I had two more macro observations on the EPL season. First, if'n you take a gander at the table, everyone is right where a purist would say they should be. That is, nobody is higher in the table than a side with a better goal differential. I

Pictured is Ronald Koeman, in a rare smiling pose. Despite being unbeaten on the young season (with three wins on the bounce, after humiliating David Moyes on Monday Night Footy with some help from Big Rom), Big Ron is something of a perfectionist, always urging his players to strive

Fuck you, you KNOW you can/will/do always take an extra helping. /before writing this, set my DVR for Syracuse/Maryland Friday Night ACC craptacular, to give myself something to "look forward to" when I get back from my daughter's cross country event.

EPL Tigers By the Tail? (plus MOAR Litre_Cola Previewing)

King Hippo - August 27, 2016August 26, 2016

Week Three is here, and only four teams remain perfect at the top. City, United, Chelski...and HULL. Perhaps the most dysfunctional side in all of the Premiership, with barely enough healthy bodies to just play. It's rare that a two-game winning streak is any sort of incredible

EPL Week Two – Prepare to Embrace the Suck (and Special Litre_Cola Flavoured Treat!)

King Hippo - August 20, 2016August 19, 2016

Yeah, like everyone predicted...week one revealed all the assholes with money to be good. The only real surprise was dreadful Hull winning at Leicester, which just means there won't be the slightest bit of drama regarding the Foxes coming good in their second act. FYI - seeding in

Welcome to the (Barely Televised) New EPL Season!

King Hippo - August 13, 2016August 12, 2016

As you know, our friends at Foxy Footy hoisted the trophy last season. Without exception, every single media outlet and independent prognosticator (that I have come across, anyway) sees a season of retrenchment at hand. In short...a return to dull normalcy with the heavy hitters dominating at the

Hey. I'm Fronkenshteen. I found the old place when Deadspin linked to a KSK post. It may have been an NFL Dance Party gif spectacular, but I can't quite remember. I happened to be on KSK the day everyone posted their goodbyes and left, and quickly followed you guys over

Look, there's no sports that matter tonight, except for the start of the Copa America. (Sorry #BFIB) Hockey resumes on Saturday in San Jose - 8:00; party at Covalent's! breakfast at Sunrisesunrise's! - and hoops resumes on Sunday. And, honestly, I'm kinda bankrupt on ideas today - intellectually, as well as

Huzzah FOAR Foxy Footy, your 2015-16 English Premier League champions!! Thanks to Chelski rallying from a 2-nil halftime deficit to draw Spurs, the title race is over. So...now what? FUCKALL. That's what. There's the race to the bottom, but annoyingly enough, the Barcodes have by far the easiest schedule and thusly

As an Evertonian, I'm up early today mostly to boo. Plus I have to wake up kids and drive them around for various school-related shit. Parenting is hard, even half-assed single Dad parenting. Yes, our dear friends at Leicester City only need 3 points out of 9 (or Spurs

A soul-crushing performance at The Stadium of Light (cool name, bruh) brings our Foxy Footy palz right to the doorstop. They didn't even need any help from Manure, which is good, cause they sure as fuck didn't get any. The lead is 7 points with 5 games to
