CFL Beat: Week 21

The Maestro - October 24, 2024October 23, 2024

The playoff picture is now almost set - save for two final important games that will determine the winner of the West Division, and an always-valuable first-round playoff bye! We have one "meaningless" week of football - but I do hope all the same that it's mildly entertaining. The final

Full Autumnal Glory (nae Holes) Returns!

Yes, we get the Prem back this weekend, to go along with a fairly killer set of JV ball. It's (momentarily) good to be alive. That means Spurs and Hammers over morning coffee (7:30, USA). In my mind, jury's still out on both - they could be Zooropa contenders, they could

CFL Beat: Week 20

The Maestro - October 17, 2024October 16, 2024

A quiet week for general CFL stories to share. We'll cut right to the chase and jump straight into it, I think. In league news this week: It looks like Ottawa may have starting QB Dru Brown back this week against Toronto; he suffered what's believed to be an ankle injury

CFL Beat: Week 19

The Maestro - October 10, 2024October 9, 2024

I woke up this morning and didn't have to deal with the flood waters of Hurricane Milton. That makes my week better than a minimum of three million other people's weeks. So that's pretty cool. As always, our best wishes to everyone dealing with this terrible storm right now -

“The Bountiful Fall Harvest Continues” – A [DFO] NHL Preview

Beerguyrob - October 8, 2024October 8, 2024

Hi everyone, It’s your old pal Beerguy, back once again to pronounce what’s what for all the NHL teams in advance of the upcoming season. Technically, this preview is a tad late, because Buffalo & New Jersey are over in Prague drinking it up like Brits on a stag. But since I

Did you enjoy the early happenings? I sure nuff did. Or maybe I didn't. I am writing this Friday afternoon. Clemson (-14.5) at Florida State (7:00, ESPN) This could be interesting, if the Semenholes had a quartered back. But they don't even have the well-below-cromulent DJ Ukelele no MOAR. They's right fucked. Tennessee

The Maestro - October 3, 2024October 2, 2024

With fall finally settling in and leaves changing colour, football weather - and the resplendent feelings of coziness - have finally settled in at last. This is now the third season of watching sports in my home, and I think the nesting skills have only improved with time. Perhaps it

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Hey, It’s October!

Senor Weaselo - October 2, 2024October 2, 2024

You know what that means! No, fuck your spooky season, and quadruple-venti-fuck your PSL season. (Cider season is better anyway, comparing apples to pumpkins.) It's ALL THE SPORTS season! Football is in full swing, now it's the baseball playoffs, the NHL season starts in Czechia on Friday and in North America on

CFL Beat: Week 17

The Maestro - September 26, 2024September 25, 2024

With five weeks to go in the regular season, there's much to be decided in the playoff picture still. Ottawa and Winnipeg both have a chance to clinch a spot this week, but after that, there's still lots of intrigue still - especially in the chaotic West Division. I look

It's what I'll be doing! (BOOTS ON THE GROUND, DFO NOT-CON EDITION, WITH SOME HOT NOODS… it's ramen, remember that today's only Wednesday.) From that to news! Yeah, that's a segue. Regarding news from yesterday: Brett Favre with the Spacey Defense. Listen, I'm sorry that all those hits inevitably accelerated such a
