That's right, today we celebrate poles of all persuasions: beanpoles, foulpoles, magnetic poles, fishing poles, Warsaw Poles and even (shockingly) Ryan Poles. But not William de la Pole, you dumb late-medieval bastard. -First, the most surprising one: Ryan Poles. Rating a team's off-season during training camp is only slightly stupider than

Monday Night Open Thread – Soon, so soon

ArmedandHammered - August 5, 2024August 5, 2024

First off, only 2 more nights till Thursday Night Football (or a reasonable facsimile thereof) and soon we will be on to Monday Night Game Threads. Actually excited for the start of the season for some reason, maybe taking part in fantasy football is helping me regain interest, even if

Saturday Night Off-season Open Thread 23: Keep watching the Olympics!

ballsofsteelandfury - August 3, 2024August 3, 2024

I don't know about y'all, but I'm enjoying the SHIT out of these Olympics. My strategy has been to watch the replays on Peacock for particular sports and to watch the surfing live. All sports and no fluff with really minimal commercials. The only thing I've missed was Colin Jost

Half-Rear-Ended Fantasy FITBAW Roundtable

As DonT wisely noted, we are really in the FITBAW pre-season now. As such, why not throw some fantasy ideas onto the Clubhouse wall, see what sticks? I mean, it's probably a pretty worthless endeavoUr, but hey. At least we serve it up fairly priced. Who is your "value" QB target(s)? King

TGIF! What a doozy of a weekend it is here: Seafair! You've got boats, you've got the Blue Angels, you've got hydroplane boat races, you've got water, and you've got a sunburn! I'll enjoy watching it on TV. Survival - Personal Edition For all you parents out there, let's go over the

Before The Deluge: Your Pre-Season Thursday Night Football Open Thread

Yes, the Deluge. Is it a reference to Jackson Browne or was I riffing on a song/poem by Arthur Rimbaud who was probably referencing something (the Flood?) in the Bible? Come for the dickjokery, stay for some oblique crap. But yes, I was thinking that we get a wee taste

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

By the time you read this, the 2024 MLB Trade Deadline will have come and gone. Despite writing this ahead of time, I will use my prophetic powers to make the following predictions: A bunch of guys with ugly-ass chin hair will be traded. At least one of those guys

Evening. This will be short, ugly, and unfulfilling much like my first wedding night. Back home, rabbits are alive and were well cared for by the sitters, still have some sort of respiratory infection that the tests insist is not nuAIDs (and yes, I did wear a mask while in

Saturday Night Off-season Open Thread 22: Watch the Olympics!

ballsofsteelandfury - July 27, 2024July 26, 2024

Seriously, if you're not excited about the Olympics, I feel bad for you! I am an unapologetic Olympics whore. During the workweek, I was watching the women's handball competition. Was I doing it to avoid work or because I love the Olympics so much that I'll watch any random event?
