Reflections

King Hippo - November 21, 2016November 20, 2016

First of all - fuck the world, and fuck humanity. Extinction is coming, and we will totes deserve it. Until that sweet day of reckoning, onto the games. Second of all...I forgot to check for fill-in columns first. Oopsie. So apologies for duplicative #content. Everyone missed almost every

“What’s that smell?” and other Balls Thoughts

ballsofsteelandfury - November 21, 2016November 20, 2016

Our own Hippo has been in a bit of a funk lately, so I thought I'd give it a shot to fill the void Let's get going! Panthers 23 - Saints 20 Fuck you very much Drew Brees and Cam Newton! Like my fantasy football season wasn't down the shitter already, you decide

Hey guys, isn't it fun how KICKERS are missing all over the place today? I sure do love how much more EXCITING this is making the game of football! Roger Goodell knows a smart rule change when he sees one, and this certainly cannot POSSIB-LIE go wrong. Scotchy is out tonight

Your Late Afternoon Tri-Medley of Games Open Thread

My old crew of buddies prided ourselves on creating our own little vernacular. If I had said, "'Tri-Medley'?-is that even a freakin' word?" My buddies would immediately respond in unison, "It is now." And then we would add it to our nomenclature. Damn, I miss those fellas. TO THE TRI-MEDLEY OF

If you haven't felt the season fly by fairly quickly, I envy you and wish you well in your battle with acne. You see, as one ages time tends run faster. Someone that may or may not be smarter than me attributes this phenomenon to the fact that there is

“When Not All Tires Catch Fire” – The Atlanta Falcons At Their Bye

Beerguyrob - November 19, 2016November 19, 2016

First of all, let's kick this mother off right: The Falcons are 6-4 and on their bye this weekend. Let that sink in for a moment - the Falcons, a team that last year started 5-0 and then promptly decided that competency was for losers. The Falcons, whose one shining moment was

EPL Returns and Other Lesser Footy Sadness

Everything still sucks out loud and should be set on fire. It will all be ablaze soon enough, and Lesser Footy exists to hopefully help distract you at least a little bit until it happens. The early Saturday fixture (7:30, NBCSN)is strong and assy, with 6th position Manure hosting 4th

TGISF…aka Your “Don’t Build That Wall Just Yet” Sexy Friday Open Thread

So last week, I made a bit of a faux pas in the sports section of the TGISF entry. While I had every intention of mentioning the Mexico/USA qualifier, I pulled a brain cramp on that one and simply forgot to put it in there. BallsofSteelandFury, as he is apt

CFL Beat: Playoffs – Division Finals

The Maestro - November 18, 2016November 18, 2016

The playoffs press on - both games last weekend were absolute barn-burners, and even if you're only just starting to pay attention now to the CFL season (which, if that's the case, what the hell? Have I just been shouting into the abyss about this for six months now??), this

2016 Quotables (Week 10 – Results)

blaxabbath - November 18, 2016

Results! Yes! Here they are! Also, I was in Vegas yesterday and, apparently, their Chik-fil-A will not be completed before your 12/3 [DFO] trip so, you know, plan accordingly. Also airport beers are $7.

Hard Ride To Nowhere (Chapter 56)

Beastmode Ate My Baby - November 18, 2016November 17, 2016

The scene: Future Moose's opulent (if virtual) bedchambers. Moose is there with Ballsofsteelandfury, who is in the virtual form of Future Clone Debbie Harry. Future Clone Lynda Carter is sitting on the bed, swinging a pillow and giggling. Future Moose: So you're sure the Man in Plaid is deactivated, Balls? Balls...?
