Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Bare Minimum

Sharkbait - August 23, 2024August 22, 2024

Happy Friday and boy do I need it. I've been running point on a client audit of my company all week. That entails being on calls (and camera) from 7:30am until 330ish. Then doing more evidence gathering after the day's calls are done. Suffice to say I'm beat. What does

Hey, it's the last one. How about that? A few weeks from now things get real. (Giants fan shudders) Let's see what's going on around the league, shall we? -Hippo's heart fluttered and for once it wasn't a side effect of his 'medication'. Yes, the Bo Nix era has begun. Apparently

We have two games later so plop your thoughts down here while we wait. Speaking of, I've watched the highlights and looked at the box scores for the games yesterday and here's a few observations which don't mean much at all. Caleb Williams: He looked half-decent in limited play. The two times

Well look at you over there bored out of your skull/day-drinking or what have you. Thanks for dropping by! There's a heavy amount of tilts because, of course, the sked is featuring two games tomorrow night at the same freaking time! But as noted on Thursday this is our first

TGIF! Lesser footy is back! Time to dig out your Hippo translator for the season. So long, MLB, I'll see you in the postseason if the 🔱 Ups! (Mariners) make it. I'd check in on them today but the game is on Apple TV+, so hard pass even though Olivia

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Spritz Surprise

Sharkbait - August 16, 2024August 16, 2024

Happy Friday! This week's drink is a little bit of an experiment. I've been eying making more spritzes for the summer since they go so well with basically everything this time of year. Plus, they can be low ABV so you can have a ton of them and still claim

Let's get at it. Exiling McCarthy: To the sidelines, that is. Oh Minny, you had it all figured out. You weren't going to give Cousins that second contract at his age and after that injury. You found an adequate bridge QB (that bridge being as short as a few weeks, perhaps longer)

We got our first fill of an actual slate yesterday. Thanks to many of you for filling out our Champions League league! And also to Blax and Don T. for joining MATH HARD! So is anyone willing to take a flyer on a rookie qb given the success that Stroud

TGIF! When one door closes (Olympics ending) another opens (NFL is back). That's great scheduling hustle by the sports world. Also, only 60 more days until I can once again Release The Kraken! Not to brag, but this is my 100th Sexy Friday post! I'm currently accepting applications for apprentices to

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: MOAR Olympics

Sharkbait - August 9, 2024August 9, 2024

Happy Olympics Friday! I know I've mentioned it in the comments before, but I'm a huge Olympics junkie. Not just for the sporting aspect, although that is a huge part. I do come by my Olympics obsession honestly. My father used to work for NBC sports, so when I was

Nobody wants to watch both of these games in their entirety but that's not the point. The point is that any time I can take a shot at the ad wizards that run scheduling, I will do so. To The Games! Panteros/Pats: -this in theory would be sorta interesting to watch mid-way thru
