BattleBots Beat: The Phil Rizzuto

Senor Weaselo - March 3, 2022March 3, 2022

Welcome back to the Beat! This week, I, how do I say this… like Phil Rizzuto's famous "WW" calls, I wasn't watching. I had a gig. I know what you're thinking. "Senor, couldn't you have had Rikki do this week, or watched on Discovery+?" To the first, yes, but I

Today's edition is going to be a little different. I haven't had time to fully write out the AFL Beat and there are games tonight, so everything is in a bit of flux. In addition, there's been a little something going on in Central Europe that has taken

BattleBots Beat: BAH GAWD

Senor Weaselo - February 24, 2022February 24, 2022

Welcome back to the Beat! Last week, we had Will Bales gushing about how he had all the Diesector toys growing up, because Donald Hutson was the man. Well guess what? Now he's got a toy of his very own robot! I am definitely interested in getting myself an RC

Dear sweet heavenly Jeebus, all the results went against me today. I even told Litre to bet the house on Saints at the half...and forgot to follow my own advice. So, I am tilted in addition to the rage. Six MOAR months until we get so much as pre-season exhibitions. How

Sexy Friday/AFL Beat! AFLW Round 6

ballsofsteelandfury - February 18, 2022February 17, 2022

This week, the lights went out in California (more specifically, a one square mile block where my house happens to be in), so I was not able to get the Beat out. Therefore, here we go! Apologies as one game has already been played. Actually, make that two games.

Listen, I didn't have a clever title. Welcome back to the Beat! Where, like other sports in February, the bots and teams punching in tournament tickets early could be the ones to watch. Once again, we come in with another set of fights from last week, and minor controversies. Onto the

BattleBots Beat: Let It Rip!

Senor Weaselo - February 10, 2022February 9, 2022

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out we had a pair of stuck bots come back from seemingly the brink, a pair of curbstompings, and a pair of bots being knocked out at the same time. Will this week be any more ridiculous? I'm gonna say yes, but for

AFL Beat! AFLW Round 5

ballsofsteelandfury - February 9, 2022February 8, 2022

This week, there was more havoc caused by COVID on the schedule as another set of games were canceled and some makeup games were played. For now, though, it seems there is some normality coming. We'll see how long it lasts. Welcome to Balls of Steel's AFL Beat! Let's get right

BattleBots Beat: Unsticky Situations

Senor Weaselo - February 3, 2022February 2, 2022

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out, HyperShock actually friggin' worked in its first fight, P1 scored a big upset, and Copperhead outlasted Lock-Jaw. What somewhat ridiculous stuff is inevitably in store this week? Well, let's fight out. Onto the fights! Malice vs. JackpotMalice: 0-1 (L, JD 3-0 vs. Tantrum)Jackpot:
