Your Weekend o’ Plenty – Early Lesser Footy and JV NFL Fun Times

Are you ready to watch a shit ton of FITBAW?  Think of it as kegel exercises, warming up for RedZone Week 2.

You may not WANT to wake up for Wolves and Bees (NBCSN, 7:30), but if you think about it, tis a pretty interesting animal battle.  Is a Wolf dog-ish enough to try to stupidly eat the Bee?  The only dog my family ever owned (before I left home, and could no longer stop my Dad and sister’s mutual idiocy, selecting the stupidest, smelliest, and home-destroying beasts they could find) would do that.  Natural consequences followed.  I will watch detachedly, as is befitting of my Crazy Cat Person status.

Only four matches in the 10:00 window, which is better than it has been (damning with faint praise).  Blue Mancs will murder-kill Saints on USA, so I will enjoy the Handsome Mikel Shitshow, taking on Team White Lives Matter (NBCSN).  There may be a soccer point, but then again, there may not.

*smoke bomb occurs and Wakezilla emerges from the smoke*|

Welcome to our weekly(ish) edition of laughing at Manchester City. I’m your host, Wakezilla. Follow me every week(ish) as I point out all the cracks that Blood Oil City has as they crash and burn this season.


First up, Benjamin Mendy has been charged with four counts of rape.
He will be joining Adam Johnson and Robinho on Man City’s sex offenders penal team. I don’t know how much he’ll get, but I will say, a few days before he was charged with rape, Mendy had leaked picks of him cranking his chain. Based on those pictures alone, the judge should add an extra 10 years just to be safe. In short, City went in the summer transfer window with hopes of signing Messi, Kane and Ronaldo and they ended up with Floppy disk Jack Grealish and a rape charge.Speaking of Jack Grealish, here’s a  video of Leicester’s mascot diving behind Grealish.There are 19 teams that Jack could have signed with and he would still be beloved by English footy fans; and he wouldn’t get ridiculed or clowned. Drunk Jack had to pick the one team that would make everyone collectively hate him. Well done, Jack.As for this week’s main event, here’s an absolutely burned out–and absolutely not at all being forced to manage a team he doesn’t want– Pep Guardiola pleading with Man Shitty fans to attend a home lesser footy match:

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Unsurprisingly, that plea didn’t sit well with the Man City fans. Earlier Friday, Pep held a press conference and was forced to apologize to all 6 Man Shitty fans.

Until next time, DFOers, Up the fookin’ Reds!  Wakezila throws down another smoke bomb and disappears
——————————————————————————————————————————————

Hard hitting analysis is why they pay me so handsomely.

Also, you can stream Trashbirds and Moose Hornets (I hate myself enough to do this), or you can hate-watch Palace and the Shite (I don’t quite hate myself enough to subject my addled mind to that).

Spotlight Dance?  Everton and Villa (NBC, 12:30).  I predict this is when the wheels finally fall off the unfortunate Benitez bandwagon.  The early fixture list has been remarkably accomodating, and that fat cunt will have the wagon in tatters before Kwanzaa.  YOU MARK HIPPO’S WORDS!!

Men Untied get Fronk’s Hammer’s on Sunday Funday (9:00, NBCSN), along with two boring streaming options.  That’s ok, Heroic RedZone Muzak awaits!

Nebraska (+22.5) at Oklahoma (Noon, Fox)

This is notable only FOAR Gus Johnson, who will call this fixture, then head to the desert to call Qards/Vikes with…Hippo FavoUrite Aqib “Two of the Good Ones” Talib!  And Gus has already deadpanned that he will leave any gold chains at home, to avoid a snatching.  Also, Jeebus Tapdancing Christ, I get that Steerfuckers North plays down to the competition, but if they are even moderately motivated, they will cover this spread a few minutes into Q2.

Cincinnati (-3.5) at Indiana (Noon, ESPN)

On the one hand, this is the Trappiest Trap Game EVAR Trapped (JV WKRP gets Notre Dame next).  On the other, God very specifically and vehemently hates Brocky, and Her will be done.

Virginia Tech (+2.5) at West By God Virginia (Noon, FS1)

The Castrated Turkeys may be 15th in the polls, but Vegas ain’t having it.  We can at least be a good WCS support group for a bit.

Purdue (+7) at Notre Dame (2:30, NBC)

Purdue will have this game in hand, and manage to cock it up at the end.  Again, yew mark Hippo’s word salad.

Alabama (-14.5) at Florida (3:30, CBS)

Theoretically, a test.  But that GAMBLOR line has been racing in Roll Damn Tide’s favoUr.  And I ain’t buying what the folk of Gainesville have to sell.  But still, good for scouting next year’s NFL Draft.

Southern Cal (-7.5) at Washington State (3:30, Fox)

Pour one out (and rub one out, given Song Girl pic) for poor, over his head Clay Helton.  At least he is spared the trip to Pullman.  Though the Wazzu fans know doubt would have liked to serenade him with You’re Getting Sacked in the Morning.  OK, I would have enjoyed it.  Que lastima.  ML the Cougs.

That’s unfortunate.

I was hoping it was Berenson.

I know they are supposed to be a claw, but every time I see Cincinnati’s logo it looks to me more like a half-assed failed logo for Chick-Fil-A; that’s a cock’s comb, not a bearcat claw.

Before the mid-2000s, it used to be straight up but the someone found out about CRTL+i and then they messed with the logo. Seriously, it looks like the last footprint a bearcat makes before it loses its footing and trumbles.

UConn is down 14-0 with true freshmen at QB and RB, so I’m going to do what Army should have done in Afghanistan 10 years ago: declare victory and get the fuck out.

Too bad nobody PASSED them the intelligence that would have prevented them from blowing up Afghan children.

That ‘righteous strike’ has blown up in Milley’s face almost as badly as it blew up those kids and their aid-worker father.

I look forward to Politico’s article: “Sure, there are dead Afghan children, but WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE MIDTERMS?”

Wakezilla

With a stadium about 80% full, Pep’s squad laid an egg:

Manchester City directed just one shot on target in the whole game against Southampton (via Phil Foden in the 90th minute), their lowest tally in a Premier League match since March 8th 2017 when they also managed just one, against Stoke City

litre_cola

I saw Mighty Whitey beat Stoke at the cottage and Mark Hughes who left West London was the manager of the Stokies. Darren Bent score the winner and there was much rejoicing ands shit talking to Hughes.

Wakezilla

Darren Bent was one hell of a player. Not a HOFer, but a very good player

Speaking of movies about problematic Europeans (Australians, too), in South Africa, if you haven’t seen the movie Breaker Morant, do yourself a favor and correct that as quickly as you can. Outstanding movie.

You know what’s sad? Girls who have bad sex and then have to go get an abortion. We should be teaching more sex positive stuff in school.

Speaking of Disappointing, are we all watching Everton play today?

No, I’ve been more focused on abortions, so I’m watching UConn football.

I’m going down to the Life is Beautiful festival this afternoon with my cousin. He’s a total SoCal guy (Laguna Hills kid) without a care in the world and he and his girlfriend just do this stuff all the time. He’s going all three days. I’m going to tag along with him for one day then spend all Sunday recovering, I’m sure.

Are you going to take ecstacy? If so, the next day you will probably feel pretty down. See if you can rustle up some prozac for the next day, it really helped me.

Oh the day after E is the absolute worst. I lived on the beach in Australia and was so depressed I was about to move back to Winnipeg in the winter.

The closest I’ve come to E is that episode of American Dad where Roger created it. I should be fine with a little weed.

Anyone who has any occasional doubts about whether “tax the rich” is the way to go should spend a few minutes riding the Real Estate section of the Sunday NY Times.

I’m rich and I say tax the rich. Then people who have no chance of meeting my annual earnings in a decade tell me that I’m a communist and must be stopped. And I have been. So good job there, John Q Mortgage-Carrier.

Also, I mean Tax the Wealthy.

Breaking news: Team White Lives Matter has just brought on a BIPOC player in their contest against the King’s African Water Pistols. Predictions on when the first banana is thrown? I’ll say 70th minute.

Just rolled out of bed at 10:30 after getting in from a poker tournament at 2:30.

Top 4 got paid. Care to guess where I finished?

6th. I finished 6th. Crippled by 9s cracking my JJ, ended with AK doing what Anna Kournikova always did: looking good and failing to win.

HOW THE FUCK YOU DOING, BOYS!?

Anthony In TX

“Crippled by 9s cracking my JJ”

Is that a euphemism? Do you need some penicillin?

Horatio Cornblower

It means I put a guy all in when I was starting with a pair of Jacks, and he called with a pair of 9’s. I’m about an 80-20 favoUrite to start, so naturally he caught a 9 to get a set, and I lost most of my chips, and now that I’ve type all this out I can see why people hate when other people talk about poker.

You have to spread the O-line evenly throughout the plane; you can’t just let them all sit together in the back.

I’m honestly wondering if something like that happened.

Senor Weaselo

Hey, I’m not above old Big East rivalries to say that UConn would probably lose to the St. John’s football team in that case. Or the Queens College football team. Or even the Purchase College football team.

Anthony In TX

By “St. John’s” football team I can only assume you mean my high school team. Go Rebels Mavericks!

Anthony In TX

And by “my high school team” I can only assume you mean “a bunch of out-shape 40-somethings today with no practice, conditioning, or preparation.”

Horatio Cornblower

They’d be favored by 7.5 over UConn.

Horatio Cornblower

I would recommend Army and the points. UConn is the worst team in the FBS, and quite possibly the FCS as well.

West Point is a good place to see a game, though.

litre_cola

That stadium you showed a while back was nice.

Anthony In TX

You missed a very important lesser footy game:

Mini-me In TX* has her first-ever peewee soccer game today! Team P-GSPH-S03** is gonna kick the shit out of whatever pathetic collection of sad-sack 6 year olds that other coach puts out there!

*Still workshopping the name.
**Also still workshopping the name. The kids are going to pick the real name. Mine wants either Tigers, Cheetahs, or Lions. She’s a big fan of the big cats.

Shrouds with a big W yesterday Mr. Hippo sir.

That game was absolutely nuts. Louisville was 100% going to win, until they weren’t. Then UCF was 100% going to win, until they didn’t. My Twitter feed was basically just a bunch of dudes going “WHAT”

Fronkenshteen

Huskers +22.5! God damn. Anyone remember when this was the only JV footy matchup of the year that mattered? And it always seemed to end 10-7? Keith Jackson calling linemen “the Big Uglies” and talking about how many “corny dogs” they could eat?

Fronkenshteen

Alabama/Florida too. Never thought I’d see lines like that on these games.

Senor Weaselo

Hey Hippo, you put + instead of – for Roll Damn Tide.

Anthony In TX

I say keep it. Speak it into being and it shall be.

Let’s be honest: outside of Tide fans, wouldn’t pretty much everyone be delighted to see Alabama get absolutely obliterated?

Anthony In TX

That’s fair. I don’t much care who beats ’em, as long as someone does.

yeah right

At least you can grow corn and soy beans in Nebraska. The only things Oklahoma produces are tornadoes and anti vaxxers.
