So Much #NuAIDS, So Little Game Time Open Thread

So…not sure that the JV world is looking so hot right now.  Almost as many fixtures being 86’d this week as are being played.  And that doesn’t even begin to touch on the hardwood shitshow.

Good thing all Commentists in Good Standing have converted to the sweet siren song of Lesser Footy, eh?

Villa away to Wolves (7:30, Peacock) is pretty solid fare, for the early bird slot.  Come for the Portugeuse Hobo manager, stay for me and Litre screaming about how much of a cunt Jack Grealish is!

Barcodes and Brummies are up next (10:00, Peacock), and Hippo humbly suggests a nap.  Man, a multi-nap day is just proper good Plague Year livin!

Spotlight Dance lives up to its name this week, with the Manchester Derby (12:30, NBC).  A bit of extra spice added by how badly each beleagured manager could use a signature win.  Phrases like “signature win” are poison to British ears, but methinks am safe here.

Let’s try not to linger on Everton’s fixture with noted Tory Cunt Frank Lampard (3:00, Peacock).  All the “yeeehaw, lookit Chelski’ Murrikan player” certainly will make my mood that much darker.  But I will let the “action” on the pitch carry most of the rage freight.  Jeebus, being on piss poor form is ass-flvoUred ass.

Georgia (-14) at Missouri (Noon, SECN)

Do not adjust your non-dials, Mizzou IS actually ranked!  I suspect they either win, or get their asses handed to them.  FOAR reasons.

Utah (+2.5) at Colorado (Noon, Fox)

This here match is being held at 10am local time.  It’s actually NINE by Team Secular Big Love’s body clocks, but one expects they are likely MOAR effective morning persons than Boulder’s midnight tokers.

Navy (+7.5) v. Army (3:00, CBS)

No stand-alone time slot, wonder if they even bother reporting the TV ratings?  At least they didn’t fuck the Military Industrial Complex off to CBSSN.

Wisconsin (-2) at Iowa (3:30, FS1)

Hey, y’all?  Ah see fat ppl!

Cal (-1.5) at Washington State (4:00, Fox)

Yes, this is just an excuse to post their cheerleaders again.  I’m not made of stone!!

USC (-3.5) at UCLA (7:30, ABC)

You know it’s FITBAW in Los Angeles, because nobody gives a tin shit.  Fat Chip seems to have saved his Westwood Klavern bacon, which is most unfortunate.

Stanford (-3) at Oregon State (10:00, ESPNU)

How can fucking Trees be favoUred against a pack of Beavers?  It makes no fucking sense.

It means that car is a real pussy wagon, honey.

Another example: “Sloppy seconds ain’t my style.”

Fun fact: Stan Lee appeared to be unaware of the exact meaning of that expression, which is why you can find it used in some of the early Marvel Comics. I can only assume that the Comics Code Authority folks didn’t catch it either.

In their defense, if you watched the entirety of that game, your IQ would’ve dropped down a couple of percentiles, too.

Starting QB for LSU is Brad Johnson’s kid.

I wonder if he’ll be kinda effective, but bland and forgettable.

Confession time: when I was younger I had issues with the homeless, especially in my backyard. Guilty as charged. Age changes perspective though and now their situation breaks my heart.

There are so many recent homeless folks out there that it’s horrifying.

Here in San Pedro there was a very large encampment that was just cleared out. Long Beach did another one yesterday. These poor bastards are setting up their tent cities near places that serve them meals, near places where they can get their mail and take a shower and use a computer or charge their phones. Now they’re getting booted out in the middle of a raging pandemic and given no direction on where to go nor given any options for housing.

Fucking hell.

“There but for the grace of God go I” is a saying that has gained a lot of traction with me despite the fact that I’ve gotten less and less religious as I’ve aged.

No doubt. Faced down with a major calamity and it could happen to anyone.

Why not just force people from Huntington Beach out of their homes and give them to the hobos who poop on the sidewalk the best?

I mean, that’s what they told me Biden was gonna do and I’ll be GOT DAMNED if you’re gonna make liars out of these FINE PATRIOTS.

Could we put the Huntington Beach residents in camps? Camps seem like a good solution for them.

My bad, sir.

Sarah Fuller has kicked a PAT for Vanderbilt, making her the first woman to score points in an SEC football game.

The most shocking thing about it, of course, being that Vanderbilt scored a TD to put Fuller in position to kick a PAT.

I’d like her to kick my ball between some goalposts, if you know what I mean.

Or maybe she can onside my, um, field goal?

Dammit, I’m bad at this.

No, no, you’re great at this. Let’s put a pin in a couple of these and see what we can’t workshop later.

UConn men’s hockey is up 3-0 on #2 BC, then one of the UConn kids put a shot through the plexiglass behind the net, (the replay is glorious), and now there’s a delay while they replace the plexiglass and my question is…Why replace it? There are no fans behind the net, or anywhere else! Just clean it up and let’s fucking go.

That nap was glorious. I think anglosaxon countries really missed the boat with the whole siesta thing.

Dunstan

Traditional Anglosphere corporations: “Grr, that’s terrible! Sleep when you’re dead! We built this country on the Protestant work ethic!”

Silicon Valley companies: “Oh, we provide napping stations for our employees, complete with 2000-thread count sheets, pillows of every level of softness or firmness, and milk and cookies. We believe there’s nothing like a 30-minute catnap to refresh our workers in between 32-hour work sessions.”

Man, if these Army-Navy kids think that the government doesn’t give a shit about them by playing this game during a pandemic, wait’ll they become veterans and have to deal with the VA.

Member when Karl Rove and Co. convinced 49% of the country that “supporting the troops” involved “supporting” deploying them to a foreign country to be shot at and blowed up? I member.

In all fairness, most US deployments over the ages were to kill or be killed in service of corporate interests…. Hell, you lads wage wars or rather “police actions” every time a president gets caught with his pants down or doing business with the wrong despots 😀

Hey Panama was like that when we got there, OK!?

Well, one of their grandkids stole my Alessandro Del Piero collectible card, but it’s a bit of an overkill to bomb someone for a duplicate card 😀

Dunstan

If I had to come up with something good about Trump’s political rise, it would be that he gave permission for Republicans to acknowledge that there is such a thing as a bad military deployment and that you can bring the troops home without being a cheese-eating French surrendermonkey who hates the troops.

Of course, Trump Republicans now like to pretend that their party invented the idea that bringing troops home is a good thing. Nothing Trump does is 100% good.

bk109

VA? Mate, wait until they get their first deployment and discover that they have to ask friends to send them batteries, socks, better gun lube and fucking Kevlar…. all the while the DoD wastes more cash on the nth project to replace Y-piece of kit (ie the latest-est-est attempt to move on from the M4/M16 to someting that fires the same ammo from the same barrel length… but must somehow be TOTALLY new and 1000000% moar better) than it’d take to outfit everyone with decent ballistic protection

Btw, the best gift (outside of AA and AAA batteries, socks, gun lube or SAPI plates is a pron drive ( the bigger the better). TV/Movies work too, but porn is apparently worth its weight in gold 😀

Nah, I want my troops blue-balled and ready to KILL FOR MY FREEDOM.
