Writing this at 8p, figure someone will force the thing to post in the morning. I’m just not particularly arsed.
Not that we had a BAD weekend of FITBAW by any means, just that my malaise has started taking over. As is Hippo’s nature.
YES, I am finally starting to feel bummed about Nix’s ankle owie, after he was earning Hippo’s deep respect. I don’t like the way the game ended via the officiating, neither. Now, after an afternoon of watching P*ts fans (including a shirtless child of what seemed to be 11 or 12) jackass about the snow, I remembered why I hate them so very much. And now my team is 95% likely to crap themselves at home to put them back into the Owl. Where they’ll no doubt play Seattle AGAIN, and the talking heads will cream themselves about *THAT* game…again.
But hey, I didn’t have as bad of a Sunday as CJ Stroud did. Seriously, they need to go HARD after Malik Willis. Because…you can’t run that back now. You’ll lose the locker room.
But you also shouldn’t gloss over The Drake’s 4 fumbres – most after the game was pretty well in hand (thanks to Stroud’s parallel, 4 pickerceptions). It was just a slop game in fun weather, where the New England defense matched or maybe exceeded that of Houston – and Maye made a handful of good throws amidst all the chucklefuckery. More than that, Boutte somehow had the game of career. That one-hander beats David Tyree for “where the fuck did THAT come from.”
Anyway, 28-16 could have been even worse, and we will see how bad the 500s’ organizational hangover is in 2026. I’d bet on “pretty doggone bad” but YMMV.
As the first half closes in Chi****, it is very clear that the Bearistocrats! lucky butt horseshoe will carry them one week further. But they are gonna get FLATTENED in Seattle, so precious little reason to even arrange next Sunday around the NFL at all. I mean, we all will. But…meh. Just all the meh.
Oh yeah, we ain’t talked much about the 41-6 losing Tomsulas. Somehow, they’ll be fine next season. It’s just how Baby Shanny rolls, and it makes no goddamned sense.
Nihilist Arby’s, OUT!
Ice Stillers currently containing the Kraken, lead 3-2 at the second intermission.
Is the Mayo Man on scene?
Jeff Hafley is the new boss for the LOLphins.
Good luck with that. I’M FACKIN PAWSATIVE HIS FACKIN WARK AT BAWSTAHN CAWLEDGE WILL BE FACKIN GREAT ON SOUTH BEACH YA FACKIN FACKS
championship news dump down here
NO ONE DENIES THIS!!!
Christ, the Trashbird fans are a bunch of whiny little shits.
DID YOU SEE THAT GOAL????
Unfortunately yes.
I just saw the replay. That was insane.
Stillers media seems very in on the Chris Shula bandwagon. He’s RRRAAAMMMIIITTT’s DC. I was weary of the nepotism involved, but, after hearing the blind resume, not knowing who they were discussing, his credentials are legit.
I would jizz in me pants if the Stillers hired him, and brought “passing game coordinator” Nate Scheelhaase as new OC. The latter would immediately become a fan favorite on his name alone, “SHEEL–HAAUSS” will be an instant hit.

Eat shit Ice Stillers. RELEASE THE KRAKEN!!!
It’s how MLK Jr. would have wanted us to celebrate his birthday.
I’m not positive he’d be pleased with Amurica 2026.
It’s better than America in 1926. Or even 1966…
In some ways, though we didn’t go all out with mass incarceration until the 90s
I look at it this way

Yeah…how about a nice game of chess instead?
The lowest of bars!
I made two Black plaintiffs show up for their depositions today, so I’m doing my part!
*It was their attorneys insistence that the depositions go forward. He’s the racist, not me!
Ranking eight NFL head coaching vacancies: Which jobs look most appealing in 2026? – CBS Sports
“The Buffalo Bills have arguably the best player in the league at the most important position in the sport in Josh Allen.”
What happened to Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson?!
One has a coach, one has begun losing a step, and the other is…well you know. Hostage.
I guess that’s why it’s arguable
It’s an ACL 😢
-1 is to the ACL, not you.
Danish petition to buy California from Trump signed by thousands
Okay, Greenland for California and a Dakota or Carolina to be named later.
Solvang is their secret weapon.
Soylent Green is the US’s, once Trump get the FDA off ICE’s back.
I like Danish! The raspberry ones are my favorite.
Am I allowed to sign or do you have to be Danish?
Any Scandinavian is fine.
As a Californian I would definitely prefer answering to sexy Danes like the couple who lived next door or Norbert Van Houten.
Trump would sell California in a cocaine heartbeat.

Welp… Back to work tomorrow. But not for much longer.
Legit bummed about Stroud and the Imaginarios. Hope he’s not too broken and he sees a good sports shrink to fix those yips.
Some hope for Hippo
That is some Big Dick energy right there!
He would NEVER committ welfare fraud!
Interestingly, after the game people were blaming Ben Johnson and the receivers rather than Caleb’s rather erratic throwing style. This town loves that kid, which is honestly nice to see after Cutler and the parade of QBs following him.
Also curious, before the game everyone agreed with my comparison between Caleb and Rex Grossman and after the game no one agreed lol
I also enjoyed watching Stafford live, he really is a very good pocket quartered back.
He really does have a cannon of an arm. It must be even more impressive live.
Game was a really good time, although total bummer how it ended. The snow really was perfect and I was plenty warm, even warm enough to stick my beer in my coat to de-slush it!
That’s Rockingggg!!! 👏
Greats seats
Just wish there was more action at my end of the field. The Bears were on the 20 right in front of me when they all walked to the other end of the field for the second quarter! Also wish I was A little bit taller (h/t Skee-Lo)
I’m glad you got to see a piece of sports history in the touchdown at the end of regulation. If the Bears had snuck away with a win that play would definitely need a name.
Also I really really hope that Europe/EU start making the United States experience consequences for its words & actions.
Sanction US travel, tax & tariff US multinational companies, boycott the Olympics & World Cup.
We totally deserve this. I realize it will suckkkkkkkk for US leaders & regular US citizens, but we need to be taught a lesson.
That would be Rocking.
Can’t boycott if we deny your visa first! Neener neener!
The EU has drones. Drone some US rich people. Just for funsies.
lol
That’s probably why Elmo always has one of his spawn riding on his shoulders.
The help might come from inside the house
Also, Kluwe sighting!
Philly also made Frank Rizzo the mayor, repeatedly.
And burned a chunk of their own city down bombing the MOVE house, but you can bet they don’t want Federales pulling that shit. It’s one thing to be racist assholes to your own city, a whole different thing to have outsiders come in and do it
As an EUropean, here’s my 2 cents… For Europe to react decisively to Trump’s bullshit, it would require a leadership with proper backbone that’s ready to put their own countries and the EU’s interest first and foremost.. and we have none of that.
We have what – von der Bint that’s destroyed more cell phones than Brady in the EU. The second most powerful person in the EU is Kallas who’s somehow managed to be so utterly fucking retarded and useless that even the European Parliament got professionally offended..
On the national level (in the countries that ostensibly matter) we have the beige wonder Starmer that’s still trying to convince the world that he only knew those Ukrainian builders (and rentboys) .. from playing cards…
Who else? Uh Merz who’s too busy trying to torpedo the Mittelstand by decoupling industry from cheap, stable energy (nuclear power *AND* russian gas), while ignoring the fact that Germany is like Japan in the 30s and 40s – “Sure, there’s industry, but there sure ain’t resources to feed it domestically)…
There’s the semi-sentient set of tits in Italy and … OH RIGHT, Macron getting shiners from his wife (slash husband slash schoolboy days’ predator), who’s too busy being bipolar about Putin – one minute he’s threatening to send the French army in Ukraine, the next is going “NOTICE ME SENPAI VLAD”…
And those are the quote unquote – the *COMPETENT* leaders in Europe. The ones so unpopular, that if there’s general elections across the major EU countries, Farage, Weidel and the like *WILL WIN*. And those are basically like Orban – “Ready, willing and able to assume the position for their tangerine taint-coloured God”
So.. WHO PRAY TELL will “make the US experience shit” in Europe aside from Vlad in Russia? And to be blunt – he’s better off letting Donnie Dipshit wreck the continent and international relations within the “Western” bloc than interfere.
If Europe could see the bigger picture, they’d be wise just to let us rot from the inside. We’re well on the way already.
Just know the VAST majority of the populace thinks he’s a fucking tool, our version of Louis XVI. Anyone that still supports him is either a TRUE BELIEVER or has some skin of their’s in the game, too.
If they could see the bigger picture, they wouldn’t have gone full Crusade mode over Ukraine in a vain attempt to get Russia to revert to the 90s’ state of selling shit for pennies and thus papering over the massive fuckups in the EU.
It is what it is and .. for what it’s worth – we don’t blame you for who you guys “elected” this time, since to be blunt … “it doesn’t really change on our end who you’ve got at 1600 Penn.. as the policies remain the same”.
Only difference is that Trump’s too stupid/arrogant to even try to couch his actions as some sort of “moral right”.
It is -20 outside. The audacity! I have to find my warm hoodie!
Bears lost.
Oh well. It’s was a Rocking season!!!!
🐻 🏈
Oh I heard about that bear, he immediately went tothe neighbor’s crawlspace
[reminder that as soon as a retread coach signs with a team in the same division (or conference if I get desperate) to come back and make a THIS GUY joke]
Wow, every head coach is being fired.
Nice analysis Hippo.
Ciao tutti.
The Hero We Need
Marvs have a habit of biting off more than they can chew
Took me a second, but Yes!
I’d be fine with TEN hiring Saleh, Mike McDaniel or Sean McDermott for head coach. No other retreads allowed [takes off flip flop and slams it on desk] NO OTHER RETREADS 🩴 💥🩴💥🩴💥
Flores?
OH SIIIII. FLORES ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE
🩴🩴💥💥🩴🩴💥💥🩴🩴💥💥🩴🩴💥💥🩴🩴💥💥🩴🩴💥💥🩴🩴💥💥🩴🩴💥💥
The folks on the Steelers websites don’t like Flores for some reason, but I can’t qwhite put my finger on it.
Too ethnic?
*looks for Horatio*
Sí
/fuels up ICBM
We’ve had the Flores discussion people.
He SUED THE DOLPHINS!
These fancy boy owners ain’t hiring nobody who sued one of their Very Special Boys Club.
He’s gonna get Rooney Ruled a few times for interviews but that’s it.
Besides he’s my teams DC.
[takes off flip flop and slams it on desk]
Calm down Caribbean Khrushchev
♫…now we’re sharing the same dream…♫
Are you sure you’re spelling that right?
One wonders if Brian Daboll is waddling back to the Bills Mafia. This would be very, very funny.
And for Daboll to use his influence to trade credit-hog Josh Allen for son-crush Jaxon Dart!
hey look I made a yesterday joke
McDermott is out in Buffalo.
holy cats, FOR REELZ???
Well, it is on the NFL site and NBC NY one…
Hippo be all on media blackout and shit this morning
Admit it – you threw the remote outta the window in disgust after you saw my Pats happy.. and you don’t want to go and look for it 😀
I never had the sound on (and only half paid attention in regulation, turned it off at 17-17) during the nightcap. The mee-jia’s cup overfloweth, no doubt. By cup I mean mouths. Overflowing with jism.
With this many retread (re-tread) coaches on the market HI I’M MARK DAVIS is going to be like Elisha in a candy store.
Another coach was fired but Zac Taylor is still employed?! Okay, now its not funny.
I mean it’s a little funny.
Okay, a little…

To be fair, it almost did. I guess that touchdown at the end of regulation used up the very last of the magic.
Sure, but my attempt to post the trollface wasn’t at the result per se.. but at the mental image of Zymm travelling all the way to Hippo in a FREE MALORT white panel van to kick him in the shins for mushing DaBears with that single line…
The dude to my left was the dumb puppy type and he hugged EVERYONE after that TD. It was gloriouUs!
If only!
I wouldn’t feel too bad about all the crappy officiating calls. They’ll all make sense once you see the organized crime wagers on the game.
If the mob got one over on the tech bro and VC parasites who own the betting sites, then more power to them.
