Footy Footy Everywhere – A Discussion in Two Parts

Do you like footed ball?  Boy howdy, then does I ever gots GOOD NEWS for you!

(I mean, other than the lack of our beloved Early Bird Special this week.  That kinda blows goats.)

USA choo-choo-chooses Villa/Cherries for the 10:00 broadcast.  Are the Villans becoming a media darling?  Oy yes, they are.  Will this eventually grate on Hippo’s nerves?  Oh yes, it will.  But whatever deflects from the Redshite filth is fine and dandy.  If you are a sick fuck, stream City of Men disemboweling Sham Town (Peacock).  Light window overall.

Litre and Hippo can has Spotlight Clubhouse Derby??  Yes indeed, as Everton welcomes Handsome Marco Silva (ie, the One Who Got Away) to Goodison Park, one last time (12:30, NBC).  It’s about time that somebody finally exploits the Toffees back line (PHRASING), and Alex Iwobi seems the man to do it.

Must be “weird-ass Daylight Savings divergence” weekend, as there are 3 Sunday fixtures at 10:00 – highlighted by Men Untied away to Fronk’s Hammers (Peacock).  Loser finally gets to sack their manager?  BET TEH DRAW.  USA is annoyingly showing Bonesaws/Chelski instead.  GROSS.

To the JV Thunderdome!

Nebraska (+25.5) at THEEEEEEE (yada yada) – Noon (Fox)

Cornfuckers thought they were people for a second, then Indiana reality kicked them in the bollocks for 60 minutes.  Their reward for not folding the program?  A trip to Columbus to get penetrated unlubed, all over again.

Washington (+6.5) at Indiana – Noon (BTN)

This is a very interesting contest that should have a better timeslot and non-BTN coverage.  But Hippo is here FOAR it.  Trap game for the Hoosiers, 100%.  Let’s see how they handle matters.

Steerfuckers North (+20) at Ole Miss – Noon (ESPN)

Boomer Sooner ain’t liking their new membership in The South, that’s fer sure.  Brent Venables is going to get fired, and right soon.  Johnny Reb needs to win out if’n it wants to make the playoffs, no room for further mulligans.

Illinois (+21.5) at Oregon – 3:30 (CBS)

It is so strange to see this as (i) a conference fixture; and (ii) CBS’ game of the week.  Can the Illini grind Quackers into their pace of play?  Probably not, but I am MOAR interested than I likely should be here.

Missouri (+16.5) at Alabama – 3:30 (ABC)

Nobody believes in the Tigers, and rightly so.  But they just keep on ekeing out wins.  Now, they go to Tuscaloosa – with Roll Damn Tide having their backs squarely against the wall.  This oughtta be good, and the stakes are high for both.

Steerfuckers South (-18.5) at Vanderbilt – 4:15 (SECN)

No way, it couldn’t happen again.  COULD IT????  God, I would die laughing.

Mr. Ayo

Good teams win, great teams cover. Congrats Cornfuckers.

Fading Hippo has made me a wealthy man. Praise indeed.

…yaaayyy…

Fading Hippo is the name of Brick Meathook’s King Crimson’s cover band. I’ll have you know!

Mr. Ayo

That’s ironic because Brick’s cover band hasn’t made me a single cent.

Do better Brick.

I’ve got a swollen member and it has nothing to do with porn. Anyway, usually I’d use a bag of frozen peas/corn. You scientists out there, would Cavendish Tuscan-herbed diced potatoes work equally well?

SonOfSpam

Did they let you keep the balls?

yeah right

No. You eat those.

Use frozen peas or frozen Brussels sprouts instead. Those both suck when frozen.

SonOfSpam

Love this movie

Absolutely concur.

I didn’t know the Irish and the Japanese had anything in common, Notre Dame’s devastation of the United States Navy begs to differ.

I’d compare this to Pearl Harbor, but the Navy came back from that one.

So, Aaron Boone is the new Dusty Baker?

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Dusty Baker” sounds like a euphemism for some kind of sexual act that Rob Ford really enjoys.

Senor Weaselo

Aaron Boone and Dave Roberts managing is like a chess match.

Except it’s one of the ones that Gotham Chess reviews in his “How to Lose at Chess” series that inevitably ends by someone with three queens forcing stalemate.

This is the one time I don’t get the usually crappy Big 10 game featuring Indiana? You’ve made a powerless enemy, America!

Col. Duke LaCross

That’s not what they’re using for Aaron Boone’s upcoming colonoscopy?

Mr. Ayo

Two things. Though it will require an extensive cleaning in between.

Horatio Cornblower

Boone’s head is too far up his ass for a colonoscopy to be effective.

Horatio Cornblower

“Other than the goal, they kept Haaland out.”

And other than that incident Mrs. Lincoln, what did you think of the play?

Col. Duke LaCross

Come on Navy. Do this for America.

Mr. Ayo

Ah, well. Nevertheless.

yeah right

Last minute equalizer for the Cherries!

Back to back games against Arsenal and villa was a doddle!

Three truths for today.
Napoli won and will remain in 1st place for another week.
Pat McAfee is the kind of guy who will eventually say, irregardless.
This stuff is as addictive as crack.

Game Time Decision

So so so many things that I don’t understand in this world.
One of them is why a shitty kicker is still a thing and who would want to listen to him talk

BugEyedBoo

Descriptive vs. prescriptive. ‘irregardless’ is a word now, nobody GAS about split infinitives, ‘nonplussed’ means both ‘befuddled’ and ‘no big deal’, and ‘forte’ is now pronounced both ‘for-tay’ and ‘fort’. But GIF is still pronounced as in ‘giraffe’ and I will die on that hill.

2Pack

I thought I had heard about that. But I am still witness to quite a few dimwits playing smarty pants using the word and being blasted by authority for doing so in past years. Now they update the dictionary every time the masses dumb down another part of the culture. I refuse to learn that stuff. I’m there now. I won.

Mr. Ayo

Step aside Freddie Freeman, there was an overtime walk off ROUGE on a punt yesterday!

litre_cola

Bees losing to Tractor Boys! Fantastic start to the day.

litre_cola

Spoke too soon.

litre_cola

I for one support that the late game is Mighty Whitey as my rage can wait until after wee man’s swim lessons.

scotchnaut

He reminds me of a Bo Jackson, Christian Okoye or Lawrence Taylor when they first came into the NFL in that they were too strong and powerful and defenders just didn’t know what to do with them.

scotchnaut

Still no Broom?

I’m here for the Mandatorium.

Neither has the balls to buy them, knowing that I’ll make fun of them for days and days.

This looks like a shitty sales rep.

Oh then the manager shows up. She gets it.

Oh then the ad.

This feels like the neighbourhood I live in. Almost every one has a giant jacked up, chromed out truck but 99% of them haven’t had anything other than Groceries or sports equipment in the back and the only time they were not on pavement was when they got to the game late and had to park in the unpaved overflow lot

Senor Weaselo

But if their truck has truck nuts then they’re not putting the gas dick in the gas tank vag, which means…
