Is everybody ready for some NIL-fueled FITBAW?? I fuckin' thought so. West By God Virginia (+7.5) at Pittsburgh (7:00, ESPN) A great (read: hate-filled) rivalry gets re-ignited. Suffer along with WCS, not sure anyone in the Clubhouse has positive fee-fees for JV Yinzers? Anyway, this is way too many points. Fuckers du

I've told y'all before, but I've never been more certain - Very Disappointing Everton will be Very Championship Everton in 2023-24. Neal Goddamned Maupay. Jesus wept, and then took Mr. RazoUr Blade down the tracks. No, we don't go for attention around these parts. Anyway, this is a real banger of a tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqN9flclRio In

One entertaining facet of our new 3-game scrimmage schedule - some teams treat this as a dress rehearsal (nods in Grumblelord), while others could not MOAR plainly just give zero fucks (HAI, Donks WOO!!!). I have not followed any of tonight's foursome enough to predict usage patterns, but let's talk

Prem Heating Up – Saturday Open Thread

King Hippo - August 20, 2022August 19, 2022

Even beyond the deliciousness of Men Untied and the Redshite entering their Up Own Rectums Derby having secured a total of 2 points from a possible 12 - the League is full of storylines, even by its own standards. I get the sense we will have a very entertaining season of

Man, I have been enjoying the fuck out of this new Gorillaz jam on SiriusXMU (and not just because of the hilarious title): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S03T47hapAc Back to bidness, NBC's "hostage taking FOAR Peacock" thankfully only lasted one week. We get a normal teevee slate, led off by Very Disappointing Everton away to assdick Slippy

Footy Observations – Saturday Night Thread

King Hippo - August 6, 2022August 6, 2022

It's great to have the Footy back, is it not? Over-analyzing Matchday One is a fool's game, but hey, I am guilty as charged. The King's Afrikan Water Pistols may just "have the balance right" now. They looked dangerous, and comfortable on the ball. And - very new for them

Let's face it, Clubhouse footed ball enthusiasts. Most of our dreemz is ded already, but the beauty of Week One is we don't know FOR CERTAIN or how they'll go about dying. So, we giddy-up with NBC, USA, and Peacock Premium and WE FOOKIN' RIDE again. Friday Night Footy gave us a

You Make The Call – Should Hippo Retire From (Non-DFO Yahoo) Fantasy FITBAW?

King Hippo - July 30, 2022July 28, 2022

I will still play in Freezer Vodka League, if nothing but to keep my decaying mind functional. But I swore last season would be my last in my high-intensity, moneyed fantasy auction league. True, there is NOTHING like the rush of the auction itself. Pre-Pandemic/Zombie apocalypse, I drove from Wake County,

It does not appear these are in precise alphabetical order, but I'mma just draft based on what popped up (PHRASING) on Google. Miscellany and team thoughts to follow: Bournemouth (2nd in C'ship 2021-22, yeah right's KREW) KH: I am fairly interested to see how these do, and/or whether Ruggedly Handsome Scott Parker

Well, looky-loo. I actually got off my lazy arse and made a 2nd thread today! My cats (son, Kruger - the orange tabby; grandson, Noodles - the gray and black) deserve some special recognition. This week has been quite trying, on multiple levels. But this picture comes from earlier in the

Welcome to the first installment of our annual preview series, kicked off because I have fuckall else to write about. July sucks all the ass. As a supporter of the franchise who enjoyed almost two decades of Our Equine Lord and SavioUr, followed by a brief desert wandering, followed by the

Write the Saturday morning DFO column. Forget the loose idea one had in mind for the Saturday morning DFO column. Sweat like a Black man in an Alabama courtroom. Wonder if #3 was racialist? No, it is the children who are wrong. Should I attend the Everton match tomorrow?
