As you may have heard, I'm not a big Tiger Woods fan. To paraphrase The Bard, how much do I hate thee, let me count the ways! He's a dumbass with a shitty personality. He cheated on his beautiful blonde wife with skanks. The golf world covered up his bullshit because it desperately

Welcome back to the Beat! Yeah, the title I could have gone multiple ways with, so I decided on… none of them!

BattleBots Beat: Boom, Clock Shot.

Senor Weaselo - April 20, 2023April 20, 2023

Welcome back to the Beat! First off, a Robogames update: Here's highlights from this year's champion, Manta. They were not admitted to BattleBots for WC VII, but this should get them in for VIII. Yes, that's a whole bunch of legally-not BattleBots competitors, in that they're the same robots with

As I think I may have mentioned in the past, I'm on a thing at work where I HAVE TO take vacation days each month due to a vacation cap. If I don't use them, I stop accumulating vacation time and I don't trust stupid HR people to remember to

Onward we trudge, with at least Most Glorious NFL Draft starting to peek around the corner. But alas, summer also lurks - we had one hell of a thunderstorm in North Cakalaky as I type this (Friday morning). At least it won't be in the 90s when the clouds part.

BattleBots Beat: See Your Body Into the Moonlight

Senor Weaselo - April 13, 2023April 13, 2023

Welcome back to the Beat, where we time crunch the important stuff. Whoops. Anyway, the bubble is starting to take shape. Who'll be in, who'll be out, and who'll be freaking out the entire time? We start finding out now. To the fights! Lock-Jaw vs. MadCatterLock-Jaw: 2-1 (W, JD 3-0 vs.

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Senor’s Spring Break Update

Senor Weaselo - April 12, 2023April 11, 2023

Well last week was fun. I went to the fights and a hockey game broke out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRh2MB8fuXs I'd say all in all, fun was had by most, and it's just how I drew it up, a multi-goal game from Tyler Motte. The bridge level at the Garden is a really good vantage

ballsofsteelandfury - April 12, 2023April 8, 2023

As you may or may not have noticed, there was no Balls Magazine last week. The reason for that is that I haven't had the time to get out onto the course or the driving range. That all changes today as my local golf club just had its third tourney of

While we wait on the Easter Bunny to spring back into life, at least there is sportsball to keep us occupado. Home to Still Shite But Trying Harder Everton (7:30, USA) should be a nice cure for the Fightin' Wakeys goalscoring woes. I am still mad at them for capitulating so meekly to

Your “BFC Has More AFL Thoughts” Thursday Night Open Thread

BrettFavresColonoscopy - April 6, 2023April 6, 2023

Three weeks of the 2023 Aussie Footy season are in the books, and here are some observations from 'Murrica: Holy shit was I (read: everyone) wrong about Geelong. They're at the bottom of the ladder and looking woeful/like they woefully belong there. Injuries are crushing teams, not just my Giants

BattleBots Beat: Your Midseason Return

Senor Weaselo - April 6, 2023April 6, 2023

Welcome back to the Beat! We've had some time to stretch our legs, so with (we think) five episodes left before the tournament we can see where we stand as everyone finishes their third fights and moves on to their last ones. Let's get to it, shall we? To the

It's Augusta National Golf Club, the Mecca of professional golf. The pride, the heritage, the racial purity. Yes, The Masters embodies
