More balls will be footed today, huzzah! Purdue (+3) v. Auburn, Bring Back Faith Hill Bowl (Nashville, TN - 1:30, ESPN) The nation watches as Purdue Pete tries to win one MOAR for Cancer Boy. Unfortunately, the SEC West - much like cancer - always wins in the end. West By God Virginia

Boxing Day Open Lesser Footy Thread

King Hippo - December 26, 2018December 26, 2018

Rejoice, for the Merry Brits are bringing the sport lumber today! NBCSN has a quardruple-header, starting with Fulham/Wolves (NOW, nil-nil as the second half gets under way). This is followed by a terrible Bardodes at Redshit fixture (10:00), then two pretty decent ones - Brighton/Arsenal (noon), and Chelsea/Watford (2:30). Of course 10:00

Reflections

King Hippo - December 24, 2018December 23, 2018

Ho, ho, ho, here are some things we know! Congratulations to Breesus Christ and disciples, winner of home field throughout the NFC playoffs! The Saints continued to look a bit wobbly, but much like a weeble, they managed not to fall down (again). Cognizant of his opponent, Coach Epps tried a

Sorry, forgot I was doing this. As we speak, Palace have roared back to take a 2-1 lead on City. At the Etihad. BANANACAKES!! There is also Hammers/Moose Hornets and White Power/Barcodes on NBC Gold. United look for their new manager bump in the spotlight dance (12:30, NBC) in the easiest setting

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 15, 2018 Season

King Hippo - December 17, 2018December 16, 2018

The calm before the storm, maybe? If Week 15 felt a little anti-climactic, that is because it was so. But although an expected outcome in just an average-played game...CONGRATULATIONS to the NFC North Champion Bearistocrats! Twas a combination of effective defense, and solid quartered backing, which is absolutely the Chi**** script. As

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 14, 2018 Season

King Hippo - December 10, 2018December 10, 2018

Having my brief sanity break last Sunday and Monday, I found an opportunity (in response to a GREAT Christopher Liss column - if not a paid subscriber to Rotowire, you really should consider signing up before your next draft/auction) to examine, then articulate my answer to the age-old query: Why Do

JV NFL – Conference Title Weekend

Let the jockeying FOAR playoff/exhibition positioning begin! Texas v. Oklahoma (-7.5) @ House That Jerral Built (Noon, ABC) I never get anything I want (in this case, the lesser steer-fucky of these two sides in the playoffs), so I am betting Texas. That's too many points in any event, even if Boomer

King Hippo - November 26, 2018November 25, 2018

Delight of delights, the Yinzers finally ran out of dumb luck, and my Donks served as the direct beneficiaries! Much like a certain annoying JV fixture one day earlier, Denver established the run - against an aggressive but overall just mediocre defensive front seven - and stuck with it. When

Huzzah, booze and leftovers! And for the sporting day beginning at 10 EST like God intended (though I still may bitch a little re the lack of a 7:30 option). West Ham and Man City are your NBCSN option, and that should be a right bloodbath. Fortunately, you can watch Everton

Good hangover and fat shame morning, Commentist Party members! The footy gods are kind today, at least. /also LMFAO at Colt McCoy Texas at Kansas (Noon, FS1) All the Steerfuckers have to do is beat Waiting-on-Les-Miles to make the conference title match. Can they possibly fuck this up? Houston at Memphis (Noon, ABC) In case

Happy Thanksgiving, one and all. Welcome to installment one of today's carnival. Chi**** (-3) at Detroit (12:30, CBS) We have replaced Bollo de la Verdad with sommet called Chase Daniel. Yeah, I bet you did notice. Somehow, this only moved the line 1.5 points, which I think vastly understates how key a

Holy cats, amirite?? I'mma just leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szr7wPmdMHE OK, fine, I will type some more. These guys are for real, despite a slew of injuries (Two of the Good Ones being the real problem, as Josh Reynolds can capably step into the Cooper Kupp role). You can't dismiss them based on schedule.
