It's great to have the Footy back, is it not? Over-analyzing Matchday One is a fool's game, but hey, I am guilty as charged. The King's Afrikan Water Pistols may just "have the balance right" now. They looked dangerous, and comfortable on the ball. And - very new for them

Write the Saturday morning DFO column. Forget the loose idea one had in mind for the Saturday morning DFO column. Sweat like a Black man in an Alabama courtroom. Wonder if #3 was racialist? No, it is the children who are wrong. Should I attend the Everton match tomorrow?

Hey, y'all. It's still July. We may be only ONE WEEK from a Baltimore meetup (but we are all shitty planners, so details still TBD). In the meantime, I need sommet to write about. Hey, why not Argentina's own Temperley? Technically, they are Club Atletico Temperley - or C.A.T. You can

No doubt you remember the original. #BFIB regular, excellent defender in LF (before such was really appreciated, sadly), well-rounded offensive profile. A few Hollywood cameos, even! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsLRtId0WPk Well, he's been re-born as a Salford-native midfielder-turned-manager, thanks to Football Manager 2020. He would have stayed at Everton forever, but the Board pissed him

Really, my brain is running out of nonsense. I ain't think that was EVAR possible. We need MOAR SPORTSBALL and we need it right soon. Previously, my pill-addled brain cavity brung forth the Shithole Countries World Cup. I still think that's a ratings winner. And fuck me sideways, would folk ever bet on

Not on a Wednesday. Not written by TWBS. Now in POSTER FORM! So, a few days ago, I happened to comment that we had a few motivational posters in our conference room at work and Scotchy did not believe that was actually a thing. The actual words were, "pics or it

I should be grateful we only had two absolute hellfire hot days this week. It's The South, things will only get worse. But fuck me, I am already over it. My cervical spine is being a bigger asshole than usual. Thus, I just can't get comfortable. Reading, Footy Manager, even TV
