Teh Hippo asked me to fill in this weekend as he is driving to the Great White North. Considering he's from North Carolina, that could just as well be Virginia. Anyhow, I've got some things on my mind after this week's Champions League Quarterfinals Second Legs: Real - Man City should

As you may remember, I let you know about my first tournament win of the year and my lowest score differential ever in Volume 2. Today, I'm going to tell you about the very next tourney I played with my club. This month's tournament was a two-person team Scramble. In this

Yeah, since the season starts tomorrow (non-Korean games edition), it's something to farm #content with. Teams will be in standings order from last season, division by division.

Greetings, hola, guten tag, ni how, and yadda yadda. I swear the month of February exists only to mess with people's sense of time, space, and perception. 2024 is already six weeks old, we never really had winter in Yinzburgh, and I can't tell if the days are getting longer (sort

Do not worry. I am not treading on Horatio's turf. I do enough of that with my AVN Awards prediction post. You will get no insights into which player each team is picking beyond me telling you that the Commanders are getting yet another disappointing USC QB and the Steelers will

Ahoy-yoy!   I realized I never did a Stillers bye week report, but who cares. They're 7-6, will never beat the Patriots in any meaningful way, the offensive is broken to hell, and are somehow in currenth #6th seed. Tomlin Voodoo is real, ya'll. Just accept this. This season has been so
