No doubt by now, you've heard a bit about the above-pictured handsome devil (sorry about the lack of Bama/Bayou Bengals cheerleaders, you'll live). Enough to know NOT to Google the horrific injury he suffered, resulting from a snidey (but not malicious) Son Heung-min tackle. All the human emotion and forgiveness talk

This past Thursday, I had my "every 5 weeks" haircut, rescheduled to 1:30. I arrived before my stylist was back from lunch (fuck you, what kind of Philistine DOESN'T use a stylist??), so I walked around the corner to get a libation (as I am back off solid food). As

Everton drew shit-ass Palace last week, while I was in Colorady. Yes, I got up super early to watch. No, I am not all angry about this. Everton got an away point, despite being forced into TWO changes - Andre Gomes (see later) injured, then DM Morgan Schneiderlin sent off

Down to the Raging Afrikan Semis – Lesser Moving Forward

King Hippo - July 13, 2019July 13, 2019

This is a bit of a footy desert for us degenerate #HAILGAMBLOR types. There is less to pick and choose from, so we tend to...force the #ACTION a bit? Anyway, happy me that Sweden, Norway, Finland, Brasil, Belarus, etc. are all kicking back into gear today. Them's is leagues I

Good morning, It's Soccer Saturday and Matchday 38 of 38 in the EPL, meaning we will have a Champion today. Hippo hands Wakezilla a note. Wakezilla reads the note All the EPL games are on Sunday and not today? Well that's some bullshit. Way to let the Americans win, England. Seeing how the season

Yes, that obnoxious bleating Geordie will be creaming his knickers all over Real and Barca this afternoon (2:45 EST, BeIn). Yet another el Clasico, coming off the heels of a dull as dishwater Copa tie mid-week. Same location, even. But my blood is up, yet again, for the Merseyside Derby (Sunday,

Can Everton Finish Off Mourinho? (and other Lesser/JV Combo Thoughts)

Yes, it's time to do to Jose Mourinho what we did to Davey Moyes (what, like 5 years ago?) and finish the walking ded off. Everton (in 8th position on 15 points, +3 GD) only need a draw at Old Trafford to stay above Manure (10th, -1), and the Blues

It's with a heavy and angry heart that I write this. As I noted on NSNO.co.uk, the creatures that live under rocks have won. It is not enough for them to have Brexit and Trump, no. They had to come for my Everton, too. I can not, and will not

NFL News: Jay Cutler has cleared concussion protocol, and will start Sunday versus Denver. The Broncos will counter with (spins wheel) Trevor Siemian. Devonta Freeman has cleared concussion protocol & will return to the Falcons active roster. Worryingly, it's his third concussion since November 2015, pushing him close to Trent
