Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 8, 2019 Season

What Week 8 lacked in greatness, it made up for it with folly.  Oh, folly abounded. Chi****/ex-San Diego played perhaps the derpiest game I have ever seen, at least without weather playing a major role.  Bollo del Verdad remained atrocious.  Matt Nagy wisely ran, ran, then ran some more...for most of

Forgive me if these are even shittier than usual - I'm not in a particularly decent mood (even by Hippo standards). Naturally, one should lead off with the Tomsulas' 9-nil win over the Dacteds in wet, dire Landover.  Under 10 points for both sides combined, in a game with no snow

This past Thursday, I had my "every 5 weeks" haircut, rescheduled to 1:30.  I arrived before my stylist was back from lunch (fuck you, what kind of Philistine DOESN'T use a stylist??), so I walked around the corner to get a libation (as I am back off solid food).  As

The best one can really ever expect out of this piece of shit life is a mixed bag.  Thusly, I found out (having to run an annoying parenting errand) that I could NOT get the satellite broadcast of my Donks continuing to shitcan King Laserface, but instead was stuck listening

I am starting this riposte during a 3 Oct continuing legal education seminar.  Today's predicted high in Wake County, North Cakalaky, is 97 muthafuckin' degrees.  I am seriously about to lose my mind.  Watching cold, rain, and wind in Northern Europe?   Helps a little, but also sooooooo jelly.  This is a

Heidy-ho, it's a glorious Monday morning with a sense of order returned to the universe.  That's right, Most Glorious el beisbol Cardinals have won the National League Central, and will make the playoffs relevant again.  Thank you, Jack Flaherty. But what of Donks WOO!!!??  Well, they sure tried hard again!  Our Equine

My oh my.  Sunday was a fine September day indeed.  As a preliminary matter, I sweated my balls off through the fourth consecutive 1-run win by mah beloved, Most Glorious el beisbol Cardinals in Wrigley.  First such sweep since 1921.  But you come to hear of the footy, and there was some quite

I'm not really good - good at at all, really - with themes.  But fuck me, do I love this song.  Let it take us into 21 September 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqDO6DWldpw NBCSN wants your ass up early with Foxes/Spurs at 7:30.  It's an interesting matchup, for sure.  I will try to make it

Sometimes, everything sucks all at once.  This was my sportsball weekend.  Thanks for showing me you can get darker, Darkest Timeline. Did you know that Stephen Gostkowski missed TWO extra points yesterday?  I mean, the P*ts still won 43-fucking-0, so maybe it escaped your attention.  Shit, even if you took all
