Lesser Footy to Ease the Suffering

King Hippo - January 21, 2017January 20, 2017

Day Two of living under the First Reich. Assuming we are not yet dead, here are the fixtures we shall use to kill off time until we are (and until Chelsea are inevitably crowned champions in May). Liverpool, newly knocked out of 2nd (huzzah!!) by Spurs on goal differential, will

Let's DO BETTER, shall we? Things kick off bright and early Saturday (7:30, NBCSN), with 3rd position Spurs hosting surprisingly pesky West Brom. The Albion (least imposing mascot EVAR ,, amirite??) sit in 8th, only 1 point behind Everton. Hopefully, the unbeaten form at White Hart Lane continues, because

Lesser Footy – A Raging Semi FOAR NYE!!

There are a smattering of Premiership games this morning, with Manure hosting 15th position Middlesbrough (10:00, NBCSN) getting feature treatment. Leicester/West Ham and Chelsea/Stoke are probably better options in the morning window, though. Consult your Extra Time listings. But the big action (Euro-speaking) today is at Anfield, where the

Does your College Bowl "Confidence Pool" count the "Heritage Bowl" between Grambling and NC Central? Mine fucking does. Raise your fists proudly and pretend like you had a fucking clue before you googled and googled until you found a sportsbook with odds on this sumbitch. But first, we have

Sometimes, I really have a hard time getting out of bed, even with a full day of footy lying ahead. It is very easy to be as cynical about footy as it is life in general. Then, you read an article like this and boom, one falls in

You can take the states of Meeeechigan and Ohio and use them exclusively for nuclear waste storage for all I care. Oh, and I guess to hold the collective ESPN commentator ejaculate. Anyway, Burnley host Man City to kick your Saturday off. You can watch while pretending to have

Everything still sucks out loud and should be set on fire. It will all be ablaze soon enough, and Lesser Footy exists to hopefully help distract you at least a little bit until it happens. The early Saturday fixture (7:30, NBCSN)is strong and assy, with 6th position Manure hosting 4th

Fuck it, I am lazy and depressive by nature. My Lesser Footy sides have ass kickings coming their way, too. We get a rare 5/5 Saturday/Sunday split with the EPL coverage, and no Saturday early game. WEIRD. Be warned, another hideous international break is on the horizon.

Oh yeah, we is going full 80s cheese mode to illustrate the Man City/Arseholes/Shite three way currently in progress, with Chelski and Spurs jacking it just a point back. That is some parity going on. Did you own this cassingle? If not this, then which? I had several

IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THIS, PEP! 1 point out of a possible 6? Drawing at home to fucking Everton (no ofence)? But alas, here we are. Still in first, but only by a slender goal over Arsenal, with Spurs 1 point back in third. Almost

You want, nay, DEMAND wake until passout Lesser Footy...and by gum, you gets it today. Sometimes the breakfast fixture is worth skipping, but Chelski hosting Leicester (7:30 EST, NBCSN) is a solid opener, especially after such a long starvation diet. Our defending champion Foxes need to string some wins together

Yes, this statement is certainly true if Lamar! (pictured above) runs train on Clemson, as he did on FSU. Otherwise, it may be a complex series of tiebreakers. Anyway, let's take thins in loose order. It's bad enough this post already misses Everton in Friday Night Footy
