Again, I apologize for not crapping out a Saturday nighter. As partial recompense, here is a morning one.
Spurs/Wolves is the best of the three 9:00 offerings (all action on Peacock), with European qualification meaning for each club. Until midweek, Wolves had been flying shit-hot. Spurs, on the other hand, have just sort of hung around all season, like a creeper at the mall. Oh my cats, remember when MALLS were an actual thing? I’ve no idea what will happen, which is Prem footy at its best.
Barcodes/Villa also lingers, like a very wet fart. The kind you pull down your pants, just to double-check. You could also watch Team White Lives Matter/Redshite if you are a parasite upon humanity.
Foxes/Hammers takes centre stage at 11:30, and this could be a real cracker. Moyes’ homeys need to find some form, and a second wind. You never know what Leicester is gonna give you. Or take from you. Worth your time.
As to the Owl. I have very contrarian views (I know, knock me over with a feather), in that if it’s a shit-kicking, I think Cincy is the one dishing out the punishment. A close game could go either way, and I really don’t have a strong vibe. Still, I shall pick Hippo-wagered MVP (the WKRP placement man) going 5-for-5 in a 29-24 win. Because I am out of time for deliberation. Please make your picks in the comments.
The elk is in the chili pot. This is not a drill.
(also, Everton’s Frank Lampard is a beautiful, lovely in every way man – and I certainly never ever could have suggested any differently)
Amending my original pick of Rams 30-20 to Rams 31-20.
Has a little bit to do with the squares assigned.
Are we doing prop bet preditions too? I’m wondering what the over/under is for the number of aphids I just consumed while eating this lettuce from my garden.
LOL
This is perfect
I didn’t know Porno Metal was a genre…

Honestly it sounds a lot more agreeable than death metal.
Done. Got the crudités chopped, guacamole mixed, cheeses sliced, chili in the slow-cooker, rice in the cooker, kale simmering with a ham hock in fresh chicken stock, and wings thawed out and ready for the (freshly cleaned) air fryer. My beloved Boricua neighbors pumping something extremely bass-y through the sound wall of our duplex. Sun out and melting the wet snow. Things looking extremely pleasant here in the Kingdom of Youngkin.
I like the use of the accent. Bravo.
Elk chili? Pretty good. I fucked up and bought diced instead of petite-diced maters, is all.
C’est quoi la difference?
Hard to put my finger on it? A little firmer in texture, contrasts nice with the spiciness. Nose ran less than with bison chili.
My prediction? Pain.
And drinking. Drinkin’ and pain.
HTFYDB!!! GOING BUNGLES BECAUSE IF THEY WIN, THE RAIDERS LOST TO THE CHAMPS AND I CAN SAY WE TECHNICALLY FINISHED 2ND.
Anyway glad to see you all up in hurr. Porky’s healthy and happy and ready for some FOOSBALL.
I’m delighted to see that Andy Reid’s favorite combination dish is doing well!
He wanted a red meat version of turducken.
Can you imagine his reaction if/when he heard this on the radio?

It’s our porcine pal! Glad you’re doing well.
And these people wonder why I laugh my ass off each time one of them dies of COVID:

Super Bowl Party is watching the Puppy Bowl. Can someone do me a favor and call in a bomb threat or something?
Once she did some time, Snoop knew she was a FO-SHIZZLE REAL GANGSTA
[squints to see something four hours off in the distance…]
Don’t care who wins, just want an entertaining game.
Rams by 3 or less
This sounds exactly right. Think we’re in for a good one today.
There should be a law that the pregame show cannot be longer than the game itself
“I don’t like that the engine is working so hard,” she says as our Chevy Volt strugges to maintain a speed of 55 mph up a 7% grade while in the left-hand lane.
(nervous Balls, pacing his kitchen, bandana on wing-wang, whispering RRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!! and hoping we don’t hear him)
You’re kidding, right? I’m going for Cincy.
AFC North!
(yes, this is just part of my running joke)
This morning I drove by TheBigStadium™ where TheBigGame™ is being played, and local residents are renting their driveway parking spots for $500. Good for them but I think that’s cheap.
Also this:
Prediction: Rams 24 – Bengals 21.
I’d prefer to see the Bengals win, so this prediction is a low-effort attempt to jinx the Rams.
Reverse Jinx RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAM IT!!!

I’m going for a FG game only score. 15-12. Down to the last second to avoid OT.
Either team wins, I got no money in this game. I’m just gonna be happy sitting on the couch, drinking beer, and eating chili.
Not only do the switches get the bitches, but also a second for Leicester.
Unconventional Owl food today. Just myself, Eldest right, son in law, Eldest granddaughter and the Wahini today. I started the Gravy yesterday and we’re having lasagne. Bet your ass I’m making the pasta and the French bread from scratch
The lasagne will be topped with freshly grated parmigiano reggiano directly from Italy – additional details next week. It’s 78 and sunny and I’mma get a damn walk in first.
Blessed Owl Day everyone.
Lasagna is a pretty solid move. Never done it for a SB. I’m keeping it fairly traditional party food this year: chili, wings, nachos, shrimp cocktail. Maybe a seven-layer dip.
It works because it can be served at any temperature. Little concerned about baking bread AND lasagne in 80 degree weather though.
That’s what the cold beer is for.
If you are not sweatin yer ass off in a wife beater… you are doing it wrong!
Buon appetito!
Please adopt me.
Have you ever been a passenger in a car driven by someone where you are genuinely shocked that they don’t get into an accident literally every time they get behind the wheel but you can’t tell them that because they are your wife?
She absolutely refuses to use cruise control.
Love me cruise control. One car has that adaptive one that slows down for you. Highway driving is so easy with it. Wife and oldest won’t use it as they “don’t like it”
Controversial take:
Cruise control is for people that want the partner to do all the work when they’re having sex.
Come on, you wouldn’t use cruise control while driving through Palmdale or Palm Springs?
Also, WHO TOLD YOU?!?!?
Eldest right is not my wife but the driving sentiment fits. Just to make everyone super happy and comfortable, she now has a class B license and can drive semis.
Traverse the LA freeway system at your own risk.
Youngest just starting to learn to drive. And I get that she’s still learning but there’s been some “fun” moments.
Friend in high-school was an awful driver. There were many, many drives that scared the crap out of me. We used to make fun of him as to how bad he was. Remember kissing the ground after one trip, as it was bad for him, that we made it there without crashing. I assume that his driving has improved but not sure. Oh and he’s now a police officer. The irony there is nawt lost on me
Swedish curler Anna Hasselborg could assimilate me any time. Resistance is futile.
David Hasselhoff and The Borg have really beautiful children.
KITT watches on, knowingly, tumescently.
I got a 4-7 and 4-9 combo in the squares pool, so that’s all I’m rooting for.
I got a bunch of goddamn fives and nines.
7 of 9 is much better
One of the weird ironies of our time is that Brack Obama might not have become president if not for the fact that Jeri Ryan’s husband wasn’t content to just fuck her at home.
Man, talk about pressing your luck too far.
.
Hey Scotchy! Got me a 6-9
/And 4-0 for what its worth. 250 yankee dollars could put Deci through Med School.
Niiiiice. High five, bro!
[hovers over ‘minus’, thinks better of it]
Jarrod fucking Bowen!!!!!!!
26-19 Rams. Someone put five million skinoots on Cincy (170+). Largest Gamblor! move in history.
Cat kicker being out today can only help our karma. Need a hammers win, 3 goals, 10 corners, and Dawson to score. A buck gets me 30.
It allowed me to root for y’all. Hopefully someone put ex-lax in his brekkie
You have to be a real asshole to treat an animal that way.
At first I thought that “cat kicker” referred to Evan McPherson and I was wondering if I’d missed a big story.
Nah. Video of Kurt Zouma kicking one of his cats across the kitchen floor. What a jerkoff.
He needs a deep cat slash across the scrotum, by a cat who has dirty litter stuck to his claws.
tough but fair
Time for the 1st nap of the day. Then roasting a duck so I can make duck nachos!
Also, Rams by 10. I am with our Italian mate on that one.
I am thinking around 30-20
Duck Nachos! Dammit. I have been a little busy, so it’s nothing but store bought treats for us. I have a cheeseball. And girl scout cookies! And lots of weed. Rams by 7.
Duck nachos? That’s great hustle!!!
We are moving in 6 weeks so I am clearing out the deep freeze. I had a roasting Brome Lake duck in there and really want the fat. So the meat goes on nachos and the fat goes on potatoes later
I laugh every time I see jars of duck fat for sale for like $10-20. You could just buy a whole duck and collect the fat!
Exactly why I bought the utility duck.
Ohhhhhhhhhyeahhhhhh! Talk dirty to me baybee!
Say what you want about the Bengals organization, but its Twitter department has been aces this entire season.
Cincinnati Bengals on Twitter: “#RuleTheJungle 🔜 #RuleItAll https://t.co/jztCI0x3yp” / Twitter
I really want to bet the Bengals but a) that probably means I’m wrong and b) I hate all these online sports books so can’t bring myself to do it.
Spurs have totally lost the plot here.
I had that same thought when I watched “The Last Jedi”.
KNEW I should have bet Wolves when I was in NH yesterday
This is what all y’all refer to as Spurs-y, yes?
i just bet two bills on WKRP Moneyline (+170). My apologies to the entire Redshirt clan.

Numbers for the sheet are being drawn by Sharkette out of a hat shortly.
What kind of hat? Fedora?
Rangers hat. No fedora
Yarmulke. Galactus’s yarmulke.
Actually, it’s a trilby.
Goes with the neckbeard.
I predict during tonight’s Super Bowl, there will be commercials during the media break and a music performance in between the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
That could happen.
Bold pick, or just a pick? I’ll go LA by 10. Yes. Yeesssss… Let the hate flow through you…
I’m just here so I don’t get fined
Both teams played hard out there.
Usually, the team that scores the most points wins the game.
