Enjoy, for we will next JV meet in October. Time flies when you're watching FITBAW!! Thoughts? I've got a few: Pep is pretty damn good with his back against the wall. I keep forgetting that. Bruno will be seeing that penno at the death in his sleep. Jamie Vardy scored

Is everybody enjoying the slow transition to Fall weather? I know I sure am. Heat and being a fat fuck don't go together too well. But sitting around watching glorious footy? That's a bingo. How weird is this? Both Manchester teams in the "up with the roosters slot." The marquee being

What did we learn? I tell yew whut. I suck at GAMBLOR. Seriously, I bet ACTUAL MONEYS on Wazzu beating Troi Boiz. A-C-C is A-S-S (see Pitt, Miami). Everton is who we thought they were. Man City made Wakey very happy today. Wolves might be in relegation danger. Alabama is

Are you ready to watch a shit ton of FITBAW? Think of it as kegel exercises, warming up for RedZone Week 2. You may not WANT to wake up for Wolves and Bees (NBCSN, 7:30), but if you think about it, tis a pretty interesting animal battle. Is a Wolf dog-ish

Guten morgen, y'all. I hope Santa brought everyone what they wanted this year. 20 years is apparently the fuckloads of leftover Murrikan high-tech weaponry aanniversary. NEVAR stop learnin! Lesser Footy comes back from its dumbass international break, with Spurs and rebuilding Palace leading things off (7:30, NBCSN). If early fixtures are

Did you enjoy the early slate? Here is what Hippo learned, assuming I don't nod off and forgets to update: There's watching flies fuck (h/t Carlin, George) and then there is B1G "action." You'll do well to see a worse, sloppier (yet still competitive) game all season. And both these squadrons

Sadly, we are on international break, so there is no Lesser Footy to discuss. No Lesser Footy of any consequence, anyway. Good thing the teevee folks managed to fanagle a strong Week One slate. Among the fixtures Hippo suggests watching: Paedo State (+5.5) at Wisconsin (Noon, Fox) Walking penis James Franklin is

The tevee fuckadoos called last Saturday "Week Zero" - even though the results count (sorry, Cornfuckers). So in a technical sense (the best kind of right!) tonight is Week 1 kickoff. You have some halfway decent fixtures! Temple (+14) at Rutgers (6:30, BTN) Y'all remember I called (and wagered) the ML for

Chip Kelly's sweaty tits deserve their own thread, you know? Hawaii (+18) at Westwood Klavern (3:30, ESPN) $20 on the Rainbow Warriors to win - who says no?? Fuck you, YOU have a problem. Later, NFLN has a doubleheader of Tits/Bearistocrats (7:00) and Spanoi/SeaTruthers (10:00). I mean, what the fuck else is one to

Supporters across the Premiership anxiously wait, as deadline day (1 Sept) approaches. For some, it's wondering if Santa will arrive and/or how much cool new shit they get. For others (cough, cough, Everton) it's praying The Grinch doesn't take away everything. Including the will to live. But first, we got fixtures

Just. Fuck's sake. Start the new year with a home loss to David Moyes. Fuck everything. Anyway, the show must go on. Bielsa against Mourinho will make for quite the contrast in style/philosophy (7:30, NBCSN). Not setting my alarm, but as an old...I know I will be awake for it. Go

Oh my cats, y'all. There be some sportsball today. Our hobo relocatoUr Imaginary Friend will bring glad tidings of NFL triple-header (for once, Good Jerb, Shield), but don't forget the Lesser Reason FOAR the Season! Foxes and Red Devils is a tasty early treat (7:30, NBCSN). These might be the two
