Into the PeriloUs Void – Early Saturday Open Thread

What, did you wake up and hope to see Premiership footy?  And then JV NFL??  Too bad, you get nothing.  Absolute fuckall. Well, there are FA Cup ties, though the draw was pretty uninspiring (though surely nothing can bottom out as badly as Everton's dreadful nil-nil away to Palace on Thursday, when

Was everybody amply and appropriately bored with the appetizer games?  #MeToo. Now, let's dig into that main fucking course. Alabama (+2) v. Michigan (5:00, ESPN) One might think this is hangover mercy, putting the better matchup/de facto championship game in the early slot.  But apparently this is solely to satisfy the Rose Bowl

Welcome to Festivus 2023.  We've all got ample complaints, I am certain. Happily, we do get an early bird special, and its David Moyes Vengeance - Fronk's Hammers hosting Wakey's Men Untied (7:30, USA).  Men Untied are coming off perhaps their best effoUrt of the season, which is good.  But it

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

Hermana Weaselo was supposed to come over Thursday morning and we were going to make the meats together, with Madre Weaselo's general recipe. But then she wasn't feeling great, so she had to back out and wait to come with the rest of the family Weaselo. And I have

I guess it makes sense to feature this during Thanksgiving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9fk2aLY07o Fuck, ain't that just amazing work?  Now, exit your nostalgic stupor, we've got FOOTBALL to watch. City of Men take on the filthy Redshite, bright and early (7:30, Peacock).  YMMV, but I can't really bear to watch. Robins Hood and Trashbirds get the

Reflections on Redemption and Some JV NFL Previews

There is no Premiership action this morning.  Hope you remembered to sleep in. This Autumn has been interesting for Hippo, to say the least.  Denver started 1-5.  Everton had one point at the first international break.  NC State...was doing NC State things, losing at home twice (ND and Louisville), and getting
