I guess my law firm must HATE TEH TROOPZ because we get neither Friday nor Monday off.  But that's ok, I do all my shit from home so we might just have lots of "client development" time entries.  Y'all could be clients some day (well, the ones with the worst

We'uns approximately 50% of the way through the NFL regular season.  Week 9 brought pills, thrills, and bellyaches - just maybe not exactly where you expected to find them*. *Grandson Bronco REALLY likes to knock Precious Pill Bottle off the nightstand.  Good thing the little maniac is cute (pay no attention

Nut cuttin' time is here, y'all.  Also, I apologize in advance for next week's stupid international break.  Don't forget to wave at the Clubhouse degenerates who have assembled in Las Vegas! Mighty Whitey (fresh off a midweek Caribou triumph) get reeling Men Untied (fresh off a home spanking by Geordie Arabia's B

Streaks broken, vengeance earned, bullshit luckiness collisions, ded footballers everywhere.  Let's dive right in! Death #1 came in the Meadowlands, where the "visiting" Jest collided with the Vertically Enhanced Persons foj Jersey supremacy.  Unsurprisingly, it was a prize that neither seemed to want.  But would they draw?  Noooooo.  Tyrod Taylor got

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
