CFL Beat: Week 18

The Maestro - October 5, 2023October 4, 2023

With four weeks left in the regular season, there's still a final playoff spot up for grabs. Will it be the Saskatchewan Roughriders? Probably. Will it be the Stampeders or Elks? Almost definitely not. Will it be the Ottawa REDBLACKS making history and earning the CFL's first-ever East to West

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: RAINPOCALYPSE ’23

Senor Weaselo - October 4, 2023October 4, 2023

If you hadn't heard, it rained last weekend in the city. And the entire East Coast. I guess Project Arcturus is finally up and running, though the Queensboro Bridge is still upright. (Nobody calls it by its current official name, the Ed Koch Bridge. You know who else wouldn't call

Enjoy your nap? GOOD. Because it's time to up our couch potato game, yo. Ballsy: I'm back! At first, I was going to complain about the distinct lack of West/Best Coast games in Hippo's write-up, but then I realized that there aren't any. Seriously, it's Washington-Arizona and that will be over by

September is such a beautiful time of year, and not just for the "windows down" time in the car. That does make the outside world a teenier bit MOAR bearable, though. Also! We get a proper Saturday morning of footy, with Villa hosting the Trashbirds early (7:30, USA). I can't promise

The Maestro - September 28, 2023September 27, 2023

With five weeks to go in the regular season, we have half of our playoff spots still up for grabs right now. While the third seeds may possibly get shuffled around, the biggest remaining question at this point in the year is to see which of two very good teams

Technically, it was still summer before. And summer can get right fucked. It's not all rainbows and sunshine, as we get NO early morning fixture. GUH. Only three in the 10:00 window, as we go "Sunday heavy" this week, with some "name teams" in Zooropa. City of Men hosting Robins Hood

When we last left off in recapping my sporting adventures in Oz, I had followed up BOTGs for GWS vs Sydney and RSA vs NED with another Women's World Cup match and my first ever trip to the MCG. Which leaves (checks notes) another WWC match and one last AFL

The Maestro - September 21, 2023September 20, 2023

The fall is now officially here. The leaves start to turn, the plaid shirts are out, and the den is fully kitted out for just lying underneath a couple of blankets to watch football all weekend long. I know that your basic fall girls enjoy the season for different reasons

Did you miss the Premiership last weekend? Of course you did. Even with NFL back on the schedule, one needs sommet to do with one's mornings. Obviously, sleeping in is much preferred to the filthy Redshite beating up on Wolves (7:30, USA). But some of y'all heathens will watch anyway. 10:00 window

The Maestro - September 14, 2023September 13, 2023

September may honestly be the perfect month. With the back-to-school routine now established and with football Sundays in session, I can also now fill out my Fridays and Saturdays perfectly. Some people tell me the weekend weather is beautiful, but as all good football fans know, I have no idea
