Senor Weaselo - December 28, 2022December 28, 2022

Well, the torch has gone out over The Pond in Draklin, and we have our new champions, and boy, are they not who you would have expected if I told you in the summer! Let's go through all 32 teams, both Marble League proper and Showdown squads, and give thoughts,

Mittwoch Holiday Week What The Crap Else Are You Doing This Week Thread

WCS - December 28, 2022December 28, 2022

Welcome reprobates, degenerates, and occasional nice people. It's that weird middle-of-the-week day in between Christmas and New Year's, and this year it happens to ba Wednesday for Peak Weirdness. Kids don't have school, and most people I know who have actual job-type-job take this week off, too. Where does that

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Holiday Rush

Senor Weaselo - December 21, 2022December 21, 2022

It's that pre-Christmas rush, or as musicians know it, time to play the same things we play every goddamn year. Okay, that's a slight mistake. I haven't had anyone ask me to play The Nutcracker this year. Part of that might actually be a soft boycott on Tchaikovsky, due to goings-on

BC Dick - December 20, 2022December 20, 2022

The skies are angry today, my friends. And whoever is setting the thermostat is a cruel bitch. -12C (10F) was the high today and snow has been falling by the trouserload. It’s coming down so hard on me I feel like that poop cam I left in the Arby’s lavatory. The

Wall of Nothingness Saturday Lesser Footy Thread

Thanks the Good Lord we shall have JV exhibitions and flexed NFL goodness next Saturday. But this weekend? WE SUFFER. My brain also hurts, so this will be brief. Yesterday was pretty great early, with noted sister-fucker Neymar putting the Boiz from Brasil on the board in Extra Time. But alas, they

Wrapping Up the JV Playoff Field – Nighty-Night Thread

Have you enjoyed the bread and circuses of JV NFL 2022? I sure have. My own team was mediocre and schizo, but I am used to that. Twas nice to see U*NC get knowcked down off their "pillars of sand" pedestal, first by Georgia Tech, and then at home by

Wumbo Wednesday with Weaselo: Hazard Pay

Senor Weaselo - November 30, 2022November 30, 2022

In that I don't get it for having TWO gigs last week outdoors, in November. I instead get to play in poorly-heated tents. I'm still sick. I'm pretty sure Wednesday and Thursday I had bronchitis. Ain't nobody got time for that! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydmPh4MXT3g We can only hope that she's doing well. How did I

Early Morning Slave LaboUr and JV NFL Regular Season Finale Thread

Good morning, one and all. Stuff yourselves full of the footed ball offerings, because it's gonna start tapering off. I am not paying enough attention to specifically preview the Slave LaboUr Cup matchups. But by all means, discuss away. Michigan (+8) at THEEEEE Ohio State (Noon, Fox) I am really nauseated by Fox'

CFL Beat: Your 2022 Season Wrap-Up

The Maestro - November 24, 2022November 24, 2022

Another season, another end-of-year wrapup. As cliché as it is to write this, the CFL genuinely did leave their best for last, with a barn-burner of a Grey Cup game that provided all of us with a thrilling ending! Before the recap, we'll lead off with the final round of

Return of the Tweaker Fixture! JV Open Night Thread

King Hippo - November 19, 2022November 17, 2022

Bad news? The 7-ish window is every bit as mediocre as the 3:30 nap window. The good? Finally, a late nighter with some significance and watchability. Tennessee (-21.5) at South Cakalaky (7:00, ESPN) Finally, we get a MATTERS MOAR to preview. Vols are favoUred by way too many points this week. Then

World Cup Preview: South Koera

Game Time Decision - November 18, 2022November 18, 2022

Ssiball, why did I agree to creating a preview of a sport that I barely follow and for a country that I've never been to. I'm not sure either. The closest I'll ever get to there is a former co-worker is from there and I saw some of Seoul when

CFL Beat: Playoffs – Grey Cup

The Maestro - November 17, 2022November 16, 2022

It's the final weekend of CFL action. I'll miss Canadian football when it's done, of course - but I'm also immensely glad I won't have to wait as long for its return as I did between November 2019 and August 2021. We'll have one final recap after this one... and
