Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 15, 2024 Season

Reflections

King Hippo - December 16, 2024December 15, 202491

Another week of cray-cray, let's get right into it! Ideal 7/5 window is marred by the raw sewage quality of those early seven. But as always, some entertainment to be found in odd corners of the FITBAW-verse. 500s/LOLfins was the one game with two decent teams and reasonable stakes. Did you know

Hey, Remember the Fail Mary? Week 15 SNF Thread

Don T - December 15, 2024113

It happened 12 years ago, September 24, 2012, Prime Time. Pack @ C-Hox, a clear interception was ruled as the game winning TD by the replacement refs... Momentuous occasion, we should’ve had ribs. After the game, Kissing Suzy Kolber almost broke (IIRC) and the NFL caved to the refs out on

Week 15 Late Afternoon Fixtures (2024)

Game Preview

King Hippo - December 15, 2024December 15, 2024207

DonT has passed me the baton, which I shall pass back for SNF. Apparently, this is "broadcaster experiment" week at The Shield, with both CBS and Fox putting on doubleheaders (so all kickoffs are 4:25, instead of the typical split with 4:05). What a time to be alive. Fat Humps (+4.5)

Early Window Sunday Sub Job

Don T - December 15, 2024December 15, 2024195

Buenos días. Your friendly neighboUrhood Scotchnaut caught a case of the Real Lifes and is indisposed for posting duties on this most blessed (and kinda hungover) Sunday, may Gamblor be unto you. Let me wish, for those who partake, a Happy Fantasy Football playoffs. Your 14 weeks of blind luck

Sunday Morning #Content

DFOing Good

Horatio Cornblower - December 15, 202441

Good morning, imaginary friends. It's 10:41 Best Coast time and the clubhouse is empty. Booooo. Look, living through the end of American democracy as well as what appears to be what is technically called "welp, guess that's about as far as capitalism can take us" is no reason to act all

Saturday Night De-Motivational – Doing the Percentages

King Hippo - December 14, 2024December 13, 2024122

Did you ever stop to think how much of life is absolute bullshit? Depending on my mood, I would say 95% to 98%. Cats and football are unequivocally good. Can't say that about almost anything else. And boy, this Saturday is a bleak reminder of the February still to come. Not

Saturday Opening Thread!

Mr. Ayo - December 14, 2024December 14, 2024161

Good morning everyone! We have a big day ahead of us, I was told! Your local Hippo took a day off and assigned me to this spot. Which was great, because I was going to recap the F1 season that just concluded last week. Unfortunately, I've fallen quite ill over this

Sexy Friday – 20241213

Mr. Ayo - December 13, 2024December 13, 2024105

TGIF! Is Friday the 13th no longer a thing? Or am I just out of touch? Maybe I'm just lucky and it doesn't apply to me. Survival - Personal Edition Let's discuss wine. Ok, wine bottles. Ok, more specifically, wine bottle corks. They're great! Until you're trying to open a bottle and

Sharkbait’s Cocktail of the Week: Cranberry Concoction

Sharkbait - December 13, 2024December 13, 202432

Happy weekend everyone! I'm still working through the abundance of cranberries I picked up for Thanksgiving dessert. Thankfully these little berries are fairly shelf stable and keep well when in the fridge for a long period of time. I don't want to let them go to waste so I wanted

Your Thursday Night NFL Football Open Thread

scotchnaut - December 12, 2024221

I'd just like to note in advance that life interrupts so others will be filling in this weekend. I have all the thank you's for those that step in. Welp, we're past all the bye weeks so my first round loss in Freezer Vodka has one less excuse. Damn it! Minutiae: -The Chiefs

WBALLS – Hippo Dedication!

ballsofsteelandfury - December 12, 2024December 12, 202441

That was the Dogg Pound right there on WBALLS, 187.4 on your FM dial. You're tuned in to the biggest Balls of them all, Balls of Steel and Fury. Don't forget coming up at the top of the hour is DJ BC Dick with the Jack Off Hour and later

Slumbo Wednesday With Not Weaselo – Substitutes Are The Worst (Except For That Who Song)

SonOfSpam - December 11, 2024December 11, 202455

Sadly, the usual Wednesday night auteur, Senor Weaselo The Stringplucker, had an emergecy pizzicato party to attend, so you're stuck with the non-union equivalent. Fear not! I shall endeavor to guide us through this Humpiest of Days with a menagerie of mindfarts and wordvomit that should sate even the most
