Sorry Coach Reid - I know you read that as Beloved Parm. Today will be interesting, as I leave my recluse lair around halftime of my Wolves du Merde (Derby with Scotchy's l'Orange) fixture (that's at 4:00 on ACCN, it deserves no preview). I am off to see oldest HippoSpawn do

Look, I have given up on human society. It just gets worse by the day. Retreat into the only consistently (well, mostly consistent) good thing in life, sportsball! I also heard the best cover ever on the radio this week, just edging out my previous shempion ("Mrs. Robinson" by The

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

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.

It's that time again, Imaginary Internet Friends. Y'all seemed to enjoy the hate-hate-hate for Championship crests, so here we are back again for a trip through League One. For those of you who don't follow Lesser Footy, League One is a step down from the Championship. There are more teams,

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

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

I didn't learn much today, that shouldn't already be glaringly obvious: Don't bet on Tennessee. For the love of Christ, don't bet on Illinois. Maybe don't bet on JV NFL, like, at all?? Ronaldo can still excel as a flat track bully. Arsenal will not go pointless for the 2021-22 season/ So
