REJOICE! FOOTBALL IS UPON US! FOOTBALL IS NIGH! Preseason football is staring us in the face, and for all its ugliness, it's good to have it back. And with the advent of the new season, it is time for TEAM PREVIEWS!!!! This year, we've chosen to open it up for audience participation. Many

Ah yes, summer camp, the wonderful fun of doing… whatever arts and crafts shit, I don't know what goes on at most sleepaway camps. The only sleepaway camp I went to was music camp, and though we had a good time it's not nearly as fun as the "one time

So obviously this is not the Weekly Warhammer Woundup, and for that I am sorry. Thanks to ArmedandHammered's tireless efforts to edumacate us, however, I am intrigued. Not being a tabletop gamer, I have instead chosen to stick my head into the yawning lion's mouth that is Warhammer 40K Fluff-

Remember that old SNL sketch “Fecal Matter with your Host, Doug Fecal”? No? Yeah I figured it was just me. It was a solid (heh) talk show format with a specialized host and topic. Well, we ain’t exactly doing Pod Flies Open around here, but what about in written form,

Senor Weaselo - July 19, 2023July 19, 2023

Yesterday nine teams' rookies reported to training camp. And today the Jets have fully opened up camp, as they're playing in the Hall of Fame Game. There's football actually on the horizon! The important stuff: -Steelers, Alex Highsmith agree to 4 year, $68M extension. -He ain't cause he's not: Denzel Mims no

TRAINING CAMP DAY! TRAINING CAMP DAY! WOOOOOOO OK, so it's only rookies (and only nine teams) but FOOTBALL IS IMMINENT! We finally have some Movement in the corpse of the NFL offseason. Perhaps it's just maggots and the buildup of gasses during putrefaction, but hey! I'll take what I can get. NFL NEWS FRANCHISE

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The True Nadir

Senor Weaselo - July 12, 2023July 12, 2023

Well, for anyone who watched, that was a bit of an eh game at least in the middle innings. The 8th and 9th were interesting though. For anyone who didn't, the NL beat the AL 3-2 in the All-Star Game in Seattle last night on the strength of an 8th

I was gonna do something like rate the Sousa marches, but there are a lot of Sousa marches. So I'm gonna not do that, considering it would have ended in some sort of joke about the piccolo solo in the last time of "The Stars and Stripes Forever" after the

Banner Photo Credit (And clearly I have no idea what day it is) Last week, Litre teed up a question to me, which is exactly how I predicted these alternating Thursdays would go, and they absolutely haven't. "As you know I live in the political equivalent to Florida. It was floated about this

(Wow, nicely done, me.) Well, I didn't finish any gigs after midnight this past week, so I'll take it. That took me almost a week to fully recover, even while I had other gigs that week. Or actually that's part of why. So, let's scramble here! -There's one race left in this

One of the stories in the writers' backroom this past week has been my Sunday night. I am still recovering from it, because, well, it's nothing short of the longest gig any of us have ever had. Including the contractor. Who had played something in the morning. In short, call time

I know what you're thinking, but no, the AFL coverage will not end until you all are bought in on Aussie Footy or I die. Or I get lazy. Whichever comes first. This past week my GWS Giants showed they've still got fight left in this rebuilding season, Port throttled Western,
