You Lookin’ FOAR a Hero – Just Watch (JV NFL) Week Zero

King Hippo - August 24, 2024August 23, 2024

I was thinking of the serendipity (word likely makes no sense in this context, but as you may know, I do a lot of drugs) of the football calendar. Last week, we get eased back in with EPL only. This week, we get the smattering of Week Zero games. Next

The Maestro - August 22, 2024August 21, 2024

My wedding's in two days. The chances of watching this week's slate of games is close to zero, but this is why push notifications for scores were invented. At least it's been a beautiful weather week here out east. I look forward to things calming down soon so I can

The Maestro - August 15, 2024August 15, 2024

There’s been a lot of fiddle music in my life this past week out here in southern Nova Scotia. With just over a week to go before our wedding, we’ve been trying our best to relax before everything hits the fan all at once. At least there's always some football

The Maestro - August 8, 2024August 6, 2024

Week one of vacation has been lovely as always. With the beautiful red sands of PEI so warm and friendly, we’ve made our way to beautiful Halifax to see family and buy hundreds of dollars worth of bulk liquor to get the wedding bar prepared. Sharkbait, I also have a

I'm leaving in just a few days for the East Coast for a whole month of vacation. I sure hope I'll be able to keep sneaking away for football watching - but that time difference, especially for watching those West Coast games, is killer - that 11 PM start time

Senor Weaselo - July 31, 2024July 31, 2024

So I can watch some team handball—Denmark vs. Argentina. Listen, Senorita Weaselo can watch all the swimming and gymnastics on the big-boy channel, but I remember what we played in gym class and I played a solid goalkeeper. (Denmark leads at the half.) I'd have more stuff, but the fantasy football

The Maestro - July 25, 2024July 23, 2024

I have just two days left of work this summer. If I can also get this stupid summer course knocked off soon, my vacation is then truly right around the corner. So, so close. If the weather holds, you'll probably catch me back for the second week in a row
