1 April Lesser and JV Hardwood Thread

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,

The Prem Before the Break Lesser Footy Saturday

Next week, while I am traveling (I know, not looking forward to that experience whatsoever) Hippo will miss the last international break of 2022-23. Which is to say, hooray for me. All things considered, a reasonable slate of fixtures. Because of misaligned DST, we start later than usual (8:30, USA) with

BattleBots Beat: Gibson’s Law

Welcome back to the Beat! Well, last week we got the fight that I'm pencilling in as Letdown of the Year. May we get the true hammer-saw battle someday soon. We get something entirely different to start here. To the fights! Riptide vs. Captain ShrederatorRiptide: 2-0 (W, KO 0:47 vs. Glitch;

Brackets and Madness and Watching TV While Working – The DFO NCAA Basketball Tourney Preview

SonOfSpam - March 15, 2023March 15, 2023

We've reached The Ides of March, which can only mean one thing: Time to stab your local emperor! If you don't have an emperor, then I guess you can fill out an NCAA Basketball bracket instead. Every March, the top 64 or 68 or whatever teams meet in a single-elimination
