Instant-ish Hippo Thoughts – Wild Card Round, 2025 Season

No scheduler means I wait to type this whenever I get up and feel almost sentient.  Hippo apologizes for the inconvenience. Macro-level, I am content.  The games were compettive (except the 2nd half of P*ts/Clips, which I didn't watch anyway) and played at a very high level (similar qualifier for P*ts/Clips). 

Micro-Hippo Thoughts, Week 12, 2025 Season

Games can has a Hippo angry.  Thusly, my teevee box went off around 4:30 and stayed that way. The saving grace of the afternoon was that Chi**** at least didn't quite collapse, though they certainly TRIED.  I had no idea how MAGA Dipshit Rudolph could have put 28 on the board

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 10, 2025 Season

A day filled with many games, a few of which were eveb mildly compelling!  Let's dive in. Der Fuhrerbunker Klassiker came at us bright and early, with Penix and Dimebag treating us to sub-cromulent slop.  Even with Extra Time, Penix completed a grand total of 12 forward passes.  Yet he was

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 4, 2025 Season

Be thee warned in advance, I started a round of prednizone Sunday morning, so I am grumpy as fuck.  Also...gesticulates at Wolven Sort.  This will be less than half-arsed. We mandatorily got up and watched a shitshow from Ireland, Yinzburgh beating SKOL 24-21 (score deceptively close thanks to ample garbage time

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 10, 2024 Season

Hippo is of two minds.  There is nothing left in our world worth fighting for.  Small-l liberal democracy is dead andburied, or at least with extreme gangrene that can't even start clearing up for 20+ years.  Either way, I won't live to see anything improve. But this is our last football

Merry Xmas Placeholder/Briefest of Hippo Thoughts

Merry Shitsmas, one and all.  Here is some of what happened yesterday (I fell asleep and didn't write up anything last night): Holy cats, I turned off Yinzers/Raiders as Josh Jacobs broke off a long run (was fading him in fantasy), but it got called back for a MOST LOVELY XMAS

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 12, 2022 Season

Apologies for these being less comprehensive than usual - somedays, my brain just collapses in on itself, and a randomly long nap ensues.  Today was one of those days. Talk about self protection, though!  I could flip to full coverage of my Donks thanks to their playing in Charlotte - but

Boxing Day Mini-Hippo Thoughts

I am annoyed with Lesser Footy, but there are a handful of watchable "Festive Fixtures"  10:00 brings City/Leicester (Peacock), Spurs/Palace (USA), and Saints/Hammers (NBCSN).  The rest conflict with RedZone time, so they can fuck right off.  Three ties are #TransformerNuAIDS-postponed. More importantly, we had two meaningful NFL games on Christmas Day.
