Ain't it grand? International bullshit is over (but NOT MANDATORY London NFL WOO!!!!), and there is no reason to leave your couch/recliner except to piss and/or re-caffeinate. Let us begin. Are you waking/baking early to watch the goddamned fuckass Redshite beat up on our poor Moose Hornets (7:30, Peacock)? Don't be that

There are times when I wish October would last forever. Driving with the car windows down. Watching leaves change coloUr. FITBAW getting more and more interesting. No elections or fucking holidays to stress over. Shit, I don't even have an NC State or Everton fixture to trouble me this weekend. I

Good morning, all. There is no Lesser Footy to speak of (international break, blech), but at least tomorrow - The Shield tries to fill that void with the most precious of gift. Jest. Falcons (without Ridley!). London. 9:30a EST, full national coverage. As you know, our esteem for FITBAW means that when

Holy shit, do I regret wasting my naptime yesterday. I could have used a nap in that dire noon window of JV fixtures. Today I learned nothing. Except that UGA is as good as everyone thinks. Florida (-7.5) at Kenfucky (6:00, ESPN) This is almost always an excellent game, that Blue Moons almost

Good morning, everyone. Are y'all enjoying the (very occasional) chill in the air? Ah sure is. Sadly, we have another dumb international break on tap, so savoUr the full slate while y'all can. The morning starts early (7:30, NBCSN), with uber-short handed Everton headed to Old Trafford to have their shit

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
