ballsofsteelandfury - January 2, 2023December 30, 2022

I was inspired by Brick's image that he posted on Sexy Friday and which is now the banner picture for this post. Instead of doing the New Year Resolutions post like I've done in previous years, I've decided to switch up the format and document my 2023 goal of getting

Welcome to the dregs of 2022. Per tradition, Hippo will purposefully fall asleep before any countdown activity, unless the footy stays interesting, Lord knows it will need to outclass Meeechigan pantsing the Bloodeyes earlier. UPDATE - Hippo predicts future not so goodly. To the game! Georgia (-5) v. tOhio State -

Do we gots some Lesser Footy and JV NFL? By gum we sure does! Very Disappointing Everton desperately need United to open a can of whoopass on Wolves (7:30, USA), so it won't happen. But they are a fun watch (I will reluctantly admit), now that they've cast Ronaldo off the island.

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Your 2022 Marble League Rolldown Breakdown

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

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

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

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
