Men Untied Rise Again? Lesser Footy Thread

King Hippo - April 8, 2023April 7, 2023

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

Hello, friends. It's a tradition unlike any other. It's The Masters. I'm Jim Nantz, and it's my distinct pleasure to bring you one of the great events in all of sports. It's Augusta National Golf Club, the Mecca of professional golf. The pride, the heritage, the racial purity. Yes, The Masters embodies

WHO YA GOT?? And more importantly....what is the Low Commander/Horatio #ShameBet? Needs must, y'all. JV Hardwood BOLTMEN!! (+7) v. Fightin' Horatios (9:20, CBS) Somehow, these two (seeded 5th and 4th in their respective regions) were the "chalk" picks of the semifinal round. Fuck me, is that ever some glorious chaos. In the final,

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

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Your BattleBots Beat Bracket Watch

Senor Weaselo - March 29, 2023March 29, 2023

The season starts back up tomorrow because of the midseason Madness break. Because they don't want BattleBots competing with the chaos that has ensued. (FAU? Hooty hoot, motherfuckas!) Anyway, I've been keeping track, fightwise and done my own crib notes. I'd call it Bubble Watch, but ESPN took that. I know

As you may or may not know, the West Coast has been hit with a lot of rain this winter. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for it and I want more to tell you the truth. We desperately need it. The only thing is that it interferes with playing golf.

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

Happy Flacco Eight/Dark Thoughts Saturday

King Hippo - March 25, 2023March 24, 2023

Not much going on until tonight's Flacc-tion, unless you count international footy (and you shouldn't). Big picture, I have been impressed with the high quality of play, and having no bastard fuckstain teams beyond the first weekend. Very pleasant changes of pace! I will briefly opine on tonight's fixtures, but first...a

Remember how I won my very first golf tournament and broke 100 on the same day? Well, I just finished my second tournament and let's just say there was no repeat. Not only that, I scored the worst I have scored in a VERY long time: 122! Let's start at the beginning. It

Not-So-Instant BFC Thoughts (on Aussie Footy)

BrettFavresColonoscopy - March 21, 2023April 6, 2023

Did you get that thing I didn't send you? Consider this an alternative "AFL Beat" that will mainly focus on the games I watched/tracked this weekend (and I make no promises of doing this on the reg). Keep in mind that I watch these games post hoc on the WatchAFL app,
