I keep forgetting to draft these until I am so deep into #FridayBrain that I can’t really formulate coherent thoughts. That’s ok, footy has been filled with entropy of late anyway. No need to try to make any sense of it.
No 7:30 fixture AGAIN. This is starting to get on me tits, Premiership.
We get an unacceptable SIX in the 10:00 window, including the USA-televised Disappointing-But-Safe Everton hosting West Ham. Always nice to welcome Old Boy Moyes back to Goodison Park. This is going to be an absolutely horrible game to watch (for the neutral), but such is life. Fulham/Brighton and Beesus (hold the praise)/Chelski atre your best streaming bets.
Litre believes that Brentford can still be in relegation danger. I am not yet convinced, but they sure are wobbly as fuck.
Luton Town get to host Spotlight Dance (12:30, NBC), with Unai Emery’s Villa coming to town. It will be interesting to see how the latter deal with European fixtures clogging the Spring schedule. Whereas the plucky Lutes (see what I did there?) have to deal with their fading survival hopes (they needed Everton to lose their appeal, and for the Robins Hood to get similarly hammered). The three who came up going straight back down? Now seems a fait accompli.
Burnley and the Cherries play during Sunday Gravy (8:00, USA), followed by NBC being dickwads and putting the Manchester Derby behind the streaming wall (Peacock, 10:30). Watch fucking Men Untied pull a random good performance out of their rectal cavities. 2024 is that kind of year, for the dedicated Redshite-hater.
The King’s Afrikan Water Pistols have been kicking arse and taking names of late, and that should continue against Team Knifey on MNF (3:00, USA).
Come back quickly, JV and Varsity NFL. Hippo misses u so bad, boo.
No one needs another reason to hate on Duke basketball players, right? Well, let’s consider Mike Gminski-he was a prodigy, matriculating to Duke at the age of the edge of seventeen. The program that he was accepted to? It was pre-med which has been scrubbed from his Wiki bio, btw. He went on to have a middling NBA career. Did he go back to Duke in order to become a doctor? Nope. He settled for being an ACC talking guy. Just the worst kind of coward-he could be saving lives but he took the easy way out. He’s despicable. The worst spineless piece of shit no one knows about.
I fucking hate people who don’t complete medical school. Fucking assholes.
I moved from San Diego to LA in early 1992.
One of my earliest and oftenest complaints was the Mexican food.
Forever San Diego food was vastly superior to LA Mexican food.
We went back to the taco well again today, three times in the last 4 weeks we did, and I stand corrected.
These are the best tacos I’ve ever eaten in my life. No more “maybe” the best period.
Birria tacos with consumme.
But, on the whole, you see a joint that looks like it should have good mexican food — which city is likely to have said joint deliver?
LA.
San Diego you got to drive through or walk in. The real joints don’t even have tables to sit at. Maybe a counter and a couple of stools.
I meant, “Deliver on good food.” Not Door Dash.
Me Bado!!!!
Former Tar Heel Caleb Love was with flashes of potential on display earlier this week at the Arizona vs ASU game, quietly putting up 18 or something. So I’m proud to say, on a Love forced-shot airball, my joke was, “Goddamn Love, I knew NC guys couldn’t read, I didn’t know they couldn’t shoot.”
It was forced but I’m like, these dudes will never penalize me for forcing a UNC joke where it has absolutely no business.
No you’re thinking of Notre Dame.
Nice dunk, UNC dick.

I really wish this place had modern wiring. Got the fan mounting up, but there’s not enough space to wire together three thick copper wires and one modern wire in the space, so gonna have to rig something. Harrumph

Happy Kraken Day to all who celebrate! (3/2 for the 32nd NHL franchise) I’m celebrating with a matinee of Release the Kraken!!!
Nooooo! Steelers fans- Andy Russell died.
A football player living to 82 is like a civilian hitting 115.
He’s right there with the most underrated linebackers ever. Andy Headon, Carl Banks, Otis Wilson, Jon Beason, London Fletcher, James Farrior, etc.,,,
Was watching the coverage of The Brier last night, and a spectator was ejected for hassling Brad Gushue. Imagine how big an asshole you have to be to get kicked out of a curling event. Only in Canada!
I haven’t seen an Aston wreck like this since Casino Royale!
Holy shit Luton came back? I turned off the game twenty minutes ago thinking it was a done deal.
Tied at 2 right now.
Good for them! I’ll leave it off so maybe they can pull out the win.
Welp. 3-2 now, not in favour of Luton.
Poor guys.
That’s a fuckin’ crime right there.

So, I love my Canadian buddy Glen and his cooking channel, “Glen and Friends” but was disappointed that his last vid was about glazed carrots. And then I remembered that he currently has a series called, “What I Found In The Discount Aisle”. Why is he doing that? Because he is financially squeezed because he is restoring an old plane. What does he do with those old planes? He participates in a program-Hope Air-that flies folks from isolated communities to cities where they can get badly-needed medical help.

This guy seems like such a good and decent person that I almost feel obligated to designate him as my nemesis.
I heard the Royal Canadian Mounted Tax Service got after him because he tapped his own maple trees, thereby bypassing the Royal Canadian Maple Syrup and Nanaimo Bar Tax Act of 1832.
I feel like you’re almost making things up now…
BC Dick just sent me this beauty.

I didn’t make a scene at Deci’s swimming lesson today. Although 2 other Dad’s sat near me this morning to watch on my phone.
Swimming lesson? During the first week of March?

I CALL NFL DRAFT PROSPECT TYLER OWENS “BLOWOUT COMB” BECAUSE THE ONLY PLANETS HE BELIEVES IN ARE THE DIGABLE ONES.
Bonus anecdote: The Digable Planets’ first album was titled “Reachin’ (A new Refutation of Time and Space)”
/I kid you not
That album was awesome.

That’s why I voted for him.
Eh, I don’t know, I wanted abortions AND miniature American flags, so I voted third party.
Now we got a fucking thing happening here!
I mean, both sides decided to play football this half, at least. Much better quality.
(and I’d happily take the point)
Beto looks fantastic today.

Whitey should be up 4.
Think I just saw Survivor’s Bahstahn Rahb on an NBC ad (Deal or No Deal Island??). May you live in interesting times.
Ugh, one of the things that killed my interest in Survivor was the way they kept bringing him back again and again until he won — and then brought him back as an “advisor” because he was just soooo brilliant.
I mean, good for him — tv producers just kept throwing money at him and his wife, can’t fault him for taking it.
The first Rob/Amber season was really good. They played the shit out of everybody. Law of diminishing returns, though. A little of that guy goes a loooonnnnng way.
He was on The Amazing Race too. I think he came in second or third. You’re absolutely right about him – enough was enough.
Good for him, but that guy is annoying as fuck and doesn’t need to be on my TV.
They did a thing for it at Oculus that I didn’t watch because I was casually a half-hour late for work
Get innn you fucking beauty Wilson!!!

I think we’re going to have a lot of fun with this guy when he hits the NFL.

He also thinks flat earth theories have “valid points.”
Five years of college down the drain.
I mean if you think there’s nothing else out there then the world is a (sound) stage.

That is the astronaut haircut wee Gumby used to get at the barbershop.
My Dad used to make me get a crew cut and I disliked it. In about middle school he cut me some slack and let me grow it out some. But after 20 years in my chosen gig, wearing a high and tight, I am now stuck with short hair. My one attempt to grow it out after retirement ended in Wifey telling me to get a haircut.
Texas Tech. Not surprised.
Which makes me wonder what “Tech” they’re “teaching” in Texas?
