Oh my cats, y’all. There be some sportsball today. Our hobo relocatoUr Imaginary Friend will bring glad tidings of NFL triple-header (for once, Good Jerb, Shield), but don’t forget the Lesser Reason FOAR the Season!
Foxes and Red Devils is a tasty early treat (7:30, NBCSN). These might be the two “wildest variance” sides in the Premiership, so Bananapuddings is very, very plausible. Ole put Everton out of Cursed Caribou at mid-week, but I still hate Rodgers waaaaayyyyyy to much to root against Wakey’s squadron.
For I believe the first time all season, we have multiple games in the 10:00 window. Remember pre-Plague, when they’d cram 4 or 5 into this slot (PHRASING)? Anyway, the dire Villa/Palace fixture (NBCSN) somehow gets the teevee box, while you have to stream Mighty Whitey (Peacock) hopefully taking Saints down a few pegs. God I hate those motherfuckers. Match is at the Cottage, so I expect Litre’s lot to do a good. FOAR humanity.
Spotlight Dance is proper, with a London Derby on hand (12:30, NBC) – Arsenal hosting Chelski. This also features our considerable Gooner contingent against rockingdog for Clubhouse bragging rights. Come on, ain’t nobody want to primarily watch MRSA Dreamboat!
You get two “late” games as well – a City/Barcodes snuff film (3:00, NBCSN) and Bored to Death With King Hippo! Toffees away to Team Knifey (3:00, Peacock). I predicted nil-nil on the Everton interwebs, and am sticking with it. Richarlison got concussed on a dirty play by United, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin is knackered (as the Brits say). Him-ez is still out injured, so no fucking clue where any goals might come from. Yes, that is the legendary Kruger Adams D***s, pictured above.
The JV Exhibitions have been even MOAR dreadful than usual, but what the fuck, here’s what today has in store anyway:
Scooping Up JFK’s Brain Matter Bowl – Louisiana (-14) v. Texas-San Antonio (3:30, ABC)
National broadcasts like this are a great argument in favoUr of keeping one’s cable subscription.
Payday Lending Bowl – Western Kentucky (+3.5) v. Georgia State (3:30, ESPN)
Somehow, the fixture sending kids on a “reward” trip to fucking Mobile, Alabama is one that did NOT get cancelled. I am not sure that either of these schools really has a FITBAW squadron, anyway.
Charlotte Sometimes Emo Bowl – Liberty (+7) v. Coastal Carolina (7:30, ESPN)
Now this one, maybe I flip to a little bit. Without the Fightin’ Falwells’ one loss on the season (Wolven Sort WOO!!!!!!!!!), these two would be squaring off for perfection and a Top Ten finish. Lord knows, we are all rooting for the Chanticleers…but you remember what year this is, yeah? Moneyline the Falwells.
New thread!
DOINK!
Suck-up just isn’t necessarily a good kicker
Didn’t he used to suck in Tennesee? His name kinda fits. Like naming your daughter Krystal or Amber and being surprised when they end up as titty dancers.
Gronk smash!
I think I see the problem with the TB offense. Quit running the ball.
GAMBLOR stake back over $1,000!
yeah, baby PENNO
SURMOUNTABLE LEAD!
Black Lives Matter? Tell that to your Rwanda sponsoUr, Gooners!
Um, technically pushing people to visit would be helping them, wouldn’t it?
stop ruining my genocide joke smgdh
Sans to all of us
Looked it up. Top 3 safest countries in Africa to travel too.
I’m trying to think of a lower bar. “Top 3 competent Bears QB” is the only thing coming to mind.
Top 3 referees in the Prem.
They can stay at the Hotel!
The owner’s certainly not using it these days.
I have Hulu Live and don’t have NFL Network but looking at these games I’m not putting any effort to get an illegal stream and I don’t care.
Middle fixture is Amazon Prime only
I have Prime so I guess I’ll try.
/slaps ass, HARD
Arsenal’s defensive scheme reminds me of Monty Python, in that, via the categorical imperative, it exists only in the imagination.
The jumpsuit needs to come back. That lady on the NFL Network is rocking her green one.
Can nae believe I want Blue Fulham to win this and keep Arsenal down with the London Jaguras.
Good to see Xhaka’s in his usual special* form
*Special meaning he took the short bus to get to today’s game.
One presumes that your fuckwit owner gets a tax break for employing him.
nice.
Pulisic is gettin the start for Chelski
Wow, Robbies (ok, one Robbie) think Gooners might give Handsome Mikel the sack already??
I don’t know enough about tactics to comment on his skills in that area, but I’ve seen enough teams that have quit on their coaches to know that Arsenal seems perilously close to that level of play, especially over the last couple of week. If they take a 3-0 drubbing and look like they did the last couple of games it would not surprise me in Handsome Mikel got dumped on his ass.
It would surprise me if he had so much as a hair out of place after landing on his ass.
he’s really just so goddamned handsome
Arsenal’s probably quitting on him out of jealousy.
Also, I do get high on me own supply – 50 Ameri-quid this morning on Fightin’ Falwells to win (+220)
That’s a good investment, in that if they win you make money, and if’n they lose, well, I’d pay more than $50 to make the Fightin’ Falwells feel bad.
Indeed. Betting against the heart is usually solid strategery. Love them Chanticleers, dude!
The Giraffe is BACK for Week 16, baby!!!

HOW MANY MORE MINUTES UNTIL THIS HOTLY ANTICIPATED LIONS-BUCS TILT STARTS? THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME.
I imagine the talking heads shrieking Lookit how dreamy MRSA Dreamboat is! Isn’t he EVAR so lovely??
/as such, watching Arse/Ski until the blue cunts go ahead
gotta figure Brady & Co r gonna
skin some lion cats
I’m so rooting for Brady. He’s done me right on so many fantasy teams over the years.
I have to miss most of the Arsenal game while traveling to Mom’s for a drive-by gift exchange, and I can’t help feeling I’m better off.
Barnsley at the death, cha-ching!!!
Fuck everything forever.
Did they wave the soccer point off? Nil-nil on NBC score tracker…
yeah, I’m seeing it as a tie and a point for Fulham.
I didn’t realize Fulham had so many points that they were disdaining ties these days.
I has $20 on Gooners to lead at HT. Come on, you arses!
/guess that raises the Balls Bat Signal
There’s $20 you won’t see again.
Playing with house (Barnsley) moneys!
/mostly just bored
//also fuck Tory Cunt Frank Lampard
Boxing Day Challah bread French toast with butter, syrup and whipped cream. All is good.
Now, now, there are no silly fouls on Jack Grealish. If you have a chance to kick Grealish, you take it, consequences be damned.
This is fact.
Crystal Palace has the best kits in the Premier League, and that may be the only thing keeping them up.
The refereeing this season has been the worst than any time that I can remember.
it must be said
Fantasy Football question:
Should I start QB Jalen Hurts (vs. Dallas) or Jared Goff (vs. Seahawks)?
leaning towards Hurts…
agreed, Hurts
“Go with the former.” – O.J. Simpson
“I agree, you gotta put your trust in the donut producer.” – Andy Reid
Goff failed me last week like a big failer. Yeah, it Hurts.
I’m kind of miffed that the banner image for “Boxing Day” wasn’t this image of Geno Smith and our old friend Poorhouse:
Good day, gentlemen. It has been a wonderful Boxing Day so far in the most southern of Africas — I just informed my housekeeper that she will be receiving a very generous five pence raise to her annual salary. I only hope that the Arsenal can bring me almost as much joy as my housekeeper is experiencing right now.
Jokes aside, I wonder what ever became of my housekeeper in South Africa. She was a really wonderful person.

smh Liberty should by rights be playing Equality in their traditional bowl matchup today. Winner gets to face Fraternity next week.
Makes sense, as the only way a Falwell would be associated with Equality would be in trying to defeat it.
Bananapuddings is very, very plausible.

git outta bed, ye hungover shitehouses!
I’m up, I’m up! But I’m not hungover which is…different.
still drunk then??
Scotchy just had a busy Xmas. You know how it goes:

And some by their hair
Ok ok! Just took a nap after First AM Coffee, then swept and mopped La Mansión.
I was up at 4 with Deci, then back to bed for a couple hours. Just enough time in this game to make me furious all day.
