Did you miss the Premiership last weekend? Of course you did. Even with NFL back on the schedule, one needs sommet to do with one’s mornings.
Obviously, sleeping in is much preferred to the filthy Redshite beating up on Wolves (7:30, USA). But some of y’all heathens will watch anyway.
10:00 window is way too crowded, but two fixtures stand out. Fortunately, USA is showing the best one – Rum Ham hosting CIty of Men. Squint hard enough, and you could make yourself believe that the contrast of styles, along with Mikael Antonio’s pace and power…just might make this a tricky matchup. Also from the Footy Manager-verse, I always struggle with my Pretend City of Men coming back off the international break tired and/or off-kilter.
But if it is a romp, you can always stream Men Untied home (in their aflame dumpster) to Brighton. How real are these Trashbirds? This will be a good testing ground for whatever one’s hypothesis.
Also a “no thanks, I’ll pass” on a Spotlight ball washing (Bonesaws hosting Praise Beesus, 12:30, NBC). I mean, the JV is pretty hot and heavy anyway.
Only two on Sunday, but at least both on USA. Cherries host Chelski in a “Desperate Housewives” matchup (9:00), followed by Arsenal kicking Everton’s teeth in (11:30). I’d be mad about this bleeding into RedZone hour, but I have an inkling that the respite will be quite welcome. Handsome Mikel has them cooking with (very handsome) gas.
Robins Hood also host Boo-urnley (3:00, USA) for Monday Night Footy. Meh, could always do worse. At least teams we aren’t sick of watching.
LSU (-9.5) at Mississippi State (Noon, ESPN)
Well, looky-loo, it really does mean MOAR this weekend. At least in the early window. As the Mississippi schools are really the only SEC (PAAAWWWWLLLL) sides not to have underwhelmed (or worse) this September, I really don’t get this number. Home underdogs, sure. I get that LSU has all the talent in the world. But over a full TD? Starkville is a tough place to play, even without the national spotlight/Dread Pirate Leach factoUrs. This is worth a Moneyline punt, for sure. True tossup game, or close enough.
Kansas State (-4) at Missouri (Noon, SECN)
Finally, a cross-sectional matchup worth watching. Humanity needs somebody to step up and prevent a 2nd Red River SHOOTOUT in the Big Twaaaaaalve title match, and the likeliest suspect remains the Unded Bill Snyders. Mizzou is just one of those true weirdo teams, where you never know what you’ll get. Aside from their Thicc Kicker, anyway.
South Cakalaky (+27.5) at Georgia (3:30, CBS)
This game highlighted solely because the window is so shit. The Chickens have been horrid so far, and a trip Between the Hedges ain’t likely to cure what ails ’em. Quartered back might still be the Dawgs’ limiting reagent, but we might not have confirmation until December.
San Diego State (+24.5) at Oregon State (3:30, FS1)
When in doubt, go with the best cheerleader matchup. I also have a soft spot for Niiiiiiiiice Beaver and yes, we are still doing PHRASING!
Washington (-16.5) at Michigan State (5:00, Peacock)
Come for the staggered time window/alternate screen, stay for the awkward “Tuck Comin'” allusions!

South Carolina came out strong but once again they don’t have the resources or manpower to stave off defeat delivered from Georgia.
At this rate, Kenfucky v. Johnny Reb might be the SEC title game

According to the experts, Iowa needs to score something like 45 points today against Western Michigan to stay on pace for 325 for the season. They currently have 7 after 1 quarter.
Alabama being ranked #10 is a teaching moment for those engaging in incest, in that the offspring might end up with an extra digit.
This is a Polydactyly/”Bama not ranked in single digits reference” joke that was never going to work.

Mizz kicker, ordinarily a “4”, is a “10+” in the bars for the next few weeks.
Longest kick in SEC history? That man is going to have a week!
The SEC has been around for awhile and has always attracted top talent. I’m a bit surprised that 61 yards is the record.
It’s even more funny that Mizz has an even longer made kick in their history.
Delay of game penalty on K St, smgdh
Mizz fans deserve to storm the field if the penalty isn’t on them.
Mizz walks it off. What a kick.
Did you catch that, “Thank You Lord” from Mizz coach?
Ha! I did not, but that’s great.
Apparently AJ Green signed a 1-day contract with Cincinnati to retire as a Bengalu; reports say the contract had a token worth of $1 but Mike Brown negotiated the former WR down to 80 cents on account of all the ink it took to sign the paper.
You spelled ‘parchment’ wrong.
Parchment is too damn expensive for Mr. Brown.
What is our choicest game folks?
Minnesota – UNC? Ugh. What a terrible slate of games today
K St./Mizz is coming down to the wire I see.
Just saw that. Over to the SEC channel!
Ireland-Tonga, hopefully.
OK time to channel surf and see if Marika is on.
So poised, the Clubhouse can be proud. She represents.
In completely unsurprising news, the Texas senate acquitted Ken Paxton on all of the impeachment charges filed against him. I can’t imagine what it would be like to live in a state where the government is so nakedly, unabashedly corrupt. If you are a made man in the GOP in a red state, you can do anything without repercussions. And at this point I am pretty sure that means “literally” anything.
At least they have the decency to show you who they are.
They can’t hide it anymore. The human skin is worn so thin, you can see the lizard people underneath now.
just wait until the whole south is an even worse fascist dystopian mess but with added 125 F daily temps (at 9am!) and a shoreline that…isnt the same at it was

Jim Nabors has a kid? Who plays for LSU?? How did he get so dark-skinned???
How did Jim Nabors have a kid? That takes lady parts!
Jim Nabors was gayer than a tree full of parrots!
Speaking of gay, Hugh Jackman and his beard are getting a divorce. Shocking! Not shocking.
In related news, hide your mothers! Belichick has ended his relationship with Linda.
“He likes Lindas?”
Aw, I don’t like the idea of Hugh Jackman being uncomfortable with his sexuality. He seems so nice.
He does seem very nice. He started in Australia, not the greatest place to be gay, so I guess it was probably easier to stay closeted, and better for the career to get established. Mind you, I don’t know fer sure he’s gay, but I have really good gaydar, and it always pinged on him bigtime.

Guys and gals (and undecideds)… Quick PSA tiEm: Not being a cunt to your hotel’s staff and tipping well pays off y’know. Not only would the woman cleaning your room quietly dispose of (what she incorrectly assumed was illicit) substance residues from your table*, but when asked politely will provide you with a starter’s body disposal set as well**.
*actually baking soda, because why reduce my coffee intake when I can self-medicate with something that also can be used to weather model kits (it makes for good fake snow).
** Gloves, tape and some garbage bags… Sadly, again for me being a bored nerd and wanted to paint a captured Ukrie M113 ACAV*** without making a mess of things (even though acryllic paint’s easy to clean.. why make someone’s job harder, when a paper plate and some trash bags are more than enough)
*** Not a typo, btw. Don’t know where, but someone (Portugal or the Baltics) gave honest-to-Jebus OG M113’s with the gasoline engine.
If I still had gas burning APC’s I’d be unloading them in the current market.
Honestly, I was dead certain the entire surviving inventory was re-engined in the 60s. Who knows what depot that bugger languished at before being sent over to one of the poorer NATO states (since again, no one bothered to switch over to the diesel). And in an amusing bit of irony, the first thing the Russkies did after capturing that relic was to dump the engine for one salvaged from an assploded Aussie -AS4. Only reason I even found about that was ’cause a couple of tank museums in Russia were shitting bricks about such a rare item evading their grubby hands 😀
FSU and Boston College seem to have switched jersey colors
Yeah that threw at first too.

It’s a lot like watching Manchester City against the rest of the Premier League.
Be careful out there!

Somehow, it doesn’t seem fair that Man City are allowed to deploy a Sith Lord on the left wing…
Man City does a lot of things it doesn’t seem fair, or likely even legal, to do.
They cock block the German Elton John. As such, they can do whatever the FOOK they wants
Call me crazy, but putting a hundred skinoots on the 1-0 (1-0 in division) Jets to win the AFC at +1300 might be a fun piece of action for the first time ever. They have NOTHING to lose, NO ONE is giving them a chance without Rodgers, and their defense and run game are for real. Also, Zach Wilson might stink, but with Rodgers to correct his m—— excuse me——-FUCK YEAH HAMMERS!!!!!!!’——-sorry. Mistakes, he might be able to be like Ricky Linderman in “My Bodyguard” and help Chris Makepeace beat the shit out of Moody.
this is absolutely good value on the J-E-S-T
The Dallas defense is going to turn Zach Wilson into a sock puppet.
Which might help the Jets, come to think of it.
That’s exactly what I think both teams will read all week.
“Not me!”

I picked the Cowboys in the Elimination challenge, so Jets by at least 10, lol!
Yes…bet on the Jets…
I like that bet.

So i got this back corner of my yard where the previous owner chamfered off the wall to hide the utilities (irrigation stand pipe, telephone pole, transmission box). My neighbor like kiddie corner has a gate to this easement area (his yard is also chamfered off to create this little island).
Transmission box is within the utility easement on my property.
So neighborhood power is out yesterday morning. Long-story short, power company takes down my wall to access the transmission box and make their repair. They did a very clean job, hauled off the block, etc but I do think the decision to tear down the wall in the first place was wrong.
The access through my neighbor’s property requires them first passing through a side yard gate. So i could see how that wasn’t accessible. Also, the area is pretty overgrown with grass/crap. I’m not saying it’s inaccessible but I agree it’s not maintained. And, as mentioned above, the box is on my property. I don’t know what the repair required other than it was not a complete box replacement and, from the looks of my yard, they didn’t bring in anything heavy/large. Finally, I don’t actually know the law here.
Conversely, there’s adequate clearance to open that box and get in there with tools or whatever and perform the repair. It’s not like the wall precluded the box from opening. Also, the fucking box is damn near right on the edge of the easment and the wall they ripped out was outside the easement. I don’t think it’s my responsibility to make their work comfortable outside the easement; face the box the other direction and you’ve got plenty of work space inside the easement. Also, that wall and box have been there a long time — is this really the first time the utility has seen this wall and worked on that box?
Given the work and damage put into ripping out my wall, I feel like, if nothing else, I get to ask if there is a fund i can tap into for this repair and, also, what’s the rule so i can avoid this in the future?
From personal experience with power companies expanding power lines that run near our house I can tell you that, at least within their easement, they have pretty much the same powers as the Saudi ruling family.
I’m curious about who put up the wall, what kind of notice they gave you that they were taking it down, and if the wall was within the easement. If the wall was within the easement and the company didn’t put it up you’re probably screwed. If the company did put it up you’re also screwed, because then they can just take it down whenever. If it’s on your property then I would think they need to fix it.
It’s gonna be a loooooong city council meeting next month I tell you what
Oh that’s so funny.
So the ROW is like 6′ off the back wall. Their box is on the easment. The portion of wall the took down is outside their easement. In fact, they left up (though all damaged and will also need to be replaced) the adjacent section which does intersect the ROW.
I assume the argument will be that i, as the property owner, have to provide access to the box. I say they have access through my neighbor’s gate to the easement (where I have provided access by not building a wall right at the property line).
As far as notice etc, no clue. Historic arials of the area show the wall has been up s long time but nothing on communication. It’s outside the easement so i day is moot — that’s my property they unnecessarily removed.

Morning all! Just here to absorb my arsewhoop du Guardiola and be on my way. I’ll probably put eyes on Brighton/Man U to avoid jinxing my beloved Hammers.
Currently heading towards Christiansburg, VA for a friendly against our U12 ShenCo Vipers. Then back to Ubering at JMU all night. Another rough night last night. Got my PTSD triggered pretty badly and went blank for a bit. Put myself in real danger I think. Still pretty shaken up. I honestly don’t know what to do about this. I don’t want disability because I can work. But when I get attacked I go into crisis mode mentally, and I just need to learn coping skills so the crisis doesn’t grip me for days, like it’s doing now, even though the incident was ten hours ago. I’m done with school, so hopefully I can write more content for the site now. I have a story about another disastrous Uber ride already writ, and I’m hoping to produce the next sections of the piece I started about rehab near my one year anniversary of sobriety at the beginning of October. Anyway, have a day you beauties!
One year is a hell of a major accomplishment. We are as proud of you as your banner quote!
Thanks, man! If you could’ve been seen me scrambling to get my car off the road into ANY parking lot to login in and get that one in, you’d have laughed your balls off. Like my hair was on fire! I’m such a dope.
It’s been far too long since you’ve graced us with one of your posts, Fronk!
I have two in the hopper right now. Uber is crazy this semester!🤓
Congrats on the year. You have come a long way my internet friend!
I feel like blacking out in rage is a completely normal response to being attacked.
But i also love to win.
Pfft. Says the Raiders fan.
I thought Blax was a Cardinals fan.
Which doesn’t make it any better.

Congratulations on the year.
Hey, sincere congrats on the year of sobriety. Don’t be shy about getting disability benefits for PTSD. You earned them, you use them.
Exactly. Do whatever it takes.
I’m glad you’ve been able to stick with it. Kudos!
Join us whenever you can, this place isn’t the same without you!
We ALL need help at times. This is just your time. Anyone judging you for getting help is not your friend.
Congratulations on one year of sobriety, that’s hard work and something to be proud of and to build on.

I had to run a conference yesterday, a regional engagement event we have hosted for 8 years now. My intepreter is a lovely and VERY, well endowed Italian lady. Seriously she is Marika sized and natural – I can tell. The first time we worked together she scolded me for talking too fast and using too much military jargon. Fundamentals that I had forgotten, it had been over 10 years since I worked with “Terps” down range. But over the years we have built a wonderful repore. To the point where a few years ago we started greetings and goodbye’s with (my personal favorite) hugs and kisses on each cheek. Boys those have gotten deeper and longer over the years and yesterday’s were spectacular. She graced me with a wonderful low cut blouse all day… and guys… the hello and goodbye were boner inducing.
I am so 14 years old some (most) of the time.
And Napoli plays tonight.
Buona giornata tutti!
Our new neighbors have a nanny with an Australian (I think) accent and huge jugs. I feel like maybe we stepped onto the set of a Lifetime movie.
I noticed this summer at the resto, moreso than last year that bras are optional nowadays. Last night was a gorgeous night out and the customers put on a show.
That being said, botox lips are the clowniest looking thing ever. We had 3 totally plastic women and they looked ridiculous, all sans bra.
Dunno about that – for me the budget skin lifts are even worse, since the faces look frozen in surprise/shock that someone told that person that he’s in fact the manager and if she don’t like something … LEAVE, BISH 😀 That said, the stung by a wasp look does take a close second in my book.
Ah, also g’day folks
I, for one, welcome our bra-less overlords!
Agreed
Yeah bolt on’s and braless is a buzz kill for me. Average lovely beats phoney plastic surgery work any day.
The short shorts and halter tops have been spectacular this summer.
