Fuck it, I am lazy and depressive by nature. My Lesser Footy sides have ass kickings coming their way, too. We get a rare 5/5 Saturday/Sunday split with the EPL coverage, and no Saturday early game. WEIRD. Be warned, another hideous international break is on the horizon.

Well, I don't know what gets much scarier than what happened to Donks cult hero Wade Phillips on the sideline of what was otherwise a Most Glorious Pick Six for his defense. (Thankfully, the tubby defensive zen master is alive and well.) But the VERY SCARY STORIES that

Oh yeah, we is going full 80s cheese mode to illustrate the Man City/Arseholes/Shite three way currently in progress, with Chelski and Spurs jacking it just a point back. That is some parity going on. Did you own this cassingle? If not this, then which? I had several

This weekend came and went. I didn't particularly enjoy it, and the Donks still can make things worse with a MNF shitshow. I am reticent. THANK FUCK for HillyBob's steadfast competence. Speaking of steadfast competence, that is all we had seen from the Vikings and Sam Bradford.

Hey, doesn't that feature pic make you want to cheer FOAR the SeaTruthers, nanobubbles and all? Seattle at Arizona (8:30, NBC) After a dominant Monday Night win over the Jest, Arizona is 2-4 and thinking just maybe they can make a run at 10-6 or 11-5 and be that hot, dangerous wild

IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS, PEP! 1 point out of a possible 6? Drawing at home to fucking Everton (no ofence)? But alas, here we are. Still in first, but only by a slender goal over Arsenal, with Spurs 1 point back in third. Almost

Be warned - I feel like shit physically, and am still uber depressed from JV Saturday. Kinda mailing it in this week. Fleeting hope is just the fucking worst. I fucking know better. Your top story has to be DAK! shitting all over the Favrenis slurpfest. It's

You want, nay, DEMAND wake until passout Lesser Footy...and by gum, you gets it today. Sometimes the breakfast fixture is worth skipping, but Chelski hosting Leicester (7:30 EST, NBCSN) is a solid opener, especially after such a long starvation diet. Our defending champion Foxes need to string some wins together

And then, there was one. HAI, Minny!! Well, I guess we could awkwardly wave to Factory too, but...let's not and say we did? I am a bad person. Some frauds got found out this week, and definitely count YOOOOUUUUUSTON amongst them. But give the Vikes credit - they absolutely

We have yet another dumb-assed international break (right after Spurs beat City to finally create some intrigue at the top of the table), so it's JV and JV alone this Saturday. Plus, of course, lots of ridiculous, faux-solemn requests for prayers and donations by your favourite ESPN/Fox/CBS teevee foofs.

It's not the most glorious thing in the world, but we sports fans get overly used to the idea/extent of the "doormat" designation. It seems unthinkable that Team X could ever get their shit together...and then they are down to their 3rd QB. But lo and behold, things

Yes, this statement is certainly true if Lamar! (pictured above) runs train on Clemson, as he did on FSU. Otherwise, it may be a complex series of tiebreakers. Anyway, let's take thins in loose order. It's bad enough this post already misses Everton in Friday Night Footy
