This is the part of the Lesser schedule when the cup ties start flying fast and furious, and with MOAR at stake. You saw a truly heroic effort by rockingdog's Chelski squadron mid-week, but the Real Cuntfaces got off the mat and advanced. Kings of Shithousery Atleti (meant mostly as

Please to keep your hands inside the car at all times. You don't want to acquire the nickname "Stumpy." As during mid-week's torture session, I will add my instant reactions as the match progresses (with time stamps) in the body of the post. I used to regularly live blog NC State

As you may have heard, Everton are in a scrap for their very survival. Our heart, soul, and pride have already been rendered like so much hog fat. There is but one thing left, surviving the death blow. No matches look larger than "crucial relegation six-pointer" away to Burnley. Most Bitter

As we get ready for the goriest autumnal FITBAW ORGY EVAR, it's time to bury the dross. I am giving up on both MLB and JV hoopsball. They have both disappointed me beyond all Festivus limits. This year's Fuck Off Four will be fellated endlessly by the media, but it's horrid

Are you ready for some desert football? Because you'll soon be getting it. Before all that, a reminder that the Prem is back this morning, but feel free to sleep in. The 7:00 fixture is going to make the Final Four seem fellatio-free. Bees/Chelski is in the barrel at 10:00 (USA),

This week, it's all about one man: Lance "Buddy" Franklin became only the 6th person in the over 100 year history of Australian Rules Football to score 1000 career goals. It was a tremendous achievement and, as they say, THE CROWD WENT WILD. It was nice that it

I now remember how/why/how much I hate basketball. But, I have imaginarium obligations, so the games are below. I have added a picture of Kaylyn Kyle, because (i) she is PERFECT; and (ii) all eyes are on Canadia Lesser Footy this weekend. The rest is just trash to pass the

Ya Lebowski, we believe een na-shing!! - so says this late March morning during a stupid international break. So, without stealing any of Sharky's thunder (he's the one who teaches all y'all of classy, legitimate cocktails), I wanted to introduce the Clubhouse to two friends.

Night two, and you get to scan the following bullshit before turning your eyes towards the sexy thread. 15E St. Peter's (+12.5) v. 3E Purdue (7:09, CBS) A warning for Purdue Pete - you probably think you dodged a major bullet with this matchup. That's what Murray State thought, too. And they

Thanks so much to TUDN for teaching me that descriptor for the Round of Sixteen. Because it's not goddamned SWEET with Duke and especially U*NC participating. Anyway, I might have tuned out, but I can still give the imaginarium my uneducated, semi-coherent thoughts on the matchups: 4W Arkansas (+9.5) v. 1W Gonzaga (7:09,

This week, the AFLW Finals started! Sort of. Apparently, COVID went through the Collingwood team and their game against Brisbane was postponed. As of this writing, they still haven't figured out when it will be played. My understanding, however, is that a forfeit is not in play. UPDATE: THEY'VE
