Notes and Comments

Collingwood is just a powerhouse at this point. They should spend the rest of the season getting themselves in the best shape possible for finals.

Geelong will probably end up second and I don’t say that because I’m a fan or because they’re that good. I say it because their schedule down the stretch is softer than my Butt Pillow.

One of the biggest questions of the year so far is: What the heck has happened to Sydney?!? They’ve been in the Grand Final two out of the last three years. How are they so bad now?

The Blues are continuing their freefall with a big away loss to Port Adelaide. The rumours about the coach losing his job are getting louder. He might not finish the season.

Next week, the byes are over, except for Essendon and Gold Coast, who still have to make up the game missed due to Tropical Cyclone Arthur. No word from the AFL on when that will be made up.

A hearty well done to the FIVE tippers that had a perfect week but EXTRA SPECIAL kudos to Sharky, who had a PERFECT PERFECT week getting all the picks correct as well as a margin of 0! I don’t think that’s ever been done!

If you are a member of an AFL club or you got a Watch AFL membership, you should be able to watch every AFL and AFLW game, including replays. Game times vary between Australian afternoon and evening, which actually makes it easier for us in North America to watch as the games can be seeing in the evenings on Pacific Time and early mornings on Eastern time.

If you haven’t become a member of a club or signed up for the Watch AFL app, you can still watch the AFL and AFLW games in the USA on either FS1 or FS2 and in Canada on TSN. Showtimes can be found here on the Australian Football Association of North America website. But I do recommend that you join a club. It’s fun and they send you free shit.

See you next week!

Oh look, the US is beating up on a smaller Central American country-this is not a repeat from the mid 1800’s until now.

What, you want me to pay a fair price for bananas? Fuck outta here!

Fair Trade Bananas is the name of my bar that features half-price Mojitos between 7 and 11am because we’re trying to attract the resto server’s crowd in downtown Manhattan.

Welp, the Finns won, just as I didn’t predict.

Up next, the host Swiss Misses will take on the Norwegian She-Vikings. Norway’s probably better, but the Swiss are at home. So…2-2 draw? There, I made a call, go bet against it.

It’s kind of funny that the biggest sporting events over Independence Day weekend are a tennis tournament in England and the Club World Cup featuring primarily non-American teams. Except of course for the Nathan’s taco eating competition, which could be argued as the MOST American sporting event in existence.

4
Horatio Cornblower

I would watch the shit out of a taco eating contest on Coney Island. That would be more disgusting that an Eli Roth movie.

My wife’s coworker offered me a ticket to the Dodgers/Astros game on Friday night , the catch is I have to drive and buy him beer. That’s a no for me.

“Enjoy your $40 ticket!”

(buys $80 in beer that I can’t enjoy because I have to drive)

Also he’s kind of a loud mouth eye-talian dude, no offence obviously.
Instead we are driving out to the desert to visit some friends and celebrate America by blowing up a small part of it.

It’s kind of the equivalent of JPP’s hand when also exposed to illegal fireworks.

BugEyedBoo

Redshirt can back me up on this: here in Ohio it used to be you could buy the seriously explodey fireworks legally, but it was illegal to set off fireworks in Ohio. When you bought them you had to sign a document swearing that you totally weren’t going to set off these fireworks in the state of Ohio. A couple of years ago they repealed the law making setting them off illegal, so now you could set them off with a clear conscience.

Drive including parking, I assume. He’s no friend; don’t even deserve some ballpark pretzeled bread.

No way!

The ticket in exchange for the ride, that’s it. Split parking, let him buy his own fucking beer. Tell him a return ride is not guaranteed.

Ass, gas or grass, no one rides for free. And a ticket to a baseball game is none of those things.

I haven’t seen all of Mystery, Alaska but having Little Richard extend the national anthem so the Rangers would get cold was a cute bit.

I’m mad enough without reading any “Puffy” shit.

Keep an eye on Iceland, Denmark, and Norway in the European Euros, for pervert and sporting reasons.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

I’m disappointed because I’ve always hated the guy, but I’m not going to second-guess the jury. Given that they convicted him on two counts they clearly weren’t in the tank for him; I’ll presume that the prosecution failed to make their case and simply move on with my day.

Plus, it’s pretty clear that the US judicial system thinks the 14th and 19th amendments barely matter.

1
BugEyedBoo

I think the judicial system as a whole thinks they matter, but the Supreme Court has other ideas.

1
Horatio Cornblower

I can’t say I followed the case more than a weekly recap in the Sunday NYT, but there seemed to be a pretty big consensus that trying to turn what should have been state domestic violence charges into a federal racketeering case was a big mistake.

I guess the two charges he was convicted of can get him as much as 20 years; it’ll be interesting to see what the Court does with that.

So. We can work today, or we can watch Iceland v Finland (EuroChicks Tourney) in 20 minutes. I got a couple grand on the fighting Bjorks. (give or take a couple grand)

As always, celebrities and rich men are allowed to force you to have sex, but in a sudden change, cannot profit on the action monetarily. Experts call this a breakthrough for common folk everywhere, at least until one of Trump’s donors bring it up on a phone call, which will surely lead to a corrective Executive Action.

What was Carol Brady doing for $$$ before she met Mike Brady? She had to have had a house that is no longer in the picture. And I thought we were seeing the Bradys fairly early in their relationship, so Carol’s first husband could have paid for one of the cars.

They should do a grimdark film or streaming series, where Mike and Carol go all Double Indemnity and off her rich husband. They have to pay off Alice because she found out/actively helped.

7
ballsofsteelandfury

Right? !? For that matter, what happened to Mike’s ex-wife? Was it a “I’ll do yours, you do mine” scenario?

I think Mr. Brady would have gone for that “Wait, I was supposed to OFF him?”, as he walks away wiping wiping his mouth.

BugEyedBoo

Wife says, “They never said what happened to Mike and Carol’s spouses.”

2
ArmedandHammered

I think their respective spouses had died, I thought the opening song mentions that, or I could just be mis-remembering. My personal thought is that the old spouses ran away together to get away from their families. Mike and Carol bonded over the betrayal, fell in love, and took out hits on their spouses so they would be free to marry.

3
Horatio Cornblower

Yeah, if I remember correctly they were a widow and widower.

Which, of course, doesn’t mean they didn’t kill their spouses themselves.

3
Horatio Cornblower

1/2 right.

faq.htm

Mike’s a widower. They never say what happened to Carol’s husband. Apparently a dispute between show creator and producers.
