Has everyone had just the bestest day?  Since I'm the only (living) Wolven Sort around (paging Warthog!), I knew y'all would have.  Talk about el beisbol if you want, but know that I will be quietly judging you for doing so. Ballsy: And he will be not so quietly judging me for

Damn, I will miss October.  Perfect month, with conference schedules heating up, NFL taking things up a notch, being able to shut down the HVAC system and enjoy a nice window-fed breeze. That said, November ALSO kicks ass, so no need for mourning. How will Chelski react to blowing a 2-nil lead

I think Scotchy might be passed out, so here you go. Dolphins (+3) at Iggles (8:20, NBC) 5-1 from the AFC against 5-1 from the NFC!  Genuine Superb Owl contenders!!  Sweet Dee and real life husband Mac MAYBE in the crowd? Watch me violate that word count, screw you WordPress.

Yes, indeed.  At least that's one pissed-offedness trigger that's on bye.  Huzzah, universe! Ballsy: It's a good thing my alma mater sucks at football and I don't like them because they rejected my niece. That way I can enjoy college football without any aggravation.

Because, goddamnit.  It's Derby Day, and as usual we have no fucking chance to even swindle a point out of those Redshite Motherfuckers. The game is on USA at 7:30 EST.  Which hopefully means I will sleep through it.  Poor little grandson Bronco doesn't yet know to give me a wide berth

Well, looky-loo.  We have waded one-third of the way through the regular season.  With one turd of a Week 6 slate. Closing out this year's London series, you had Ratbirds and Tits - seemingly a pretty interesting matchup.  You know, on paper.  In reality, Balmer ran out to an 18-3 halftime lead,

You'd think we'd get a better schedule from the universe, with no morning Lesser Footy to enjoy.  But noooooo, the universe say fuck all y'all, yew git what yew git. Georgia (-31.5) at Vanderbilt (Noon, CBS) Golly gee, sure glad Vandy has home field.  Imagine how bad they'd get pistol-whipped Between the Hedges. Arkansas

What a time to be alive, eh?  Some things happened yesterday, and here is what I discrened about a subset of said things. We get a near-perfect lineup, in terms of spacing.  1-6-4-1, with each "1" being intriguing enough to serve as a stand-alone option.  But with the NFL, every matchup/window

Some weeks, I just can't really be arsed to preview all the Lesser Footy.  Especially with the German Elton John up on his cross again, wailing about the Spurs match/VAR fuck-up.  You've gotten waaaaayyyyyy more than your fair share of oopsie-doodles over the years, please just STFU. Full schedule is here,
