Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 15, 2022 Season

I hope everyone enjoyed their fill of weekend bananacakes.  Let's hope the Lord saved some for January! Earlier in the week, I thought to myself that the early window looked kind of meek.  A good reminder of why you should never take anything I think or say seriously, as the action

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 14, 2022 Season

Last week of byes, last week of pretending anyone is in Philly's stratus.  Let's get right to it. Philly went into the Meadowlands, and absolutely ran train on the G-men.  Only a garbage time "subs on subs" 8-ball cut the marhin to 48-22.  Your NFL MVP vote has to be Jalen

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Lucky Week 13, 2022 Season

I mean, not lucky if you are a Donks supporter.  JEEBUS. The saddest part of the early slate?  That is as well as Denver is capable of playing, and they lost 10-9 at the death - to Lamar!s backup.  Supposedly not a season-ender, but it was a knee owie...so wait and see. 

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 11, 2022 Season

Look, not every Sunday is going to be rainbows, fireworks, and sunshine.  But hey, Week 11 still looked WAY better than the Qatar Lesser Footy squadron. We were gypped out of Snowmaggedon 2022 in WNY, as the Bills "hosted" #ThePauls in Neutral Detroit.  Fucking boo.  The game was also liquid shit,

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 10, 2022 Season

Uh, everyone recover from that yet?? Sunday, 13 November 2022 was a day that wholly justified our Clubhouse Mandatory 1-Hour Watch rule.  No, not that the Munchen Kraftwerk Kickoff Klassiker was fulfilling (I watched on mute, barely paid attention to the scheisse 21-16 MRSA victory over the "happy to be here"

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 9, 2022 Season

Deep sigh with the realization that we are now MOAR than halfway through the regular season.  Nothing gold can stay, Pony Boy. Q-aaron sure served up some delicious Schadenfreude, though.  Not one, not two, but THREE pickerceptions (two in the redzone) against the worst goddamned defense in the NFL.  Apparently, his

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 8, 2022

Hippo and Other Hippo wish a Happy Halloween to our myriad child-age readers, as well as y'all over-enthusiastic adults.  Git off-a mah lawn. I don't think anyone will lament over a lack of scoring or fantasy stardom THIS week.  I mean, except That's Rikki's Raiders! - travelling to the Bayou and coming back

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 7, 2022 Season

Things happened yesterday.  Let's discuss some of them! Remember how competent Matty Ice was last week?  Well, fucking forget it.  Don T's Suddenly Quite Perky Tits harrassed the fuck out of him, with two back-breaking first turnovers digging a hole the Humps would never climb out of.  Pretty much all of the

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 6, 2022 Season

Holy bananacakes, even if you expect the unexpected...Sunday was quite the surprise.  And mostly in a good/fun way, for once! At 1-4 and staring into the abyss, most of us were wondering "how low can it go" for the Yinzers.  Turns out, the trip to Buffalo was rock bottom, and they

Instant Hippo Thoughts – Week 5, 2022 Season

So, what did everyone think?  Seems like the day really peaked early (apparently Q-aaron had a bitchy little fit in the locker room, even), then quickly ran out of steam.  Or maybe my hellscape nightmares are just beating me down.  Who fucking knows? That said, nobody remains winless (seems early for
