No, this is not a #HippoLyf reference, I am still a fat fuck who will remain such. Just...not much in the way of viewing. Our Kraut pals at Treyverkeusen look to wrap up their "Invincibles" status in the Bundesliga, home against Augsburg (9:30, ESPN+). Nothing else matters there, to my knowledge. After

I have literally fuckall to say, but feel free to post here. I posted Hot Bayern Girl because she must be sad today. The only excuse for Arsenal's frequent use of their banana kit? If it had "Bluth's Original" as the shirt sponsor.

Hey, guess who TOTES spaced that he agreed to Carpenter sommet out this morning? Watch this, while subbing in Mock Draft with K Hippo! Your assignment, should you choose to accept it, is "Favourite TV series (including mini-series but NOT moviefilms) theme music/song." Wait 30 minutes or 5 picks before you go

What, did you wake up and hope to see Premiership footy? And then JV NFL?? Too bad, you get nothing. Absolute fuckall. Well, there are FA Cup ties, though the draw was pretty uninspiring (though surely nothing can bottom out as badly as Everton's dreadful nil-nil away to Palace on Thursday, when

Has everyone had just the bestest day? Since I'm the only (living) Wolven Sort around (paging Warthog!), I knew y'all would have. Talk about el beisbol if you want, but know that I will be quietly judging you for doing so. Ballsy: And he will be not so quietly judging me for

Yes, indeed. At least that's one pissed-offedness trigger that's on bye. Huzzah, universe! Ballsy: It's a good thing my alma mater sucks at football and I don't like them because they rejected my niece. That way I can enjoy college football without any aggravation.

Some weeks, I just can't really be arsed to preview all the Lesser Footy. Especially with the German Elton John up on his cross again, wailing about the Spurs match/VAR fuck-up. You've gotten waaaaayyyyyy more than your fair share of oopsie-doodles over the years, please just STFU. Full schedule is here,

Yesterday, I took a "my brain is breaking" day. I had fallen asleep with a migraine, 6p on Thursday night. Slept until 4a, then fell asleep again during HAI/PRC match. So, I put on my "out of office" work e-mail greeting. It was all going well until like 5p when I

Holy shitsnacks, do we ever need MOAR meaningful footy in our lives. As y'all know, I hold a certain disdain for the Golden Shower Cup. Yet I still appreciate how the assdick USMNT lost in the semis to...like, maybe the 8th best Van Halen single? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fuKDBPw8wQA Either Canalz FC or Mexico will

The big (pin intended) news of the past week is Leeds making the ultimate panic move - hiring Fat Sam Allardyce aka Gravy Tits aka (many other nicknames). He's corrupt, a tactical dinosaur, solely interested in media attention and self-promotion. Don't cry for the Stupid White Male being left behind,
