It's almost Opening Day, sports fans! OK, so technically there are already two games in the books, because why not spot the Dodgers a two-game lead? I try not to be a Cliche Middle Aged White Guy when it comes to baseball, because 1. Nobody likes C.M.A.W.G., and 2. Traditional Baseball had

Ok. There's officially Too Fucking Much Going On Right Now. Politically, the "Flood the Zone With Criminal Actions" plan has been wildly successful from my point of view. Even my deep reserves of molten fury are being taxed. Also, Dr. Mrs. Mayhem is out of town for the second work week in

The annual NFL Combine has come and gone, without any major controversies. No freakouts threatening medical personnel. No leaked stories about how poorly Jaxxsxxyon Dart did on MindBrain's latest miracle neuropsychocraniometrical testing regime. No full frontal nudity.

For the third straight week, Tuesday finds your Supreme Spiritual Leader buried in a tomb of ice and frigid winter. For me personally, this is fine. Spending the first half of my life in Northern Climes and being swathed in a generous layer of blubber (seal-style) has me reasonably well set

Hey there. I didn't know you were awake. Yeah, last season was great. We laughed. We cried. That thing you did with the new kickoff rule? Yeah, that was...no one has ever done that to me before. Where am I going? Oh, nowhere. I was just very quietly putting on my pants

Y'all fucked now. It's gonna be Buffalo and Philadelphia fans in New Orleans, a town second only to Las Vegas in promoting itself as The Home of Excess. Hide your daughters, hide your folding tables, grease up your lightpoles: it's gonna get weird. Seriously. The Bills are succeeding even when they are

Whelp, here we are again. As we bid farewell to this deeply insane Year of Our Lord 2024, I think I speak for all of us when I say: "Fuck'em if they can't take a joke." I say this not as a rude dismissal of the credulous, the overly-earnest or (in

Four games left. No more byes. No place left to hide for a whole lot of coaches on the hot seat. Let's go. -Lions vs. Bills is gonna be BananaCakes. The Bills are not great against the run, while the Lions run the ball very well. The Lions kind of suck against
