Still Reveling In Post-Derby Bliss

Jurgen Klopp is a whingy baby-man, and his tears bring joy to the masses. I may never live to see another day that blissful, so I'mma wallow like a pig in shit. But, time marches on. We have a straight quadrupleheader today, so let's dig in. First, Fronk's Hammers invade the Etihad

Look, I know I will watch. But even with the Shite in direst of form...there's no fucking hope. Just hate. So very much hate. My prediction is for 1-nil on a late Salah tally. Because that is what would hurt the most. Anyway, tis the Spotlight Dance, fuck it all (12:30, NBC). Free-falling

The fixtures continue to roll, fast and furious. You get straight-up quadruple-headers today and Sunday, and a double dip on Monday. Very nice for the TV viewer. We start things with a battle for 3rd position, incumbent Foxes taking on the delightfully free-falling Redshite (7:30, NBCSN). Like all good-hearted folk, I

Good day, y'all. YES, as a matter of fact, I do still plan to boycott the Superb Owl. Thank God I am a Lesser enthusiast, as we get a full, bona fide near-quintupleheader today (and a quaddie tomorrow). Good matchups, too. Damn, I originally read the schedule as FIVE full time

We are closing out January 2021 this weekand, and nothing in the Premiership is certain. Ole Gunnar's Devils looked to have all the momentum...until they lost at home to (still) Ded Fookin' Last Team Knifey midweek. At home, no less. Now, Pep's City are back on top, with a game in

Just. Fuck's sake. Start the new year with a home loss to David Moyes. Fuck everything. Anyway, the show must go on. Bielsa against Mourinho will make for quite the contrast in style/philosophy (7:30, NBCSN). Not setting my alarm, but as an old...I know I will be awake for it. Go

Because moneys speak louder than public health (and thank FUCK for that, amirite??), we finally have sommet like a full Saturday slate. Praise be! But don't forget about Premiership Banana Puddings time, first! The Mighty Blues of Everton are in first position (assuming Villa lost yesterday, which I will presume #HAILGAMBLOR),

Hey, did y'all notice? Darkest Timeline got darker. As a Karmic punishment, #NuAIDS for teh win! But chaos is not the ally of the progressive-minded American right now. So...let's not think about it. Lesser Footy and JV NFL slate, commence! No, you are not waking up (intentionally) for Chelski hosting Palace. But it

That's right, y'all. The SEC is back, and with a glorious 10-game league schedule. Finally, a fall Sabado that actually feels like a doggone Sabado! But first, you get another Premier League morning, kicking off with United away to Brighton (7:30, NBCSN). This is...not ideal timing for the Trash Birds, with

Hey, how y'all like the pidgin-espanol for "combination?" Although it won't mean MOAR until next weekend, there's enough on the JV slate to merit some discussion. First, the Lesser Footy. Rise and shine early for the UNDEFEATED, UN-DRAWN Muthafuckin' Toffees! This week brings home to West Brom (7:30, Peacock), and the

There's really fuckall to do until Most Glorious el beisbol Cardinals start around 2p (banner pic in honoUr, also since it pisses so many off that maybe we can has extra clubhouse participation??). That's because all the Premiership fixtures are tomorrow morning. So sad. Everton's match is on CNBC, which
