Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 5, 2024 Season

Reflections

King Hippo - October 7, 2024October 6, 202460

Across the pond we go, for the first 14-hour MANDATORIUM in the Clubhouse. That means we started our FITBAW day with the sour grimace of Q-aron. After a fairly hot start (including, but not limited to, drawing eleventy-billion DPI calls on medium-to-deep tosses to Justin Jefferson), Touch of Downs seemed to succomb

Your Sunday Night NFL Football Open Thread

We made it! Maybe I did too! That's a long day to put in. I think Lynn Swann's amazing catch in the Super Bowl was the first NFL play that I can recall. I didn't see it live but it was shown a great deal because it was stunning for the

Another Round of Games? You Bet!

scotchnaut - October 6, 2024October 6, 2024125

This train (of thought) keeps on rolling. To The Games! Raiders/Broncs: What the fresh Hippo hell is this? Denver has lost eight straight games to Vegas? Vegas? How? The Raiders can't stop the run so Javonte may just be able to improve on his gawdawful 2.9 ypc number. If he can't Payton has

Your Second Round of NFL Games

As I write this the Jets are losing and Qaron is all shook up. Life's been good to me so far this Sunday! To The Games! Ravens/Bengals: Here's a stunner-Henry leads the league in rushing after four weeks. If he can avoid injury I don't see him relinquishing the lead the rest of

Your Early Morning London-Centric NFL Football Open Thread

scotchnaut - October 6, 2024224

Welcome friends to the Early Bird Special featuring...not bird teams. Let us know what you're drinking and snacking on as you watch this mammoth tilt. (whatever, it's more football and that can't be bad) I'm having a hot chocolate/coffee thing that is heavily laden with Irish cream and of course

5 October 2024 – a JV NFL Eveninging

King Hippo - October 5, 2024October 4, 2024149

Did you enjoy the early happenings? I sure nuff did. Or maybe I didn't. I am writing this Friday afternoon. Clemson (-14.5) at Florida State (7:00, ESPN) This could be interesting, if the Semenholes had a quartered back. But they don't even have the well-below-cromulent DJ Ukelele no MOAR. They's right fucked. Tennessee

A Week After the Storm – Footy Abundance Thread

King Hippo - October 5, 2024October 4, 2024146

Last week, we had the titanic clashes. King's Afrikan Water Pistols trying to hang onto an incredible win at City of Men - who were on what seemed to be the world's longest, dry power play. Somehow, they found the equalizer at the very death, but Arsenal still boast the momentum.

Sexy Friday – 20241004

Mr. Ayo - October 4, 2024October 4, 2024137

TGIF! Hopefully everyone's recovered from the adrenaline rush of last night's game. Gotta love the MLB playoffs! Survival - Personal Edition Let's make a cummerbund! This is if you forgot yours, don't own one, or somehow fouled yours up but the event requires one. Ascertain if you're at a white tie or

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Sling’n It

Sharkbait - October 4, 2024October 4, 202454

We made it once again to another Friday. I've had another super busy work week with more audits. At least this time, it's for a certification and there has been zero need to appear on camera for hours at a time. Though the effort gathering all the evidence still saps

DFOing Good

The Quest for 0-5 begins tonight! No, Jacksonville isn't playing-I'm talking about not getting a W yet again in both my fantasy leagues. Will my tight end get zero points? Will I forget to play a defense? Will my starting QB get injured in the first quarter? Will I keep

CFL Beat: Week 18

The Maestro - October 3, 2024October 2, 202415

With fall finally settling in and leaves changing colour, football weather - and the resplendent feelings of coziness - have finally settled in at last. This is now the third season of watching sports in my home, and I think the nesting skills have only improved with time. Perhaps it

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Hey, It’s October!

Senor Weaselo - October 2, 2024October 2, 202451

You know what that means! No, fuck your spooky season, and quadruple-venti-fuck your PSL season. (Cider season is better anyway, comparing apples to pumpkins.) It's ALL THE SPORTS season! Football is in full swing, now it's the baseball playoffs, the NHL season starts in Czechia on Friday and in North America on
