Notes and Comments

The Burning Question this week is: Are Hippo’s Blues the real deal? After losing a bit of a shocker to the Crows at home, they went out and beat the previously unbeaten Giants. They now get Geelong next. Can they beat two unbeaten teams in a row?

It was another tough week for Footy Tipping as there were a lot of upsets. Congrats to Dolph Ucker for an amazing 7 out of 8 games picked!

How about those West Coast Eagles winning two in a row and in the Perth Derby too! Not only did they win, but they won convincingly. Looks the turnaround is in progress.

Look at Essendon in the Eight! Are they gonna stick around or are they just fucking around with RTD’s emotions like the Raiders?

If you haven’t become a member of a club or signed up for the Watch AFL app, you can still watch the 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.

Don’t forget to put the Footy Tips in!

See you next week!

Yeah, I think I’m officially giving up on tipping this season. Although St. Kilda was true to form in that I finally felt confident enough in them to pick them and they get straight up walloped!

Holy shit! Well done!

I was expecting a complete lump of shit, now that the fear of relegation was no more. But…WOW.

No goodbye parade for the German Elton John. Such a shame!

Just watched the replay of the second goal.

DEFENDER 1: Hey, he’s about to jump, maybe one of us should mark him?

DEFENDER 2: No, no, let’s see where he’s going with this…

Fronkenshteen

DOM! UNMARKED! 2-0 GOOD GUYS!!

They’re leaving the screwjob for very late

A reminder how wonderful and delicious true, unadulterated HATE can feel.

Fronkenshteen

Yeah, Toffees!!!! (now for the heartbreak/screwjob portion of the match)

2
King Hippo

I was napping, but have LiveScore open now and am nauseous with fear.

Is Jerry Jones still all there? I heard a snippet of him yakking on the radio yesterday, explaining the draft to someone.

“Well, we’ve got the 24th pick in the draft. That means we were the 24th best team last year.” Uh, huh.

WOOOOOOOOOO!

So Pro-Palestine are you?

2
Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

“Well I certainly don’t support Israel, or their right to exist.”

[glances nervously at DeSean Jackson, who is standing off-camera pointing a gun at me]

Well you said, “LETS GO BOMBERS” so I wasn’t sure.

If you took Kuwait and the Under, I’m not sure what to tell you.

What’s this mean for the Maple Leafs, though?

I’d root for Kuwait over Carolina.

I’m closer to being in position right now for that shot than the goalie was in the game.

“We’ll just dress one goalie for this game, what’s the worst that can happen?”

I saw 2 Kuwait goalies in the handshake line

Horatio Cornblower

Should’ve put them both in the net at the same time.

Then it would have only been 34-0

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

Not that I blame them for not thinking of it, but I kind of feel like at a certain point the Thailand players should have started faking injuries so they could justify only having three or maybe even two guys on the ice at a time.

Gumbygirl

They were going with the “fat guy fills up the goal” theory. Surprised it didn’t work out for them.

Rikki-Tikki-Deadly

You’d think the 10th most obese country in the world could have found someone a little tubbier than *that*.

11th. They aren’t counting us, and you know we’re number 1!

1
Gumbygirl

Huh, I’m wrong, we’re number 13.

2
Horatio Cornblower

I believe in us. We can get to #1 if we just start trying to stop trying to exercise!

I haven’t seen a Kuwaiti defense perform so poorly since August 2nd, 1990!

That’s when Gumby was bravely fighting the first Gulf War from Scotland. You’re welcome.

Hey, they kept the distilleries safe, so you won’t hear me disparaging their service one bit.

The Kuwaiti people were so happy to see us in February 91 a guy offered me his last chicken. True story. We had been eating nothing but MREs and an occasional T rat (think large portions of MREs on trays server buffet style in a trailer after being heated up in boiling water) so I asked a guy if there was anywhere to buy some fresh food. He said no the Iraqis had looted it all but he’d give us his last chicken to cook up. We thanked him but said no way and broke out another case of MREs.

Horatio Cornblower

No one was happier than that chicken.

I hope the West Coast wins shut up the chatter about them needing compensatory draft picks.
