Sorry Coach Reid - I know you read that as Beloved Parm. Today will be interesting, as I leave my recluse lair around halftime of my Wolves du Merde (Derby with Scotchy's l'Orange) fixture (that's at 4:00 on ACCN, it deserves no preview). I am off to see oldest HippoSpawn do

Look, I have given up on human society. It just gets worse by the day. Retreat into the only consistently (well, mostly consistent) good thing in life, sportsball! I also heard the best cover ever on the radio this week, just edging out my previous shempion ("Mrs. Robinson" by The

Ain't it grand? International bullshit is over (but NOT MANDATORY London NFL WOO!!!!), and there is no reason to leave your couch/recliner except to piss and/or re-caffeinate. Let us begin. Are you waking/baking early to watch the goddamned fuckass Redshite beat up on our poor Moose Hornets (7:30, Peacock)? Don't be that

Good morning, everyone. Are y'all enjoying the (very occasional) chill in the air? Ah sure is. Sadly, we have another dumb international break on tap, so savoUr the full slate while y'all can. The morning starts early (7:30, NBCSN), with uber-short handed Everton headed to Old Trafford to have their shit

Is everybody enjoying the slow transition to Fall weather? I know I sure am. Heat and being a fat fuck don't go together too well. But sitting around watching glorious footy? That's a bingo. How weird is this? Both Manchester teams in the "up with the roosters slot." The marquee being

Are you ready to watch a shit ton of FITBAW? Think of it as kegel exercises, warming up for RedZone Week 2. You may not WANT to wake up for Wolves and Bees (NBCSN, 7:30), but if you think about it, tis a pretty interesting animal battle. Is a Wolf dog-ish

Guten morgen, y'all. I hope Santa brought everyone what they wanted this year. 20 years is apparently the fuckloads of leftover Murrikan high-tech weaponry aanniversary. NEVAR stop learnin!

Supporters across the Premiership anxiously wait, as deadline day (1 Sept) approaches. For some, it's wondering if Santa will arrive and/or how much cool new shit they get. For others (cough, cough, Everton) it's praying The Grinch doesn't take away everything. Including the will to live. But first, we got fixtures

Perhaps the most delightful aspect of the 2021-22 season (so far, anyway) is the return of a favoUrite meme. And our beloved Moose Hornets tango with the Trashbirds, on national teevee (12:30, NBC). That is, no doubt, today's must see. Don't wake up to watch the braying Redshite fuckwits, as their
