Hello everyone, and welcome to Germany's European Lesser Footy's 2020 (in 2021) Preview.

With the exception of Berlin, I've been to the major cities and areas of Germany. It's a really

(a.k.a. - the Tuesday Evening Open Thread - Beerguyrob) Hello, friends.

The Gang Defecates on a Super Corpse
As y'all may have heard...we had Lesser Footy WWIII this past week. Of course, there are still fixtures this morning (Hammers/Chelski being the highlight, spotlighted at 12:30 on Big Boy NBC)...but there's a turd in the punchbowl, over-powering the flavoUr. DFO's crack(head) team of Lesser enthusiasts tackle the big issues! Hippo

Your “This Ain’t Over Yet” Pre-Wild Card Thursday Open Thread
Self-righteous crap and crying: what a way to start 2021. Never underestimate media and charisma. Yeah, charisma; folks in leadership positions do acquire it, even despite personality. Also, overexposure turns the mind into mush. So when a powerful figure speaks, the minions do not require a direct message to stoke irrational
The D of S, Vol. II: Alle Porte del Purgatorio
Through the climb of Ante-Purgatory, about five minutes after the last volume ended TWBS: Hey, why'd you do that? We could have watched football and had beer and nachos with Gerry Ford! Senor: As much fun as that would have been we have to move. I know, it's unfortunate, but we would've
Rob Manfred Wishes He Were a National Disgrace
Nice to see those one-year punishments were so effective and black-balled the coaches involved, right? Ha. AJ Hinch (former Astros manager) to the Tigers.

I still stand by my decision to turn the teevee off Thursday night. But, oh how I enjoyed some Friday morning schadenfreude. Yeah, the "uber-smart" G.O.A.T. (Fucker)...forgot what down it was during the final, failed drive. But what that funny little moment really did, to my mind? Illustrate the insidiousness of
