The biggest of big days is upon us but there’s still a ways to go.
The Winter Olympics is in full force (I can see the outline of a Norwegian biathlete’s penis as I type this) and may serve to pass the time until we get to the nitty gritty.
So if you’re a fan of figure skating, snowboarding, speed skating, luge and a number of other wintry sports, lay your brain droppings upon us.
If you feel like cutting yourself the SB pregame show starts at 1pm. (Guh!)
There’s also a wee bit of college ball on as noted rivals Texas Tech and West Virginny square off.
And speaking of appetizers and the like, let us know what you’ve got going on in the kitchen as you prepare for THE BIG ONE.
till then…
HALLOOOOOOOOOO
I have made my offerings to Gamblor! I am sacrificing chicken wings to Bleergh! And the holy day is upon us!
WOOOOO!! HE’S BACK!
Welcome back Porky The First!
There’s beer here somewhere, have one, don’t cost nothin
Always a pleasure to see you again, my friend.
Welcome!
Glad to be here!
If any of y’all find yourself by the LA Harbor allow me the honor of taking you to Pedro’s finest pizza place and one of my top 10 pizza joints ever.
These guys are so fucking good.
Since 1965.
FUCK!

I have not read a single think piece, analytics, predictions, or anything else foosball related because it’s the devil.
I’m bout to eat this 100mg edible.
I’m tryina be cool, calm, and collected PirateSloth today.
100 is a big boy edible. I can’t do more than 10. Go get it, man.
I would be a zombie with 100mg. The PirateSloth is Willie Nelson Level!
TPS Report isn’t just a clever handle. He’s a big boy (but not deformed).
That is way out of my league too. Just imagine you take that, forget you did and head to the grocery store. Carnage.
Really happy for the Italian skater. He did-ah really-ah good-ah!
Kind of a shame they have to zamboni all the grease off the ice afterwards
lack of draft king commercials refreshing, promos with horrible cover of Everybody wants to rule the world for the NBA not so much.

Because the nature of this jorb, weird things happen at weirder times. As such, I will absolutely miss the game-deciding pass on the five-yard-line with one team up four points and 13 seconds left to play.
Don’t think it’ll come down to that but that’s why we watch.
Pregame is on, and all of these segments are in San Fran… goes to show how worthless Santa Clara is.

Yeah, I do not want to hand it to her, but I have to hand it to her.

No one is 100% shitty (probably), so I’m nawt gonna read too much into an appearance of her nominal non-shitty percentage

I don’t like this. If it gets out that Jordan isn’t a complete gold-digger and is actually an okay person, the goodwill could rub off on Belichick and he’ll be elected to the Hall of Fame in 2027 over Kenny Anderson.
Just kidding! He’s never going to make it in.
Good lord. If she’s not in it for the money she’d have to have some next level issues. That must be unreal for the 10 minutes before Bill needs to hit his C-pap machine.
I mean its plausible. She has the face of an innocent person, but the paleness suggests that her soul has been broken beyond repair.
Kenny Anderson was one of the most accomplished high school basketball players of all time! He’ll get into the Hall before Kenny Anderson.
Kenny Anderson went to Augustana College in Rock Island Illinois. Another of my former cities of residence.
I could walk there from my house.
Taj and I played hoops with their basketball team all the fucking time.
Just got back from a short but very pleasant hike. My friend who hates hiking said it was the first hike she’s ever enjoyed, so we’re going to try to make it a regular Sunday offseason thing and I’m going to curate hikes that she doesn’t hate while we work up to longer ones. Now it’s cheese time!
Yay for cheese!
Breakfast was Dutch baby blueberry pancakes with eggs and bacon.
Game hasn’t started and I’ve already overdone it.
Today is a good day!
dutch baby pancakes are soooo gooood
Yeah and blueberries are an excellent addition to anything.
I’d like to point out that there is no Shame Pizza today, it’s all Celebration Pies all day long.

I wonder how things would change in ski jumping if you could shed weight while in the air.
Like pissing themselves?
I bought this joint on a whim because the name was Obama.
Makes more sense his name would show up at the awesome marijuana store since he wasn’t in the Epstein Files like Trump, the child rapist king of the child rape apologists.
Oh — the joint is awesome.
I would have bought the Obama joint, too. I can’t imagine anyone going for the Trump brand weed. You know they harvested it too early.
Trump brand weed would be ditch weed sprayed with pcp & meth.
Nah, it would be oregano with a few iron pyrite flakes sprinkled in.
Obama Kush is a pretty decent Indica, though I forget what the lineage is of that strain.
Cooking beef Birria and I think I’ll make blue corn tortillas for the tacos. It smells incredible in here right now, for a change.
Enjoy the game, cheese bags
Mmmmm. Pavlovian response initiated.
Did you do the dried peppers from scratch, or use a “Birria Bomb”?
Dried peppers from scratch. There’s a nice Mexican grocery store just down the road from me and buying food and such is one of the only social things I like doing.
I cook for the enjoyment so I don’t go for many shortcuts. And then I have more time to drink and smoke while cooking. That’s the real reason.
He and I took a cooking course in Mexico. He taught us how to cook birria. Fucking love the stuff.
found gold zone in one of the nbc sports network I normally keep hidden on my youtubetv guide , nice treat even if it does have normal commercials. thought had lost quad box privileges til next fall
Fun Fact: “Quad box privileges” is a code phrase coined by Matt Gaetz that means “middle school playground”
Ooh, I should check for that. I know I canceled Peacock, but I do have Youtube tv.
Whoa, Cam Heyward and Aaron Donald doing field “reporting” for NBC.
Someone’s retiring…
Today is a mandatory work day for us.
They fed us last year, no word if that’s the case today.
How are yinz?
Alles gute.
Ugh. Sorry you have to work on Superb Owl day, WCS…
but I imagine that there is going to be a lot of drunken foolishness resulting in mayhem & bodily injury today.
You’re doing Good Work. Thank you.
Stay safe out there, folks.
I’m well! How are you?
Because I’m a masochist, just volunteered to stay for 16. Yinz’re stuck with me all day (and night).
Friend of mine doesn’t have mandatory work, but she’s on call in case of a mass Super Bowl casualty and has to stay within a certain radius of Santa Clara all night.
I imagine you would be expecting 10x the number of calls if the Steelers were in the Owl, and probably less than last year with no Iggles either, so that’s a bright spot at least!
I honestly don’t think it would be that bad during the game if the Stillers were in it.
Afterwards, though….
Yup. I imagine there will be a few drunken JPP/Sherm kinda incidents in the Seattle and Boston areas tonight.
Canada’s mixed curling team is a gotdamn M Bare Ass Ment. They’ve got their asses handed to them by the likes of Great Britain, Estonia (Estonia!!?) and are now getting punked by that curling powerhouse South Korea. Fuck sakes!

2026 Winter Olympics: Lindsey Vonn airlifted after crash, in stable condition – CBS Sports
Turns out an ACL is rather important to downhill skiing.
“Don’t get too excited yet, Youth!”
-Lindsey Vonn 2030 Qualifier
“Athlete Far Past Their Prime Suffers Consequences Of Thinking They Were Still In Their Prime.” is the book that would take several months to read.
If only she could have had A Piece of Steak before her run…
I don’t think she had any illusions about whether or not she was still in her prime. I think she’s just cuckoo for competition skiing.
“Illusions” and “Cuckoo” do line up with my original statement though.
Broken leg. Yikes!
“Don’t judge me.
I can work with this.”

I’ve got everything I need to have myself a splendid Sunday.
Access to a drunk dog? Where did it all go wrong, Rikki?
Look at that cuteness! And no, I’m not talking about the liquor.
Disembodied voice of Ron Howard:
“She was talking about the liquor.”
After a long season of uncertainty and confusion, of darkness and loneliness, of rage and hatred, we have finally reached the conclusion. The moment we all feared wouldn’t happen but was inevitable:
I have broken the block of ice in front of the front door and excavated the Welcome Mat!
Are you expecting GUESTS? The horror!
My Welcome Mat says “Get The Hell Out In Two Hours Or Less!” If my wife could read she’d no longer wonder why we have so few visitors.
We had one that said “Come Back With A Warrant”
Twist in plot: Its a trap door.
My fault. I had my phone at my desk at work charging when my sister and brother-in-law asked about Super Bowl plans. Rookie mistake: I should’ve had my phone at the ready to talk about persistent cough I’ve been having for the past month and how that new strain of COVID bouncing around work.

Thanks, ESPN, for this not at all bullshitty puffery
Speaking of Rodgers, he has emerged from the 2025 season refreshed. One source I spoke to said Rodgers is in a much better place coming out of his year with the Steelers compared with his previous two years with the Jets. He greatly valued his experience in Pittsburgh, and teammates raved about him, both publicly and in exit meetings with the team. The Steelers have been open to a Rodgers return since early in the season, and I don’t sense that has changed. The Steelers’ combination of head coach Mike McCarthy and offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio makes the transition seamless.
Mr Rodgers always liked the Land of Make Believe and his puppets
Yinzburgh will somehow be even MOAR unlikeable next season.
You shut your whore mouth!
He feels refreshed, just like how he feels when his old ass puts on a fresh diaper?
That’s not bullshit puffery. That’s the demented ramblings of someone on a complete break from reality.

ah thank you for cross country skiing saving us from the monotony and tedium of 6 hours of road to the super bowl coverage
Ugh, they’re starting the Owl pregame shit. Time for my morning walk.
Anything worth doing is worth overdoing
Morning walk finished and weekly soup is simmering.
That concludes the effort portion of our day.
Apart from driving a few blocks to pick up the pizza.
I’m about to cook myself a breakfast burrito. It will be a relatively sad affair (just eggs and cheese, no potatoes, and “salsa” will consist of leftover Del Scorcho packets).
(I’m going to post about mundane shit for as long as the site lets me.)
I’m off to the fucking Poconos! For work. Which means a suit.
It’s currently 5 there, feels like -11. It will be about 2 when we finish around 11:00.
I’ve been spending the weekend in Vega Baja, PR, birthplace of giants: Madre, Pudge Rodríguez, Bad Bunny, my uncs & aunts, Juan González… I mite post Puerto Rican music all day ‘cause that’s the only thang I’m listening to today. Ile’s awesome

Young lady at the coffee shop asked if I worked across the street (fancy private school) because I looked like a prep school teacher.
So I figure there are worse things to be viewed as at 43. Especially with all the shitty fathers out there.
The school teacher thing is how Sting started out.
True or not, that’s the comment that raises my spirits.
Fer real. He wrote the song Don’t Stand So Close to Me, based on the gig.

Today me is verra happy last night stoner me got the chili going. Just need to let it simmer for awhile and add beans. Yes, I said beans. Delishus, nutrishus kidney beans. Nature’s candy. But no spaghetti, that’s for crazy people.
Guess a couple of months ago eldest right and the 2 eldest granddaughters got tickets to a play.
That play is today so they’re not coming over for the gathering.
Only thing I’m cooking today is my southwest vegan soup for next week’s food.
I’m driving to my favorite local pizza joint and picking up a couple of pies for the game.
Nice and easy today.

Just came around the corner and stepped hard on my cat’s tail, who was out of sigh behind the kitchen table with his tail extend around the other end of the corner.
He’s about 14 years old, and if he lives another 14 he might start to think about forgiving me.
I have no idea why Apple has such a great reputation. My mother-in-law’s iPhone is about as reliable as this here website.
So I see downhill ski racing without an ACL worked out about as well as expected for Lindsey Vonn.
Her spot on the team should/coulda gone to someone who isn’t held together with chewing gum and toothpicks. Hubris, I calls it!
I see 2Pack’s calls for a Topless Synchronized Vespa competition remain unanswered. smh.
More of a Summer Olympics thing.
Same old sad story. Not knowing when to fold and just leave well enough alone.
That reply was about Lindsey Vonn. Somehow got posted in the comments below it.
Now I gotta go look for chicks on Vespa pics. My work is never done here.
I think we both just found out that sexy Vespa girls is a deep search well.
SO MANY!!
I don’t trust either of you. I’m going to do my own research.
Representing Italy in the Women’s Open program…
Trump is going to let Nancy Guthrie die at the hands of her kidnappers because they didn’t demand the ransom in Trump’s digital coin.
Then “not stupid” white women will overwhelming vote to support him because it makes them feel safe to know Jeffrey Epstein is no longer alive to temp their Christ-figure with tantalizing slave flesh.
She’s being held hostage in a theatre still showing Melania, the perfect crime
The sister and her husband with the full face beard seem shifty as hell to me. Time for a blanket party, but I suspect poor mom is already sleeping with the fishes. Wait, Arizona. Sleeping with the coyotes.
I love how the whole thing was SOL from the get-go, basically, because Tucson sucks.
But then I saw the Sheriff was at the Arizona basketball game and I’m like, “fuck yeah Tucson elected a Real One.”
Which is bad because Real Ones from Tucson are only desirable in a prison gang environment.
I guess I can’t see the Olympics without an additional subscription?
That makes more sense. Just stick it behind a paywall.
BUILD THE (PAY)WALL!
I’ll have some drumsticks and wings to smoke later this am. Then I’m trying out a smoker hamburger that looks pretty good. Also I need to fit in a smoked cheese dip that is Velveeta.
My wife and neighbors seem to be all ‘doing something for the super bowl’ so that should steal me an afternoon to work without being bothered.
In other news, a cold front is settling in over Hawaii.
Probably a result of that cold shoulder you’re giving your neighbors.

I read this as “Blax plans an island orgy” because why would I not?
need more chatty sports like curling
The strategy aspect of the sport is tremendously undersold imo.
yes could use a few long cuts to show what the brusher sees. the team chat also cuts down the burden on the announcers to just blather as well
