Welcome to July (or Jew-LIE!!!! if from Mississippi), with Lesser Footy now back in full swing.  Most of the fixtures are even watchable now!

First, a tribute.  Pretend Man City (2048-49 season) just signed a shit-hot new Keeper, England’s #1 at the age of 23.  He’s 6’4″ and Black Like Me (in the game), with the first name Ricardo.  This reminded one of a certain, beloved Portland Commentist….so he has earned the moniker Big Black Ricardo!  More on how he develops as Pretend Time marches on.

Back to reality, you say?  U noe u setting your alarm for Norwich/Brighton (7:30, NBCSN).  Yes, is the Trash Birds Derby!  20th and 15th in the Table (respectively), so while it ain’t quite a “Classic Six Pointer” – is close enough.

Palace and Leicester (10:00) are your only NBC Gold matchup, with Manure/Cherries the NBCSN choice.  Fuck, how I love that the Premiership is spreading out start times better, for MOAR teevee exposure.  We need the content!

In the Spotlight Dance timeslot, you get a fun, important tie (Gooners v. Wolves, 12:30). But alas, it’s on NBCSN only.  Hey, no need to flip channels to stick with Rebecc-ur and the boys!  Moose Hornets are away to reeling Chelski (3:00, NBCSN) to wrap up your day.  It’s a good, full slate.

You also get 4 matches for Sunday Funday, all on NBCSN except City/Saints (2:00, NBC), which should be a bloodening.

Enjoy the action, even if you have to wait for Monday Night Footy for one’s Toffee fix (away to Spurs, 3:00, NBCSN).  Don Carlo Ancelotti has been an absolute wizard on Merseyside, especially after the #NuAIDS layoff.  And how one loves seeing Mourinho in his managerial death throes.
