Not that anyone would notice it in North Cakalaky, where it’s been hotter this past week than July and August mashed together. Jeebus Tapdancing Christ. And of course, another noon kickoff for mah Shitty Wolves to suffer through. Ay yi yi…
Our beloved Premiership is being lazy arseholes and not giving us an early morning fixture. Spurs and Cardiff (10:00, NBCSN) is the only televised game of the main window, and can I rant for awhile about this predilection the NBC folks have for Cardiff snuff films? Every fookin’ week.
I guess they really want y’all to buy NBC Gold like Hippo, who will be watching Everton limp into Leiscester. But Cherries v. Moose-Hornets is also a very interesting matchup. Palace/Wolves? Also not bad! Lots to choose from, really.
Manure takes on Newcastle (12:30, NBC) in the spotlight dance, such that it is. I’d recommend JV NFL, which is good again early.
Sunday Funday! is way better, with Fulham/Arsenal well worth setting one’s alarm for (7:00, NBCSN). Mighty Whitey has been missing that breakout win, and my spidey sense says it comes here. Saints/Chelsea (9:15, NBCSN) is the middleman of this Lucky Pierre, and I’d go do sommet else for a little bit.
Finally, you have Man City invading Anfield (11:30, NBCSN), in what could essentially salt away the 2nd-consecutive title if the Fightin’ Ian Curtises come good. Let’s hope they put it away well in advance of RedZone kickoff montage, yeah?
Nimes and Rimes play one another in Ligue du Froggie today (2:00, ??), and I just find that amusing. Make up your own song to that cheesy “Can’t you read teh siggggggnnnnnssss?” song every asshole with a guitar liked to riff in high school.
Young Boys host FC Lucerne at Wankdorf (1:00, ??) and you just know they’ll manage to finish on top! The nice thing about pedastry jokes, they NEVAR get old. 😀
Nothing else really interested me, but I invite the more sophisticated enthusiasts to rectify my understanding in the comments.
Texas v. Oklahoma @ Cotton Bowl (Noon, Fox)
Please have Gus Johnson attached, stupid Fox game. You have mis-assigned him all damned season. Also, let’s goooooo Northern Steer Fuckers!
Boston College at NC State (12:30, ACCN)
I want to believe, really. But the JV Iggles in town, with a number in front of mah Shitty Wolves? I shall watch this through laced fingers, chuh chuh.
Clemson at Wake Forest (3:30, ESPN)
Trap Game 2: Electric Boogaloo. One does NOT want to leave it all up to NC State, playing in Death Valley. TRUST HIPPO.
LSU at Florida (3:30, CBS)
YAY! A watchable CBS fixture this week. Hippo’s GAMBLOR! tip – bet the shit out of LSU. Any offense with a pulse is gold against Florida.
Kentucky at Texas A&M (7:00, ESPN)
Season Alert! Kenfucky is undefeated at FOOTBAW, and doing it with defense. No fucking clue why they are nigh-touchdown dogs against a very mediocre TAMU side, except that old habits die hard.
Notre Dame at Virginia Tech (8:00, ABC)
Like trying to find GOP Senators with a conscience, the useless pleading for someone, anyone to beat Notre Dame continues this week with a bunch of Castrated Turkeys.
Utah at Stanford (10:30, ESPN)
Tweaker pickings were slim, but I bet on this’un, so it wins out. Always possible that the Trees are still thinking about last week’s pitch shitting, but David Shaw’s crew usually takes care of bidness against the plankton, and I suspect they will take out some frustrations on Team Secular Big Love.

Little help over here-I’ve got some beef chuck short ribs and I’ve followed PornHub’s recipe as far as bringing them up to room temp. and dusting Maldon salt on my balls and dragging them across the ribs. Pornhub suggests slapping the ribs against my ass 20-25 times (tenderizing is essential) before throwing them in the oven. Thing is, I’ve got a few festering sores back there so I don’t want to do that.
Any ideas?
Make those shorts ribs BIG with these 5 easy steps!
The heat of the oven ought to kill any bacteria, viruses, or fungus you might pick up back there. I say go for it.
Pour red wine vinegar all over your ass first. It will cauterize the open wounds and tenderize the ribs nicely. Everyone goes home in a limo!
1 teaspoon of thyme and 2 bay leaves. A random shot of a good balsamic vinegar helps too.
That chorizo & peppers omelet went down pretty nice.
Bell peppers? Poblano?
Bell & a small bit of the Anaheim we had left over. The goat cheese I added smoothed over the mild heat.

Last time I was in the Cotton Bowl was a Texxas Jam in August 1979, “The Last Concert of the Last Weekend of the Last Summer of the Seventies.” Point Blank, Billy Thorpe, Pat Travers, Little River Band, Foghat, and Rush. I wonder if the acid being sold in the stands today is of the same quality that I experienced all those years ago.
According to a roadie buddy of mine, ‘X’ amount of coke was included in The Little River Band’s rider.
Huzzah for the beak!
I ain’t gonna lie-that shit was fantastic in the short term.
Like I always say, I did a shit-ton of it one night, it was SO GOOD that I knew I could nae trust mahself ever to do it again.
/also “the blues” the morning after were some awful shite
Finally stopped enjoying it when I realized I was both older and fatter than John Entwhistle when he died. Alas, no hookers were involved in the decision..
While fun, it never lasted long enough to be worth both the cost and the hangover but holy hell it worked with the ladies back in the day.
it does help with the thinness ,, ppl forget that [snort]
Sounds more fun than VHalen’s “no Brown M&M” deal.
Saw Foghat in 1977 at the Forum and again at Palmer auditorium in Davenport Iowa in 1980. Pat Travers was an opening band for more shows than I can remember and I’ve seen Rush twice. That’s all I remember from the 70’s.
I’ve still got a lot of my old ticket stubs, so I could list a lot of shows attended, but I certainly couldn’t give much in the way of details.
In college football, do they give a “green dot” helmet with a headset built in to one of the defenders like in the NFL?
Not sure if the QBs even get one like that, I don’t see a dot. Maybe that’s why they always looking over at the sideline all the timei.
Pretty sure NCAA is no headsets. That’s why they got all the cards and shit.
Party guy on Friday night, I got back from WakeMed rehab hospital (transferred kid there from Greenville yesterday) at 5:40, was fast asleep by 6p. Did not get up until 7:15 this morning.

I was listening to Evan Silva on Rotoworld’s Friday podcast; their last of the week. I listen to hours of the guy every week of the season, so I feel confident in saying he was drunk. Slurring badly. And he sloppily let slip that he had some insider info on the Panthers-Giants. He had already been GUSHING about Carolina and Norv Turner specifically, so I’m imagining the info was pro-Carolina. I don’t bet anymore, but goddamn I feel like Richard Dreyfus at the beginning of “Let It Ride”.

It just occurred to me that there wasn’t a bunch on pink stuff on display during Thurs Pat-Horse game, although it’s breast cancer month. Maybe NFL is saving it for tomorrow?

Some of you guys are lawyers right? Well, since the TV says we are over an hour from the ABC game kickoff, I have a small claims question:
I need to serve a corporation with a “complaint and summons” and I have their registered statutory agent for AZ (it’s actually a telecom and they have three different entities I need to serve — all with the same agent) but it’s just “CT CORPORATE SYSTEM”. Since I don’t have a specific individual to send the service to, will they just refuse it and say, “You didn’t ask for Bob.”?
I don’t know AZ law from Shinola, but in CT you serve the agent and you’re good. You don’t need to serve “Bob Smith from Corporation X”
FUCK YOU, RED RIVER SHOOTOUT.
Any of you good folks encountered a reliable EPL stream?
I’ve found buffstreamz to be very good for football; not sure about their soccer but here’s a sample link: http://buffstreamz.com/watch/soccer.php
Urinating seems to be a fairly good replica
Oh? I didn’t know the fine people of BFC County get Cardinals TV broadcasts.
Issue 2: A two part question
A) given a format of RB, RB, WR, WR, TE, FLEX, FLEX, should I ever use 4 RBs, what with the preponderance of QB>WR scoring this year?
B) that being said, pick 2 for FLEX (my starting RBs are Zeke and Mixon)
Ajayi vs MIN
AP @ NO
Enunwa vs DEN (specifically C. Harris)
A. Collins @ CLE
Fitz @ SF
A. Morris vs ARI
B. Powell vs DEN
Thanks 1,000,000!
I’m starting AD against the Saints D.
All. Day.
this seems like the kind of game where Chris Thompson gets like 15 catches out of the backfield, plus the ankle owie. It’s also MNF so if a late scratch, totally boned.
Agreed. He practiced yesterday and the final injury report comes out after practice today. Fingers crossed! I’d love to see old-school AP running angry and just fucking a defense up.
Ajayi fo sho. Then probably roll the dice on Powell? I know he’s healthy at least.
hey, at least we get to roll out If your lineup don’t have Beatie Mixon then your Fantasy Side can use some fixinnnnnn this week, eh?
/a little scared about pitch count, but SeaTruther slot corner is supposedly going to take Kupp out of the festivities, so 95% sure will use him in my Flex
Marvin Lewis is a senile old coot. What was that shit this week?
I’m a hard sell on Fitz.
Which probably means Rosen will hit him for (4) TDs because 11 is where every non-good Arizona QB goes with every pass.
FRONK!
Brees vs. Wash or Goff vs. Seattle?
/I’ll hang up and listen
Well, the noise I’m hearing from the people who sit near me at Seahawks games is that they expect a Thomas-less defence to get lit up.
Breesus Christ is at home and #1 in the Rotowire rankings. Baby Buster is #3. I don’t envy the decision.
I like Goff until someone slows that offense down. I don’t think Seattle will have a chance against that pass attack without Earl Thomas.
On the other side, Washington is pretty good at rushing the passer, but it’s a shame they never let Josh Norman shadow WR1s like Mike Thomas. And I don’t think anyone can stop Kamara behind that line.
Washington has a good run blocking line too, though, and they’ve had a bye week AND an extra day to get everyone healthy. And Jordan Reed is still healthy! And while everyone is suggesting AP will get gamescripted out, I love the prospect of him running pissed off. In New Orleans on national TV to boot.
I hate to doubt Brees at home, and I don’t, really. But I cannot get the memory of Goff’s complete destruction of the Minnesota defense out of my mind.
You know what’s worse than having a cold? Having a cold and having to go to IKEA.

I bet reindeer is fucking delicious
I had a chance to try reindeer when I was in Denver but I went safe with elk instead.
The elk was amazing.
Never had an exotic meat I didn’t enjoy, but also never tried bear (at the warning of my Cherokee friend from college).
This. Elk is delicious.

11 v. 10, hopefully I get the Everton WOO!!! win or max points in Prediction League (I had 1-1 with Richarlison bagging 1st goal)
South Africa v New Zealand is on my teevee right now, and I am very happy.
Yo hippo! You giving NFL fantasy advice today? Or wait till tomorrow.
let ‘er rip!
Ok. Issue 1: Mahomes or Cousins? (Brady already dropped 33 on me on Thursday)
Rotowire has Mahomes-y #5 and Cap’n Dingleberry #12. But Philly has a great run D and Minny throws like 71% of the time. Check the weather, if it gives you ANY excuse, go with Dingleberry. JAX is the only pass defense one should legitimately fade.
I can bet on the Fiji and Rwanda Cup but I can’t bet on Swiss futbol? What the fuck???
NVM I can.
Hippo who do like in today’s Fijian fixtures? Lami FC v Tailevu Naitasiri or Nadroga FC v Taveuni FC.
Seriously there has to be point shaving in shit like this. How I can gamble on it from my living room is ridiculous. Chinese triads would have their hands so deep in match fixing it is ridiculous. Tell some defender from a Fijian club team to let a guy go past him and here is 10 grand, then bet the shit out of it on all platforms.

And when are The Young Boys going to play with the Of Age Girls? FOOTY FANS WANT TO KNOW!
Shit, it was early when I read it. My bad, I just love our Young Boys so much, the authorities may say too much.
How ugly is Cuse vs. Pitt gonna be? Thinking about watching my 2nd Cuse football game.
Pitt is an abomination. They managed to lose to U*NC, FFS.
Hmm… I do like it when the ‘Tard Heels are lousy…
Handsome Marco experimenting with Richarlison up top, allowing other one-named Brasilian (tiny Bernard) to get into the XI FOAR maximum sexiness.
pays off IMMEDIATELY. Bernard takes away a few defenders’ jocks, crosses for a Richarlison 7th minute tap in. 0-1 to the good. Siggy almost got a 2nd, and very easily could have been a pen on Foxes.
Hopefully you guys get 6th and knock Man U down a peg.
6th would be immense. Long-term, we need Chelski to sell us Kurt Zouma, he’s immense at CB. Maybe they’d do it to make Manure quit tapping him up?
I had already bet the shit out of Coach O’s Tiggers.
Hippo I appreciate the kind words about Mighty Whitey but alas we were awful until December last year but then went undefeated until May. I am still not concerned about relegation but will be freaking out come December should they still be in 17th.
Everton in all white today. SOLIDARITY!
Truer words, my friend. Never spoken. Gon’ be and interesting day in the ACC Atlantic.
I wouldn’t bet these games on….well, a bet.
I bet on Wake to cover when it was still 17.5. Tis now 20.5. GULP.
