Cure Your VD Woes With Heavy Doses of EPL!

King Hippo - February 13, 2016February 12, 2016

As you likely know, it's a phony-assed Big Greeting Card holiday this weekend. So, instead of paying exorbitant prices for half-dead flowers (welcome to supply vs. demand 101, but try telling that to your significant other when you try to get flowers a week early instead) or staying home

Balls’ Offseason Plans

ballsofsteelandfury - February 9, 2016February 9, 2016

Well, here we are again at the end of a NFL season. Things may seem bleak. Maybe as bleak as my Cure-inspired middle of the night ramblings, but fear not, dear readers for we have plans PLANS I TELL YOU for the offseason. At least I do. Old School Zero is putting

Through the magic of Amazon, I recently acquired a new Everton fleece throw. Since its addition, the Toffees are 2-0 and have yet to concede (albeit against a shockingly shite League Two side in the FA Cup, and the Barcodes in the League). I can only hope neither

Greetings, various iced and snowed in Commentist Party members! And those who aren't part of my East Coast biased world ,, smh. Let the EPL warm you with three reasonably good 10am Saturday fixtures. 5th place Manure takes on 10th place (but rising!) Soton on NBCSN. The Saints

Did everybody enjoy all the shitty blowouts yesterday? That's not even counting those of you who encountered "day after" gastrointestinal distress ,, smgdh. Fortunately, this weekend shall never run out of teh footy, and the law of averages says SOME of it eventually has to be watchable...right? Aresnal opens

Welcome Back EPL Saturday! Preview

King Hippo - January 1, 2016January 15, 2016

As perhaps 2 or 3 Commentist Party members may have noticed, there was no Saturday morning thread last week, thanks to the Premier League taking the week off for FA Cup 3rd round action (i.e., the round when Premier League sides enter the tourney against what's left of various lower

Boxing Day is Here! EPL and More University Footy Exhibitions

For the uninitiated, the EPL always features a full slate of games on the day after Christmas, which the Brits call "Boxing Day." This year, Boxing Day falls on a normal EPL Saturday, so everybody plays again on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday to give the fans the holiday deluge

Christmas Eve Afternoon Waste of Our Time

WCS - December 24, 2015December 24, 2015

I mean, what do YOU really want to do? Spend time with your family? Pffff... We've got two JV bowl games today. For starters, we've got the Bahamas Bowl, between the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders, and the Western Michigan Broncos. The only bowl game to be (currently) played in another

Are you ready for some glorified exhibition university footy? It could be better. It should be better. We are in the semifinal round of the 1-AA tournament, and there's no valid reason why we can't do a 16-team 1-A version, too. For the record, I think this will

Yes, the weekend has finally come when I have no JV NFL to preview. The world is colder and more barren than usual. And I promised my kids we would go get a Christmas tree this afternoon. Timing is not exactly coincidental. I will likely fuck

Welcome once again to all things Lesser Footy! I have no idea if/how to incorporate the coming exhibition games into this format, or whether to graft college basketballing onto the Euro-footy in the winter/spring. The mind, it boggles. Anyway, last week's sister kissing in Leicester allowed order to be

Take a breath and really enjoy it, as it's the last true cornucopia day - a full slate of all thing footy. Try not to get all emo and depressed, rather enjoy the moment. There is a metric fuckton to savor. Plenty of time to Steven Patrick
