Cheating fuckers. With a little luck, you’ll be out of the tourney before the day is done. May you never win another sportsball event.  The quote and the banner are, of course, from tWBS /sterilizes floor tile, pours bourbon on it, covers with frying pan upside-down ‘Round these parts, hatred for the U*

[Note: this post WAS under construction. Thank you for your patience. /Turns to see if pandering worked Fuck alla youse] Last night, while aggressively ignoring the 2022 edition of the Annual Industry Self-Celebration, THAT happened and I got aware because DFO and Twitter exploded. I saw the videos, heard the audios, studied every

The NCAAs start later this week, but today is all about NFL free agency. Enough ados. The Bengals—the Bengals!—have been wheelin’ and dealin’ DT B.J. Hill (“3” years) OL Ted Karras (“3” years) OG Alex Kappa (from Bucs, “4” years) The quotes are not a bit. Remember: except for QBs, NFL contracts fall

I must have been in a morose daze these last coupla weeks because I failed to realize that the pandemic ended. The NFL dropped all Covid protocols, and mask mandates are on the outs seemingly everywhere (source: seemingly, K?). Here in Puerto Rico, where we’ve had strict measures since 03/20, it

If you, anyone, lives in Puerto Rico, you can’t vote for the U.S. President--the President of here as well. It does get awkward for boricuas to celebrate Presidents’ Day, although not as much as U.S. Independence Day. So instead of woke musings, I rather concentrate on what Presidents’ Day does

I’m peeved. Despicable Stan assembled a team of mercenaries and their triumph leaves an indelible mark on history. But enough about the Marvel cinematic universe. Although Aaron Donald would’ve been perfect for The Intelligent Hulk. God damn; what a player. NFL NEWS No games until [sigh] September. Yeah, I’m bummed alright. Although, gotta say: this was

There is one line of “Waiting for Godot” that shakes me deeply: “Never make a decision hungry, angry, or tired”. Which is self-fulfilling for a lazy and contented middle class—but I digress. Sometimes decisions need to be made angry, in the heat of the moment. There is a great injustice being

A 1,000% Rational Titans Bye Report (2021 Playoffs)

We’re into the meaty portion of the 2021 postseason, and what an occasion for NFL calendar pedantry (2022 starts after the Superb Owl), and also crowing about the Tennessee Titans Tits of Titanium being the AFC’s #1 seed. Ok. In reconsideration, more score-settling than crowing. A. During Weeks 7-17, everyone gave mad love

Stupor Wild Card Weekend was a picnic for the winners, even for the Bengals if you discount their own jitters. Honestly: the Raiders merely hung on, threatening in theory, until the final drive. Now? Uf. The Big Boy Round beckons, and Imma get presumptuous and declare that none of the fans
