell is “The Road to Christmas?”

Oh. Oh GOD. I just watched half of the trailer on youtube and what the hell is WRONG with you, man? This seems like those fake movie trailers from the one episode of South Park. This is just AWFUL.

WONDERFULLY awful.

I just wandered into an Argentine restaurant and market in Rockville to pick up some alfajores for my girlfriend, and they have the game on. Is Everton shit or what’s going on here?

scotchnaut

Tom Coughlin red?

It is fucking 70 degrees outside. Wtf?

Maybe Saturday is a cleansing for the Raiders tomorrow. Some call it karma; others, self delusion.
Looking forward to that game big time. IMHO, could be a tie..

Loved that grab and pull tackle.. Everton going full Uruguay!

No biting yet though.

I think it’s time for a full weekend of football gorging. I can finally refocus.

Haven’t decided what I’m doing for food tomorrow but it may just be a simple burrito night. Simple, tasty, cheap as hell and everybody loves it.
Also this is my 3rd consecutive 3 day weekend out of 4 thanks to work forcing us to use our vacation time.
I’m enjoying it so far.

The college and NFL matchups this weekend seem lean. I see even A&M disagrees with its #4 ranking.

Remember last night when I agreed to not torture you fine folks with Natasha Bedingfield or Carly Rae Jepsen? Hehehehehe, well….sorry. This girl can’t sing, but she’s cute so….well, sorry not sorry. LMFAO.

Muted after 15 seconds, still watched the whole thing. Rotten tomato currently being sent your way via cruise missile from PA.

Hey. Uh. Just wanted to say sorry for last week. I lapsed on my bipolar/depression meds like a dick and ended up having a pretty scary nervous breakdown. Spent the week in the psych ward at the VA hospital. Sorry I sprayed my hateful shit all over the Sunday night thread. Anyway, I’m home, still have my job, stabilized on my meds, and am slated for talk therapy starting this week. My wife & kid are happy I’m home. My parents are disgusted with me & left literally a minute after I walked in the door (they babysat while my wife worked). Can’t care about that right now though. Anyway, just wanted you guys to know I missed following the evening threads a hell of a lot, especially during game 7, when I got the whole nursing staff so whipped up, they let me keep the TV in the day room on an extra 2 hours to watch the end. Everyone was having so much fun, a difficult Alzheimer’s/Parkinson’s patient started smiling and agreed to take his medicine. I felt like McMurphy without a Nurse Ratched. I’m happy as hell to be watching lesser footy with you guys this morning. Enjoy the games! And thanks, because without knowing it, you guys are very….ah fuck, I don’t know the words, just thanks.

So I know a bunch of Trump supporters are fantasizing about participating in a revolution, but who do they think they would be fighting? The cops that Trump said he’s going to let “get tough”? The military they have been fetishizing for the last fifteen years? The FBI?

I’m glad you’re finally seeing things my way. Can’t fucking believe I have to stay conscious sober awake long enough to wait until 7pm to see our current receipt of the weekly asskicking.

Saints v Inter was the ultimate in England v Yurp.

Have fun. I can’t stand it here anymore.

Sorry to hear that, man. I don’t think we’ve particularly changed, but I’ve got a good idea of where you’re coming from.

Be well.

Gotta be the new theme.
