JV-Only Week Two Boogaloo

Sadly, our first shite International Break is upon us, so one can sleep in until noon (unless one has work to catch up on all weekend like I do, over footy but fucking still, UGH). A full Saturday before NFL Week 1 would have been superb, but alas. To the

BattleBots Beat: We Are the World, We Are the Fighting Robots

Senor Weaselo - September 6, 2018September 5, 2018

Welcome back to the Beat! Last time out, we had Tombstone and Bronco join Bite Force in the lofty realm of 4-0 robots. We had Warhead's longtime spinning dome break. The same dome that did this! (Fight starts at 3:45) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlOVmCvnE2g And that fight, due to the damage to Nightmare, led to

The Maestro - September 6, 2018September 6, 2018

School is back in session, and LaboUr Day has come and gone. We're now into the back nine of the CFL regular season, and, more importantly, the NFL is back TODAY. At long last!!! We now have football available on our TV screens every day from Thursday through Monday! That's

Yes indeed, tis that time once again. Cheerleaders to leer over, prospects to scout, GAMBLOR to hail. Let's get to the #ACTION! James Madison at NC State (Noon, ESPNU) How does a match like this garner national teevee coverage? Wolven QB Ryan Finley, soon to dominate Mel Kiper wet dreams, and leader

BattleBots Beat: 4-0 on the Floor

Senor Weaselo - August 30, 2018August 30, 2018

Welcome back to the Beat! This week, we have what Kenny Florian calls a "minefield of explosive robots." There are THREE robots currently sitting at 3-0, and at least one of them will go to 4-0, as Bronco and SawBlaze face off. We have the unstoppable force against the immovable

CFL Beat: Week 12

The Maestro - August 30, 2018August 27, 2018

September is almost upon us, which means I'll have to be going back to work soon. Allegedly. Still working on getting that body double stuff all sorted out, but apparently harnessing the power of lightning strikes in an abandoned castle laboratory is much trickier than anticipated. At any rate, at

Your Saturday Morning Lesser Footy Open Thread

litre_cola - August 25, 2018August 24, 2018

Hi there commentists I hope you're not too hungover today. Sadly, I will miss this week's action as I'll be driving 9 hours to a lakeside cabin in the mountains. That being said it's so smoky from the forest wildfires that we won't be able to see much. Also, I'm

BattleBots Beat: This Time, It’s Personal.

Senor Weaselo - August 23, 2018August 23, 2018

Good morning, and welcome back to the Beat! Last time, Chomp got outchomped, Tombstone had a tough but not that tough fight against Whiplash, and we got some clarity about who's in, who's out, and who's on that bubble. If this right here is Episode 13, then by my math there

CFL Beat: Week 11

The Maestro - August 23, 2018August 21, 2018

As we close in closer to the start of the NFL regular season, we'll start to see some roster shakeups happening in the weeks ahead, as offseason NFL signings get released out of training camp and return north of the border, often times to their former CFL teams. This is

This week, Welcome To Balls Of Steel’s AFL Beat! Round 22 Recaps and Highlights The Round started on Australian Friday Night with Essendon's last and only hope of staying in the finals picture: Beating Richmond at the MCG.
