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

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

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: News, Notes, and Newsy Notes, Olympic Edition

Senor Weaselo - August 7, 2024August 7, 2024

Senor Weaselo, this title sucks, is everything fine? Yes, except, again, the FF name guide just needs to be out before the end of the month. Today's the 7th, the DFO leagues (both?) draft(s?)—okay, at least the freezer vodka league draft is in three weeks, so I got time. (If

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Hey, My Cable Sign-In Works!

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

We're about 14 months away from the 2024 Olympics in Paris. For me, this means the hype train is well underway. The only thing above football in the world of sports for me is the Olympics, and I can't get enough of the narratives that build and break around the

Sweet mother of god, it’s Tuesday already. The never ending holiday of angry traffic and wet socks took place over what seemed like a 13 day week. Then the “new year” and my own birth anniversary a week later. There’s more birthdays next week and then the flower holiday and

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

A modest proposal for the 2028 LA Olympics

ballsofsteelandfury - December 3, 2021December 2, 2021

As many of you know, I was born in México. La Ciudad de México, to be exact. That translates literally to "The City of México" but if you really want to understand México and the relationship between its capital and the rest of the country, you should

I've decided to switch up the format of Sexy Friday a little bit. Change is good. Go with me here. One reason is that I've found that I need a space to put some stuff out there that doesn't fall into the traditional post categories. I've done serials with tWBS,

Sexy Friday, Almost the end of the Olympics edition!

I've greatly enjoyed the Olympics. I think I've enjoyed them more because the coverage is more focused on the action itself instead of all the hoopla around it. I haven't seen one story about sex in the Olympic Village and I'm really happy about that. Which brings me

Nature Abhors a Vacuum: Tuesday Evening Open Thread Edition

The Right Reverend Electric Mayhem - August 3, 2021August 3, 2021

Tuesdays suck. Summer Tuesdays suck more, because it stays light out FOREVER, making Wednesday seem all the more distant. But God forbid you do something fun, because you have three more days of adulting you have to get through. Going to a 4 weekday-3 weekend system would boost the GDP
