I guess it makes sense to feature this during Thanksgiving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9fk2aLY07o Fuck, ain't that just amazing work?  Now, exit your nostalgic stupor, we've got FOOTBALL to watch. City of Men take on the filthy Redshite, bright and early (7:30, Peacock).  YMMV, but I can't really bear to watch. Robins Hood and Trashbirds get the

Yes, I am angrily pilled to the gills.  Let's see how much Hippo can remember about these past 14 hours! Oh dear God, did The Shield EVAR test Germany's schiesse porn limits.  P*ts opened with a long drive and FG, Humps responded with an even longer TD drive.  Then...nothing.  A whole

Hello, y'all.  The half-assing it substitute teacher is IN! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcwX2TnsTPE These is your early afternoon offerings, crafted lovingly in Ginger Hammer's kitchen FOAR YOU: Texans (+6) at Bengals (1:00, CBS) Both these squadrons come into Week 10 shit hot.  But there's "oh fuck, they look Owl worthy again" hot, and then there's "that's really
