With the dreaded Lesser Footy international break upon us, one is especially thankful for the much improved Week 2 JV NFL slate. Without further a-doo-doo, to the fixtures! Notre Dame (-7.5) at NC State (Noon, ABC) People have already started fluffing the Irish, without the very necessary caveat that they haven't faced

Welcome to my diseased brain. Please to keep your hands inside the car at all times. Tips in any form of opium are accepted and appreciate. Ballsy: He prefers Taliban brand but any will do. Yes, I'm back to provide thoughts and cheerleaders. New Mexico (+38) at Texas A&M (7:00, ESPN) Come for

Huzzah September and a Full Sportsball Day

Autumn, indeed, is proof that God loves us. Football everywhere, y'all. Team Knifey host Everton early in the morning (7:30, USA). Midweek, the Toffees very narrowly averted disaster (ie, losing in the Cursed Caribou Cup to team #92 out of 92 in the English Football League). But fuck it, at least

If y'all thought the afternoon schedule was ridiculous, we are entering into (S)sublime territory. FOAR Ballsy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvAOW1oTMuw Ballsy: Thank you Hippo! May The Pills Be With U! I'll chip in with some thoughts and/or cheerleaders. UMass (+6.5) at New Mexico State (7:00, ESPN) I shit thee not, Team #133 out of 133 D-1A schools

Lesser Week el Tres, JV NFL Week Nil Open Thread

Apparently, 26 August is National Blow Notre Dame Day (congratulations to those who celebrate). Not much other excuse for them playing bad-even-for-their-recent-history Naval Academy crew...with essentially the ENTIRE slate to themselves. Seriously, this is absolute monkey feces. But I get ahead of myself, we have good Premiership action first. Cherries host Spurs

Prem Week el Segundo – Open Thread

King Hippo - August 19, 2023August 18, 2023

Did everybody enjoy week one? I mean, a home loss ain't never a great start...but at least Everton tried to play football. A bit Brentford-ish a vibe, perhaps? Anyway, we had Friday Night Footy again, and the peoples say amen. Poor Team Knifey, looked like their HT adjustments would earn them

We kicked off the Premier League under Boo-urnley's Friday Night Lights. What is the bestest reality check for the confident champions of the Championship? Oh yeah, a goal from Erling Haaland like 3 minutes into play. To their credit, the Clarets hung in, playing evenly for the next 30 or so

The big (pin intended) news of the past week is Leeds making the ultimate panic move - hiring Fat Sam Allardyce aka Gravy Tits aka (many other nicknames). He's corrupt, a tactical dinosaur, solely interested in media attention and self-promotion. Don't cry for the Stupid White Male being left behind,

April Fools' Day is the dumbest day of the Murrikan calendar. YES, even worse than Greeting Card Day (ie, 14 Feb). Take that shit somewhere else. City host the Redshite early (Peacock, 7:30), but down a Foden and likely Haaland, too. They should still be better (especially at home) but there's

The last one. Sweet mother of god am I ever eager to get this league over with. A night at the alley with friends while luring meeting lady tourists? Great time. 4 months of league bowling? Sure, that’s swell. I can do those things and enjoy them. But almost 7 full months

Next week, while I am traveling (I know, not looking forward to that experience whatsoever) Hippo will miss the last international break of 2022-23. Which is to say, hooray for me. All things considered, a reasonable slate of fixtures. Because of misaligned DST, we start later than usual (8:30, USA) with

Your friendly Puerto Rican good life enthusiast is not able to take care of tonight's Open Thread as he has some pressing business to attend to. (read: hot date with spicy Latina). By the way, the term Spicy Latina is redundant. Tonight, we have what is affectionately called around LA as
