Hey, how y’all like the pidgin-espanol for “combination?” Although it won’t mean MOAR until next weekend, there’s enough on the JV slate to merit some discussion.
First, the Lesser Footy. Rise and shine early for the UNDEFEATED, UN-DRAWN Muthafuckin’ Toffees! This week brings home to West Brom (7:30, Peacock), and the inevitable, crushing letdown performance. Prove me wrong, shiny new midfield!
Continuing with its lovely, made-fer-teevee scheduling, the 10a window contains only Leeds hosting our beloved Mighty Whitey (10:00, Peacock). Per Litre, Leeds rested folks mid-week, and got bit in the bollocks and are now out of Caribou contention. Fulham won 1-nil, and marched on. But this is the fixture they really need, after a meek showing Week One.
Palace away to Ole Gunnar’s United is your (apparently NAWT) spotlight dance (12:30, Peacock), and this is the type of fixture that has sometimes tripped up the Red Devils of late. Of course, I predicted them to make the Great Leap Forward in 2020-21, and if such prediction is right…a comfortable home win is in the cards. We shall have to wait for Wakey Reacts Reasonably.
I guess this is the weekend NBC’s goons lean heavy on folk to sign up for Peacock? Still, Hammers at Gooners is a tiny heroine drip for the fee-resistant (3:00, NBCSN). This should be a hammering, and not to David Moyes’ good side.
Another quadruple-header is on tap for Sunday, with the key match (Redshite at Chelski) bleeding 20-ish minutes into RedZone. No. Smire. All but the 2p match (which nobody will watch) are Peacock-only.
Bundesliga and Serie A start in full, with another smattering of HAWT Santander action. Fuck knows where everything will be broadcast, let’s figure that out together! Don’t forget your Mexi-channels.
Litre’s descent into madness London Jaguras (Fulham) edition
I got this idea by Horatio watching my meltdowns on Twitter, so week by week I am going to attempt to convey what it feels like to be a supporter who’s club is constantly trying to avoid relegation. This week Fulham got hided in the opener against Arsenal, and beat Ipswich Town in the Caribou Cup. My thoughts this week;
Well fuck, I didn’t think we would win anyway. How the fuck can we expect to do so with basically the same cb’s that got us relegated last year? I hope Mitro isn’t that hurt, why did he start on the bench? Lets bring the new boys in midweek.
Hey, we beat Ipswich Town! Ok, we are ready to beat Leeds just like we did last year! Back 4 are gelling and we will be fine……

Friday night, ESPN televised Campbell at Coastal Carolina. I shit you not. So, take whatever competitive morsels you can get, and learn to love it.
Tulsa (+22.5) at Oklahoma State (Noon, ESPN)
Fuck me, it will be strange to see a home BDSM State fixture, without the array of orange paddlers. It will be almost like my nomenclature don’t make no sense or some shit.
Houston (+4) at Baylor (Noon, Fox)
The ultimate chaos game, was hastily scheduled (like 6 days in advance, poor grad assistants) after both sides lost their opening opponent to teh #NuAIDS. In other words…take the points, who the fuck knows what will happen. Plus, BayBay is replacing NINE defensive starters.
Central Florida (-7.5) at Georgia Tech (3:30, ABC)
Holy cats, Vegas sure ain’t buying the Bees, coming off an opening win in Tallahassee. For so long, the Hitler Mice were underrated, but this seems quite the over-reaction. I will surely bet this one, and lose.
Miami (+2.5) at Louisville (7:30, ABC)
Both these sides are (foolishly) ranked, for what the fuck-ever that means in a September like this. The coaches are good, so maybe this will be watchable.
Wake Forest (+1.5) at NC State (8:00, ACCN)
No shit, this is the LATE game this week. Absolutely fuckall for the West Coast viewer/insomniac/tweaker. Running joke in Wolven Land is that we finally (for reals, almost every September game of late has been at noon, and reminiscent of the Bataan Death March) get a September night game in Carter-Finley…and no fans can attend. Wake is usually weakest early (lots of timing-based stuff in their offense), and my Wolven Sort are likely vile shite again. But you absolutely should watch. Because I have to, and you don’t want tWBS’ ghost to haunt your ass.
LOL
just thought about a scenario where Nancy Pelosi becomes president
Please keep your creepy political fanfic where it bloody belongs… on the Editorial page 😛

While many assumed “Q” meant Queen, her deep held secret was that it was a subtle nod to her fluid sexuality and so actually was shorthand for “Questioning”.
My Crystal Palatians (Palacios? Pellatios?) with an early lead at Old Trafford.
You know, we joke a lot about a meteor hitting a stadium where two unlikeable teams are playing, but YES is showing Duke vs. BC and I find myself looking out the window and up to the heavens while muttering “if ever there were a time…”
No need for that this year. Just need a likely and good COVID-19 outbreak.
I mean, JFC.

Son and I had an understanding that he couldn’t do certain things on work days and he broke that agreement so I suspended him for a day and then gave him 2 fourteen hour days followed by two more workdays where he had to wake up at 4am to deliver product. He slept for 13 hours last night, got up, had breakfast and went straight back to bed. I think we have a renewed understanding between us.
You can tell Scotchy’s Canadian because he made his child face consequences for his actions. That shit would never fly in the US.
It’s just a little cocaine, it actually makes him a better forklift driver, cmon!
Hey Scotchy’s kid, tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes a night without a little bump and see how he likes it!
#Pray4Wakey
He is in the bush in BC with his inlaws. Defo pray for him.
Seems we lost JV 500s v. BayBay
Big 10: “Oh, games are still gettting canceled every week and swaths of teams quarantined?”
Big 10: “OK, let’s reinstate the season!”
Bay Bay had an outbreak, and surprisingly enough, acknowledged the problem!
Fuckton of yeehaws attending BDSM State fixture too
BDSM state. Hmmmm detecting non futbol, but JV footbaw. No idea who you are speaking of.
Okiehoma State, due to their long orange paddles spanking the stands.
Breakin’ Snooze, Rich Team Uses Cash To Keep Smaller Club Small… aka:
Liverpool have announced the signing of Wolves’ Diogo Jota.
I’m not enjoying Pogacar’s see-through yoga pants.
I did enjoy his pedaling effort though.
Just got done coaching Fronkenspawn’s U10 Bulldogs to a thrilling 2-1 victory. Now I’m waiting for father in law & great grandpa to make a quick lunch stop on their way to Delaware. Thrilled for Hippo. Sad for Litre. Hammers at 3:00. My fantasy footy squad is facing Chubb this week, so I already lost. And I’m so snakebit at daily fantasy betting, I may lay off even THAT for a week. Sounds like a good night to binge watch “Chernobyl “ on the hbo.
Oh, and the country is over.
“On their way to Delaware”
Are they a corporation? Otherwise, why?
I’m note sure I could walk up some of these hills the Tour de France riders are pedaling up right now.
Of course, I’m also not jacked to the gills on EPO, so tomato, tomahto.
“The secret to a good Tomato EPO? Just a pinch of nutmeg-trust me on this.”
-yeahright
found a funny:
her: let’s role play
Me: ok I’ll be elmo and you’ll be-
Her: elmo?
Me: oh fuck yes two elmos
Mighty Whiteys showing a brown streak
I am watching Swansea v Birmingham missing the C’ship.
And miss the lesser Minshew Mania?
Madness!
We had a birthday party with a summer fair theme last night, so my wife and I got our frying skillet out and made fried Oreos and fried Twinkies, and I’m pretty sure those have done irrepairable damage to my digestive system.
All the beer isn’t helping either.
I am truly sorry, but this is just too easy-a-setup to miss… Again, sorry, but…
Just shit it out, you pusseh!
Oh, I am clearly going to be spending some quality time alone with the New York Times later today.
Nice, usually I go with Aviation Week (or a similar emag). After particularly painfully wrong food choices I just put TalkSport and pray for the sweet, cold embrace of death 😀
Send Fulham back down already. They’ve caught the Jaguras stank.
Please. It would make my Saturdays more enjoyable.
Not dead yet!
/points at Litre, who is rocking back and forth in the corner, sobbing
Have you no decency, Sir; at long last, have you no deceny?
Shooting at Pennsylvania Avenue!
…in Rochester, NY.
Meanwhile, at Casa De BK, a moment of clarity occurred, when I realized that a 30-something IT guy probably shouldn’t react to a model kit’s inaccuracy with “Oh, this is bullshit, on my actual tank that whip antenna mount doesn’t look at all like this” XD
Democrats’ “when we take back the senate…” calls sound awful similar to King George’s announcements for “when I take Connecticut back…”
I am still waiting for Bernie to flip on nuking the filibuster. That’s essential.
I have no problem keeping the filibuster so long as it’s required that the senator actually, you know, filibuster, rather than just say the magic words and everyone goes “Oh, OK”, and then sits on their asses.
Sad that more filibusters haven’t been amusing enough to watch live or PPV or something
Hmm so in 200 years the Dems will have a separate, but mostly the same Senate slightly to the north that is home to a few good people
George, you will take my New Haven pizza from me when you pry it from my cold, dead, greasy hands.
I hate this fucking team. But I fucking love them. Fucking roller coaster.
I donated to a bunch of Senate candidates last night and don’t feel any better. Fucking McConnell
Cal Cunningham is kind of a weasely fuck (apologies to Senor) but I just might give him moneys now.
Just don’t waste any money on Mitch’s opponent, Amy McGrath. So far she’s turned a $46 million war chest into a 12 point deficit. Focus donations of races that can flip the Senate, (ME, AZ, CO, NC, maybe SC & IA), and render that no-neck-having motherfucker irrelevant.
Yeah, Kenfucky is a lost cause at the federal level. If you want a deep long shot, try Jamie Harrison in South Cakalaky. Impressive dude.
I’ve seen some polls indicating that Lady G is in trouble, but I’ll believe it when I see him hauled out of his office, digging his nails into the floor and screaming that it isn’t fair, it isn’t fair, it just isn’t fair.
But yeah, I’d donate to Harrison well before McGrath.
Yeah, we are talking like 5% chance. But there is genuine leftward movement in the Charleston area (excellent new Demmycratic Congressman). It’s possible in a perfect storm.
I know Jaime personally. Trust me, I’ve already been donating to him. Last night I also donated to Greenfield, Gideon, And Cunningham.
STICK TO SPROTS.. I mean Sprouts…
Obvious joke aside, any news on whether or not the GOP will try to replace Ginsburg, despite Graham’s statements to the contrary?
It’s going to be interesting. They’ll definitely try. Supposedly four GOP Senators, (Murkowski, Collins, Romney, and Grassley), have “committed” to not voting to fill the seat until after the inauguration, but politicians have been know to be less than beholden to their commitments.
The only one who will actually hold to that is Murkowski. Maybe.
I can see all 4 holding to it, and I can all but Romney rethinking it.
I think that 2/3 of everything Romney does or says is to try to give Trump a(nother) stroke.
Yes, but a return to Lochner-era jurisprudence? Mighty tempting for Willard.
Yeah, I can always spot an issue in those 4 – Collins will just hem and haw and then vote with the GOP as per usual. Not sure about Grassley and Murkowski, but the fragmentary info I have on them suggests that they’ll also quickly forget their claims and vote along party lines with only Romney having a bit of a backbone (shocker, I know) to actually remain against installing the next Cavanaugh
McConnell and the President both said they’re filling it. Assholes.
IF, and that’s a mighty big if, all four of the senators list above, there would be a 49-51 split against any vote, which would be great.
So of course at least two of them will renege.
Plus Manchin. He will vote with us, but only if have the numbers to win.
Forgot about ol’ Joe.
You’re forgetting that some Southern Democrats may defect on that one, especially if they’re not running next cycle (or have a somewhat more “conservative” districts), so 49-51 may very well be 51:49 with the GOP quartet
Doug Jones out of Alabama would be the only Southern Democratic Senator, and he’s already voted against Kavanaugh. He’s not crossing lines for this one.
He’s also not going to get reelected, although I’m going to donate to his campaign.
I hope you’re right, I’m just erring on the side of “I trusted you fuckers in 2016, so now I’m expecting you lot to DERP” . We’ll see in a couple of months, I guess?
…
Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell vowed to put President Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee to a vote within hours of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death being announced, sparking outrage among Democrats.
…
Wow, even for McConnell stating that while rigor mortis hasn’t even set in is a new goddamn low
Leeds manager looks like Patton Oswalt and GOP Rep. Peter King had a baby.
For fucks sake, I can’t do this all season.
Don’t worry, the beer bug will help you out in … let’s call it a month, 45 days tops (yes, I’m a pessimistic sod)
#Nu-erAIDS???
spotted in a London park
Better than a Micheal Jackson statue.
Tee hee!
Joke: How do you know it’s bedtime at Neverland Ranch?
Answer: the big hand is over the little hand
In all fairness, after Libya got Freedom’d for fun and profit, people are now crying for the “bad old days”, ’cause apparently people preferred a somewhat unhinged cunt that actually invested in his country vs a multi-lateral civil war 😀
also padres got the W last nite
gooooo padres!
gonna chill and watch planet earth 2
gooo animals!
Up before dawn’s crack to watch the 24 hours of Le Mans!
And a bunch of pedaling cheaters. Lesser footy has been relegated off screen.
You don’t want to watch this one anyway, it could be ugly (angry for me).
Well, that was the wrong game to ignore in favour of testing the new build of FS2020… oh well, at least I hit my longshot goals over 😉
Trust me, ignore this one too.
… I see what you’re doing there…. I buried myself into FS2020 (by the way, the faint cursing from the east is me dealing with the new FMS bugs) and suddenly a DFOer team discovered how to not suck, so … now… I AM ONTO YOU XD
London Jaguras release their starting lineup and…….I like it.
/will get thumped 3 nil.
Hat trick, bitches!!!!
/yeah, Sky, Everton really needed a “proven striker”
I would like to have Him-ez’ babies
/no homo

Just registered 3 yr old Decilitre for indoor soccer. I guarantee in a few years once he knows what he is doing his coach will make him a cb or gk.
My boy’s brief stint with soccer mostly involved standing still and/or crying
What is this “Soccer” ? Do you mean footy??
Futsal is indoor no?
I like this era where Everton can catch breaks, even when they’ve been shite.
10-man Brummies. Of course. 2020.
He was arguably the most dangerous player in the ‘Ship last year.
“Have it all to do” is another bit of Lesser-speak that needs to enter NFL broadcasting.
Still seeing a lot of pearl clutching over McConnell being a huge piece of shit like he didn’t filibuster HIS OWN BILL out of spite because Harry Reid agreed with him on something
This country is fucked. Hopefully, the caucus at least does away with the filibuster now. Cold comfort for what is on our way.
Can’t seem to find it now, but Jon Stewart laid it out perfectly after one of his panels with a slowly dying and dwindling group of 9/11 first responders maybe 8 years ago where he said that Mitch McConnell is a heartless, soulless political machine who will stoop to any level to accomplish his party’s agenda. Not everything from the CC talk shows hold up as well these days, but one thing that still separates that era of the show from even today’s news media is they had no illusions about any sort of good faith or honor in Washington.
I’d like to invite all the Southern California DFO survivors of last night’s earthquake to participate in a support group I’m forming to deal with the trauma. Drinks will be served.
I evacuated to the east coast but still will drink for the emotional trauma
Shall we say Treehouse at noon?
/just kidding, they’re only open for pick-ups by car, and no one wants to spend 90 winding their way through parking lots in my Big Jim campervan.
Let’s see what Duck Duck Go thinks
That’s just good hustle!
quack quack
So bad that Mike Dean gives a straight red for a foul directed towards EVERTON
Swarthy manager also gets a red. Fuck knows what he was complaining about.
#CrazyCatPersonLyf update – last night, I managed to crack a rib chasing a half-ded bunny around my living room.
To her credit, Hippo Spawn did help. Not just shriek hysterically.
OH AND Him-ez SEXY!!!!

My neighboUr 3 units down really likes to party. I reckon he is about 40ish, wears a uniform to work that means he is either a dealer at the casino or the strip club DJ. They basically wear the same thing.
I just smoked a bowl on the balcony, while he was as well. Clearly the cocaine train stopped in last night.
As I always say, there are two types of ppl in the world – those who love cocaine, and those who have never tried cocaine.
1-1 was what I submitted in Prediction League
I read that as morels, and was interested in your gambling mushrooms.
King Trumpet (-3) against all comers!
I always got more excite over them fire-shootin’ flowers, but we all got our Mario pecadilloes
Unless… can ghosts wear harnesses?
Hippo, now that your bankroll is back who do you have action on today?
Blue Cruise and Puebla came in for me last night. Hail SexiMexi futbol!
I bet on y’all. SoUrry, eh?
C’MON HIPPO GIVE US A CHANCE!!!!!
I just went to the toilet and the Bagmen get one? What happened???
West Brom win the ball back and break quickly. Summer signing Grady Diangana is allowed to carry it all the way through the middle and to the edge of the box as Everton’s defence just keep backing off.
He waits for support but when it doesn’t arrive in time, thinks ‘why not?’ And has a go from 20 yards.
It flies past Jordan Pickford, who was very slow to react.
Or at least that’s the official story…
The truth is, Hippo’s mush is just a thing to behold 😀
Mina and Keane really don’t work as a centre-half partnership.
GOAL – Everton 0-1 West Brom
Uhhh, you okay there, Hippo?
This was always gonna happen. Yikes.
It was my morning to sleep in, I decided to get up and watch the Toffee Hippoes v the Bagmen who suspiciously look like Norwich.
Tim Howard, describing Goodison Park a few minutes ago – “paradise”
Yeah, it’s sad when CTE symptoms start showin’
TBH it is nicer around Goodison than Anfield. Shit, that neighboUrhood reminds me of the 2 Glaswegian ‘hoods round Parkhead and Ibrox.
*belch* G’mor…(Wait, it’s Noon?! The fark?!) G’day to all of ya degenerate pervosaurs and pervosaurettes. Happy SportsDay to y’all and to all a winning bet (and treasure these moments, ’cause apparently the Beer Bug 2: Electric Coughaloo is gaining steam) …
