Reflections

King Hippo - December 1, 2025November 30, 202535

Welcome to The Shield's food coma weekend, where we all groan in sweatpants-clad regret. A good portion of the competent (and even cromulent) squadrons played on Thursday or Friday. Here's the poo-poo platter of what is left over. Black Panthers show promise, Black Panthers shit themselves, we all give up on them

The Last Dance But It’s Football On Sunday Night

The train is pulling into the metaphorical station. The last stop is Washington. Let's take a look. To The Game! Broncos/Commies: -Unlucky Number?: I don't want to spook you but Mariota has thrown for exactly 213 yards in each of his last three starts, all losses. -He was the #2 pick in the draft

More Of Same? You Got It!

I've been advised to tell you that there are more games in store. Let's dig in. To The Games! Vikes/Seahawks: He processes at a two, three year vet level, is what Minny coach McConnell says of Max Brosmer, today's starter. He was a preseason darling/surprise and today he gets his chance to shine.

The Early Slate: Is There Any Meat On This Bone?

Or are we getting tough, chewy sinew? We've got four games under our belt featuring more than a few primo teams so let's check into the detritus. To The Games! Niners/Browns: Might we have another snow game? At the very least it should be blowy and not in a good way. Judkins leads

29 Nov 2025 JV NFL Night Thread

King Hippo - November 29, 2025November 29, 2025119

Time to put a bow around this thingamabob. Let's dive right in. Niiiiiiiiiiiicccccce Beaver (+13.5) at Washington State (6:30, CW) Don't laugh, this in-season re-match is for the 2-PAC Title! Somehow, Wazzu even makes a bowl if they win. Hoping for fun weather, at least. Castrated Turkeys (+8.5) at Wahoowa (7:00, ESPN) Surely, UVA

Last Jam-Packed Sportsball Sabado del 2025

King Hippo - November 29, 2025November 28, 2025137

Yes, I am already maudlin in advance. But let's keep a stiff upper lip and whatnot, There is no early bird special, and I'd recommend Black Cats/Cherries (Peacock) over Bees/White Lives Matter (USA) at 10. You then gets a reasonable afternoon USA doubleheader, with Toffees/Geordie Arabia (12:30), followed by Mighty Whitey

Mr. Ayo - November 28, 2025November 28, 202550

TGIF! Hope everyone is recovering nicely from their food comas. I'm somehow still hungover, but drinking through it all. Word Count Filler Time Let's talk foreign languages. Specifically, we're talking the most difficult to translate words. Klloshar (Albanian): The closest meaning for this word is loser. Like #ThePauls. Pochemuchka (Russian): This describes a person who asks

Afternoon Delight On A Friday? Don’t Mind If I do!

Where did you go, Starland Vocal Band? Hey, have you made a turkey club sandy yet? What are you waiting for? Let me know what you like to do with the leftovers aside from pop them in the micro. (at this time we'll not be taking any submissions that revolve

Sharkbaits Cocktail of the Week: Black Friday Void

Sharkbait - November 28, 2025November 27, 202553

Happy Black Friday! This is a touch embarrassing but I've got nothing this week. That's right. I had ONE JOB and failed miserably at it. Just kidding...ish. I really didn't have any planned here. I got so focused on hosting Thanksgiving at FOB: Cape Cod, and prepping for an upcoming work

Little Drummer Boy Challenge 2025

BallsofLacrosseAndMapleSyrup - November 28, 2025November 27, 202518

Hey all, as some of you know, we do the "Little Drummer Boy" challenge each year. It's really simple, if you hear the "Little Drummer Boy" song between Black Friday (Nov 28 at 12:01 AM in whatever time zone your in) and Christmas Eve ( Dec 24 at 12:01 AM)
