Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Your Türkiye Euro 24 Preview

Yeah, I figure I should probably do that before the Euros start. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnyBJJI2eqs This has once again been Senor Weaselo's preview of the Turkish lesser footy team. Naturally, I'll be rooting for Portugal, Czechia, and Georgia in that group. Okay, news! -500s extend WR Nico Collins, 3 years, $72.75M, $52M guaranteed. -Vikes re-sign G Dalton

Wumbo Wednesday: TWIFY 2—Own Team Edition!

I was really looking forward to an LCS recap and Game 7 preview, because everyone knows that Game 7s are the best things in sports, unless your team is involved, then it's a monumental stress ball. But the only offense that came out of New York was the fans pelting noted

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: This October in F*** You (ALCS Edition!)

Ah yes, the matchup that most people care about but also absolutely despise, those fuckers vs. those cheating fuckers. "Hooray!" said almost nobody outside of New York and Texas. Considering it's their third ALCS meeting in the last six years (and fourth playoff meeting in the last eight), I guess you

A New Yorker’s Postmortem on This Election

Well, this election has come and gone and taken years off our life with its vitriol. Colbert was right, too much venom and it feels like we all ODed. By the last few weeks I just wanted it to be over and after I went and voted I sat in

Why the TV ratings are down and why it doesn’t matter because the NFL is dying

There have been many, and I mean MANY, articles out recently trying to explain the NFL ratings decline.  For the most part, I've heard about them from Twitter and from comments here.  Once I get to the article, I skim it to see what the author's underlying reason is.  Then,

DFO Euro 2016 Preview – Turkey

That's better.  That's...ow. That's starting to...OWWWW! Ow! Ah! My eye! Ow, this...yeah, I guess I was cutting jalapenos. But that was an hour ago. And I
