Your 2017 Stihlers Bye Week Report

ballsofsteelandfury - November 7, 2017November 7, 2017

Thought you were done with me, huh? Nope! Because the Pittsburgh Steelers had a bye in the week just concluded, you get an update on where they are this season. Also, because it's me, you get it in homophonic pictorial form. Okay, let's start. I originally said that this season would hinge on

“What Mess Is This?” A Walking Dead Review

Beerguyrob - October 24, 2017October 24, 2017

Yesterday, I tried to combine two tortures into one, wanting the Open Thread to serve as a "Walking Dead" recap as well. However, like reading Uproxx whilst drinking a Bud Light, my day clearly fell apart and so I decided to keep the Thread pure and hold the recap over

Today is, arguably, one of the greatest days in the calendar year for 'Murricans. We are smack dab in the middle of a glorious three-day Memorial Day Weekend (four, if you were smart and took off on Friday) and there is nothing to do all day except for consuming large

“This Is My Yard!” – A “The Walking Dead” Finale Recap

Beerguyrob - April 4, 2017April 3, 2017

So around about the time Brock Lesnar was putting down Goldberg at Wrestlemania ("SUPLEX CITY, BABY!" - Tom Cable), the war was starting on "The Walking Dead". About 90 minutes later, I wish I'd actually been watching it, a feeling I hadn't had all year. It took a predictable Wrestlemania

“Well, That Was Penultimate” – a Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - March 27, 2017March 27, 2017

Well, the stage is (somewhat) set for the finale. This episode felt like a compilation episode. There were three distinct plot points, and the episode devoted equal time to each, sorting them out by the end and making it clear where things are heading into Week 16. And just like a

Beerguyrob - March 20, 2017March 20, 2017

So just when I think this show is running downhill, I come to the realization that I've set my bar too high. This week's episode was a continuation of events from three episodes back, when Eugene announced he's Team Negan & Negan killed the Sanctuary's doctor. But it starts at Hilltop,

“Mad About the Maddening Madness” – Dealing With Mom’s Eventual Phone Call

Beerguyrob - March 16, 2017March 16, 2017

First, a little musical accompaniment to accompany your reading pleasure: Are you enjoying your day so far? Excellent. We've already been treated to quite a spectacle. I myself started the morning games with a Mighty Leaf vanilla tea, because it was 10:00 AM and beer hasn't gone with Cheerios since university. Also, I

“That’s More Like It!” – A Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - March 13, 2017March 13, 2017

Finally, A good episode of "The Walking Dead". So good, in fact, that I'm using a special to indicate such. Last week, in the comments to the recap of “Rick & Michonne’s Romantic Getaway”, JustStopDude made the prescient observation that "If you just removed the zombie element from the show…this show would have been

Da Fuq did I just say up there? OK, my cheese may or may not have slipped further off my cracker a little more this week I'm afraid. Also, the word "theme" might have gotten stuck in my head for a little while I was trying to decide on a theme

Your “Rick & Michonne’s Romantic Getaway” Walking Dead Recap

Beerguyrob - March 6, 2017March 6, 2017

This fricking show. Sure, there were actual zombie kills this week. And the situation they found themselves in seemed plausible given the context of the show. But the constant need to intermix the relationship between the two with the tasks at hand keep the show mired between full-on soap opera and

“Ugh – Again With This Crap?” – A Walking Dead Review

Beerguyrob - February 27, 2017February 27, 2017

Man... I don't even know. I can tell you that I watched the Oscars with my wife, looking for my future wife. I will die on these hills. The whole fuck-up at the end was my reward for sticking it through until the end, which was some time after 9:00 Best Coast time. Then I

Just so we're clear: Sorry not sorry there was no review of last week's episode. I was busy. Boy howdy - a lot of websites sure liked last night's episode. I'm not sure how I feel. Visually, it was stunning. Plotwise it felt like another Herschel's farm episode, but in three locations. Okay,
