Rejoice, for the Merry Brits are bringing the sport lumber today!
NBCSN has a quardruple-header, starting with Fulham/Wolves (NOW, nil-nil as the second half gets under way). This is followed by a terrible Bardodes at Redshit fixture (10:00), then two pretty decent ones – Brighton/Arsenal (noon), and Chelsea/Watford (2:30).
Of course 10:00 (3p local time) is the standard Boxing Day kickoff, so there will be tons on NBC Gold – led, TOTES unbiasedly – by Everton hosting Burnley. Burnley have been dreadful early, but steadied the ship the last few weeks. Whilst my beloved Toffees have been the opposite, dreadful the last several fixtures, culminating in a 2-6 capitulation to Spurs that dropped us to 11th position. Time to fix that shite! Man City face off against Leicester, as well.
Additionally, JV NFL exhibitions are back!
Boston College (+2.5) v. Boise State (1:30, ESPN – Lesser Cotton Bowl, Dallas, TX)
Yes, the pictured Molly McGrath’s alma mater takes on the Smurf Turfers. Fresno State already showed that physicality bothers the Famous Potatoes, so I’m taking the ACC side in this’un. YMMV.
Minnesota (+6) v. Georgia Tech (5:15, ESPN – Abandoned Auto Plant Bowl, Detroit, MI)
Here’s TWO sides I would like to fade, but with Paul Johnson shitcanned/retired – will these veer specialists be uneasy as to their future? I dunno, but the Bees are awful. Go with the Gophers and their coach with the weird, painted-on-tie shirts.
TCU (+1) v. California (9:00, ESPN – Diamondbacks MRSA Pool Bowl, Phoenix, AZ)
There may not be fireworks, sure, but I was able to fudge the O/U here to a miniscule 35.5. Surely these chucklefucks can cover THAT? Anyway, I have a Thursday morning work meeting, so will probably fuck this one off at the half.
Here’s your weather delay fill-in material

Nice start for BC moneyline wager!
The good: United looks great.
The bad: They’re courting Diego Costa. Woof.
“Working” from a bar is the best kind of working remote.
I’m watching the Mythbusters marathon. Because I am a dork. And because this episode involves dogs.
I think for some reason that at least one of those dudes is a Wolven Sort?
Not sure about them, but both these guys are….

Dunno why I keep betting on SPAL. But at least it gives me sommet to watch (ESPN+)
I just dropped a shitload of coin on BC ATS.
Maybe if I win I can afford to take Molly out for pie.

Hee hee
/yesterday at a family trivia contest
Opponent: “Name the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.”
Me: [quickly] “Death, Famine, War and…and… Nathan?”

Molly’s pipes and smile are delicious.
She does the best Gun Show in sport!

Which distillery lost all those hundreds of barrels of bourbon this year?
Wherever it was, I wasn’t there.

Son of a bitch.
Wow! Everton REALLY wanted to wash that bad taste out of their mouths.

I bought a Sir Bobby Moore t-shirt to wear during West Ham matches. It looks great except he ends up looking like Van Morrison when stretched over my fat gut.
