In these Off-season Open Threads, I'll sum up the week that was, provide you with TMI-style information, and throw some random spaghetti at the wall and see if it sticks. Tonight is a bit different because I'm sticking my AFL season preview in this post instead of making it a separate

I just realized the last time I wrote about golf was back in September. A lot has happened since then. On that occasion, I wrote about the Senior Championship at my golf club which is open to anyone over 50. I ended up doing fairly well and scored some points

Welcome to a new series in which I take your post ideas and run with them. Today's topic: College Football Realignment. I am nothing if not a people pleaser.  Due to popular demand (yes, Blax is popular!), I am presenting you with my HOT TAEK on college football realignment. As I was prepping

Greetings, hola, guten tag, ni how, and yadda yadda. I swear the month of February exists only to mess with people's sense of time, space, and perception. 2024 is already six weeks old, we never really had winter in Yinzburgh, and I can't tell if the days are getting longer (sort

Seriously. T-Swift can'y even stand yet after post-Owl celebrations her and Travis have been doing, and it's friggin' Lent tomorrow. On Valentine's Day! Anyway, it's Mardi Gras tonight, so NAWLINS had to have been weirder than normal this past weekend/week. I'm grew up Catholic, and now generously describe myself as "lapsed" at

Last time, I presented to you the list of nominees along with my picks for the winners. It's time to find out how well I did. I don't want this post to be War and Peace long, so I'll simply recap my pick, announce the winner, and provide commentary and a

Do not worry. I am not treading on Horatio's turf. I do enough of that with my AVN Awards prediction post. You will get no insights into which player each team is picking beyond me telling you that the Commanders are getting yet another disappointing USC QB and the Steelers will

Turns out today is LITERALLY a Rainy Day here in LA. Who knew? As the fallout from yesterday's games is coming through, here are a few things to note: *** Jason Kelce is the better Kelce brother. He's a big adorable teddy bear, has a hot wife, and is incredibly funny. It's really

  Well... For the life of me, I still cannot piece together this season. We saw QB2s all the way to QB102, all of which were still better than Uncle Jack Pickett, Kissin' Tittay Truthbisket, and especially MILF Hunter Z. As always, our pugilist, law-talkin' aquatic mammal's write up about the weekend's

Hi everyone, It's your old pal Beerguy with another one of his tales of wonderment & whimsy. Now, it's no secret that I enjoy the professional graps. When I was a kid & my mom had to work on the weekend, my dad thought nothing of driving me across town and dumping
