*Your weather may vary. I do love the Harris' campaign throwing Trump and his acolytes off-balance. The latter were not even remotely prepared for this approach. No sense lollygagging like Blax-let's get into a few observations about yesterday's action. -That Carolina/Buffalo game was pretty interesting given what it was. Frank Gore Jr, son

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

Ding Dong, Aaron Donald Is Gone (2024 RAMMITT Preview)

Darkest Timeline Zack Morris - August 19, 2024

It’s finally happened. After threatening to retire for what seems like every offseason of his career, Aaron Donald, the most terrifying defensive lineman in recent history, has fucked off to do whatever enormous rich people do when they retire. The Rams are about to find out what happens when they

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

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)

As the morning fog lifts we are able to see a building with a strange figure knocking at a solitary door. From inside a voice is heard asking "Who are you? What do you want?" The figure outside speaks from a different plane in reality and says “You have to invite me in” From

I apologize in advance for the litany of "Pickett's charge" memes we may be exposed to going forward. This isn't to say PICKETT'S GAHNTA SUPERBOWL all UrinatingTree style.

In these, the dog days of the bowling season, there isn’t much excitement floating around the lanes. Just wet feet and spilt beer mixed with fried dough and the pungent tang of one old lady’s A535. At least I hope that’s what’s emitting such a stench. To keep the mind

Today I have a tale of minimal importance. No, that’s not right. There is no import to speak of here. Certainly not the beer. $8 at least for an American “pint” they make on-site. It’s almost criminal. I digress. My first year of league bowling started last week at the finest

One entertaining facet of our new 3-game scrimmage schedule - some teams treat this as a dress rehearsal (nods in Grumblelord), while others could not MOAR plainly just give zero fucks (HAI, Donks WOO!!!). I have not followed any of tonight's foursome enough to predict usage patterns, but let's talk
