scotchnaut - August 18, 2024August 18, 2024150

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

Sunday Gravy with yeah right: Korean Style gochujang wings and Loaded Tots!

yeah right - August 18, 2024August 17, 202483

Good morning folks. To address the obvious I am in no way, shape or form bothered by the injury to the Vikings rookie QB. PERIOD. He was supposed to have a year or two off to develop and now he has the first year guaranteed off. Sit your ass over there and

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

A New Lesser Season Awaits

King Hippo - August 17, 2024August 16, 202460

Oh my cats, next week, I will even have a handful of JV NFL fixtures to write up. Our long national/international nightmare is over! FITBAW!!!! You might suspect Hippo is irritated that YET AGAIN the Redshite filth open with a newly-promoted minnow. Especially given that it is in a stand-alone window

Mr. Ayo - August 16, 2024August 16, 202482

TGIF! Lesser footy is back! Time to dig out your Hippo translator for the season. So long, MLB, I'll see you in the postseason if the 🔱 Ups! (Mariners) make it. I'd check in on them today but the game is on Apple TV+, so hard pass even though Olivia

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY Guest producer HUNTER RENFROW is seated in front of the soundboard, looking glum. DJ 3000 looks on with an appearance of concern as HUNTER listlessly toys with a few figurines. DJ 3000: HEY BUDDY, WHAT'S WRONG? STILL FEELING DOWN ABOUT RENFROCO? HUNTER RENFROW: Huh? Oh, no. We're in

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Spritz Surprise

Sharkbait - August 16, 2024August 16, 202441

Happy Friday! This week's drink is a little bit of an experiment. I've been eying making more spritzes for the summer since they go so well with basically everything this time of year. Plus, they can be low ABV so you can have a ton of them and still claim

Your Thursday Night Preseason Football Open Thread

scotchnaut - August 15, 2024August 15, 2024115

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)

The Maestro - August 15, 2024August 15, 202415

There’s been a lot of fiddle music in my life this past week out here in southern Nova Scotia. With just over a week to go before our wedding, we’ve been trying our best to relax before everything hits the fan all at once. At least there's always some football

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: We’ll Always Have Paris

Senor Weaselo - August 14, 2024August 14, 202464

Namely the memes, and the knowledge that if we knew of it, we too could have probably made the Australian breaking team. (Current controversy is whether she happened to be one of the few in the right place at the right time, and/or if she had an in, but it
