The 2024 National Football Lee League Year starts today at 3:00 PM Central, at which time the Ravens will formally sign Derrick Henry. Baltimore does have a Titan Turncoat bent, having signed Eddie George and Steve McNair way back then. I did celebrate, a lot, when George and McNair did not

Your Thursday “Asleep-At-the-Switch” Carpenter Thread

WCS - December 14, 2023December 14, 2023

Ahoy-yoy! I realized I never did a Stillers bye week report, but who cares. They're 7-6, will never beat the Patriots in any meaningful way, the offensive is broken to hell, and are somehow in currenth #6th seed. Tomlin Voodoo is real, ya'll. Just accept this. This season has been so

On January 2, 1994, the Houston Oilers were leading the Jets 14-0 near the end of the first half. Houston QB Cody Carlson “fumbled at his own 18-yard line with 24 seconds on the clock.” So, obviously, Oiler defensive coordinator Buddy Ryan punched Oiler offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride.

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

Balls Influences – Writing

I grew up in Southern California. The 80s and 90s were a glorious time to live in Los Angeles. Hell, every decade has been a great time to live here, but, in particular, those years were specially great because of the music, sports, and culture going on around L.A.

Trust me, you do NOT want to see the other images I considered for this post. This will be my weekly outlook as to who will make the playoffs, who won't, who will win, and who won't. Essentially, it will be an exercise in pissing Hippo and Moose off. TO THE STANDINGS! AFC What about

As we get closer to stuffing ourselves with turkey and three football games on Thursday, it's time to once again take a look at how things look on the Best Coast of the Best Coast. Only San Diego has warmer ocean water, but our beaches are undoubtedly better. Need more proof? But
