EPL Only Saturday – Embracing the Void

As a reminder, here are The Dead Milkmen…

On the pitch, we get things started by ruining my weekend straight away, and right early too, with Watford hosting Everton at 7:30 EST (NBCSN). The 11th position Hornets would actually vault over the 8th position Toffees with their inevitable win, as only 2 points separate the sides in the table. Everton will be without their most consistently effective (and certainly most energetic) attacking player, Yannick Bolasie. Mourinho’s shithouses never got a red card last weekend, but they did fuck Yala’s knee to bits, and he’s out at least a full year. At his age, he may never be the same again. Fucking cunts.

Arsenal/Stoke seems the best option in the 10:00 window, and indeed it gets the NBCSN treatment. Swans and Sunderland are on CNBC, in case you really enjoy human misery. And fucking admit it, you know you do. yeah right’s heroic Cherries look to avoid their Shite-slaying hangover against Burnley on Extra Time, in their first match ever in the top flight of English competition. WEIRD!

In another, happier time, defending champion Leicester hosting blue blood Man City (12:30, NBC) seemed like a really cool fixture to feature. Now, it’s just another mid-table side looking to take down a Champions League qualifier. There’s a story to tell, but no greatness any longer. Sigh.

You want greatness? Wake up early on Sunday (vs. West Brom, 7:00, NBCSN) to see the runaway title contenders, as in the wake of their win at the Etihad last weekend…even I am not doubting Antonio Conte’s Chelsea side any longer. They fucking good, y’all. Them poor little Albion ain’t even at home. Tweet?

Sunday’s good match is the Lucky Pierre of NBCSN’s troika, 6th position Man United vs. 5th position Spurs. I believe the gulf in quality is a great deal wider than one place in the standings would indicate, and that Tottenham will show as much, even at Old Trafford. Karma’s a bitch, Mourinho.

Soton and Middlesbrough play on Extra Time (9:15), and the Shite close things up on NBCSN against the Hammers (11:30). I gots nothing to say about either match. So sue me. Fuck you, 2016.

And no, I am not previewing the military industrial complex’s salute to jingoism. It is not worthy of the bravery of America’s servicemen and servicewomen, much like the American electorate. Try funding lifelong healthcare – including actually truly addressing mental health issues, instead of empty platitudes like your meaningless “thank yous.” And maybe fewer senseless wars, fought with no actual planning? Just a few thoughts.

Reclusive, vulgar Broncos fan. Also a proud fookin' Evertonian. Likely dropped on my head repeatedly as a small child. [Insert George Carlin quote followed by thoughtful nod.]

I was told I had to pay a cover charge of one hot blonde pic.

Shit, old tab was open

In my drunken channel surfing I landed on BIG TELEVISION ABC broadcasting “Mary Poppins” … … Holy shit! What combination of drugs/booze led too this weirdly amazing film being produced? I’ve seen this movie countless times but just now I’m wondering if LSD and gin were the driving forces in it’s conception.

You got something on you…

I fucking love opera. Italian > French. Only for opera though, flip that for food.

I pissed off my sister in law by introducing my 3 nieces, 9 and 6, to Courtney Barnett.

Says the music is too…”edgy” and “too old for them”.

Bloody Lethal

The music is loud and it rocks and the lyrics are pretty unassuming and beautiful.

George Baker is the most annoying fucking wanker in movies…

I would love it if Clarence the Angel was played by Artie Lange.

I think the dialogue between them would be richer.

A one income family, with a house, two kids, and a car….so unrealistic.

Unsurprised

The Simpsons is even more insanely fantastic.

I think I have managed to never see that movie in my life. I leave the room and do something else every time it gets turned on. I have seen short pieces going into rooms but never the movie.

Unsurprised

You’re in luck

One of these years, ESPN will actually schedule the twenty minutes of Heisman ceremony overrun they have every year so the 30 for 30 doc they always premier after it won’t have its ending cut off on the TiVo.

Unsurprised

That’s the kind of casual incompetence that has probably contributed so much to their subscriptions dwindling.

Of course, building a network around professional trolls like Skip and the PTI mouthbreathers could also be part of the reason.
