Instant Hippo Thoughts – Bonus Thanksgiving Edition

Oh glory of glories, to bear witness to a full Thursday of turkey day footy. SO MUCH NFC EAST to digest. No wonder we can't poop, and they go around blaming that poor, sweet, innocent 6-foot opioid... The Iggles MUST be trying to get Chip Kelly fired, right?

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 11

Congratulations to putative MVP Cam Newton, who shat all over the Washington Redacteds. That makes it 10 in a row for the 9-1 Panthers! Not to be out-NFC Easted, the Sanchize led the Iggles to an early 7-0 lead over the Bucs, only to be narrowly edged 45-10 down the

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week Ten

Oh, we have seen some herp. And we have seen some derp. But Week Ten was chock full of some truly special stuff. Start with the bestest. Elvis Dumervil. I can't even. The Jaguras, without even enough time to run a spike play, barely get the

Late Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week Six

I drank way the fuck too much watching my beloved Donks give me repeated heart attackery at the local sports pub yesterday. Turns out the manager/proprietor is also a fan, and said I was the first fellow traveler in his establishment for a game all season! I also

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week Five

I thank the good members of the Commentist Party for pointing out what my 2015 Donks are really like - the 2000 Balmer Ratbirds, who won a Super Bowl with a ferocious defense and a Trent Dilfer. Now, we just have to get teh PeyPey's performance up to baseline
