You know what is great in life?  Naps.  OK, and cats.  Cats also LOVE it when you abide by their schedule and nap during the day.  I napped for the entire duration of MRSA 31, Iggles 15.  I regret nothing. That means I woke up in time for what promised to

Good morning, fellow dick joke enthusiasts.  You may have noticed that Super-Duper-Mega Wild Card Bitches! weekend began yesterday.  Two FITBAW games on the docket - well, one game and one brutal skullfucking. That's Rikki's Raiders! met up with Team WKRP in what was, despite the shambolic officiating, an excellent game.  A

Yes, Mr. Potamus gets bumped this week.  Because 2021 season playoff history will be HER-story too! Damn, was that ever some valiant shit, or what?  The Tomsulas were deader than ded.  Like, bottom of the ocean with cement shoes dead.  17-nil down, on the road (to a team with plenty to play

There were too many fixtures crammed into this singular day.  I liked the spreading out.  So many #WhitePplProblems up in this muthafucka. Look, I am not a doctor - or a Doktor - but as a Son of the South, ah noes my Antonio Brown diagnosis - nuttier than a shithouse rat.  We

I hope everyone enjoyed their time with family this weekend.  And by family, of course I mean FITBAW! If we learned nothing else in 2021 (and we mostly didn't), it's this - don't go pissing Joe Burrow off.  Balmer was down to its third string QB, but Josh Johnson played fairly well.

December is a Glorious month for FITBAW, even with #TransformerNuAIDS trying to shit in the punch bowl.  The Shield's "don't ask, don't tell" policy sure cut that advance off! I am sure that the professional footballers of DUUUUUUVVVVVAAALLLLL are glad to see the back of Urban Meyer.  But it's still a

Man, is Scotchy's banner quote about the Clapton-ish window ever...evergreen.  At least with respect to the early games.  One keeps thinking "it can't get any shittier" and every week it does.  MOAR BLEERGH-centred as well. The game that stayed close-ish the longest was Truthers/500s, but Seattle broke it open late.  Russ

Oh my cats, apologies to yeah right.  That had to be brutal to watch. Because the walk-off winner today belonged to...Baby Buster and the No-Fuck Lions, an 11-yard TD toss to Amon-Ra on the last play of the game.  The most unlikeliest of heroes, for sure.  It was a bonkers game

Welcome to the year's most depressing of Mondays! A strange JV Saturday presaged some oddball stuff at the varsity level.  And I guess we shouldn't be surprised that the helmet-less motorcycle rider that is Yinzburgh slammed into reality (h/t, Game Time Decision).  But doesn't it look weird to see...Cincinnati 41, Pittsburgh

Yesterday was Hippo Family Thanksgiving, so my attention was divided.  Plus, the games were kinda butt (third week running, DUE BETTER NFL).  Still, FITBAW things happened, and here are a few of those things. Speaking of doing better...Grumblelord finds hisself back atop the AFC East, thanks to the reeling Bills.  If
