Hey howdy, y'all. Did you enjoy a fine Fall weekend, filled with FITBAW and as little movement as humanly possible? Sorry for the humble brag.

Derby Days Reignited (and Other Lesser Matters)
God help me, but I think Everton actually goes into this Derby matchup with a puncher's chance (7:30, NBCSN). The Redshite will no doubt be focused after their 7-2 thrashing away to Villa...but thhat veneer of invincibility has faded. More importantly, Don Carlo has this bunch of Toffees believing in

Curse Yeeeewwww, International Breaks (and White Male Privilege) Open Thread
I still stand by my decision to turn the teevee off Thursday night. But, oh how I enjoyed some Friday morning schadenfreude. Yeah, the "uber-smart" G.O.A.T. (Fucker)...forgot what down it was during the final, failed drive. But what that funny little moment really did, to my mind? Illustrate the insidiousness of
Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 4, #NuAIDS Season
I preface this week's column by noting that any day that includes the Redshite losing 7-2 to freaking Villa?? Can't be a bad day. I was also coming off a nice 14 hours of Saturday night sleep.

“Let Lesser Footy Be Thine Escape” Sabado Open Thread
Hey, did y'all notice? Darkest Timeline got darker. As a Karmic punishment, #NuAIDS for teh win! But chaos is not the ally of the progressive-minded American right now. So...let's not think about it. Lesser Footy and JV NFL slate, commence! No, you are not waking up (intentionally) for Chelski hosting Palace. But it
Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 3, #NuAIDS Season
Week 2 was The One Where Everyone Died. Week 3 was The One Where Everyone Derped. [Closed captions for the hard-of-Hippo provided by the Church of the Immaculate Deception, Rev. E. Mayhem presiding] Did you ever wonder what that Most Evil Superb Owl [Falcons-P*triots] would be like, if only a series of ridiculous
Sabado Open Thread – It Means MOAR Again
That's right, y'all. The SEC is back, and with a glorious 10-game league schedule. Finally, a fall Sabado that actually feels like a doggone Sabado! But first, you get another Premier League morning, kicking off with United away to Brighton (7:30, NBCSN). This is...not ideal timing for the Trash Birds, with

Primero Sabado Componadora Open Thread
Hey, how y'all like the pidgin-espanol for "combination?" Although it won't mean MOAR until next weekend, there's enough on the JV slate to merit some discussion. First, the Lesser Footy. Rise and shine early for the UNDEFEATED, UN-DRAWN Muthafuckin' Toffees! This week brings home to West Brom (7:30, Peacock), and the
