CFL Beat: Week 14

The Maestro - September 8, 2022September 8, 2022

School is back, and I'm still in denial about it. At least we have football of all stripes to entertain ourselves with in the meantime! There are always worse things. In league news this week: The Saskatchewan Roughriders have finally released controversial defensive lineman Garrett Marino after - you guessed it

Everyone holding up on the sensory overload so far? GOOD, for they's is plenty MOAR.... Team Secular Big Love (-3) at Florida (7:00, ESPN) Wow, that's some Mad Vegas RESPEK for Kyle Whittingham's Utes. Then again, I think he is the best pure gameday coach in the business, at least outside of

JV Saturday Thread teh Firstest

King Hippo - September 3, 2022September 3, 2022

There's a fuckton of action (AND narrative!!) later tonight, so that will get its own thread. But don't neglect the hors d'oeveres! NC State (-11.5) at East Carolina (Noon, ESPN) NC State should never, ever play these hillbilly Deliverance extras. ESPECIALLY in Satan's taint (aka Greenville, North Cakalaky). But, because our "leadership"

Is everybody ready for some NIL-fueled FITBAW?? I fuckin' thought so. West By God Virginia (+7.5) at Pittsburgh (7:00, ESPN) A great (read: hate-filled) rivalry gets re-ignited. Suffer along with WCS, not sure anyone in the Clubhouse has positive fee-fees for JV Yinzers? Anyway, this is way too many points. Fuckers du

BattleBots Beat: The Zodiac Killer

Senor Weaselo - September 1, 2022August 31, 2022

Not Ted Cruz. Welcome back to the Champions Beat! Where the hunters are 3-0 against the hunted after Glitch managed to get Rotator to shear its own bottom plate off. It means there are two slots left to be claimed for the Golden Bolt tournament. Up for grabs? The bounty belonging

CFL Beat: Week 13

The Maestro - September 1, 2022August 31, 2022

Well, I might be back to work this week after what feels like an all-too-short summer break for me - but at least I can head into the school year knowing that we have the joy that is Labour Day weekend to look forward to in Canadian football. As most

I've told y'all before, but I've never been more certain - Very Disappointing Everton will be Very Championship Everton in 2023-24. Neal Goddamned Maupay. Jesus wept, and then took Mr. RazoUr Blade down the tracks. No, we don't go for attention around these parts. Anyway, this is a real banger of a tune: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqN9flclRio In

BattleBots Beat: The Palindromic Powerhouse

Senor Weaselo - August 25, 2022August 25, 2022

Welcome back to the Beat, Shempions edition! Where we've gotta say, like last year, it hasn't been a good start for the bounty bots, or legends, or gatekeepers, or whatever you want to call them. But the next of them knows a thing or two about turning around bad starts,

CFL Beat: Week 12

The Maestro - August 25, 2022August 24, 2022

As we draw near to the end of August, many of us prepare for the start of the NFL season and the school year ahead. Both are exciting - particularly if you're me - but we have to remember that the CFL has always been excellent at providing entertainment over

Prem Heating Up – Saturday Open Thread

King Hippo - August 20, 2022August 19, 2022

Even beyond the deliciousness of Men Untied and the Redshite entering their Up Own Rectums Derby having secured a total of 2 points from a possible 12 - the League is full of storylines, even by its own standards. I get the sense we will have a very entertaining season of

BattleBots Beat: The Mutant Scion

Senor Weaselo - August 18, 2022August 18, 2022

Welcome back to the Beat! We forge ahead with the Shempions portion of our program with a second helping. This week's bounty to be hunted, or what they're calling the gatekeeper, is Lock-Jaw. In terms of the history of combat robotics, Donald Hutson's name would be littered across the book. Tazbot,

CFL Beat: Week 11

The Maestro - August 18, 2022August 17, 2022

We're officially halfway through the CFL regular season! With the back half of the year loaded up with divisional games, especially in the East Division, I expect we'll see a little more parity in final records across the league - but after ten weeks of games, there's little doubt in
